研究生英语听说教程（引进版）听力原文Take on Listening:Listening and Speaking StrategiesLesson 1Exercise 1Student: Excuse me.Counselor: Yes?Student: Do I need to make an appointment to register for an ESL class?Counselor: No, but you first have to take a placement test.Student: A test?Counselor: We need to find out what your ESL level is.Student: Oh, Okay. Where do I go to take the test?Counselor: We will be giving the test tomorrow at 3 o‟clock in room 303. Can you come then?Student: Yes.Counselor: Good. Now, let me give you some forms to fill out so we can begin the registration process. Please write your name and address here, and your ID number here. Student: Okay. What do I write under teacher and section?Counselor: You can leave those blank. We‟ll fill it i n tomorrow.Exercise 2Student A: I didn‟t really understand what Ms. Smith was saying about the id, the superego and the ego.Student B: Oh, that‟s easy. Look here on page 53. The id is the part of our personality that wants instant gratification. The ego tries to help the id get what it wants, but in a logical and practical way. The superego is like the personality‟s police force. It monitors the id and the ego.Student A: Oh, I think I‟m getting it. You mean the id, ego and superego are all part of our personality?Student B: Right. They are all interacting.Student A: Do you think we‟ll need to give definitions?Student B: I don‟t know. We may just have to match the names with the definitions. But we‟d better study this some more just to be safe.A: I ca n‟t believe it‟s closed. I‟ve got a class from 7 o‟clock to 10 o‟clock. What am I going to do?B: Well, there are some food machines in the Student Union. You could always go there. A: No way! I tried that once last semester and I got as sick as a dog. The re‟s got to be something better.B: Well, we can go down to Main Street. There are a couple of places that I‟m sure are open.A: We‟d never make it back in time. It‟s already 6:40. I think I‟ll pass out if I don‟t get something. I came here right from work. I didn‟t have time to stop by my apartment.B: I think there‟s a stand in front of Smith Hall. You can at least get something warm there. A: Well, I guess we don‟t have any other choice.B: Yeah, it‟s either the canteen or three hours of listening to you r stomach growl. Teacher: Good evening class. Before we begin tonight‟s lesson. I want to remind you about next Thursday‟s midterm. Remember to review chapters one through eight in thebook. You will be responsible for knowing all of the information in the chapters plus all of the other topics we have discussed in class. This test will include multiple choice,True/False, and essay questions. You will not be able to use any books, notes or dictionaries.Now, last week, I spoke about the importance of using note cards and visual aids to prepare your speeches. Tonight I‟m going to talk about specific things that will help you with your speech delivery. Please take careful notes so you can use those techniques to improve your speech delivery.The first and perhaps the most important element of good speech delivery is eye contact. It is extremely important, especially in the English-speaking world, to make eye contact with your entire audience. This may be very difficult for you if you come from a culture where making direct eye contact is a sign of disrespect. But, you really need to practice this skill until you are comfortable looking directly at all of your audience members when you are speaking to them. Please note that you need to look at the entire audience. Please don‟t direct your attention to just one person or one side of the room, and really be sure not to stare into the eyes of anyone for too long of a period.Next, you need to make sure that when you talk to your audience, you are enthusiastic about your topic and excited to share it with your audience. Vitality is a way of maintaining the audience‟s attention and indicating to them that you firmly believe in what you are saying. Volume, intonation, facial expressions, and gestures all add to the vitality of your speech. Think abut a speaker you really liked. Did he or she just stand there and read words from a piece of paper? No, of course not. Probably the speaker was full of life and his or her energy forced you into becoming involved in caring about the topic of the speech.4.Dr. Stevens: Ted, can I speak to you a minute?Ted: Yes, Doctor Stevens?Dr. Stevens: I finished reading your essay and before I return it to you, I was hoping you might be able to come in and speak with me about it.Ted: Oh, uh, okay, sure.\Dr. Stevens: Can you come during my office hours?Ted: I think so. When are they again?Dr. Stevens: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 o‟clock until 4:30.Ted: That‟s no problem Oh, wait a minute, I have football practice every day from 2 o‟cloc k until 5 o‟clock.Dr. Stevens: Hmm. Well, how about if we get together tomorrow right before class?Ted: Sure.5. You have reached the Student Union Activity Hotline.

