14-1 Lesson 3-12-3

Hey! Speed up and finish your essay. P

Okay, I will. However, I can't miss my favorite episode of "Friends". P

Why can't you be more diligent in your tasks? P

I don't know. Don't worry about it. I'll do it eventually. P

If you are not going to finish your assignment, I am not going to play hide 'n seek with you. P

No. You can't do that. I will finish it. P

Sure. Speed up! P

I am. P

14-2 Lesson 3-13-1

Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow? P

Yes. I would love to. P

What would be the best time? P

I get off of work at six o'clock. I think seven would be best. P

Okay sounds good to me. Where would you like to go? P

Hmm, I don't know. You decide what we eat. I don't mind. I eat anything. P

Well, I've actually been craving some sushi. I hear there's a new sushi place on Ninth Street. How about we go there? P

I would really love that. I can't wait! P

14-3 Lesson 3-13-2

Hello, how would you like to have dinner with me on Wednesday? P

Yes, of course. It would be my pleasure. P

What time would be best? P

Well, let's see. I'll be done with my tennis lessons at five o'clock. I think I can be ready by six-thirty. P

Sounds great! Where should we go? P

I don't have any particular place in mind. Why don't you just pick a place? I'm fine with just about anything. P

Do you happen to like Italian food? There's this nice little pizzeria called Luciano's. P

They have very delicious food: pizza, pasta, and all sorts of other things. Would you like to go there? P

Sounds great! I can hardly wait! P

14-4 Lesson 3-13-3

Would you join me for dinner on Sunday? P

Sure. I'd love to. P

What time are you available? P

Well, my class ends at four-thirty. I will need an hour and half to get ready, so I think six o'clock will be best. P

Okay! That's a really good time for me too. Where do you want to go? P

Well, I'm not very familiar with this side of town. I don't know many restaurants in the area. P

I think you should just decide for us. I eat pretty much anything. P

I actually feel like having some Thai food. Have you ever tried it? P

There's this little family-style Thai restaurant called the Golden Dragon in Downtown. It's very good. Would you like to go there? P

Wonderful! I'm so excited! P

14-5 Lesson 3-14-1

What time should we meet on Sunday? P

How about one thirty? P

Don't you think that would be too late for the play? P

Then, one o' clock? P

Yeah, I think that would be much better. P

What time does it start? P

It's supposed to begin at two, but I think it starts a little bit later than scheduled. P

Ok. I'll see you later. P

14-6 Lesson 3-14-2

What time do you want to meet on Tuesday? P

How about one twenty? P

Don't you think that's a bit too late for the game? P

Then, twelve thirty? P

I suppose that would be enough time. P

When does it begin? P

I think it starts at one forty five, but you must consider the fact that we don't have the tickets yet. P

We're going to have to stand in line, buy a ticket, and then stand in another line! P

All right, I'll meet you there. P

14-7 Lesson 3-14-3

Around what time should we meet each other on Wednesday? P

Hmm, I think one-fifteen would be okay. P

I think we would be running late. P

How about twelve fifty? P

That's much better. We'll meet at that time. P

What time does it begin? P

I heard it's around one thirty. We still need to get tickets and stand in line. We have a long wait ahead of us. P

Ok. See you soon. P

14-8 Lesson 3-15-1

Hi, what do you need? P

I'm looking for a dress. P

They're hanging on the racks in the back of the store. P

Um, about how much do they cost? P

Well, it all depends on the brand and material. P

I see. Well, I'm not looking for anything fancy. I want a simple, yet elegant dress I can wear to prom next week. P

I see. Why don't you check the sales rack? You might find something there. If you look at the racks over in that corner, everything is twenty-five percent off. P

Oh, that's wonderful! I'll go over there right now! P

Okay. Good luck with finding what you need! P

Oh, I almost forgot...I also need a tie, how much do they go for? P

Well, just like everything else, it all depends. P

Can they be found on the sale rack as well? P

Of course. There are three racks with nothing but ties there. P

Okay. I guess I'm all set then. Thanks again for your help! P

No problem. Feel free to come get me if you have any more questions. P

14-9 Lesson 3-15-2

Hi, may I help you? P

I need to buy formal clothing. P

Oh, they are over there, behind the suit racks. P

How much? P

It depends on the quality. P

I'm not looking for anything special. Something that's simple, yet formal will do fine. I need it for an awards ceremony tomorrow night. P

Really? Did you look at the sales racks over there? We're actually having a sale right now. Everything there is thirty percent off. We have plenty of things there. P

That sounds just like what I'm looking for. Thanks for your help! P

All right. I hope you find what you want. P

Oh, can I ask you one more question? I was wondering how much blouses cost here? P

