11-1 Lesson 2-37-3
You're really improving. Do you want to try something a little more challenging? P
Okay. P
Listen. You're going to build up some speed and lift your left leg behind you. P
I know how to do that. P
You didn't let me finish. When you do this you are going to lean backwards not forward. P
I can't do that. P
You need to lift your leg as high as you can. First try lifting it to the side and then slowly push it back. P
Like this? P
Take your left ankle in both your hands and lift it up high. P
Ouch! I fell. P
You need some speed first. Try again. P
Am I doing it right? P
That was wonderful. P
Thank you. P
11-2 Lesson 2-38-1
Look at this gold jewelry box. Isn't it beautiful? P
Yes. It's lovely, but it's really expensive. Can you afford it? P
I think so. It will be a good idea to give it to Claire as a birthday gift. P
Claire likes glittering objects, so I think she'll like it. P
Do you think it's a good idea? P
Sure, it is, but if I were you, I would get that silver one. P
No. I think this pink one is prettier. P
What do you think of this design? P
It looks as if it will snap in my hands. P
Fine. Then how about the one that has a picture holder? P
That's not a bad idea. P
I think it's nice too. P
11-3 Lesson 2-38-2
Take a look at this ornament. It's really beautiful. P
It's really expensive, though. P
I think it's the perfect gift for Cathy. P
Since she likes sparkly things, I think it's perfect for her. P
How about this one? P
It's pretty, but I think she'll like the red one better. P
It's all right but I personally like the brown one better. P
Then how do you like the kitten shaped one? P
It looks too brittle. P
I guess you're right. Why don't you get the puppy design? She loves puppies. P
I think she will like that one. P
I agree. P
11-4 Lesson 2-38-3
Look at this music box. It's really lovely. P
It looks pricey. P
I think Cindy would love this for her birthday next week. P
She likes shiny things, so I think she'll like it. P
What do you think of this one? P
It's nice, but, personally, I like the green one better. P
It's okay, but I think the yellow one is better. P
How about the flower shaped one? P
It looks very fragile. P
You're right. Get the one that symbolizes her country. P
It's perfect. P
Yeah. P
11-5 Lesson 2-39-1
I'm beat. I feel like I haven't slept in a week. P
You should really go to bed earlier. P
People won't give me a moment's peace. They keep calling me with their problems. P
You shouldn't answer the phone. P
What if they really need me? I can't just ignore them. P
They might leave you alone if you're honest with them. P
I don't know. I really want to be there for them. P
Everyone must love you. P
Well, thanks. I really try hard to be there for my friends. P
You need to think about yourself, too. P
I'll try to get some rest. P
11-6 Lesson 2-39-2
I'm exhausted. I didn't get any sleep last night. P
You should really learn to sleep early. P
Everybody won't stop calling me. They think I'm their therapist or something. P
You should tell them that you're busy. P
What if it's an emergency? P
You should tell them what's on your mind. P
I can't say that. P
You must be a really good friend. P
Thank you. I guess I really value friendship. P
You should really get some rest. P
I'll do my best. P
11-7 Lesson 2-39-3
I am so tired. P
You really shouldn't go to bed so late. P
I was so busy on the phone. Everybody keeps calling me. P
You should have made up an excuse. P
But they're my friends. I need to be there for them. P
Well, you should listen to your body once in a while and get some rest. P
I don't think I can be that honest. P
You are too nice. P
Thanks. I guess it's part of my nature. P
You should learn to relax. You can die from lack of sleep. P
I'll try. P
11-8 Lesson 2-40-1
How do you do it, Jeff? Why is it that your class is always so quiet? P
My students like to focus on their work. P
Do you have problems with any of them? P
The majority of them are good students but a couple of them cause a lot of trouble in class. P
Oh. Do you strictly punish your students? P
No reason for that. P
You must be enjoying your job. P
Sure, I do. P
11-9 Lesson 2-40-2
Wow! Your students are always silent. P
They don't have enough time to talk because they are working. P
Do any of them cause trouble? P
Some of them don't seem to pay much attention but otherwise they're great. P
Do you discipline your students when they misbehave? P
Yes, if it's necessary. P
I see. You do have the skill to manage your student. P
Thanks. P
11-10 Lesson 2-40-3
It's amazing! Your kids are very calm and sweet. How do you manage your kids? P
They have the ability to concentrate on their duties and tasks. P
Is there any trouble between you and the kids? P
Not really. Most of my kids have good attitudes towards their elders. They respect the teachers. P
I see. Do you discipline your kids often? P
Not often, but if they do something wrong, I give them a light penalty. P
You must love your kids. P
Of course. P
11-11 Lesson 2-41-1
Hello? P
Hello? This is Esther. P
How are things? P
I'm fine. Hey listen. Do you think you can do something for me? P
Yeah. Tell me. P
Well, my family and I are going on a long retreat for a couple of weeks and I was hoping that you could look after my dog. P
Okay. Do you want me to water your plants while I'm at it? P
No, that's all right. We have a sprinkler that goes off at a certain time. P
I see. Should I gather up the newspaper then? P
No. I already told my neighbor to pick them up for us. P
Okay. I'll see you when you get back. Have fun. P
Look after my dog and thanks for your help. P
11-12 Lesson 2-41-2
Hello? P
Hello? This is Evelyn. P
How are things? P
I'm fine. Hey, listen, will you do me a favor? P
Yeah. P
Well, my family and I are going on a long trip for a couple of months. I'm hoping that you could look after my cat. P
Okay. Do you want me to water your flowers I'm at it? P
No, that's all right. We have a sprinkler that goes off at a certain time. P
I see. Should I gather up the mails then? P
No, I already told my neighbor to pick it up for us. P
Okay. I'll see you when you get back. Have fun. P
Look after my cat and thanks for your help. P
11-13 Lesson 2-41-3
Hi! P
Long time no see! It's me, Susie. P
Hey! How are you doing? P
I'm doing great. I called to ask you for a favor. Do you mind? P
Not at all. What is it? P
Do you think you could feed my puppy while I'm away on a trip? P
Yeah. Sure. What else? What about your front lawn? If you want, I can water it. P
We have a timed water device that waters every three hours, so that won't be necessary. P
Oh, okay. How about the mail? You want to me collect it? P
We already requested that and they keep it until we come back to pick it up. P
Oh. Okay. Well, have a good trip. P
Thanks. P

