M:Well, shes got a beautiful face and long curly red hair. J:How tall is she? M:Shes fairly tall, maybe 2 inches taller than me. J:Is she chubby? M:Not at all. Shes actually very athletic. J:It sounds like shes pretty good-looking. Does she wear glasses? M:No, but she does wear contact lenses. J:Hows her skin? M:Shes got a gorgeous complexion with a few freckles on her nose. J:Does she have any piercings or tattoos? M:I think she has her ears pierced and she definitely has a few tattoos: one on her lower back, one on her left foot. J:Whats the tattoo on her foot like? M:Its a butterfly- everyone in her family has one. J:Even her mom? M:Yes, even her mom. J:Whats her personality like? M:Shes a lot like me. J:So there is something wrong with her! It was beginning to sound like she was too good to be true! Dialogue 2 J:Did you see the picture of the guy on the front page of the newspaper this morning? M:No. I havent had a chance to read the paper yet. J:youve got to see it. Its an unbelievable picture! M:Whats so interesting about it? J:Well, this guy fell asleep on the sofa and when he woke up, half his face had been bitten off! M:What? How did that happen? J:They think his dog was trying to wake him up and couldnt, so ended up biting him in his face. M:Wow. What does his look like now? J:It looks pretty frightening. He doesnt have any lips, so all you can see are his gums and teeth. Most of his nose and chin are missing too. M:What did he look like before his dog bit his face off? J:He was actually quite handsome. What a shame. M:Whats he going to do now? J:It said that hes hoping to get a face transplant, but until then, hes looking forward to Halloween so he isnt the only one wearing a mask. 003 Get in personal Dialogue 1 A: Are you alright, Ethan? You dont seem to be as cheerful as you normally are. E: To be honest, Ava, Ive just had a really bad day. A: What happened? E: First, I slept through my alarm and ended up two hours late to work. A: What did your boss say? E: He told me that if I showed up late one more, hed fire me. Hes so mean! A: Thats horribel. Was that the first time youd shown up late to work? E: That was my second time. The first time, I was in a car accident. A: Is your boss Chinese? E: No, hes from Australia. Before I met him, I thought Australians were supposed to be relaxed and easy-going. I had no idea hed be so fussy about things. A: What are you going to do? E: I thind Im going to look for another job. I need to find a boss that is a bit more sensitive and optimistic than my current boss. A: That sounds like a sensible plan. Do you want me to help you with your job search? E: Thats very generous of you. Thanks for the offer. A: Dont mention it. Thats what friends are for! Dialogue 2 E: I dont know what to do about the people who live in the flat above me! A: Why? What are they like? E: Theyre incredibly selfish. They re always up until the wee hours of the night playing their music so loudly that I have to wear earplugs in order to fall asleep! A: Have you ever talked to them about it? E: I tried to introduce myself to them when they moved in, but they were so arrogant that I didint want to ever talk to them again! A: What did they say? E: They both just talk about how great they are all the time. A: They soud like the neighbours from hell! E: They are! Besides being loud and arrogant, theyre also terrible gossips. Theyre always talking about everybody else in the apartment. A: I thought you didnt talk to them much. E: I dont, but they talk so loudly that I can hear what theyre talking about from my bedroom - and its not very nice. A: What do the other poeple in your apartment think about them? E: Most of my other neighbours are scared of them. A: Maybe you should think about moving. E: I cant afford to move right now. A: Well, perhaps you should have a party and try to get to know them better. Maybe once you get to know them, theyll turn out to be more sensitive. E: I think youre being a bit optimistic. If you met them, youd understand. A: Well, I dont know what else you could do then. Do you think bribing them with chocolate would work? 004 Every part of your body can speak Dialogue 1 E: I dont know about you, but Im famished. Are you interested in getting a bite to eat? R: That sounds great. Im absolutely starving! What kind of food are you in the mood for? E: Id love something spicy. Maybe we could get some Sichuan Hotpot. R: Youre a woman after my own heart. I dont know many people who can handle spicy food. Are you sure you are up for hotpot. E: Sure. If I could, I would eat hotpot every day! R: Ok, youre really all eyes when it comes to talking about food, arent you? E: Well, lets stop dragging our feet and find a Sichuan Hotpot restaurant for dinner! R: Let me think about it for a minute. Lets see... oh the name of the restaurant is on the tip of my tongue! Give me a second and itll come to me. E: Well...? Have you thought of it yet? R: No... E: Never mind. Theres an authentic tasting hotpot restaurant not far from the China World Trade Towers on Chang An Street. Have you been there? R: Thats it! Thats the one I was thinking of! I told you Id remember