neutral I guess you are right.But what shall we do? I don't feel like sitting at home. neutral I suggest a walk over to the gym where we can play singsong and meet some of our friends. happiness That's a good idea. I hear Mary and Sally often go there to play pingpong.Perhaps we can make a foursome with them. happiness Sounds great to me! If they are willing, we could ask them to go dancing with us.That is excellent exercise and fun, too. happiness Good.Let's go now. happiness

We really have a blast here.

It seems everyone wants to dance in modern society. In my childhood, it used

neutral Can you do push-ups? neutral Of course I can. It's a piece of cake! Believe it or not, I can do 30 push-ups a minute. surprise Really? I think that's impossible! neutral You mean 30 push-ups? neutral Yeah! neutral

Are they easy? Do people like me have the same feeling when we finish doing this workout?

Why don't we take bet? Let ’ s make the deal. If someone gets more re

neutral What position do you play? neutral I ’ m a defender. It ’ s a lot of fun. You don ’ t have to be able to skate as fast on defense. neutral Yeah, you ’ re a pretty big guy. I play goalie, myself. surprise Oh, yeah? Which team? neutral The Rockets. surprise

Really? How did that happen.

Are we in different leags? 10. Yup, it happens often these

neutral Frank ’ s getting married, do you believe this? surprise Is he really? neutral Yes, he is. He loves the girl very much. neutral Who is he marring? neutral A girl he met on holiday in Spain, I think. neutral

Have you ever seen her?

Oh, how nice! neutral And they have invited everyone for a party next Friday

happiness Great, is it a two bedroom house? neutral No, it has three bedrooms and three beds, and has a living room with a twelve-foot ceiling. There ’ s a two-car garage. happiness That ’ s a nice area too. It ’ ll be a good investment for you. neutral Yeas, when will you buy a house? neutral Not untill the end of this year, you know, just before my wedding. happiness

Oh, I see! You are planning already.

I guess we have different tastes. You like small, cozy rooms ; i liked open

neutral No, I can't see that happening. I know you're a good cook and nothing like that would ever happen. neutral It's not just that. She also criticizes how we raise the kids. neutral My mother-in-law used to do the same thing to us. If it wasn't disciplining them enough, then we were disciplining them too much. She also complained about the food we fed them, the schools we sent them too, and everything else under the sun. neutral You said she used to? How did you stop her? neutral We basically sat her down and told her how we felt about her constant criticizing, and how we welcomed her advice but hoped she'd let us do our things. She understood, and now everything is a lot more peaceful. happiness

Good for all of your family, Anna!

Well. That sounds very nice, actually! surprise What? Didn ’

neutral How are Zina's new programmers working out? neutral I hate to admit it, but they're good. And fast. The Filipino kid is a genius. neutral So you'll make the Stars.com deadline, and have us up and running next week? neutral It'll be close, but we'll make it. neutral Good. After Stars.com starts paying us, we won't need Vikam's cash anymore. neutral

What about your other backers?

Wait. You said your investors wanted to meet with me before Stars.com invests? That

neutral Why do you like it? neutral I have no idea. I like cooking by myself. I like to taste delicious food. happiness That's wonderful! neutral And I love trying new recipes, which I usually test with my friends. You can come, too. surprise Really? I hope I can have a chance to taste it. Don't forget to tell me. neutral

Okay. See, here is our dining room.

Yes.Bye. sadness Oh, sorry. But this dining

neutral How was it? happiness Great. I got to try so many things for the first time. neutral Like what? neutral I went sailing, fishing, and horseback riding. neutral I ’ m so jealous. happiness

You have too much fun, Daniel.

Why? What did your friend say? neutral She told me that she had a

neutral Oh, dear. neutral And three times a week, you can either swim, play racketball, or hand ball. neutral Oh no. neutral OK, you can stop now.It's time for the dance class. neutral Dance class! I don't know how. neutral

You just follow me.

You just go to some dancing center, and they teach it. 0hahah...

neutral Hi Bill, I saw your grandma yesterday. neutral Oh where was that? neutral I was running around the track at my college and there she was walking around the same track. neutral Grannie always tries to stay fit and healthy.She is always making us kids eat the proper foods. neutral Well, it pays off for her.How old is she anyway? neutral

She will be a hundred next month.

You know, 82 next month. That's amazing! She lives in Canada you

neutral What about the other class? neutral The other class is on Monday and Wednesday from 10 am - 12. neutral Are you sure there are no more open classes? neutral I'm positive. neutral Sign me up for Monday and Wednesday. neutral

OK. Do we sign here first or later?

