1 ANNE:Debbie!
DEBBIE:Right here.
ANNE:Oh!Where is my laptop?
There was a laptop computer on my desk this morning and it isn't here now.
2 ANNE:And the phone.I also had a mobile phone.
Where is it?Things just walk out of this office and it has got to stop.
3 ANNE:I know I put the Hong Kong files right here,on top of this cabinet.
Where are they now?Vanished.My new business cards.
My new Cantonese phrasebook.Who on earth borrowed a Cantonese phrasebook?
4 ANNE:This was not here a minute ago.
DEBBIE:I found the laptiop.
ANNE:Where was it? DEBBIE:Next to the mobile phone,under the Hong Kong files.
With your business cards.
5 SIMON:Ane,I borrowed your Cantonese phrasebook.
Really interesting.Thank.
1 MING YI:How are you feeling?
ANNE:Great.Never better.
WENJIAN:Aren't you suffering from jet lag?
ANNE:Oh no.Besides,the afternoon meeting only lasted...What?...four hours?
2 MING YI:Yes,but we have another one early tomorrow morning.
WEN JIAN:It will last all day.We won't finish till six o'clock.
ANNE:Hm.
3 MING YI:Are you worried about getting tired?
ANNE:No.I eanted to do some shopping tomorrow.
How late is Sogo open?
MING YI:Quite late.But don't forget,there is a banquet for you tomorrow night.
4 ANNE:Ah.How long does that last?
MING YI:They can take hours.
I'm afraid you won't be back at your hotel at least until midnight.
WEN JIAN:Maybe later.
5 ANNE:Oh well.Wait...Sogo's is open tonight,isn't it?
MING YI:Yes.
ANNE:Well,can we go now?
MING YI:Of course.The tram will take about thirty minutes.
WEN JIAN:A taxi will be faster.
ANNE:Let's walk.It's a beautiful evening.
WEN JIAN:I am amazed you're still going!
1 ANNE:So,the Cantonese phrasebook came in handy.
NINA:So what was the weather like this time of year?
GEORGE:Hong Kong was better than here,I hope.
ANNE:Why?Did it rain?
GEORGE:Wet and miserable.
2 ANNE:Too bad.Hong Kong was hot.
I loved it.Some days it reached 85'.
GEORGE:Whew!Too hot for me.
NU LA:It's not the heat.It's the humidity.
NINA:Hot and humid?Yuck.
ANNE:Oh,everything's air-conditioned,anyway.
3 ANNE:One day,I went by boat to Macau,
and there was a fantastic thunderstorm on the water.
GEORGE:Where's Macau?
NINA:George,we have to get you a map.
ANNE:Ah,it's just east of Hong Kong.
NU LA:West. ANNE:Hm?
NU LA:Macau is west of Hong Kong.
ANNE:That's right.My map was backwards.
GEORGE:Well,it is on the other side of the world.
