Conversation 3

Salesman: Would you like to see our new cotton dresses?

Customer: Yes, indeed. What would you recommend?

Salesman: They are the latest fashion. Have a look at them.

Customer: I’m fascinated by their design. But I’m interested in light yellow one. Can you show me some?

Salesman: Here you are. They are very nice for you.

Customer: Yes, they are wonderful. I’d like to take two of them.

Conversation 4

Jack: Hi, Rose, I haven’t seen you for ages, how are you now?

Rose: Well, not bad.

Jack: Rose, shall we go out for a meal this evening?

Rose: I don’t really mind.

Jack: We could go to that new Chinese restaurant.

Rose: I suppose we could.

Conversation 5

Michael: Hello, Betty. Are you doing anything this Sunday? How about going to see an opera with me,or maybe you would rather see a play?

Betty: To tell you the truth, I’d rather see a play. I don’t care much for operas. I hear a new play is on at the Grand Theatre.

Michael: Good, I’ll see if I can get tickets for Sunday.

Betty: The thing I don’t like about going on Sunday is that it’s always so crowded. How about Friday or Saturday?

Michael: That would suit me too. I’ll give you a call about the tickets later. Good-bye.

Conversation 6

Laura: Do you like animals? I really like dogs.

Cathy: So do I. I don’t like cats.

Laura: Why? I think cats are OK.

Cathy: I can’t bear being near cats. They don’t seem to like me either.

Laura: I like wild animals. I don’t like spiders and snakes. I think spiders and snakes are disgusting.

Cathy: I’m fond of snakes. I think they’re great. I agree with you about spiders though. I think spiders are horrible because they have so many legs.

Laura: I think bears are wonderful. Pandas are fantastic. I loathe ( 讨厌,厌恶 ) people who kill them for their fur.

Cathy: I agree. I’m crazy about mice. I think they’re so cute!

Conversation 7

Kate: What do you think of the people in our class? I think most of them are fine.

Lucy: I think so too. I don’t like Mark. He’s so arrogant. I despise arrogant people.

Kate: Mike is fascinating. I’m fond of people who have something intelligent to say.

Lucy: Carol’s fun to be with. I really look forward to hearing her jokes. What do you think of Tom?

Kate: He’s all right. I don’t dislike him, but I don’t really like him much either. What do you think of him?

Lucy: I think he’s OK. He’s very quiet, so it’s hard to know what kind of person he really is.

Kate: I’m fond of Jane. She’s a very interesting girl. She’s crazy about boy-bands.

Lucy: Really? I’m mad on them too. I should get to know her better. Are you keen on music?

Kate: I think that dance music is excellent. I love going to a disco and dancing to the music. I enjoy meeting new people there.

Lucy: My parents loathe dance music. If I play it at home, they always complain. Are your parents the same?

Kate: My mom hates it, but my dad thinks it’s OK. He doesn’t mind as long as I don’t play the music

too loud.
