even so you wrote an excellent story you

should feel pleased with yourself

do you think my story is great

without a doubt

that story was far superior to the

others

but the judges don’t think so

trust me your story is really good

the judges made the wrong decision

just wait till you’re a well-known

author

that’s really kind of you to say but

don’t say butt i recognized your ability

when i read it

thank you i was about to give up writing

stories because of today’s results

don’t do that you are a real talent

it’s great to hear words of

encouragement from you

will you always be by my side and

encourage me

of course

if you become famous credit me

it’s a dentio

thank you very much you’re a true pal

states

believe you will be able to come to

america

i’m so fed up with waiting for my visa i

can’t do anything with my life while i’m

just waiting

comparison differences and similarities

dialogue one

good morning is there anything i can

help with

i’m trying to decide which brand to

purchase

about paint

right

but i don’t know anything about painting

tell me what are you going to paint

my window

yes i see

so these are our outside paints all are

good quality

i just want to buy the best one

i recommend you these two paint brands

these two in my opinion are the best

what’s the distinction

this type is the most popular it’s a

best seller

this one is a bit thicker it doesn’t

make as much of a mess

great i also don’t have much skill in

painting

both of these paints have very good

weather resistance

does this mean it will stay longer

essentially yes

approximately two or three years longer

i get what you mean what is the price of

each type

the prices of the two types are similar

so i’ll take the best selling product

show me

okay here you are

please let me know if you have any more

inquiries

that should be enough thank you very

much

dialogue too

how do you feel today

much better thank you very much doctor

have you been eating more recently as i

advised

yes doctor i’ve been eating a lot but i

don’t want to put on weight

you are not overweight

you are in fact dangerously underweight

no way doctor i’m already overweight and

i don’t want to become much fatter

as previously stated you are underweight

and if you become any more underweight

you will have to return to the hospital

i get it doctor

dialogue three

more

i prefer you babe

linda has a fantastic physique don’t you

more beautiful physique than you

sure babe i’d still love you the same

way

but you’ll think in your head that i’m

too fat

that will never happen i love you not

because of your looks

thanks babe

35 agreement and disagreement

dialogue one

[Music]

you don’t wash dishes

i’m sorry i’ll do it later

no you will do it right now

why are you being so difficult to me it

is only the dishes

you said the same thing yesterday but in

the end you didn’t wash the dishes

i know but my favorite movie is on

television right now

so what who cares

if you make a promise you have to do it

come on isn’t it worse than simply the

dishes

you absolutely know that this isn’t

about the dishes

so it’s about what

it’s about your attitude even you never

help other people unless you are asked

to

what you say is not correct

but it is for the most part you always

just lie there and watch tv

calm down i think you need to relax

i need to relax

no it’s about you

you need to start doing your part

that’s fine i’ll do it

now just leave me alone

this isn’t over yet mister you need to

change your attitude

restaurant