I really wanted the new David Sedaris book. The professor in my contemporary lit class prais ed it all last semester. The bookstore hasn‟t been able to get a single copy for the last month. Oh, well. Maybe I can find a copy on .2. I used the new computer registration system to charge my tuition on my credit card, and they totally messed it up. They were supposed to charge me $500 for the two art classes, and instead, it says that I‟m enrolled in three history classes to the tune of $900. This is ridiculous!3. Today is my graduation day. I am done! Now, I can finally spend my weekends doing something other than cramming for exams and writing term papers. Yippee!4. This schedule is baffling. It says that English 90 is offered at both the midtown and downtown campuses, but the times are vague. Look here; does this nine mean AM or PM? Hmm, I‟m stumped.5. Oh yeah. I absolutely recommend professor Ponz. She‟s a real dilly, let me tell you. If you enjoy writing endless term papers on meaningless subjects, participating in class activities that have zero relevance to the top ic of the course, she‟s the teacher for you! sarcastic研究生英语听说教程（引进版）听力原文Lesson 2Denise: Excuse me, miss, how much does it cost to ride BART?Stranger: Well, that depends on your destination.

Do you know what the fare is?Stranger: There are two stations in Berkeley. Which one are you interested in?Denise: Oh, gee, I‟m not sure. We‟re from out of town. We‟re visiting my sister. She told me her house is just a stone‟s throw from th e UC Berkeley campus. Which station is that? Stranger: The downtown Berkeley station is really close to the university. I‟m sure that‟s the one you want.Denise: Tom, are you going to remember this, or should I be jotting this down?Tom: What is there to write down, Denise? The woman is giving us very simple directions. So, how much is the fare to downtown Berkeley?Stranger: Let‟s go take a look at the map over there. You see, the map shows you how much it costs to go from one station to another. Ah, there it is: two dollars and sixty-five cents.Tom: Two sixty-five? That‟s highway robbery for such a short distance!Denise: You think that‟s expensive? Tom from our house to Amherst it costs twice as much as that.Tom: Yeah, but that‟s an hour ride. You really get your money‟s worth.Stranger: Yeah…Uh…Well, did your sister explain which train to take?Tom: Berkeley. WE take the Berkeley train to Berkeley, right?Stranger: Well, no actually. That‟s just one stop on the Richmond line. Here, let me show you on th is map.

Look here, take the Pittsburg line to the 12th Street Station in Oakland, and then transfer to the Richmond train. The Richmond train will stop in Berkeley. Get off at the downtown station. From there you can walk to your sister‟s house.Denise: We want to be there by 9 o‟clock. If we have to transfer, we might be late. Do y ou think we‟ll make it in time?Stranger: It doesn‟t take that long. Let‟s see; there‟s a train from here at 8:18. It arrives at the 12th Street Oakland station at 8:34. You can get a Richmond train right away at 8:34, and you‟ll arrive in Berkeley at 8:46.Tom: Let‟s see if I‟ve go t this right: We take the 8:18 Pittsburg train and arrive in Oakland at 8:34. Then we take the 8:34 Richmond train to Berkeley. That should be a snap. Stranger: Yeah, you‟ll have no trouble.Tom: Thank you very much for your hel p, Miss. You‟re a very kind young lady.Denise: And so pretty and smart, too! Tell me dear, I notice you‟re not wearing a ring. Stranger: Well, no, uh…Denise; You know, my sister‟s son is very handsome. I think you two would like each other…Stranger: Uh, well; oh! I think I hear your train coming! You‟d better hurry so you don‟t miss it!Part ThreeExercise 3AThe BART system is a modern metro that links thirty-nine stations throughout Northern California‟s San Francisco Bay Area.

