2.A: so, terry, how have you been?
B: good, good.
A: How are things going? Did you graduate this year?
B: Me? Nah! I went to State, but after my second year, I realize that what I really want to do is take over for my mom in the restaurant.
A: Oh, that’s right. Your family owns a little restaurant. Well, I mean, it’s not so little, but…
B: So I came back home and started apprenticing as chef.
A: Really? That is so cool! You know, now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense for you. Even back in high school, you could cook up a storm. So, how is it being in the restaurant business?
B: Well, I love to cook, but, man, I have a lot to learn about running a business. I’m really glad my mom’s around to teach me.\

B: Tina. Is she the one who went to Harvard Medical School?
A: No, that was Lisa Fong. Tina went to art school.

A: No, not really, that’s my brother tom you are thinking of, you don’t remember very much from high school, do you?
B: No, I guess not! It’s been a long time!
4:A: hi, Kate, it’s me, Cindy Lohan, you remember me , don’t you?
B: Cindy, Cindy. I can’t seem to place the name. Oh, my gosh, yes! I do remember you! But…
A: But what?
B: Well, it’s just that you don’t look like the free-spirited Cindy I remember. You look so, so normal.
A: Normal? I guess you’re referring to my hair?
B: Yeah. I mean, you’re just a regular brunette now. When I knew you, you always had your hair dyed some interesting color. Blue one day, pink the next.
A: Well, I’m a lawyer now. Most judges have a thing against pink hair, so…
B: I can see your sense of humor hasn’t changed much!
Unit 2 Identity
1.Oh, my gosh. You won’t believe this.
What? What happened, Katie (Kate)?
You know that guy Brett, from the football team?
Oh, yeah, the big dumb jock. What did he do this time?
He gave me a poem.
A poem?
I mean, it’s beautiful! It’s romantic and it’s full of imagery. I just couldn’t believe it camefrom him.
You got that right. I didn’t even think he could read.
I just found out he plays two musical instruments and speaks French fluently!
Hmm, well, maybe there’s more to Brett than meets the eye.
2:
Hey, Jeff(Jeffrey), I didn’t know you took dance lessons.
What? How did you know that?
Your girlfriend showed me some pictures of your dancing.
Man, I told her not to show those to people.
Aw (used to express sympathy, disgust, or disbelief), come on (hurry, disagreement). Actually,I think it’s pretty cool. I wish there were something I felt that passionate about.
Realy, you know I love to dance, but I don’t tell my friends about it.
Dancing is a private thing for me. It’s just something I do for myself.
3：
Hey, Kayla. Can I borrow your notes from today’s math class?
Yeah, sure, just make sure to give them back to me before my band plays tonight. I need time to study.
Did you say your band?
Yeah. I’m in a band called Rock Hard. I play the drums (instrument played by beating with the hands or sticks鼓).
You’re kidding. You play the drums for a rock band? I never would’ve guessed.
Why? Cause I’m a straight A student?
Yeah, I mean you’re the one everyone comes to for math help. I just assumed you were a …
A nerd?
Well, I don’t know about that.
Don’t worry. I’m not offended (no offence----as weak as a cat (=as weak as water)). I’m a nerd. But who says nerds can’t play drums?
Unit 3 Advice
1
A: So, Amy, how many kids do you and Tom have?
B: Uh, kids, none, Not yet.
A: Not yet? Did you say ”not yet”? Hey, are you and Tom keeping score here or what? You must be,what,35 by now. Clock’s a ’tickin’. Tick-tock, tick-tock, you know?
B: Yeah, I think we’re aware of all that, but it’s kind of complicated. We’ve got our careers right now, and……
A: Complicated? You think you’re the only people who are trying to juggle careers and family?
B: No, no. I’m sure we’re not. Just, it’s kind of a personal thing
A: So, Jerry, have you thought about where you’re going to live after you graduate in June?
B: Uh, yeah. I think I’m going to move back in with my folks, save a little money, you know.
A: Your folks ?You gotta be kidding !Don’t you think it’s time to leave the nest?
