Conversation at the Front Desk:

Customer (C): Excuse me, I was here a couple of days ago and I think I left behind something really
important. Is there any way you could help me find it?
Receptionist (R): Of course, I'd be happy to assist you. Can you describe the item you lost?
C: It's a small black leather wallet. It's quite distinctive, has a silver monogram on the front, and it
contains my ID, some cards, and a sentimental photo.
R: I see. Do you remember when you last had it? Were you in a particular area of the place?
C: I believe I had it when I was at the table near the window, enjoying my coffee.
R: Alright. Let me check our lost and found records to see if it's been turned in. Could you provide me
with your contact details in case we find it later today?
C: Sure, here's my phone number and email. I really hope you find it; it means a lot to me.
R: I completely understand. We'll do our best to locate it for you. If it's found, I'll get in touch with you
right away.
C: Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.
R: Not a problem at all. We're here to assist our guests. Have a great day, and I'll keep you updated.
C: Thanks again. Goodbye.
R: Goodbye, and take care.

Conversation at the Restaurant:

Friend A (A): Hey, good to see you! What brought us here today?
Friend B (B): Same here! I thought we'd grab dinner and catch up.
A: Have you checked the menu yet?
B: Yeah, loads of options! I'm torn between the pasta and the chicken dish.
A: I'm eyeing the salads, they look fresh. Are you feeling something heavy or lighter tonight?
B: I'm not too hungry, so probably something lighter. What about you?
A: I'm on the same page. Let's go for salads then. Want to share an appetizer?
B: Sure, nachos or fries?
A: Let's do nachos! I'll call the server.
B: Great, thanks!

Conversation at the Restaurant:

Friend A (A): Hey, great to catch up with you! What brings us to this restaurant today?
Friend B (B): It's good to see you too! I thought it'd be nice to celebrate your recent promotion over
lunch. Congratulations again, by the way!
A: Thanks a lot! I appreciate it. So, have you had a chance to look at the menu? I'm torn between trying
something new or sticking to my usual favorite.
B: Yeah, there are so many options! I'm eyeing the pasta dishes, but the burgers also look tempting.
What are you leaning towards?
A: I'm thinking about trying their speciality salads, especially the one with grilled chicken. But then again,
those tacos look delicious too.
B: True, those tacos caught my eye too. Are you more into something light or a heartier meal today?
A: Hmm, considering it's lunchtime, I'm feeling something in between—not too heavy, but still filling.
How about you?
B: I'm on the same page. Not too heavy, but I don't want to leave hungry either. I might settle for a pasta
dish then, something with a creamy sauce, perhaps.
A: That sounds good! I might go for the salad and maybe share an appetizer if you're up for it?
B: Definitely! Let's get some garlic bread or maybe some nachos to start. Sharing appetizers is the best
part, right?
A: Absolutely! Sharing is caring, especially when it comes to food. Shall we grab the attention of the
server and place our order?
B: Sounds like a plan. Let's do it!

Conversation about Midterm Exam Syllabus:

Professor (P): Hi there! Ready for the upcoming midterm?
Student (S): Hi, Professor. I just wanted to make sure I'm focusing on the right stuff. Could you tell me
which topics will be covered more in the exam?
P: Sure! The exam will mainly focus on the concepts we've covered in the last few weeks. That includes
supply and demand, market structures, and pricing strategies.
S: Okay, got it. So, the case studies we discussed will be included?
P: Yes, definitely. You might see questions related to those cases, helping you apply the theories we've
learned.
S: And what about the math models we covered last class?
P: Absolutely. Expect questions where you'll use those models to solve problems related to consumer
behavior and market equilibrium.
S: Thanks! Will the exam have both multiple-choice and essay questions?
P: Yes, you'll have a mix of both. Multiple-choice for understanding concepts and essays to explain in-
depth analysis.
S: Perfect! This gives me a clearer picture. Thanks a lot, Professor!
P: No problem at all. Remember, if you have more questions while studying, feel free to ask. Good luck
with your prep!
S: Thanks, Professor. I'll make sure to review everything thoroughly. Have a great day!
P: You too, and all the best for the exam!

Conversation at the New Campus:

Person A (Lost Student): Excuse me, sorry to bother you. I'm a bit turned around. I'm trying to find the
registrar's office. Could you point me in the right direction?
Person B (Helpful Student): Sure, no problem! You're in the right place. Head straight down this hallway,
take the stairs to the second floor, and the registrar's office will be on your left.
A: Great, thank you so much! Also, do you happen to know where the main cafeteria is?
B: Of course! It's on the ground floor. Once you exit this building, take a right, and you'll see a big
building with a glass entrance. That's the cafeteria.
A: Perfect, thanks a lot! This campus is much bigger than I expected.
B: Yeah, it can be a bit overwhelming at first. But you'll get used to it in no time. Need help finding
anything else?
A: Actually, I'm also trying to locate Room 203 for my next class. Any idea where that might be?
B: Ah, Room 203 is in the building just across from the cafeteria, on the first floor. If you head to the
cafeteria as I mentioned earlier, it'll be to your left.
A: Got it. Thanks a ton for the detailed directions! I appreciate your help.
B: No problem at all! Don't hesitate to ask if you need assistance in the future. Enjoy your day!
A: Will do. Thanks again, have a good one!

Conversation about Campus Canteen Food:

Friend A (A): Hey, have you tried the food at the campus canteen lately?
Friend B (B): Oh yeah, I've been eating there for about a month now. What do you think?
A: Honestly, there are some good and not-so-great things about it.
B: Totally agree! What do you like about it?
A: Well, they've got a decent variety. I mean, the sandwiches and salads are pretty fresh, and the pasta
dishes aren't bad either. And the prices are reasonable too.
B: Yeah, that's true. But I'm not a big fan of their pizza; it's a bit too greasy for my liking.
A: I hear you. Also, I wish they'd switch up the menu more often. Feels like we're eating the same stuff
every week.
B: Absolutely! More variety would be nice. And you know, sometimes the lines get crazy during lunch
rush hours. It'd be great if they could speed up the service somehow.
A: Totally! Oh, and I noticed they're using a lot of disposable plastics. It'd be awesome if they could
switch to more eco-friendly options.
B: Good point! We could suggest that. But overall, I think it's not too bad for a campus canteen, right?
A: Yeah, true. It has its ups and downs. Maybe we should drop a suggestion in the feedback box or talk
to someone in charge about these improvements.
B: That's a good idea! We could make the canteen experience even better for everyone.
A: Definitely! Let's do that next time. Anyway, want to grab something there now?
B: Sure thing! I could go for one of those salads today. Let's go!