Okay, Mr. Brown. You can be my student. Now that we ’ Ve got all our

neutral To me English is a difficult language. neutral A second language is always difficult. neutral True, but English is harder than most. It's a crazy language. surprise A crazy language? Why do you say that? neutral One letter can have several pronunciations and one word can have several meanings. neutral

No wonder people get confused.

That doesn ’ t make any sense. I think your idea about it must be cra...

neutral Can I help you? neutral I hope so. I'm looking for some material for a paper I'm writing, and I'm not quite sure where to look. neutral I'll certainly try to help you. What topic is your paper on? neutral My paper is on the influence of television on children. neutral There are several possible sources you might use for that topic. I suggest you use the computer and the computer will give you a list of every scientific journal that talks about children and television. happiness

That sounds very interesting.

Thank you very much. That would probably be an excellent place to start my research!

neutral So Baltimore is winning? happiness Right. happiness This is a really great place to watch a baseball game. happiness Yeah, there isn ’ t a bad seat in the place. happiness The fans are great here, too. Not like in Philadelphia. happiness

And we have amazing local beer.

Oh, maybe I don ’ 'd notice. It wasn't that long since they

neutral Excuse me. Could you please take a picture of us with this camera? happiness Sure. Which button do I press to shoot? neutral This one. neutral Do I have to focus it? neutral No, this is a focus-free camera. All you have to do is point and press the button. happiness

Thank you very much.

Ok. Here, hold your position, we'll be ready by seven twenty five....

neutral How do you do, Prof.Smith. happiness How do you do, Ms. Yang.You speak very good English. happiness Thank you. I begin to like English even when I was a child. neutral Where did you learn it? neutral At school, in China.This is my first time to be out of my own country. surprise

Wow! It's quite something.

You are from the most important country-the only super powerful country! ... Yes and No

neutral What kind of music do you like? neutral I like classical music. Do you? neutral Not very much. Classical music sends me to sleep neutral I don't believe you. neutral It ’ s true. neutral

Why is it so?

Have you tried jazz? That is good. sadness Oh... sorry, but

neutral Do you have any hobbies besides playing chess? neutral I'm afraid not. neutral Do you have any hobbies like playing tennis or things like that? neutral Oh, yes. I like playing basketball. neutral Can you tell me why you like it? neutral

Because the ball is always bobbling.

Well, for one thing, the game is really exciting to watched. For another 5 it

neutral Can I help you? neutral I hope so. I'm looking for some material for a paper I'm writing, and I'm not quite sure where to look. neutral I'll certainly try to help you.What topic is your paper on? neutral My paper is on the influence of television on children. neutral There are several possible sources you might use for that topic. I suggest you use the computer and the computer will give you a list of every scientific journal that talks about children and television. happiness

That seems very useful. Thank you...

Thanks. surprise What! You don't have a computer? Why not

happiness That ’ s great! Do you have any plans? neutral Well, I ’ Ve been working so hard lately, so I ’ ll probably just take it easy. happiness Sounds nice. neutral Yeah, I ’ ll probably just stay in and relax. Maybe watch a few movies. neutral Can I stop by? neutral

It doesn't matter to me.

You know, that would be very kind of you if your are free!

neutral I don ’ t think you ’ re right there. neutral I believe industry is making us wealthier. neutral I don ’ t believe that. neutral And in my opinion, medicine is making us healthier. neutral I agree with you in the sense. But we ’ re all more miserable than ever, aren ’ t we? neutral

You may have a low view of humanity.

Yeah. We work longer hours nowaday, and get less for our money!

neutral Do you have your library card? neutral Here it is. neutral Make sure to take proper care of this video. neutral That won ’ t be a problem. neutral If you damage the video, you will be fined. neutral

I understand that.

You got that right. neutral I would like my $25 deposit back

neutral That's right. neutral And you often go back to live with your parents and leave our son in the room by himself. neutral I... I... I miss my parents, also they miss me. neutral Oh I remember, I cut terrible calls, and you didn't say anything about it. neutral You mean I am groaned a few words? neutral

Exactly, that was just an exercise.

Totally different. happiness It is true, we have been together over five years

happiness I feel like going for a drink, it's been a long day. happiness Great idea! Peter, I could use the drink. happiness How about the new bar across road? happiness Sounds good. The food there is fantastic, too. happiness I agree, I had lunch there last week. happiness

It has great cocktails.

