How are you?

I'm good.

How are you doing?

All is going well.

I'm just looking for some delicious veggies for my dinner tonight.

What are you making?

I'm going to make some vegetable soup.

Yum!

I can help you with that.

Great!

I have some fresh tomatoes that were just picked this morning.

Would you like some of them?

Those look wonderful.

I'll take four, please.

And do you have any green beans or peas?

I have green beans this week.

Would you like a pound of them?

Yes, I think a pound will work.

Here you go.

What about some potatoes?

Sure, I'll take four red potatoes.

I'll also take some carrots.

A full pound of carrots, please.

Here you go.

Anything else?

What fruits are in season right now?

My kids love the watermelon I got from you last week.

I have more watermelon if you're interested, but I also have strawberries.

They are perfectly sweet and delicious.

I would love some.

I'll take two pounds, please.

Is that everything?

Yes.

That will be $23.45.

Here you go.

Keep the change.

Thank you.

I'll see you next week.

Thank you.

Bye.

Hello.

Can I help you?

Hello.

I'd like to buy a pair of jeans.

Sure.

What style do you need?

Skinny, slim, regular, or relaxed?

I'd like a regular fit.

Let me look.

What size do you take?

32-32.

Just a moment.

Here you go.

What material is this?

It's a raw denim that hasn't been washed or treated.

It feels rough, stiff, and uncomfortable.

Do you have a softer material?

I want comfortable jeans.

Yes.

We also have washed denim that feels softer.

What do you say about these ones?

These seem perfect.

How much are these jeans, please? $55.

Can I try them on, please?

Of course.

The fitting rooms are over there, behind you.

Do they fit?

They are super comfortable.

Run a little large in the waist.

But I always use a belt anyway.

They fit perfectly in the length.

Do these jeans shrink during the wash?

No, they don't, because they're pre-shrunk, so they won't shrink anymore.

Wonderful.

I'll take them.

Thank you.

Hello.

Hello.

I'd like to buy these two books.

Could you make the bill, please?

Of course.

Oh, do you know that there is a special offer?

If you buy three books, the third one is free.

Buy three, pay for two.

Do you want to get another one?

Oh, that sounds great.

Do you have any books on health and lifestyle?

Yes, of course.

The healthy living section is at the back, next to the fantasy section.

Okay, thanks.

Have you found what you were looking for?

Yes, I have.

Here are the three books I'd like to purchase today.

That makes $40.

Should I have them wrapped as a gift?

That won't be necessary, thank you.

Would you like to pay by cash or by card?

I will pay through debit card.

No problem.

Can I have your debit card?

Of course.

Here is your card payment receipt.

Thank you for shopping here.

Can I help you?

Oh, yes.

I've had my briefcase stolen.

Okay, I'll take some details.

Tell me what it looks like, first of all.

Well, it's a leather brown briefcase with multiple pockets inside.

It has two metal push-button locks in front.

It's medium size.

Does it also have a shoulder strap?

No, it doesn't.

What objects did you have inside the briefcase?

I had my laptop, sunglasses, wallet, ID card, and a black leather book with important notes and sketches.

How much money was there in your wallet? $200 and three cards.

So, now I have no money and as such, you see, I have no way of getting home today.

I see.

Don't worry.

We're going to help you get home safely.

Where exactly did you lose your briefcase?

In the bus station.

I was sitting on the bench reading the news on my phone with the briefcase right next to me.

When the bus arrived, I stood up and noticed that my briefcase disappeared.

Was the bus station crowded?

Well, there were about 10 or 12 people in the station.

And what time was this?

It was 3.30 p.m.

Can you please give me some personal details?

Yes, sure.

My name is Rob Gilbert.

Can you spell that?

Yes, it's G-I-L-B-E-R-T.

And your address?

53 E Randolph Street, Chicago.

And you have a contact telephone number?

Yes, it's 345-855-2456.

Okay.

Please sign this form.

We'll contact you as soon as we find something about your briefcase.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

Next, please.

What would you like?

