don’t know the person well. When we talk about the people in our lives, we usually talk
about friends and colleagues.
an old friend = a person you have known for a long time
a good / close friend = a person you spend time with—who listens to your problems
a friend from work = a colleague you like
a friend from school = a person in one of your classes or one you knew in school

GOAL 13
Role A
You are going to have dinner in a four-star restaurant. The restaurant was recommended to
you by a friend. You’re thinking about having soup as an appetizer and a seafood dish as a

coming to your table.
Ask him / her to recommend a soup and a seafood dish for you. Find out how they are
prepared and what they are served with.
GOAL 14
Role A
You are having lunch at a busy, popular restaurant. You ordered your meal over half an hour
ago, and it has finally arrived. Unfortunately,

– the chicken looks like it wasn’t cooked well enough (it’s still pink inside),
– you ordered rice but got potatoes.
Call the server to your table and complain.

My notes
Ann: ?
Brad: Our last project was a campaign to educate small business owners about recycling.
Ann: ?
Brad: It had three phases. Phase 1 was creating booklets and a web page for business owners and
employees. In Phase 2, we went to the businesses and talked about possible recycling
projects. We showed them how to save production costs by recycling a number of materials. In
Phase 3, we went back to the companies to ask the owners and employees about their
recycling experiences. It was very interesting.
Ann: ?
Brad: We had a $75,000 budget. The biggest expense was for the printed materials—and paying the
project teams.
Ann: ?
Brad: We went a little over budget—by about one thousand dollars.
Ann: ?
Brad: Every phase was completed on time, except Phase 3. It was difficult to arrange times to meet
with the owners, and because we hired business students for this phase, we had to work with
their schedules, too.
Ann: ?
Brad: The whole project lasted about a year.
Ann: ?
Brad: Oh, I enjoyed it very much. I’d love to do this kind of project again!
My notes
Dear Rebecca,
Please find attached my status report for May. We are a bit behind schedule right now because of the
brochures. I had to send them back, because the ink they used comes off the paper. The printing
company says they will send us new ones ASAP. We should have them by the end of the week. They
aren’t going to charge us for this, so there’s no extra expense to us.
We should be able to get back on track by the end of the month. Everything else is going according to
plan.
Sincerely,
Steve