Let ’ s go.

neutral are you very close to your first-cousins? neutral the ones that are my age are close relatives. Now that I ’ m older, I don ’ t spend as much time with them as I used to, so I don ’ t know my younger cousins as well as the older ones. neutral I see. who ’ s the head of your household? neutral it ’ s definitely my mother. And, her mother is definitely the matriarch of the bigger family. neutral that ’ s interesting. What does your grandfather think of your step-mother? neutral

She gets on extremely well, actually.

she takes all of his money from him, spends it fussly on fancy dress and j

happiness How about tomorrow afternoon? happiness Sure. Where shall I meet you? happiness At the gate of the park. happiness Great. I look forward to meeting you. happiness See you then. happiness

Thank for your time, Mr. Smith.

Thank-You! Goodbye. neutral, disgust and anger all come at

neutral Hey, Maggy, Did you hear about David? neutral About David? No, I didn ’ t hear anything. neutral You know, about David and his new boss. neutral Sorry, I don ’ t quite follow you. neutral Well, I heard David has been fired. neutral

That's right, he got the chop.

Really? neutral Yes. He had a big argument with the new manager, and

neutral maybe if I sold my car now, I wouldn't be so tempted to use it. neutral you could try. It would save you a lot of money. neutral that's true. Every month, I spend hundreds of dollars on gas, insurance, and repairs. neutral if you got to class by riding a bicycle every day instead of driving, you will get lots of exercise, too! neutral I could stand to lose a few pounds. Having a car has made me lazy. I never end up walking anywhere! neutral

how far can your bus go?

your health doesn 30, what else is going wrong with the cars in your life? Is

neutral You are going to take courses? neutral Yes. I am going to take some university courses there. neutral Sounds hard. neutral Yes, but I think it's probably for the best. neutral Won ’ t you get lonely? neutral

Oh yeah! That will be difficult.

Of course not. My roommmates will study at our college as well, and we can

neutral I do.We haven't watered them for quite a few days. neutral Please look at the sky.Don't you see the dark clouds? It's going to rain soon. happiness Good.So we don't have to work.How nice! neutral But I don't think it's so nice. neutral Why? neutral

Because now they are not very healthy, and maybe this weather will make things worse.

Because if they get wet, they will break into pieces. surprise... Oh? What

neutral Good. I will have hot chocolate. neutral A stop! Wait for the lights to turn green. neutral When crossing the road you must always pay attention to what's around you. neutral Sorry. How far is the museum? neutral I am not sure. We will ask for directions in the coffee shop. neutral

What do they serve besides drink?

Let's go! Be careful, we are going along a very busy street today. 3

happiness How about going to the cinema tonight? happiness That's great. What's on tonight? neutral I am not sure about the name of the film, but I know it's a romantic one. neutral Romantic? I am afraid I like thrillers better. neutral Don't you think it's too bloody? neutral

Not at all, so do most men and women.

It can keep my heart beating! And there will certainly be some big, bad-looking guys

neutral Yeah! Why not? They are trendy and look great! I want to get a dragon on my arm or maybe a tiger on my back. neutral Yeah but, it is something that you will have forever! They use indelible ink that can only be removed with laser treatment. On top of all that, I have heard it hurts a lot! surprise Really? neutral Of course! They use this machine with a needle that pokes your skin and inserts the ink. neutral Oh, I didn ’ t know that! I thought they just paint it on your skin or something. neutral

That might work for some animals.

Well, whatever. It looks cool! happiness Yeah! And if some day when

neutral I agree. Are there any commercials on the TV? neutral Of course. Because the TV stations need to make money from commercials between the programs. neutral That makes a lot of sense. Does the TV work well? neutral Not always. It depends on the transmission of the satellite signals. neutral I got it. Do you pay for the programs? neutral

No, all are free by air.

No. But we do have to subscribe to get all kinds of sports, movies and music

disgust Oh, no! disgust How dreadful! neutral Look at the view from the window. disgust Oh, dear. That ’ s terrible. Not at all what I expected. disgust It ’ s awful, isn ’ t it? disgust

What a pity. The place is so dirty!

Yes, but how annoying! anger You can say something

neutral Really? How long have you been playing the violin? neutral About ten years so far. I started learning when I was in middle school. happiness That's really interesting. happiness Sure. So what about you? Do you have any hobbies? happiness Well, I like collecting matchbox! I'm not sure if that counts, though. happiness

Ha! It certainly is fun to me.

Oh. OK... What do you think we need? sadness Hmm, let

neutral Instead of tackling somebody, you just have to touch them with two hands, or if it is flag football, grab the flag that the ball carrier is wearing. neutral I see. It's safer then right? happiness Exactly. We play every Saturdays on the field by the tennis courts. If you want to learn and play a little, you're welcome to join us. happiness I'll give it a try. Give me a call and let's go down together. happiness Ok. I'll call you Saturday morning. happiness

You are so cool! See you later.

