Mom and dad just like her better I think.
B: No, no, no, no. Don't say that.
A: I know I shouldn't say that.

She doesn't even

A: So where do you wanna go; now that we're here? The
department store or the used store?
B: Oh, it's really hard to say.
This is the best
consignment shop in town.
A: Everyone who is careful about money shops here. But the
department store is the one that we can trust. You've been shopping there all
your life. (Yeah.)
A: You had your first part-time job there.
B: They've been in business (for) 35 years.
A: And we know if we get something we don't like
we can just take
it back to the department store.
The consignment
store has a no-returns policy.
B: Wait a minute.
What are we here to buy again?
You said you
needed shirts?
A: No. Shoes.
B: Shoes? ... Who on earth would buy used shoes?
You've got to go

This is a very
important event coming up.
A: And you know that if you look your best you have better chance of getting the job
than another person. So you want to get a suit and new belt from that fancy brand store which has got all
the famous names and logos and labels with a really nice white business shirt;
classic look.
B: But it's so much more expensive than wonder mart
A: which we're not going to
because it only
has coloured shirts.
If you're going

you need
something classic.
B: Alright. I got it. I got it.
I want to go to
the nice store anyway.

some tables and chairs and some curtains.
B: Just to get started?
A: And we're also going to need a new 57-inch flat screen 3D
tv. and speakers for music in every room.

Because you know

books and music.

her living room down the hallway and into her office at home.
A: Oh, how do I know she doesn't already have whatever I buy here?
B: That's a risk you have to take. No one ever said friendship
would be easy. Alright, we're here.

B: I like tea; straight tea, no sugar.
A: Me too. And I like coffee too.
B: Coffee! Oh, I can't stand that.
A: Why not?
B: So bitter. If I drink coffee it has to be with a lot of
milk and sugar so it doesn't taste bitter.
A: How about juice or soft drinks?
B: I drink juice sometimes.
Fruit juices, or
vegetable juices
A: Like tomato?
B: Yeah. But I don't like soft drinks at all.
A: Me neither. All that sugary stuff makes me fat.
B: Ah, ha.
UNIT 4 - Conversation - 02
A: When you go to a restaurant and you have a choice? What

in it.

Yes, and I love that sound.
A: Me too.
UNIT 5 - Conversation - 03
A: And here's the microphone. Your song is up next, right?
B: Yeah ................
A: Is that all you listen to? Punk and metal music?
B: Why not? It's the best. Listening to that music gets me
going, gives me energy. But I do listen to other stuff. For example classic
rock.
A: As long as it's loud, you listen to it.
B: Ha, ha, ha. What would you like?
A: I play piano. So, I like classical music. It's soft for
adults.
UNIT 5 - Conversation - 04

Maybe I've got

There are lots of video games, and I can
kill time watching tv, reading comics and stuff like that.
B: Comic books? Me too.
How long have you
been doing that?
A: Um .. since I was in elementary school.
I've got a pretty
big collection now.
UNIT 6 - Conversation - 02
A: ..... So, that's what I do. How about you?
Do you have a
hobby?
B: Except for playing with my dog ... umm
I didn't until
just a couple of months ago.
My sister was
volunteering or something.
And she seemed to
like it.
Helping older
people who had trouble getting around.
A: So, you decided to do that too?
B: Yeah. Volunteer. Like I said, I just started recently.
So, I haven't
decided how much I like it yet.
I think it makes

We're trying to

A: Two weeks? Why the drums?
B: I tried the trumpet at first, but I wasn't very good, so
now I'm playing the drums.
I like that a lot
better.
A: And you say you meet after school?
B: Right, right, yeah. We meet over at my friend's
house just for hours.
We could play
hours and hours playing music and stuff. It's fun.

Are you doing any

I usually go all

A: No, not me. I sometimes play basketball with a couple of
friends of mine.
But, I've never
done any cycling.

A: Umm, not for more. I began about a year ago.

A: You've been abroad, right?
What's the coolest place you've ever been to?
B: Umm, coolest place? Wow, that's ..........
A: a difficult question for you, right?
B: I loved Brazil when I went. Beautiful views, the people
..
A: And the culture ...
B: Right, yeah. But the coolest place would probably be the
Great Barrier reef in Australia. That's great because I just love the ocean.
All that beautiful scenery above and under the water. You
know, the coral and the tropical fish?
A: I'm so jealous.
B: Absolutely gorgeous. The best place on earth.

