W: I don’t know what to do. I have to go to Houston next Friday for a job interview, but I have a
big test coming up that I have to prepare for.
M: Why don’t you record your notes so you can listen to them on the way?
(Text 2)
M: I heard you did some shopping last weekend.
W: Yes. I just bought a new house last month, so I went to the mall and bought a double bed, a
sofa and a dining table. By the way, are you coming to my party next week?
(Text 3)
W: It’s already half past three. Mike should have been here by three o’clock. Why is he so late?
M: There must be something wrong with your watch. It’s just ten past three. Let’s wait for him for
a while.
(Text 4)
M: Lisa, the lines are so long! I simply can’t remember them all.
W: Don’t worry. The first show won’t begin until November 10. There is still one month left.
(Text 5)
W: I heard you hurt your ankle when you were playing in the football game last Friday. How was

 it now?
M: It really hurt at first, but it’s not so painful now. I just need to stay at home and rest for a while.
(Text 6)
W: Are you listening to music, Mike?
M: Nope. I’m just listening to a news report about a Chinese tourist.
W: What did he do?
M: He saved an American’s life. He was in the San Diego SeaWorld Adventure Park when he saw
an American woman suddenly fall to the ground and lose consciousness. He just happened to
be a doctor, so he immediately performed CPR on her. After ten minutes, the woman finally
woke up.
W: He saved that woman’s life.
M: Yes, he absolutely did.
(Text 7)
M: It seems you’re very busy on weekends this term.
W: Yes. I’m helping at my uncle’s store now, so I usually spend my weekends there.
M: What do you usually do there?
W: I talk to the people who visit about the products we offer.
M: What kinds of products does your uncle sell?
W: They’re products especially designed for left-handed people. They are very popular with left-
handers. It’s the only store with products like that in our city.
M: Where did the idea for such a business first come from?
W: Well, the original shop was opened by a retired printer called Gruby.
M: Why did he want to open such a store? Was he left-handed himself?
W: Yes, he was. So he tried to develop a few products for left-handers. It turned out to be a great
idea and many businessmen wanted to cooperate with him.
(Text 8)
M: Lisa, you always do well in our English writing class. How do you do it?
W: Well, first, I make sure that I know basic English grammar well.
M: Ah, I’ll have to work harder on my grammar.
W: Do you like reading?
M: Not so much. I spend most of my time watching movies or doing sports.
W: Well, I spend a lot of my spare time reading. I can learn a lot about writing by reading a wide
variety of material.
M: Yes, that sounds right. I’ll have to start doing that. What else do you think I might try?
W: Well, learning any skill takes practice. So I’d recommend trying some free writing for ten
minutes every morning with your cup of coffee!
M: That’s a good idea!
W: Do you ever check your writing after you finish it?
M: No. I usually just hand it in.
W: Well, you really should check your writing after you finish it to correct mistakes.
M: That makes sense. Thanks, Lisa.

W: Does the thumbs-up sign mean something positive here in your country?
M: Yes. In the United States it is a sign of approval. Why do you ask?
W: Well, my friend Tae told me that when he moved from Thailand to the US, he was afraid to
use it.
M: Ah, right. That’s because in Thailand the thumbs-up sign means you’re making fun of
someone. So what is Tae doing in America? Is he studying here?
W: No. He came here because his company wanted him to work in its head office.
So is it OK in North America to pat the top of a child’s head with your open palm?
M: Yes, you can do that. It means you like that child.
W: I’ve heard that it shouldn’t be done in some countries.
M: Yes, you shouldn’t do that in some South Asian countries. My friend Henry once did that
when he was visiting Sri Lanka, and the child got really angry. I think it’s also considered rude
in Thailand.
W: That’s interesting. People can do that in my country.

I like movies. Last Friday my father and I went to the cinema to see a movie called Selma. It
was a very exciting movie and I enjoyed it very much.
Afterwards, I asked my father what he thought of the movie. He said it was fun to watch, but
he pointed out that the movie had some of its historical facts wrong. My father teaches history at a
high school, so he knows a lot about history. When I asked him which facts were wrong in the
movie, he told me about Lyndon B. Johnson. Johnson was a former US President. He wasn’t a
very popular president because of the Vietnam War. During his term, he tried to protect the rights
of people of other races, but in the movie, Lyndon B. Johnson did the totally opposite thing.
After coming back, I looked up the movie on the Internet, and I found that my father was
right. He wasn’t the only one who realized that some of the movie’s historical facts were wrong.
As a teenager, I don’t think movies that are based on historical events should make such mistake s,
because they’ll give people the wrong impression of what actually happened in history.