Goodbye. ... Hello! What are these, shoe? Are they new ones?

neutral Everyone from school. neutral How do you know it's going to be so fun? happiness This party is going to have a DJ, food, and drinks. happiness Wow, that does sound like it's going to be fun. happiness So am I going to see you at the party? happiness

You are all my guests. See you there!

Of course, my invite says. What are your plans?

sadness I am pretty sure that I am in trouble. neutral I can see that you are trying, but where do you think you could improve? neutral I missed a few classes ; I need to make sure I come to school on a regular basis. neutral Having a regular study routine and following it is very important, right? neutral I'll try ; it's hard! neutral

Doing something like listening or talking while studying might give your mind something different to concentrate.

Why? You just don ’ t like going, huh? neutral It might

neutral Yes, it was the kind of perfect plastic wrap that comes with new products.Look, it even had a bar-code price sticker on it! It looked brand new. neutral But why would a guy be selling new video cameras for twenty dollars? neutral He said he had to get rid of them. They were stolen. neutral Aha! Now I understand.You were trying to buy stolen goods on the sidewalk.So, what I think is, you deserve to get cheated! neutral C'mon, don't blame me! I thought it was a new camera. We could use it.We were even thinking about buying a camera. I don't understand how he could have such a perfect-looking box. neutral

Well, maybe they are good fakes.

Exactly! And we did give him money, too. That makes two hundred and sixty dollars

happiness Oh, that's exciting. What does this guy look like? Is he hot? neutral Well, I didn't think so at first. But as we started talking, I found him extremely funny and witty. I couldn't stop laughing at his jokes! And we have so much in common. We like the same team, music, and most amazingly, we both love Chinese food! I have the feeling that we are going to be great friends. happiness It seems you two are a good match. What qualities do you look for in a friend? neutral There's nothing definite I think. I don't have a list or anything, but when I first meet somebody, I can usually tell whether or not that person is going to be a good friend. It seems I have radar helping me spot new friends. surprise Well, that's something I've never heard of. But if you ask me what I value most in a friend, I would say honesty. neutral

Yeah, that makes sense because maybe then all your friendship will go out the window?

Hmmm, well maybe that means your face. Anyway 41270653

neutral A physics class about the creation of the universe? That ’ s some pretty unscientific language there. Sounds more religious to me. neutral It ’ s all religion. Take the theory of the Big Bang.How is it possible that all of the stuff in the universe comes from an explosion? That ’ s no better than Atlas carrying the globe on his back or African myths about turtles and stuff. neutral Turtles? Whatever... Look, all that ’ s required for the creation of matter an imbalance of particles and anti-particles. At least, that ’ s what the math says. neutral Math, sheath. What ’ s the evidence? neutral There is evidence! You know Edwin Hubble? He ’ s the guy who in the early twentieth century was the first scientist to measure the drift of matter in the universe, thus advancing notions of an expanding universe. What would it be expanding from? Well, the Big Bang... DUH! neutral

So, maybe they were right after all!

OK, so maybe you have a point... but how can we explain everything else--celestial

neutral Then the axiom -'You can't teach an old dog new tricks'doesn't work any longer. neutral You're right. Lifelong learning is about finding learning opportunities at all ages and in numerous contexts neutral Yes, I agree with you. When I retired I will participate in programs to keep momentally active. neutral Me too. To keep up with the changing world, one must be involved in lifelong learning and be ready to accept new things. neutral You know what? I've recently been teaching myself French. surprise

Wow, how did it happen?

Wow! Is this for business or pleasure? happiness 124 It

anger It smells like an ashtray in here! neutral Hi honey! What ’ s wrong? Why do you have that look on your face? anger What ’ s wrong? I thought we agreed that you were gonna quit smoking. neutral No! I said I was going to cut down which is very different. You can ’ t just expect me to go cold turkey overnight! anger Look, there are other ways to quit. You can try the nicotine patch, or nicotine chewing gum. We spend a fortune on cigarettes every month and now laws are cracking down and not allowing smoking in any public place. It ’ s not like you can just light up like before. neutral

Hey, what about all those people who work with them for long months trying hardest to quit?

Exactly, it wasn't fair! That's my point. Now all things seem against

neutral Have you signed up to join the company ’ s Christmas party? neutral Sure, I have. Will you join? neutral I will. You know, as a newcomer, I think it might be a good opportunity to get to know people from the other departments of our company in a more relaxed atmosphere. neutral You are right. Our company ’ s Christmas party has always been an amazing occasion for everybody to relax and get to know each other better. It is also a time to make new friends and do some networking. neutral I hope that it is not a formal one when the boss is there. neutral

Yes, it isn't.

