W: Come to the movies with us. Everybody needs to take a break every once in a while.

4.
M: Are we still going to the football game tonight?
W: Oh, sorry, I totally3 forgot about it. I’ve arranged4 to go with a friend to a new Chinese restaurant downtown5. How about joining us?

M: The left one. It’s really painful8. I can hardly hear with it.
W: Don’t go swimming for the next two days. If it doesn't get better by tomorrow, you should see the doctor.
M: I guess so. Maybe I should get something from the drugstore right now.
8-10
M: Don't be mad at me. I'm only five minutes late.
W: This is the last time I'm waiting for you. I mean it.
M: You know, I always have a good excuse. I promise you: you'll never have to wait for me again.
W: I hope so. Come on, let’s go get our tickets now. Oh, by the way, you have got your wallet with you, don’t you? I left mine at home.
11-13
W: Excuse me, ah, was my bedroom cleaned this morning?
M: Yes, Madam. All the rooms are cleaned in the morning, Madam.
W: Well, then I have a bit of a problem
M: Is your room not satisfactory9, Madam?
W: No, it’s not that. It’s just that I can't find my necklace.
M: I'm sorry, Madam. Can you tell me a little bit more about it?
W: Well this morning I left my necklace here on the table by the bed but it’s just nowhere10 to be found.
M: I will report this to the manager right away, Madam.
14-17
W: Mr. Block11, I need to take a few days off because my parents are coming over to visit.
M: But it's not really a good idea to take time off right now, you know.
W: Well, I know. But they've never been to the UK before and they don’t speak English.
M: Hmm, you know there are thousands of tourists in London who can't speak English and they manage to get around.
W: Yes, I know but they really expect me to be there. It’s culture. Chinese parents expect their children to do things like this.
M: I know, but truly12 if they care about your education, they’ll understand.
W: Well, do you think I could take maybe just two days off?
M: Ok, two days but you must catch up with all of the work and get all of the materials.
18-20
Good morning, today I'd like to talk about doing exercise and keeping fit. First let's deal with the importance13 of exercise. Many people today live a kind of lazy life, sitting in the office all day and then watching TV the whole evening. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you this way of life is bad for your health. In fact it can lead to all kinds of health problems like heart disease14, high blood pressure15 and some of the problems can result in death. Now let me talk a little about preventing illness. Probably the most important thing to bear in mind is to be active16. This does not mean that you have to go out and play sports. Of course sports are an excellent way to stay healthy but it's also important to remember that healthy activities can take many different forms like gardening17 and doing housework, for example. Now let me suggest18 some ways of doing exercise. In the first place, you should choose an activity that you enjoy and one you'll stick with and then start exercising slowly and try to increase the amount of exercise step by step. Well, that's all I have time for today, so until next time. Good-bye.