Boy, do I need coffee. I was up till 2:30 last night for the second night in a row.Ruth: More trouble with the lovebirds?David: Yeah, good ole Michael and Betty were at it again all night.Ruth: Were they breaking dishes again?David: No, I don‟t think they have any dishes left after the last fight. They were yelling about his old girlfriend.Ruth: Haven‟t you spoken to them/ I mean, don‟t they know they‟re keeping you up all night?David: I think when they‟re fighting, they don‟t care about anything else. I banged on the ceiling with a broom for about five minutes and they kept yelling.Ruth: They sound like very selfish people.David: You‟ve got that right, Ruth.Ruth: Why don‟t you just call the landlord?David: He doesn‟t care if I‟m unhappy. He wants me to move! I‟ve lived in the building the longest, and with rent control, I pay half as much as they do. If I move, he can jack up the price.Ruth: What about the other neighbors? Can‟t you all get together and complain?David: Are you kidding? I have had problems with everybody in that building! Rob and Steve, the people who live next door to Michael and Betty, crank-up the volume of their stereo at all hours of the night.Ruth: That‟s terrible.David: yeah, those two guys are so busy throwing parties that they probably never even hear the fighting.Ruth: Well, there has to be someone in your building who you like.David: There is Mrs. Anderson, the woman who lives below me. She‟s 87 years old, as sweet as can be with a heart of gold. Unfortunately, she‟s a little deaf and I‟m sure she never hears any of the noise in the building. Actually, as much a s I like her, she‟s also a problem.Ruth: How so?David: Her niece phones from out of state every Sunday morning at 6:30 to check on her. The trouble is because she‟s deaf, she screams into the phone, and it wakes me up. Ruth: Every Sunday?David: Yes, and the sound of her voice goes right up through the floor “Hello? Yes, dear. It‟s so good to hear your voice.” She‟s more reliable than an alarm clock!Ruth: Wow, that sounds like a real nightmare!David: It‟s not her fault, poor old thing. She‟s just very old and her health isn‟t good. Ruth: I‟m pretty lucky. The biggest problem I have is the garbage collectors waking me up at 5:30 in the morning three times a week when they empty the cans. But, I can usually fall asleep again after they leave.David: At least your neighbors put their garbage into the cans! Art, the guy who lives next door to Mrs. Anderson, is sometimes such a pig. He ever seems to throw away his garbage. Whenever I walk by his door I have to hold my nose.Ruth: Maybe you just need to start looking for a new place to live.David: And give up my book?Ruth: Book? What book?David: I told you about my book, didn‟t I? I‟m writing a book about a guy who lives in an apartment building with a bunch of crazy people. I hope it‟ll be a big Hollywood mo vie someday.Ruth: That sounds fantastic, but can‟t you write the book in a nice quiet apartment in another building?David: No way! Every week I get a new idea for a chapter from somebody in the building. If I move now, I‟ll never be able to finish the bo ok!Exercise 4 Vocabulary in ContextNarrator: 1.

Husband: Honey, I think it‟s time we redid this room.Wife: Gee, I kind of like it the way it is.Husband: Oh, come on. Look at this floor—it‟s totally scratched. It needs to be refinished or carpeted.Wife: Yeah, and while we‟re at it, we might as well paint the wall around the fireplace. There are smoke stains all over it from last year‟s Christmas party.Husband: Now y ou‟re talking! Why don‟t we wallpaper the other three walls in here too? Then if we get some new drapes and maybe a couple of lamps—Wife: Wait a second. This is getting out of hand. Why don‟t we just move the armchair over to cover the scratched floor and save ourselves a lot of money and trouble.2. Painter: Good morning. I‟m from Daniel‟s Paint-O-Rama.Woman: Oh, good. Com on in. Would you like some coffee?Painter: Maybe later. Now, have you decided on the color?Woman: I was thinking white might be nice.Painter: I wouldn‟t have white in this room. It would get dirty pretty quickly.Woman: Couldn‟t we use enamel paint? It‟s easy to clean, right?Painter: But it smells horrible and takes a long time to dry. You wont‟ be able to use this room until tomorrow.Woman: Oh, my. Well, I guess we could go to a restaurant…Painter: Why don‟t you choose a color that goes with your linoleum? I could nix up a shade of latex semi-gloss that matches this blue.Woman: What about the latex semi-gloss in white? Couldn‟t I wash that down if it got dirty?Painter: Yes, you could, but you‟ll still have to do it more often than if you choose another color. And if you clean it too often, the finish will start to rub off.Woman: Maybe we‟d better stick with the enamel then.3. Tenant: Look at the ceiling; it‟s cracked and peeling over here; there‟s a big water stain on the wall in the corner, and—Landlord: Okay, why don‟t you get some paint and fix it up and I‟ll pay for it.Tenant: I don‟t think that‟s going to fix the problem. It‟s happened before and I don‟t feel like wasting my time and energy covering up problem that‟s just going to happen again. Landlord: Well, I‟m not sure what else you want me to do. I said I‟d pay to fix it.Tenant; I want you to find out what‟s cau sing this!Landlord: Well, I‟ll talk to Steven upstairs and warn him to be more careful in the future. Tenant: I don‟t think Steven is the problem. The last time this happened he wasn‟t even home. Besides, he‟s always been a considerate neighbor.Landlord: Maybe you steam up the room yourself. That can cause a lot of chipping and peeling. A small room like this full of steam can do a lot of damage.Tenant: Look, don‟t try to turn this around on me. I always leave the window and door open so it doesn‟t steam up. Either you send someone over to repair this, or else I‟ll get somebody and deduct the cost from the rent. It‟s up to you.4. Meg: Tony? Tony? Tony! Tony: Huh? What?Meg: I can‟t stand it. It‟s freezing in here. Aren‟t you cold?Tony: Well, turn the heat on.Meg: I tried. There‟s no heat coming up.Tony: What time is it?Meg: It‟s about 5:30. The heat should be on by now. This is the third time this week that we haven‟t gotten heat until after 8:00. Isn‟t th at against the law?Tony: Yeah, the heat is supposed to be on between 5 AM and 11 AM every day. What he‟s doing is illegal.Meg: I‟m going to call the Housing Authority and report him.Tony: Maybe we should talk to him first.Meg: We already complained in the note we sent with the rent check last week. I‟m tired of waiting for him to give up enough heat. If we don‟t do something right away, you‟re going to wake up next to an icicle one morning.研究生英语听说教程（引进版）听力原文Lesson 4(1)Exercise 1Mother: Christine, it‟s time to get up.