Yes, it should go well because we all like him very much. neutral So

neutral hi, Emily, do you know that guy over there? neutral The tall one? Sure, that's Drive, he works with Lily. neutral He is cute.What dose he do? neutral I'm not sure, he is a manager I think. surprise Really? Are you going to introduce us? neutral

Of course, if he wants it.

Well, it seems like everyone wants my help in love! You don't have any ideas on

neutral You didn't ring me last night. You said you would. sadness I'm sorry to have made you disappointed. neutral That's all right. But why were you so rude to me at lunch. surprise Was I? Sorry, I didn ’ t mean to be. I do apologize. neutral And why are you yarning now? Are you bored? neutral

Excuse my laziness. What did she say?

No. Why did your father buy that house? Didn'd he know the whole town was

surprise Really? Why? neutral Well, on Saturday I cleaned the house and played tennis. Then on Sunday I hiked in the country. neutral And I bet you studied, too. neutral Yeah. I studied on Sunday evening. What about you? neutral Well, I didn't clean the house and I didn't study. I stayed in bed and watched TV. happiness

That sounds like a very nice day.

You must have really wanted to. disgust Maybe, but it was a bad

neutral He ’ ll be a teenager before you know it! Teenagers are often rebellious! When do you mine it is a good age to have a child? neutral I had mine when I was 24. that ’ s a little young. I ’ d suggest you wait until you are in your late twenties., or even in your early thirties if you have a good career. neutral Yes, I think you ’ re right. I ’ m thinking about having a child, but not just yet. neutral Is there a big generation gap between parents and their children in you country? neutral Yes, there is. Teenagers do not want to live traditional lives. They want to go out, have fun, and explore the world. They want to develop their own view of life. Parents usually try to discourage them, but they don ’ t often succeed. neutral

How does all this affect our families, such as yours? You can see from these two examples.

How would old will he be? Do all babies get born at exactly nine months after an

happiness They are. And not only that the people are friendly, but also the food is delicious, not to mention cheap. happiness I do like Thai food. Did you see much of Bangkok? happiness Not much. I've got enough city life in Beijing. happiness I know what you mean. I could use a vacation myself. happiness Hey, wouldn't it be great if we could go to Thailand together sometime? happiness

It certainly sounds good.

That sounds fine, as long at there isn t too far to walk. How did your flight

neutral Could I see the manager please? I have a complaint to make. neutral Yes, I ’ m the manager here. What can I do for you, Madam? neutral Did you have the room checked before we move in? neutral Which room are you in? neutral 1808. The toilet doesn ’ t work properly, the water doesn ’ t run in the shower. neutral

Well that would be easy, just call our office with your information and we will send someone immediately.

Oh! It does now? But if it doesn ’ t, just dial 36 on

happiness Congratulations, Vivian. You won the grand prize, again. happiness Isn't it just great! I just knew I'd win! surprise You did? How? Did you wear red underwear again this year? neutral Not only that! neutral Tell me! Tell me! What's your secret?! neutral

OK! Just promise not to tell my mom.

OK! When we got on stage, all those people in black suits with little hats and

neutral You'v been work here for nearly a month, how do you feel about the job? neutral Not bad.Thank you for your help. I am always busy with this job, I feel a bit tired. neutral I had the same feeling when I first came to work here. but after a period of time, I feel better, I am sure you'll get used to this busy job. neutral I also feel that work efficiency here is very high. and you have strong working ability and professional skill, it seems that you know all, that's really wonderful! neutral You know the phrase, the survival the fittest. We have no choices. neutral

Exactly, whether we like or hate it.

Exactly! happiness It has already been six months since I began to be employed

happiness Thanks a lot. neutral Do you work in Shanghai? neutral Yes I do. How about you? neutral No, I'm a tourist. This place is amazing! It's much bigger than I imagined, and much more exciting! There's so much to see here. neutral You can say that again! It's much more modern than people imagine. Where are you from? neutral

From New Orleans. Is it far away?

New York. disgust Oh! So crowded, noisy,

neutral How was your education going on in Australia? neutral I'm going to graduate this summer. neutral Where are you going to work then, in Australia or back in China? neutral I'm planning to return to China after graduation. neutral Why are you choosing to leave a foreign country? Many people are reluctant to leave the superior living environment abroad. neutral

Most students like myself want to get good jobs and build up their careers as soon as possible.

It has been my dream for many years. Now it is really about to come true

neutral I hear many teenagers will spend hours and hours sitting at computers. And they don't care about their own health at all. How about you? neutral I'm no better than them. They say it's mindless to sit in front of a machine all the time, but I think it's stimulating. neutral You won't play online games full of violence, will you? neutral Once in a while. neutral It's no good. And I think spending several hours each day playing computer games is a waste of time. You might as well do something healthy and meaningful. neutral

Hey, what did your father use to do?

