M: Jane, do you have a map of Manchester? I want to find a good place to eat.

W: Why not try Chinatown? There are plenty of good Chinese restaurants there, and it’s near here.

M: Let’s do something different for vacation this year. Oh, let’s go to Colorado. I want to learn to snowboard.

W: Oh, Paul. You know I don’t like cold weather. Can’t we go someplace warm, like the beach?

W: This job is for three days a week: Monday, Friday, and Saturday. Are you Okay with that?

M: Mmm…I was hoping to have Saturday free. But I need the job, so…can you tell me what exactly I will do?

M: Do you know if John’s coming home for dinner?

W: He’ll be late. He said not to wait for him.

W: I’m really tired from packing all these boxes for three hours. It’s about time to call it a day. 

M: I know. Maybe we could do it first thing tomorrow morning.

W: Why not? These orders are not urgent. 

M: Lisa? Hi!

W: Hi, Ned.

M: Don’t you usually drive to work?

W: Usually, but not in bad weather.

M: Why is that?

W: The traffic gets a lot worse when it rains or snows.

M: I always take the train. It’s a lot faster for me than driving.

W: It’s faster for me, too, but the time isn’t always convenient.

M: Yeah, but think of all the things you can do on the train — read a book or the newspaper…

W: Or answer my email…No thanks! My workday is long enough already.

W: I think the car we saw yesterday would be a good deal. What do you think?

M: Yes, but I think you should ask someone to take a look at it just to be sure. 

W: My friend Jack knows cars, and he helped me do the check this morning. 

M: It was smart of you to think ahead. Have you and the salesman agreed on a price?

W: Yes, he finally agreed to accept the discounted price I asked. 

M: Then have you thought about how to pay?

W: Well, I’ve saved up enough money to pay cash for this car. 

M: Good. Let me go with you to make the payment and drive the car home for you.

W: Thank you. That would make it much easier for me. 

M: You’re welcome. Let’s go take care of that right now.

M: Being away from home for college can be stressful. Besides all the pressures of study, there’s the pressure on your pocket. Today, let’s go to a university to find out. Excuse me. Can I ask you a few questions?

W: Well, Okay.

M: How do you find the cost of living in this city?

W: Everything is expensive, including clothing, housing, and traveling.

M: So, what do you spend most on?

W: Transport, I think. For food, if I cook myself, it’s not expensive at all. For clothing, I bring my clothes here from my home country, where they’re nice and cheap. But every week, I have to spend more than 100 pounds on the trains. 

M: Then what’s the social life like?

W: I’m a very social person. I love hanging out with my friends and meeting new people. Thankfully, I don’t drink nor smoke, so the only expense is maybe tickets to the cinemas, clubs, and so on.

W: Can you fix a time for the next meeting, Alex? How about June 12th? That’s after the trade exhibition…

M: I thought something was happening on that day, Rebecca.

W: Oh, yes. You’re right. The people from Head Office are coming.

M: What time does their plane arrive? Can we have the meeting in the morning?

W: No, it’s all arranged. I’m meeting them at half past ten, so I won’t be available at all that day.

M: Well, let’s have the meeting earlier in June, then. The trade exhibition finishes on the third, doesn’t it?

W: Yes, but we need John’s sales report for the meeting. How’s it going?

M: I’m afraid John hasn’t started yet. The figures won’t be in place till next week.

W: Will it be ready early in June?

M: Well, not really. He told me that he will finish them by June 10th.

W: So, we’re looking at the week starting the 17th. How about two o’clock on that day?

M: I think that’s Okay. Let’s meet here again then.

W: Hello, everyone. In today’s program, I’d like to share a true story of mine. One day, my friends and I had just finished lunch at a hotel when it started to rain heavily. When it became lighter, I decided to brave the rain to get my car and go home. It was parked three blocks away. My friends argued I shouldn’t go because at that time, I was due to give birth in three months. I promised I’d be very careful. One of them wanted to come with me, but I insisted she stay with another friend who needed help with her baby. When I walked to the first crossroads, a taxi stopped and a passenger came out with an umbrella. Before I knew what was happening, he walked right beside me and told me he would walk with me to where I would go. I refused, but he insisted. During our walk, he kept telling me to walk slowly. When we got to the car park, I thanked him, and we parted ways. I did not get his name and may not even recognize him now. Did he purposely stop for me? I’ll never know.