UNIT 7 - Conversation - 02

Egypt.

It's one of the most famous tourist destinations.
B: Yeah, I loved it.
A: Well, Egypt has its things and the great pyramids.
B: Right, right. How was that?
A: Yeah, it was amazing to see but it's hot and crowded and

What you don't
know is that they are like right across the street from fast food restaurants.
B: You're kidding.
UNIT 7 - Conversation - 03
A: You went to Europe not too long ago?
B: Right, yeah.
A: Paris is such a dream.

I spent most of

A: I'm so jealous. So, how was it?
B: Great. Unbelievable. I mean really really great. So much
to see. It's a little crowded, but all those .....
A: You went to the museums, right?
B: We had all of them,
so, all the
historic places had great food.
The people were
so nice too.
A: You're lucky you had such a great time.
UNIT 7 - Conversation - 04
A: Let me see. The best city in the world.
B: Someplace you've already visited.
A: Well, lots of people say London is the best for
sightseeing, but it's probably the most expensive city in the world to visit.
Lots to see when I went a few years ago, but the hotels are so expensive, and
the food isn't so great.
B: Umm, sorry to hear that.
A: New York, New York city is great. Great restaurants,
....entertainment ....
B: Shopping?
A: Yes, shopping isn't as expensive as you think.
And, it's easy to
get around by taxi. Taxis are so cheap. Great variety of good food.

A: Yeah.

A: Oh, yeah. You must be into soccer too then?
B: Soccer? You're kidding, right?
Soccer's okay for
kids after school.
But you'll never
catch me watching anything but baseball or football.
A: Why not? Soccer's popular all over the world.
B: Okay, fine, but not where I'm from.
Ever since I was a little girl, my dad was a fan,
so I went to
games with him.
A: That's interesting. I had no idea you're such a sport
fan.
B: Love sports. Absolutely, love them.
UNIT 8 - Conversation - 02
A: We'll just have the best time. Me and my friends will go
down to the empty parking lot next to the gas centre and skateboard. You know
walk on our stances and spins.
B: Oh, speaking like that. Do you guys do any snowboarding?
A: You know? That's funny. I love skateboarding
but I've never
done any snowboarding.
B: That's terrible. Snowboarding is the best.
Yeah, so much
fun.
A: Hmm. Have you ever hear of water skiing?
It's popular in some places where they have lakes and
rivers. As people pulls you, and you have to ski on the water.

I always thought

society. I don't think you could ever get me interested in that.

B: Yeah, that's fun.
I like team
sports where you set up your partner. Kind of a challenge.
A: How about basketball? That's a team sport.
B: Yeah, it's not bad, but I don't like how fast that moves.
It feels so
competitive; so much more than volleyball or other sports.
A: Yeah. I guess that's true.
B: Kind of cool to watch, but, ummm, it's not my favourite.
UNIT 9 - Conversation - 01
A: Hey, how's it going?

B: She makes good grades.
A: No, no, no. She's pretty lazy about studying, so she
doesn't make As, but she's naturally smart.
B: Must be nice to be so intelligent. Kim's problem is that

I work at a small

Not terribly
exciting to talk about I'm afraid.
A: Ah, so, you don't like it.
B: Well, no . .er, It's quite boring.
The office is

A: You're kidding. That's so cool. What're you dong? Computer ...?
B: Programming. Yeah.
A: Oh, really?
B: I know it's funny, but I help out the full-time guys a
little bit.
A: Do you like it?
B: Love it. Great atmosphere. And there is one really cute

UNIT 11 - Conversation - 01
A: That was so funny.

A: And the way he stands when she throws her arms around him
...
B: I wanna guy like that. To marry a guy who makes my heart
go pow.
A: Affectionate. But that's not what makes it romantic. He's .... umm ... give me a second.
B: No problem.
A: The way he lets her go to be free. Oh, what's the word.
B: Yeah, yeah. I know what you mean. He loves her, but he
lets her be free.
A: Exactly. That's true love.
UNIT 11 - Conversation - 03
A: She's smart and beautiful and cool.
B: I like the way the movie makes the woman the hero.
The one who destroys the aliens and saves the universe.
A: She's .... How can I say it? What's ...
B: Brave?
A: Brave, but more than that.
Like bold and
strong. A brave hero and strong, but she's not afraid to take a chance. Risk.
All I can think of is that.

presentations ...