Hey, Ben, let's leave this PC for today. Why not go outside to enjoy what

neutral Critics are not very happy with the movies that you ’ Ve made recently. Does that bother you? neutral Not at all. The feedback from audience has been great. I care about what they think more than what the critics think. neutral Did you do you own stunts in the movie? neutral I wanted to, but my insurance company wouldn ’ t let me. All of my stunts were done by a stuntman. As you know, I used to do my own stunts, but I ’ ll leave that to the experts in future. happiness Thank you very much for doing this interview. happiness

It was no problem, and thank-You!

Thanks. You can reach our office through this number

neutral Well, I feel a little tired. neutral Come on! A little labor, much health. neutral Then can you wait a few minutes? I want to finish writing this letter. neutral Don't take too long. It would be a shame not to take advantage of such lovely weather. neutral I won't be long. No more than ten minutes. Why don't you go ahead and I'll meet you in the park? neutral

OK, so what do we do next.

Fine! Exciting? You look so excited about everything. What have we done that has

neutral Zina, can I talk to you about something personal? neutral As long as it doesn't take too long. neutral My boyfriend says I work too much. That I spend more time with you than with him. neutral Was he upset when you told him you had to leave this weekend? neutral He said not to bother coming back. And I said, fine, I won't. neutral

So, what did he say afterwards?

So that means... sadness ... we are done, right? You know,

neutral oh, it's love at first sight. When will you see each other again? neutral he didn't say, but he said he would call me. neutral maybe he is busy with his work. Just wait and try not to think about it too much! neutral oh, steve. Stop it! I am a bit nervous! What if he doesn't call? neutral come on, Mary, you're a total catch. I bet he will call you. Don't worry. happiness

that sounds very encouraging.

i really wish that. ... ok, let ’ s just hope the next week can

neutral What ’ s up? neutral Actually, the business trip itself was very successful. We arrived on time, we had nice conversations and we settled some important issues for the next year. neutral Sounds quite fruitful, why do you call it still a nightmare then? neutral Well, the air line lost my luggage on the return flight and then I lost my carry on bag when I was tackling with the officers in charge. I left the airport three hours later than I expected and then I was caught in a traffic jam. When I finally got home, I was totally exhausted. But I found the elevator was out of service due to a blackout. neutral This is really a sad story. Did they trace back your luggage? neutral

Yes, four weeks after that.

Yeah, after half an hour. The officer told us our bags are already at their ware

neutral But they aren't very fashionable. What about these? neutral I don't like the way they sag down. I feel like I have plumber butt in them. neutral That's the style! You just wear boxers. neutral What if someone got it in their head to give them a tug? What then? neutral You're so old fashioned! Nobody is going to pull down your pants! neutral

Well how would you know that?

Hey! They are kind of cute, actually... neutral Yeah and we could

happiness That's good. Do you live near here? neutral No, we live in the suburbs. What about you? neutral I live downtown, with my parents. neutral Do you have a car? happiness I don't need a car. I walk to work. happiness

You look pretty healthy and happy.

It is convenient and cheaper. How long does it take for your job? 1 hour on

happiness Happy anniversary, sweetheart! happiness Yes. to our first anniversary and many more to come. Cheers! happiness I'll drink to that. Thanks for making this a night worth remembering. happiness Well, it's a special day. They say if you survive the first year, the rest is smooth sailing. happiness That's good to know. Oh, listen! The band's playing our song. happiness

You wanna do some dancing, huh?

Isn ’ t there something by Elvis or Connie? disgust You

neutral Cigarette? neutral Oh, uh... Thanks. Henry, do you have a light? neutral Sorry, here. neutral Thanks. Lovely day. Pity I ’ m on duty. neutral I ’ ll stand in with you if you like. I ’ Ve got nothing else to do. neutral

No, don't be so nice.

Ok. That would be good of you, thank you! sadness ... U

neutral I'd like to call on you this weekend. I just want to a drop in for a chat. surprise Really? well, ok, you're welcome. neutral Is 5 PM. Saturday a good time for you? neutral Hmm, how about seven? I can treat you to dinner. happiness Sure, that would be great. I'll bring the wine. happiness

Ok, see you at my place around six?