What do I write under teacher and section?Counselor: You can leave those blank. We’ll fill it in tomorrow.Exercise 2Student A: I did n’t really understand what Ms. Smith was saying about the id, the superego and the ego.Student B: Oh, that’s easy. Look here on page 53. The id is thepart of our personality that wants instant gratification. The ego tries to help the id get what it wants, but in a logical and practical way. The superego is like the personality’s police force. It monitors the id and the ego.Student A: Oh, I think I’m getting it. You mean the id, ego and superego are all part of our personality?Student B: Right. They are all interacting.Student A: Do you think we’ll need to give definitions?Student B: I don’t know. We may just have to match the names with the definitions. But we’d better study this some more just to be safe.A: I can’t believe it’s closed. I’ve got a class from 7 o’clock to 10 o’clock. What am I going to do?B: Well, there are some food machines in the Student Union. You could always go there.A: No way! I tried that once last semester and I got as sick as a dog. There’s got to be something better.B: Well, we can go down to Main Street. There are a couple of places that I’m sure are open.A: We’d never make it back in time. It’s already 6:40. I think I’ll pass out if I don’t get something. I came here right from work. I didn’t have time to stop by my apartme nt.B: I think there’s a stand in front of Smith Hall. You can at least get something warm there.A: Well, I guess we don’t have any other choice.B: Yeah, it’s either the canteen or three hours of listening toyour stomach growl.Teacher: Good evening clas s. Before we begin tonight’s lesson. I want to remind you about next Thursday’s midterm. Remember to review chapters one through eight in the book. You will be responsible for knowing all of the information in the chapters plus all of the other topics we have discussed in class. This test will include multiple choice, True/False, and essay questions. You will not be able to use any books, notes or dictionaries.Now, last week, I spoke about the importance of using note cards and visual aids to prepare your speeches. Tonight I’m going to talk about specific things that will help you with your speech delivery. Please take careful notes so you can use those techniques to improve your speech delivery.The first and perhaps the most important element of good speech delivery is eye contact. It is extremely important, especially in the English-speaking world, to make eye contact with your entire audience. This may be very difficult for you if you come from a culture where making direct eye contact is a sign of disrespect. But, you really need to practice this skill until you are comfortable looking directly at all of your audience members when you are speaking to them. Please note that you need to look at the entire audience. Please don’t direct your attention to just one person or one side of the room, and really be sure not to stare into the eyes of anyone for too long of a period.Next, you need to make sure that when you talk to your audience, you are enthusiastic about your topic and excited to share it with youraudience. Vitality is a way of maintaining the audience’s attention and indicating to them that you firmly believe in what you are saying. Volume, intonation, facial expression_rs, and gestures all add to the vitality of your speech. Think abut a speaker you really liked. Did heor she just stand there and read words from a piece of paper? No, of course not. Probably the speaker was full of life and his or her energy forced you into becoming involved in caring about the topic of the speech.4.Dr. Stevens: Ted, can I speak to you a minute?Ted: Yes, Doctor Stevens?Dr. Stevens: I finished reading your essay and before I return it to you, I was hoping you might be able to come in and speak with me about it.Ted: Oh, uh, okay, sure.\Dr. Stevens: Can you come during my office hours?Ted: I think so. When are they again?Dr. Stevens: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 o’clock until 4:30.Ted: That’s no problem Oh, wait a minute, I have football practice every day from 2 o’clock until 5 o’clock.Dr. Stevens: Hmm. Well, how about if we get together tomorrow right before class?Ted: Sure.5. You have reached the Student Union Activity Hotline.