it! E: You really have a bid head, dont you! Dialogue 2 R: So, Emily, how was your day? E: I dont think you really want to hear about it. R: It cant have been that bad. Go on and tell me about it. E: To be honest, it was horrible! My manager is such a pain in the neck! R: Why? What happened? E: Well, he made quite a few mistakes on the monthly report and when his supervisor found them, my manager blamed them on me! R: Thats not very fair. What did you do? E: There wasnt really anything that I could do. Theres always been a lot of bad blood between my manager and myself. If I had said anything, he would have fired for me for sure. R: Does he treat everyone in your department like this? E: He treats everyone pretty poorly, but the way he treats me really takes the cake! R: Do you have any idea why he treats you worse than the others? E: I really have no idea. All I know is that the thought of him really curls my hair! R: Is there anyone else you can talk to about it at you company? E: Not really. Im hoping to live with it for a while until I get a promotion. R: Thats very sensible. It sounds like you have a good head on you shoulders. E: I try to be sensible about it, but its not very easy. Sometimes you just have to grin and bear it. R: Thats so true. When you have a taste for success, you cant let dishonest people like your manager get in the way. 005 mind your posture Dialogue 1 I(Isalella) M(Matthew) I: Matthew, do you know much about body language in countries around the world? M: Sure. Ive picked up a few things from travelling around for work. why? I: Well, I had a meeting today with a woman from Japan and she wouldnt stop bowing! I didnt know what to do! M: Did you bow back? I: No, I tried to shake her hand, but her hand was so limp I was a bit offended. M: Well, Japanese businessmen and women typically bow to greet each other in Japan. She might have been offended by your strong handshake. I: But she was in America! Shouldnt she have known that strong handshakes in america signigy confidence and respect? M: Things are different in Japan. You know, in some countries, making eye contact with others is considered rude. I: Is that why she wouldnt look at me in the meeting? M: I think its highly possible, yes. I: The meeting really didnt go douwn well at all. I think I need to read up about intercultural communication before I have another meeting with someone from another country. M: Thats a good idea. When you dont know much about other cultures, the simplest thing can offend someone. I: Thats so true. Its great that we see eye to eye on this. Dialogue 2 M: Well, what did you think about the last candidate? Do you think we should hire her? I: She had a very impressive resume, but she seemed to lack the confidence that I think a good manager needs. M: What made you think that she wasnt very confident? I: Did you notice the way that she avoided making eye contact with us while she talked? M: She was a bit nervous, I guess. What else? I: When she first walked into the room to greet us, she didnt shake our hands or introduce herself at all. I thought that was a bit unprofessional. M: youre right. If she walked into meetings with our clients like that, it would make our company look bad, wouldnt it? I: It sure would. Did you alse notice the way she slouched in her chair druing most of the intervies? She had horrible posture! M: I agree. I guess I was paying more attention to her answers than her body language. I: On top fo all of that, she didnt seem to have any sense about peoples personal space. she didnt keep enough distance between us when during the meeting. M: Thats true. I guess well have to keep looking for a manager then. 006 Blood is thicker than water Dialogue 1 K(kaitlyn) J(Jack) K: How many people are there in your family? J: My immediate family is quite samll. Its just my older step-brother, my mom, my step-dad and me. How about you? K: I have a large family. I have three older sisters, my twin sister, a younger brother, and my parents. J: I didnt know you were a twin! Are you identical or fraternal? K: Were identical. I mean, we look exactly the same, but we complete opposites when it comes to everything else! J: Interesting. It must be great having a twin sister. Are you best friends, too? K: We used to be really close, but that all changed once she moved to Shanghai. How about your family? You didnt mention to your biological father. J: I dont know much about him. He died when I was just a baby. Even though I dont have a blood relationship with my step-father and step-brother, I consider them to be my real family. K: What about your step-brothers mother? Does he keep in touch with her? J: No, she also died when my step-brother was little. My mother and my step-father met each other shortly after my father died and became good friends. They ended up getting married a few years later. K: Sounds like it was ment to be. Dialogue 2 J: Have you ever thought about having children, Kaitlyn? K: My husband and I have thought about it, but weve decided not to have any. Theyre just too expensive. Besides, with all the news about global warming on the news lately, who knows what