It looks like it will take more than four minutes!

neutral And? neutral You hit the white ball with your cue. The white ball hits the colored balls. And you want to get the colored balls into the pockets. neutral How do you know whether you should hit the solid or the striped one? neutral At the beginning, it does not matter, but once someone gets one ball in, it is set. happiness Can I get the black ball in? happiness

Why don't you just sit and watch? neutral I've tried, but I can't stand the bald man talking so loudly in the program. neutral Then stay away.

neutral My daughter plans to quit her present job and wants to find another. She says she wants to get a better job with higher pay. neutral It seems quite normal to me. It is pretty much what I want to do. neutral But what about settling down to start a family? Doesn't anyone want to get married any more? neutral It is different now. The world is becoming colorful. Some of my friends don't feel the same pressure to marry. We all want to wait for the right moment. neutral What time is the right moment? neutral

25, according to many studies.

When we know each other, are in love with each others. That will make it easier when one

I am flattered, thank you!

Do do I? surprise You've got me at that

neutral What do you make of the case? neutral If you ask me, I don ’ t think it ’ s guilty. neutral What do you mean by saying so? neutral I mean it ’ s not his fault. neutral Oh, yeah? neutral

Why did he commit that?

He doesn ’ mention that in any way. sadness But, we cannot expect a

neutral Oh yes. Men, women, and children shake hands all the time. neutral It ’ s very simple. Men shake hands, women and children don ’ t. neutral But some women do shake hands. And now a lot of children have such good manners, they shake hands too. neutral Well, a good rule to follow is, for men you hold out your hand, for women and children, you wait and see what they do. happiness That sounds easy enough. happiness

You just need common sense! Ha ha.

Yes it seems so, doesn ’ m there. sadness Sorry! There I

sadness Oh, no. neutral Yes, Jane was quite upset about it. The manager came to apologize and we did get free dessert, but still... neutral I would think this was the least they could do. neutral In the end it was a nice evening and I got an iPad as my birthday present which I wanted for a while. happiness Great. I have also been thinking of getting one. Do you think you could ask Jane to have a quiet word with Margaret? My birthday is not that far away. neutral

Why, she's just having her baby.

Ha, ha! Well if she asked me nicely. You know...

I ’ m tired of heavy drama. neutral Are these seats okay? neutral

Hmm, not really. These two next to each other would give the whole table an overview.

Look at the name. This is our table! happiness, neutral Wow.

neutral Why don ’ t you find the information on the internet instead? neutral Sometimes it takes too long to find the exact information you are looking for. Besides, I like to read a magazine in a coffee bar sometimes. neutral Do you have an online edition of that magazine? neutral Yes, they do. But you can only access all the articles if you have a subscription. neutral Do you have a subscription? neutral

Yes. How much is it each month?

well, if that works for everybody.

You should come next Friday, we are going hiking. neutral Do you

neutral I want to improve my handwriting, and I've practiced it for several weeks, but nothing happened. You see, my handwriting is still bad. neutral Oh, come on. You know it's a long process, you have to be patient. neutral I know it, but I don't know when I can make it better. neutral A, whatever you do, the most important is perseverance. So you have to hang on there, the longer, the better. Then some day, you will find you've already made a lot of progress. happiness Yeah, you are right. I must stop complaining and stick to it every day. happiness

That ’ s great, bless yourself.

Keep up your Good work, Steven! It doesn ’ t matter how big or small they are.

happiness And my first nephew. He looks a lot like you, mum. He does. happiness Do you think so? Well, I guess. He does look a lot like me. Oh, he ’ s got Richard ’ s eyes though. happiness Yes, he does have Richard ’ s eyes.

Let's take each other by the hands.

Excuse me, but can the girl in pink sit out? neutral

neutral I suppose she's right. Does she speak English very slowly? neutral Not always. Sometimes we don't understand her. Then she has to repeat what she said. neutral It must be interesting to study English. neutral Mario and I are the best students in the class. Miss Parker says that my pronunciation is very good. neutral Is English pronunciation easy or difficult? neutral

You never know. Some people say one thing but do another, especially foreigners.

Exciting.

fear Yes, he was. I'm not imagining it.Finally, just when I got home, I turned around and looked at him.He was just standing there. He didn't smile. He just stood there. It was so obvious.What should I do? I'm so scared. Can I call the police? neutral Actually, I don't think you can call the police. Not yet at least.He hasn't done anything. And probably the police will just ignore it.But if anything happens again, then maybe you should call. fear Why can't I call the police now? He was definitely following me! neutral Of course you can call the police if you want. That's not what I mean. I'm just saying that they probably won't do anything. neutral I suppose. What can they do? I don't even know who he is. neutral

You have no choice but to try, Jenny.