I used the new computer registration system to charge my tuition on my credit card, and they totally messed it up. They were supposed to charge me $500 for the two art classes, and instead, it says that I’m enrolled in three history classes to the tune of $900. This is ridiculous!3. Today is my graduation day. I am done! Now, I can finally spend my weekends doing something other than cramming for exams and writing term papers. Yippee!4. This schedule is baffling. It says that English 90 is offered at both the midtown and downtown campuses, but the times are vague. Look here; does this nine mean AM or PM? Hmm,I’m stumped.5. Oh yeah. I absolutely recommend professor Ponz. She’s a real dilly, let me tell you. If you enjoy writing endless term papers on meaningless subjects, participating in class activities that have zero relevance to the topic of the course, she’s the teacher for you!sarcasticLesson 2Denise: Excuse me, miss, how much does it cost to ride BART?Stranger: Well, that depends on your destination. From here to Glen Park it’s only a dollar ten, but if you go as far as Fremont, it costsa lot more.Tom: We’re going to Berkeley. Do you know what the fare is?Stranger: There are two stations in Berkeley. Which one are youinter ested in?Denise: Oh, gee, I’m not sure. We’re from out of town. We’re visiting my sister. She told me her house is just a stone’sthrow from the UC Berkeley campus. Which station is that?Stranger: The downtown Berkeley station is really close to the univer sity. I’m sure that’s the one you want.Denise: Tom, are you going to remember this, or should I be jotting this down?Tom: What is there to write down, Denise? The woman is giving us very simple directions. So, how much is the fare to downtown Berkeley?St ranger: Let’s go take a look at the map over there. You see, the map shows you how much it costs to go from one station to another. Ah, there it is: two dollars and sixty-five cents.Tom: Two sixty-five?That’s highway robbery for such a short distance!Den ise: You think that’s expensive? Tom from our house to Amherstit costs twice as much as that.Tom: Yeah, but that’s an hour ride. You really get your money’s worth.Stranger: Yeah…Uh…Well, did your sister explain which train to take?Tom: Berkeley. WE take the Berkeley train to Berkeley, right?Stranger: Well, no actually. That’s just one stop on the Richmond line. Here, let me show you on this map.

Then we take the 8:34 Richmondtrain to Berkeley. That should be a snap.Stranger: Yeah, you’ll have no trouble.Tom: Thank you very much for your help, Miss. You’re a very kind young lady.Denise: And so pretty and smart, too! Tell me dear, I notice you’re not wearin g a ring.Stranger: Well, no, uh…Denise; You know, my sister’s son is very handsome. I think you two would like each other…Stranger: Uh, well; oh! I think I hear your train coming!

