n: i don't know. my life is a big mess. everything is so compliceted.

c: come on, nothin can be that bad.

n: but promise me, you'll keep it a secret.

c: ok, i promise. so what's troubling you so much?

n: i've fallen in love with my boss.

c: really? is he married?

n: no, of course not. he is still single.

c: then what's your problem?

n: i try to keep it to myself. but there is a lot of gossip about us.

c: oh, i see. office romance tends to be the subject of gossip.

n: worse still, he is trying to avoid me these days.

c: office romance is very tricky.

n: it gives me a lot of pressure and i feel depressed.

c: cheer up, nada. you'll be fine.

barbara:oh, hi lucas, come on in. i'm barbara. nice to meet you.

l:nice to meet you too.

b: would you like something to drink? i've got tea and some grape juice.

l: thanks. some tea would be nice. chinese tea is great. i really like your tea set. where did you get it?

b: oh, there is a supermarket not far from here. but there is also a tea house around the corner, where you can get tea and a tea set as well.

l: oh yeah, i saw the tea house the other day. i think i might go and have a look sometime. it's a nice neighborhood here.

b: you are right about that. it's quiet and very convenient. you can get to the bus and the subway stations within ten minutes'walk. there's a grocery store, a book store, a gym, and many restaurants along the street.

l: there's a gym nearby? that's exciting! i really want to start to go to gym as soon as possible. i've been lazy this summer holiday and have put on some weight.

b: well, if you want we can go together sometime. actually i was thinking of going this afternoon, if you like, you can join me and i can show you the beighborhood along the way.

l: that would be wonderful. thanks!

roy: you said it. good beer, good music, and on top pf that, there are so many hot girls here!

s: i'm with you on that. check out that one over there. i think i;m in love!

r: well, she's alright, but not really my cup of tea. what about the blond with the red dress?

s: oh, that's janice. she's just new in town. you have a thing for blonds, eh?

r: yeah! she could do anything she wants with me!

s: i bet. why not go over and talk to her? she's really nice.

r: i don't think so. i get so nervous talking to girls. i always put my foot in my mouth, scare her off, and end up looking like a real fool. besides, she is way out of my league.

s: come on! man up! you'll never know until you try.

r: okay okay, just let me have another cup of beers to get my head in the game.

s: all right. but i think you ought to move soon.

r: why?

s: i can see five other guys eying her up.

r: okay, here i go!

s: good luck!

bob: more or less. there;s just one thing bothering me.

e: oh? what's that?

b: well, you know i have some students studying for their master's degree. one of them tried to give me a gift that kinda made me uneasy.

e: what gift?

b: it's an egyptian carpet. the student came to my office the other day and brought the carpet to show his gratitude. seeing what gift was, i was really uncomfortable. i mean it's too expensive a gift for a student to give a professor. i don't think i've done anything to deserve that gift, so i refused it.

e: you refused the gift? that's terrible.

b: i know, but i really can't accept such an expensive gift. i explained to him why, but he seemed really upset about it. i think he might have taken it the wrong way.

e: perhaps. he probably thinks you considered the gift a bribe for a higher grade.

b: that's what i am worried about. i do understand the respect attached with the gift and i am honored. but i really don't think it's proper for a student to spend a fortune in a gift for a professor. i think we need to have a talk to make sure we are on the same page.

l: that would be a good shot. can you take my picture here, dear? please try to get the garden in the frame as well.

j: all right. would you please stand closer to the flower bed? good. smile. say "cheese". ok, got you. that's terrific.

l: thanks. could you take one more from this angle?

j: no problem.

l: now let's have one together.

j: do you know how to set the timer?

l: let me see…set the timer first and push the button,oh, come here.

j: ok, let's have a try.

l: cheese...

j: did it come out?

l: yes, but it's blurred and a little dark.

j: never mind. let's go to the falls and try again.

l: ok,let's go.

nick: is that the girl you spent almost every weekend with?

s: yeah, that's her. we had a lot of wonderful times together. she is really a special friend, and i want to get her something meaningful.

n: i am not good at picking gifts. maybe you can ask if there's anything she needs to make it easier?

s: i don't think so. that way it would lose all the charm. i want it to be a surprise. i want to show her that i care about her and i hope our friendship will last.

n: yeah, that's nice.

s: hmm, i think i've got an idea. maybe i can get her an ever-green plant to take back home.

n: a plant? that's creative. i'm sure ever time she waters it she'll think of you. but there is a problem. do you think it'll be able to go through the customs?

s: i hope so. i'll make sure to get a small one so she can put it into her suitcase. i hope it won't cause her trouble at the border.

n: i don't know. i think the idea of a plant going across borders with a friend is really exciting but maybe seeds would be safer. you don't want to get her in trouble