You need to keep an eye open for a bit. If this keeps happening surprise

neutral Therefore, it ’ s not exaggerate to claim that had there not been religion, there would note Harvard. neutral Wow, I didn ’ t know that religion had played such an important role in Harvard history. neutral Religion has been playing an indispensible part in Harvard history as well as the U. S. neutral I finally begin to get to know Harvard. It seems that my knowledge of Harvard is rather poor. I have a lot work to do before applying for Harvard. neutral Remember that Harvard is a part of the United States. So you have to know the U. S. history and culture if you want to have in-depth knowledge of Harvard. The two are closely related. happiness

That's interesting.

Thank you very much indeed. What can we say, Mr White?

neutral I don ’ t often go for walks, but I either play sports outside-you know, tennis or badminton-or just sit in the sunshine and read a good book. neutral What do you do in winter? neutral Well, I play sports indoors quite often. If I ’ m feeling lazy, I just watch a film at home. I prefer summer to winter. neutral I think most people do. I like wearing nice, colorful clothes in summer-you know, a nice dress or skirt. It ’ s too cold for those kinds of clothes in winter. neutral Yes. I like wearing shorts in summer. My legs would freeze! neutral

Do you wear jeans much?

Do all girls wear jeans? disgust... Ugh! No way.

neutral Oh, I forget.Sorry. neutral I went to Harvard University. neutral Did you? And what course did you take there? surprise God save me! Is there anything wrong with you? Didn't I tell you? neutral I've not known.Perhaps, I've got a bad memory. neutral

You must know it by now.

You haven't gone crazy? sadness No, no. But my

neutral Yep. And I should start planning now. neutral Does everyone usually show up for your family reunions? neutral Just about. There are at least a few hundred in our immediate family alone. neutral How Ay days will the reunion be? neutral Usually it's at least five days and four nights. happiness

That must make some great fun!

That sounds pretty big... but you guys like to do everything huge.

neutral To me English is a difficult language. neutral A second language is always difficult. neutral True, but English is harder than most.It's a crazy language. surprise A crazy language? Why do you say that? neutral One letter can have several pronunciations and one word can have several meanings. neutral

That may be true in some languages, but it happens often enough in Chinese as well.

And there are no inflexions or accents over the words. 0 surprise I

neutral What did you think of the film? happiness I liked it. I thought it was great. neutral Yes, I liked it, too. Did you like the acting? happiness Yes. I thought it was excellent. Didn't you? disgust Not really. I thought it was disappointing. happiness

You had a good taste to start with.

But we both liked this one, didn't anger Well. I wasn'

surprise A physics class about the creation of the universe? That ’ s some pretty unscientific language there. Sounds more religious to me. neutral It ’ s all religion. Take the theory of the Big Bang.How is it possible that all of the stuff in the universe comes from an explosion? That ’ s no better than Atlas carrying the globe on his back or African myths about turtles and stuff. neutral Turtles? Whatever... Look, all that ’ s required for the creation of matter an imbalance of particles and anti-particles. At least, that ’ s what the math says. neutral Math, sheath. What ’ s the evidence? neutral There is evidence! You know Edwin Hubble? He ’ s the guy who in the early twentieth century was the first scientist to measure the drift of matter in the universe, thus advancing notions of an expanding universe. What would it be expanding from? Well, the Big Bang... DUH! neutral

Yeah! Anyway, how did we go so fast?

I am so sorry. But you must have been very late up today, my sweetheart... The

neutral Which film shall we see? happiness There is nothing good at the moment.Let's do something different.Would you like to go to a concert? happiness Yes, I'd love to.Here is a good one, Mozart and Beethoven.It's on the Festival Hall.Shall we go there? neutral Fine! Do you want anything to eat now? neutral No, I'm not hungry. neutral

Well, let ’ s have coffee instead.

He's short, thin and brown hair.

He's tall with long hair, blue eyes. And he is very beautiful and charming gu

neutral That ’ s both fortunate and unfortunate. It ’ s the United Nations in my class! We have people from all over the world! There are three Germans, a Pole, a Scottish, two French, an American, a Brazilian, neutral That ’ s quite the array of nationalities. Everyone in my class is from Asia, except me. There are a few South Koreans, several Japanese, Malaysian, Thai, Singaporean, Filipino, Kazakhstan, and o neutral Well, I think you ’ re pretty lucky actually. You ’ ll have the opportunity to learn so much about Asian culture. neutral I guess so, but I think it ’ s going to be hard to relate to my classmates, especially with the language barrier. I think I might change classes. neutral Don ’ t! Stay the course! Your spoken Chinese will be eternally grateful. I bet you it will even surpass mine with all that practice. neutral

Wow! How long did your study there?

Wow, your chinese really sounds very good.