Boy, do I need coffee. I was up till 2:30 last night for the second night in a row.Ruth: More trouble with the lovebirds?David: Yeah, good ole Michael and Betty were at it again all night.Ruth: Were they breaking dishes again?Davi d: No, I don’t think they have any dishes left after the last fight. They were yelling about his old girlfriend.Ruth: Haven’t you spoken to them/ I mean, don’t they know they’re keeping you up all night?David: I think when they’re fighting, they don’t ca re about anything else. I banged on the ceiling with a broom for about five minutes and they kept yelling.Ruth: They sound like very selfish people.David: You’ve got that right, Ruth.Ruth: Why don’t you just call the landlord?David: He doesn’t care if I’m unhappy. He wants me to move! I’ve lived in the building the longest, and with rent control, I pay half as much as they do. If I move, he can jack up the price.Ruth: What about the other neighbors? Can’t you all get together and complain?David: Are you kidding? I have had problems with everybody in that building! Rob and Steve, the people who live next door to Michael and Betty, crank-up the volume of their stereo at all hours of the night.Ruth: That’s terrible.David: yeah, those two guys are so busy throwing parties that they probably never even hear the fighting.Ruth: Well, there has to be someone in your building who youlike.David: There is Mrs. Anderson, the woman who lives below me. She’s 87 years old, as sweet as can be with a heart of gold. Unfortunately, she’s a little deaf and I’m sure she never hears any of the noise inthe building. Actually, as much as I like her, she’s also aproblem.Ruth: How so?David: Her niece phones from out of state every Sunday morning at 6:30 to check on her. Th e trouble is because she’s deaf, she screams into the phone, and it wakes me up.Ruth: Every Sunday?David: Yes, and the sound of her voice goes right up through the floor “Hello? Yes, dear. It’s so good to hear your voice.” She’s more reliable than an alarm clock!Ruth: Wow, that sounds like a real nightmare!David: It’s not her fault, poor old thing. She’s just very old and her health isn’t good.Ruth: I’m pretty lucky. The biggest problem I have is the garbage collectors waking me up at 5:30 in the morning three times a week when they empty the cans. But, I can usually fall asleep again after they leave.David: At least your neighbors put their garbage into the cans! Art, the guy who lives next door to Mrs. Anderson, is sometimes such a pig. He ever seems to throw away his garbage. Whenever I walk by his door I have to hold my nose.Ruth: Maybe you just need to start looking for a new place tolive.David: And give up my book?Ruth: Book? What book?David: I told you about my book, didn’t I? I’m writing a b ookabout a guy who lives in an apartment building with a bunch of crazy people. I hope it’ll be a big Hollywood movie someday.Ruth: That sounds fantastic, but can’t you write the book in a nice quiet apartment in another building?David: No way! Every week I get a new idea for a chapter from somebody in the building. If I move now, I’ll never be able to finish the book!Exercise 4 Vocabulary in ContextNarrator: 1.

Husband: Honey, I think it’s time we redid this room.Wife: Gee,I kind of like it the way it is.Husband: Oh, come on. Look at this floor—it’s totally scratched.It needs to be refinished or carpeted.Wife: Yeah, and while we’re at it, we might as well paint the wall around the fireplace. There are smoke stains all over it from last year’s Christmas party.Husband: Now you’re talking! Why don’t we wallpaper the otherthree walls in here too? Then if we get some new drapes and maybe a couple of lamps—Wife: Wait a second. T his is getting out of hand. Why don’t we just move the armchair over to cover the scratched floor and save ourselves a lot of money and trouble.2. Painter: Good morning. I’m from Daniel’s Paint-O-Rama.Woman: Oh, good. Com on in. Would you like some coffee?Painter: Maybe later. Now, have you decided on the color?Woman: I was thinking white might be nice.Painter: I wouldn’t have white in this room. It would get dirtypretty quickly.Woman: Couldn’t we use enamel paint? It’s easy to clean,right?Painter: But it smells horrible and takes a long time to dry. You wont’ be able to use this room until tomorrow.Woman: Oh, my. Well, I guess we could go to a restaurant…Painter: Why don’t you choose a color that goes with your linoleum?I could nix up a shade of latex semi-gloss that matches this blue.Woman: What about the latex semi-gloss in white? Couldn’t I wash that down if it got dirty?Painter: Yes, you could, but you’ll still have to do it more often than if you choose another color. And if you clean it too often, the finish will start to rub off.Woman: Maybe we’d better stick with the enamel then.3. Tenant: Look at the ceiling; it’s cracked and peeling over here; there’s a big water stain on the wall in the corner, and—Landlord: Okay, why don’t you get so me paint and fix it up andI’ll pay for it.Tenant: I don’t think that’s going to fix the problem. It’s happened before and I don’t feel like wasting my time and energy covering up problem that’s just going to happen again.Landlord: Well, I’m not sure wha t else you want me to do. I saidI’d pay to fix it.Tenant; I want you to find out what’s causing this!Landlord: Well, I’ll talk to Steven upstairs and warn him to be more careful in the future.Tenant: I don’t think Steven is the problem. The last time t his happened he wasn’t even home. Besides, he’s always been a considerate ndlord: Maybe you steam up the room yourself. That can cause a lot of chipping and peeling. A small room like this full of steam can do a lot of damage.Tenant: Look, don’t try to turn this around on me. I always leave the window and door open so it doesn’t steam up. Either you send someone over to repair this, or else I’ll get somebody and deduct the cost from the rent. It’s up to you.4. Meg: Tony? Tony? Tony!Tony: Huh? What?Meg: I can’t stand it.

You’re a very kind young lady.Denise: And so pretty and smart, too! Tell me dear, I notice you’re not wearing a ring. Stranger: Well, no, uh…Denise; You know, my sister’s son is very handsome.
