Kevin: Hey, Cathy, I found a good place for a vacation this summer. Cathy: What is it?

Kevin: It's called Camp Star.

Cathy: Hmmm. Looks pretty .But what can you do there ? Kevin: It's kind of isolated.

Cathy: Isolated? What do you mean ?

Kevin: It's off the coast ,and you have to take a boat to get there .This week's program is that you hike and hear lectures and talk about current issues. Cathy: Where do you stay? Tents?

Kevin: No, it's an old hotel .They have a couple of rules, though . Cathy: Uh-huh?

Kevin: It says here there's no TV and you can't use any electrical appliances .

Cathy: No TV ? And no electrical...Wait a minute . What about my notebook computer? Kevin: No, no computers ,and there's only one telephone on the whole island . Cathy: What? So I won't be able to check my e-mail either?

Kevin: You'll get by. It'll be fun! Look, you can read ,and talk, and think .And every morning you go for a long hike. Cathy: Ahh. Sounds like work.

Kevin: I think it would be relaxing. I'd like to get away from the phone for a week.And I think it'd be good for you.

Cathy: So you're telling me there's no TV, no computers ,and I have to wake up every morning to go hiking .Why on earth would anybody want to go there ? 5.

A: So what are your thoughts on the two applicants?

B: I thought they were both strong. It’s going to be a tough decision. A: Well, let’s look at their respective pros and cons.

B: Good idea. I feel that Eric, on the plus side, is a good team player and is also capable of being highly self-sufficient. On the downside, he doesn’t seem very motivated.

A:I would agree. Mark, on the other hand, seems very driven and motivated. My main concern is that he may lack self sufficiency as well as initiative and therefore need more

supervision.

B: Who do you think has the best managerial skills?

A: Well, Mark certainly seems like a good organizer and planner, but I think Eric would be better at leading and controlling.

B: I am not so sure I agree that Eric would lead well. As we said, he appears less motivated: it’s hard to motivate and inspire others if you’re not motivated yourself. A: Good point. Let’s sleep on it and we’ll make a decision tomorrow. 6.

A: Eric, how did your interview go?

B: I feel it went smoothly. How about yours?

A: I don’t know. I think I answered a question badly. They asked me to describe my greatest strength and my biggest weakness.

B: They asked me that question too. What did you answer? A: So then what did you say your biggest weakness is?

B: Honestly, I don’t. You will never get hired because of a weakness, so I believe it’s best to show your qualities only at an interview.

A: I said that my greatest strength is that I am very passionate about everything I do. Then I said my biggest weakness is that I sometimes have trouble solving problems on my own. Do you think that is a good answer?

B: I said that I always want things to be perfect even though I know it’s not always possible.

A: Very clever.

Jean: I'm ready, are you ? Why don't you take that necklace off before you go in the pool ？

Chandra: Oh, this ? No, I never take it off .I wear it all the time .I've had it since I was a kid .

Jean: Really ? You've worn it since you were little ? Why ?

Chandra: Well, when I was a baby ,I lived in India .And I was sick all the time ,so my parents took me to a doctor .And, well, the doctor at first didn't want to treat me because - Jean: What? Why?

Chandra: Well, because I was a girl. Jean: Huh ? Because you were a girl ?

Chandra: Yeah, well, that's the way it was .Anyway, so my parents took me to this witch doctor, and I...

Jean: A witch doctor ?

Chandra: Yeah, well, I guess you could call her a...I don't know ,a spiritual healer .She was an old woman in our village .And she took a look at me and she said I needed silver.

Jean: Silver?

Chandra: Yeah. She said I needed silver so that I could get better .And then my grandmother went to a jeweler and she had this silver necklace made for me.They put it on me ,and I got better . Jean: I don't believe that.

Chandra: Well, I didn't either for a while .But you know what ? When I was 20 I took it off and I put it in a drawer for a little while .And then, I started to get sick again .And I didn't get better .I was just sick all the time .And then I remembered the necklace ,and I put it on .And after that, I was fine. Jean: Wow. 7、

A:So what are you wearing to the party tonight?

B:I’m wearing a red dress with a new necklace I bought. A:Let me see the necklace.

B:I bought it for only 10 dollars. A:Very nice. Is it made of real silver?

B:No, it’s fake. But it looks real, doesn’t it? A:Yeah, is does. It’s very shiny. B:So what are you going to wear?

A:I’m just wearing a top with nice trousers.

B:Oh, come on. Wear something more fun. How about this skirt? A:Do you think it will fit me? B:Try it on.

A:It fits! This skirt will go nice with my top.

B:And it suits you! Here, wear this belt. It goes well with that skirt. 8、

A:Jane, I saw Helen yesterday: she just got her bellybutton pierced . B:Urgh! What did she do that for?

A:To show off her flat stomach of course! B:She’s mad.

A:Well, at least she doesn’t wear a stud in her nose!

B:That’s true. I wonder why she doesn’t? You’d think she’d prefer showing off her nose to her bellybutton.

A:She says almost all of her friends wear ear studs and earrings. She wants to be different. B:Well, look at me. I’m her friend, and I often don’t wear jewellery. A:That’s because you are plain and boring! Ha ha!

B:Well, look at me. I’m her friend, and I often don’t wear jewellery. A:Suit yourself!
