W: I’m going on a business trip to New York. What’s the weather like there?

W: What happened? I’ve been waiting for almost an hour.

M: I’m sorry, but I had car trouble.

W: Oh, that’s too bad. Couldn’t you have telephoned?

M: I was going to, but I didn’t have any change for a pay phone.

W: You could’ve gotten some change in a store.

M: But I was out on the edge of town. There wasn’t any place to get change.

W: Well, at least you’re here now. No need to wait any longer. So, let’s get started.

W: Let’s see. That’s two pairs of trousers, one lady’s dress and one man’s overcoat.

M: And this sports shirt too, all cleaned and ironed. When will they be ready?

W: Is Sunday morning soon enough?

M: Well, yes, but I need that coat earlier.

W: We do have a special quick service at an extra charge of 15%.

M: When will it be ready?

W: Tomorrow afternoon. Any time after four o’clock.

M: How late are you open?

W: Until 9 o’clock in the evening, sir.

W: OK. You can come for the coat any time after 4 o’clock.

M: Good. Thank you.

M: What do you like most about your new job?

W: Well, I get better paid and the distance between work and home is shorter. But the best part is that they have training programs to improve our work skills. And they run partly on company time, usually from four to six on Wednesdays and Fridays.

M: That sounds great. I wish my company did that.

W: It really is a good thing. And even though the company has to pay for the training, it’s worth it in the long run. Because with a greater understanding of the computer programs I use every day, I do my daily tasks more quickly and effectively.

M: Hey, Jessica, there is a new fun test in the paper. I love to fill these things out.

W: What’s this one about?

M: It’s about health.

W: OK. Read it to me. I’ll keep score.

M: OK. No. 1: Do you smoke more than ten cigarettes a day?

W: That’s easy. I gave up smoking three years ago.

M: Right. You know, I should too.

W: Yeah, I’ve heard that before.

M: No, No, really. I’m going to. But for now I’d have to say, yes. OK. No. 2: Do you have a check-up at your doctor’s office at least once a year?

W: Yeah, the company makes us go to the doctor every year. How about you?

M: Well, I went to the doct or… let’s see… about three years ago.

W: You should go more often.

M: Well, let’s move on to No. 7: Do you work more than ten hours a day?

W: No, but you’ve been working a lot lately.

M: I’m really tired. I should work a lot less. But we’ve been busy thoug h.

W: You really should slow down.

M: It’s not that easy. Last question: Do you worry a lot in your life?

W: Worry a lot? Yeah. I guess I’d have to say yes. I should rest more.

M: I definitely should rest more. You know what? It’s surprising I’m not dead a lready.

M: Well, I guess there are three things that I cannot live without. You saw me playing with my new toy just now. It’s my iPod touch and it is great. I often take long bus journeys at the weekend. And on this little thing I can watch a movie, and that just makes bus journeys fly by. It also has wireless Internet so I can carry it around, and in a coffee shop I can check my email. And it is also able to play music, although I don’t listen to music much. That’s one. My iPod touch is with me

all the time. It’s kind of connected to my No. 2. No. 2 is the Internet. I couldn’t live without the Internet. I’m online every day reading newspapers, checking out information about things I want to do or see that day, keeping in touch with family and friend s, although I don’t do that as much as they would like. The Internet is such a huge part of my life. I can’t imagine what it was like ten or fifteen years ago when nobody was online. No. 3, I suppose, is the sun which sounds a bit meaningless because every thing on earth requires the sun. But for me, it’s not so much about getting what plants and animals get from the sun. It’s just being able to enjoy the soft warmth, lying by the pool, letting my mind be empty and clear. Those are my three. How about you?