I'd like the soup to start, please.

Okay.

Here you are.

What else?

I'd like the grilled fish and rice.

Of course.

And how about a salad?

That sounds good.

I'd like a mixed salad.

What kind of dressing?

Vinaigrette, please.

How about dessert?

We have apple pie and cheesecake.

I'll have some apple pie.

Of course.

Here you are.

Enjoy your meal.

Thanks.

Bye.

Hello, young man.

What can I get for you?

Hi.

I'd like the mashed potatoes with gravy and pork chops.

And what are those green vegetables over there?

They're roasted green beans.

They are so delicious and healthy.

Would you like some?

Yes, please.

And for dessert, I'd like some ice cream.

I'm afraid we don't have ice cream today.

Only cheesecake or apple pie.

Okay.

Then I'll have the cheesecake, please.

Would you like some salad with your meal?

Oh, yes.

I forgot about the salad.

I'd like a tomato salad with olive oil, please.

Here you are.

Enjoy.

Thanks.

Good morning.

How can I help you?

Good morning.

I would like to take some classes here at the sports center.

Sure.

Which classes are you interested in?

I'm not sure.

What classes are available?

If you like karate or boxing, you can join a class in our exercise studio.

We also have walk-in activities like volleyball, indoor soccer, basketball, and archery in the sports hall.

There are also three squash courts available for you.

You can book these whenever you like to play with your friends.

Wow.

That sounds really fun.

We also have group classes like Zumba, but also activities like fencing and gymnastics in the exercise hall.

I'm sure my sister will be delighted to join the Zumba classes.

You can do a climbing class.

Our climbing wall is 11 meters high and has about 30 routes.

Is there also a gym at the center?

Yes, there is.

Our gym has an offer for everyone, cardio equipment, strength equipment, and even weightlifting course.

One of our instructors is always here to help you out.

What about a swimming pool?

Yes, sure.

We have a 25-meter, 8-lane swimming pool.

Everything sounds awesome.

I'll go for karate classes.

Please sign me up.

There is a class that starts on the 22nd of March.

How much does it cost?

It's $50 for 10 lessons.

That's fine.

Okay, I'll just take down some details from you then.

Could you give me your name, please?

Sure.

It's Gabriel Tyler.

And could I have a contact number, please?

Yes, certainly.

It's 0796-664-4986.

Thank you.

See you on the 22nd then.

Great.

Thanks.

Bye.

Bye.

So, what seems to be the problem?

We wanted to talk to you about our new shared project.

The client keeps asking for changes, and they're even expecting the project to be finalized earlier than planned.

So, there is too much work and too little time.

That's the problem.

Then I suggest longer working hours.

I'm afraid the staff will get very tired.

They are already complaining that we're demanding a lot of them.

There is a world of difference between expecting people to work 12 hours a day and asking them to occasionally work 10 hours.

This is a very important client, so we must make sure to keep them satisfied.

I'm in two minds as to whether it'd work or not.

Well, do you have a better solution?

What if we hire some new people to help us with this project?

I'm afraid there's no time for this.

You know that hiring new people takes time.

Then we should pay people for the extra hours.

This will keep them motivated.

Okay.

It seems I have no choice.

I'll pay for the extra hours, and I'll also try to talk the client into leaving the deadline unchanged.

Perfect.

We appreciate it.

Did you enjoy everything?

Yes, it was delicious.

Please send my compliments to the chef.

Outstanding work!

Yes, of course.

I will.

You saved room for dessert, right?

Yes, certainly.

What will you have?

A piece of key lime pie, please.

And a piece of cheesecake with raspberry swirl for me, please.

Okay.

Can I take your plates?

Yes, you can take them.

We're finished.

And would it be possible for you to pack the rest of our meal to take it home?

Sure.

No problem.

I'll be back with your boxes and desserts in a few minutes.

How do you feel now?

A lot better.

I'm still taking medication, but I'm on the mend.

I'll be discharged from the hospital in two days.

Wow!

That's great news.

And when will you be able to attend classes again?