B:Uh, yeah, I guess. But it’s not like it’s gonna be forever. Just until I can save up enough money to…
A:I gotta say, man, I think it’s a mistake.
B: Well, I’ve thought about it a lot, and I really think it’s the best decision for me right now.
A: But you need to go out on your own ,get your own place ,find yourself. Your parents are just going to get in the way.
B: Well, you know, I’m not the only one moving back home after college. Seems like half the people I know are doing it.
A: Excuse me ,ma’am.
B: Yes?
A: Your son’s tantrum is disturbing everyone in the store.
B:I know, I know. I’m trying to calm him down. Bobby, please be I little good boy for Mommy. I’ll give you a nice ,yummy cookie if you stop crying.
A: If you ask me, what’s your son needs is a little good old-fashioned discipline. A nice spanking will do the job! You know what they say: Spare the rod and spoil the child!
B: Listen. How I raise my son is none of your business. We don’t believe in using physical violence with our children.
A: So, Luice, do you have anyone special in your life ?
B: No. Not right now .It’s been a while since I’ve dated anybody.
A: Well, what have you doing about it? You know you can’t meet someone sitting at home on your couch on Friday nights eating chocolate ice cream. You’ve got to get yourself out there , girl!
B: Well , I don’t know. Meeting someone at a bar or club just isn’t for me.
A:I know! I’m fixing you up with a friend of mine. He’s perfect for you.
B: That’s ok, I’m not really into blind dates.
A: Don’t be ridiculous! You’re gotta love him!
B: You know, I’m not sure I really want to be dating anyone right now.
Unit 4 Family
1
My sister is a really strict vegan. It’s not for religious or health reasons. It’s just she’s just a little nuts. Ever time she comes over for I family dinner we have to make a special dish just for her .And if ,like, the forks we’ve used to serve some meat even touches her plate for a split second, she freaks out and have to get another plate. Recently, she starts this new thing where she can’t even eat any vegetables. Every time I go over to her place, the cat looks at me with these sad eyes, like,” Meat…please?”
2
My cousin Pat is a professional clown. He goes by the name Patty Cakes. He gets hired to do special events like kids’ birthday parties. The thing about Pat is that he just can’t stop being a clown even when he’s not working. He’ll show up at his friend’s house and start making balloon hats for everyone. And then there’s his pet duck, Phoebe. Pat use Phoebe in his clown act, but sometimes he doesn’t have time to take her home after work, so he just brings her along wherever he’s going. It’s just so strange to see Pat walk in somewhere with Phoebe following behind him wearing a diaper.

My Aunt Samantha collects dolls .She’s a real fanatic .Most people have hobbies, you know, like sports or music or movies ,but Aunt Samantha spends all her money on dolls. She has one room in her apartment completely devoted to Barbies. I mean, the whole room is wall-to-wall Barbies! She’s got over a thousand of them lined upon shelves from floor to ceiling. The dolls are all in perfect condition. She stores them in their boxes and never takes them out .It’s kind of scary, actually .When you walk into that room ,you just feel surrounded by them .It’s like they’re all watching you or something.
4
My brother Andrew is really into TV and movies and, um…How can I put this nicely? He can get pretty extreme about it. He’s always pretending to be a character from a movies or TV show. Now, when he was twelve or thirteen, he used to watch the TV show Star Trek all the time, and he’d go around talking exactly like Mr. Spock. Like if I’d say. ‘Andrew, get out of my room .I’m studying .You’re so irritating.” Andrew he’d say, Irritating? Ah, yes, one of your earthling emotions.” Stuff like that, a line right out of Star Trek. Now, sometimes, it’s funny. Like now he’s doing Harry Potter voices .But we worry about him a lot .I mean, does he even know who he is? He’s always acting like someone else.
