W: Look, it’s already eight. Tom said he’d be here by seven.

M: Yes, but you know what the traffic is like this time of the evening.

W: He said he’s trying not to be late. Why does he always do this? I’ve had enough this time.

W: Dad, I’ve got a letter from Han Mei. She wants to stay with us for a week next month. Can she stay?

W: Did you go out yesterday evening?

M: Yes, we went to the Tianjin Sports Centre to watch a women’s volleyball game between Tianjin and US. The US team was led by Lang Ping, the formal coach of the Chinese national team.

W: How was the game?

M: It was very exciting, we enjoyed it very much. But we missed the first thirty minutes.

W: Why?

M: We took a wrong bus. So we were late for the game. We got there at 7:30. W: That’s too bad.

W: Hello. Susan speaking. May I speak to Judy, please?

M: I’m afraid she’s not in at this moment. I’m her brother. Shall I take a message?

W: Yes. You see, Judy and I timed to table tennis tomorrow. But my cousin has broken my bat. I think Judy has an extra one. So please ask her to bring it for me.

M: So, Susan called; her table tennis bat broken; hope Judy brings an extra one?

W: Yes, thank you. Err… one more thing; I lent her a book a couple of weeks ago. I think she has probably forgotten it all together. Could you possibly ask her to bring along that book as well?

M: Ok, bring along Susan’s book.

W: Thank you very much. Bye.

M: Bye.

W: Can I help you?

M: I need to find a specific magazine, and I’m not sure where to look.

W: How old is the magazine you need to find? Is it a recent magazine, less than a year old, or is it an old magazine?

M: You mean to know how old the magazine is to found it?

W: Yes. The more recent magazines are in the magazine reading room on the second floor. But after a year, magazines are tied together and kept on the third floor. 

M: Well, the magazine I want to find is more than a year old. So that means I need to go to the second floor. Oh, excuse me, what am I saying? The third floor!

W: That’s right, the third floor.

M: Thanks for your help.

M: Good morning, Laura. What do you want to talk to me about？

W: Good morning, Professor Smith. I want to talk to you about changing my major. You see, I’ve decided to work in an art museum when I graduate in three years. I think I should change my major to art history.

M: You know, Laura. I think you should give this decision some more thought. I’ve done well in   your year’s business major. Besides, all organizations need good managers.

W: That’s true. But wouldn’t I still have to know a lot about art?

M: Why not attend a few lectures in art history, and try working a few hours a week as a volunteer at the local art museum. See if you really like working that.