Oh. I'm sorry but you will need to speak to the new accounts department. P
Can I speak to her right now? P
I'm very sorry but she's in the middle of a conference right now. P
Then what time should I call again? P
I don't think it will be possible for you to speak to her any time soon. P
Okay. Then is it possible to schedule a meeting with her? P
Yeah. Sure. How about next Tuesday? P

Is now a good time to talk to them? P
Sorry, they are currently out of the office. P
Then when should I call back? P
I apologize, but Ms. Brown won't be able to speak to you today. P
I see. Then do you think I can make an appointment to speak with her in person? P
Let's see. She's available next Saturday. P
Sure. When does she have openings? P
She is available at one in the afternoon. P
That'll be great. Thank you so much for your help. P

I will put you on hold. P
Is she available now? P
Unfortunately she's out of town until next Monday. P
Then when is a good time to speak to her? P
I can't guarantee a specific time for you. P

How are you doing today sir? I'm calling from the Salvation Army. P
Oh! Hello. P
I wanted to personally thank you for your help with the Christmas seal drive last year. P
You're welcome. P
You are quite the modest gentleman. P
You give me more credit than I deserve. P
We would be greatly appreciate if you could make a donation to allow free spaying and neutering clinics for all dogs and cats. P
Yeah. Of course. I will do anything to help animals. P
Your help is greatly appreciated, Sir. P

We just wanted to call and tell you that we greatly appreciate your volunteer service last summer. P
It was my pleasure. P
You take less credit than you deserve. P
You're making me blush. P
Well, we were wondering if you'd like to contribute to our new project that is a petition to stop animals from performing in circuses. P
Sure. I'll mail a check to your headquarters. P
That is very generous of you, Sir. P

I'm good. We just wanted to make a thank you call to say we appreciate your support for last year's Thanksgiving outreach party. P
Not at all. P
You're so humble. P
It was nothing, really. P
We wanted to know if you'd like to make a donation for the children in Africa. P