Just like all the other items, it depends on the brand and material. P

Can I find some in the clearance section? P

Sure. There are two racks dedicated to them. P

All right! I'm ready then! Thanks so much! P

My pleasure. If you happen to have any more questions, feel free to ask! P

14-10 Lesson 3-15-3

Hello, you look a little bit lost. Would you like me to assist you? P

I'm looking for dress shoes. P

Let me show them to you. P

What's the price range? P

That depends on the manufacturer. P

I see. Well, I'm not looking for any expensive name brand things. I'm just looking for something formal to wear to a wedding. P

You're in luck. If you look around the corner we have a lot of things in the sale department. P

Our store is having a clearance sale this weekend. Everything is fifty percent off. P

I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for there. P

That's exactly what I was looking for all along. Thanks. P

Okay. You're all set then. I really do hope you find what you're looking for. P

Miss, how much do bow ties go for in your store? P

Well, it varies just like everything else in the store. P

Would I be able to find some in the back of the store? P

Yes, of course. We just set up a large rack this morning. P

Okay! Thank you for your assistance! P

Don't mention it and don't be afraid to come get me if you need any more help. P

14-11 Lesson 3-16-1

Hmm, not bad. I'll take it. P

14-14 Lesson 3-17-1

Hi. I would like to reserve some tickets to the jazz concert on Thursday. How much do children's tickets go for? P

Ten dollars on the weekdays, and fifteen on the weekends. The special events are an exception though. P

Okay. That sounds good. I would like to reserve two tickets for my children. P

That will be twenty dollars. May I help you with anything else? P

Yes please. I want to also reserve three general admission tickets. P

Adult tickets go for fifteen dollars for weekday events. That will bring your total to sixty five dollars. P

A forty, a twenty, and a five dollar bill. There you go, sixty five. P

Thank you. Here is your receipt. P

Thank you. Enjoy your day! P

14-15 Lesson 3-17-2

Yes. I would also like to purchase three adult tickets for the concert. P

General Admission tickets are fifteen dollars for weekday events. Your new total is sixty five dollars. P

Here is sixty five dollars. P

Okay. You're all set! Don't forget your receipt! P

Thanks a lot! Enjoy the rest of your day! P

14-16 Lesson 3-17-3

We usually charge ten dollars on weekdays and fifteen on weekends. But during the special events the price may vary. P

Can I reserve two tickets? P

No problem. That will be twenty dollars. Is there anything else I can do for you today? P

Can I also reserve three general admission tickets please? P

Thank you, I appreciate it! Have a nice day! P

14-17 Lesson 3-18-1

Hi! I want to sign up for an aerobic workout class. How much is the monthly membership fee? P

The membership costs a hundred dollars for two months. P

That's a bit too much for me. P

However, if you register for three months, you can get ten percent knocked off. P

Then it gets cheaper. P

Yes, but we have an even better deal. For a limited time, you can take advantage of our twenty percent off six month program. P

I see. P

How do you want to pay? P

I have a VISA credit card. That means I get thirty percent off my fees, right? P

Right! You have to decide right now though. Which will it be? Do you want three months or six months? P

Both sound really good, but I can't really decide right now. I'm just going to sign up for one month and see what the classes are like before commiting myself long term. P

Ok. You have a deal. P

14-18 Lesson 3-18-2

Hello. I'd like to register for the kickboxing class. Can you tell me the monthly fees? P

The membership is three hundred dollars for eight weeks. P

Wow. That's expensive. P

We are currently having a great promotion! If you sign up for the six month plan, you can get a twenty percent discount! P

Is there a big difference though? P

Of course, but hold on! If you sign up for one year, you can get an additional five percent more off the regular price. P

Sounds good. P

Are you going to pay with credit card or cash? P

I have an American Express card. So, do I get thirty percent off my membership fees then? P

That's correct! But you need to take advantage of this deal right now! Will you take one year, or just go with the six months? P

They both sound like great deals, but I think I'm going to really enjoy the classes. So, I will go with the longer commitment. P

No problem! I think you made a very wise decision! P

14-19 Lesson 3-18-3

Hi. I'm interested in signing up for the salsa dancing class. What are the monthly membership rates? P

The class membership fee is one hundred fifty dollars for four weeks. P

Ouch! I have to think about it. P

You might be in luck. If you're interested in a slightly longer commitment, we do have a special deal for you. P

We give thirty percent off your fees if you sign up for the three month program. P

I really don't know. I need some time to think about it. P

Yes, indeed, but if you're willing, we do have an even better deal for you. P

If you sign up for a six month commitment, you can even get twenty percent discount from the normal price. P

Okay. P

What is your payment method? P

I'll pay with my credit card. I get a whole thirty percent off from the regular fees right? P

Wow, I can take the classes paying only seventy percent of the regular price! P

Right! So are you going to take advantage of the six month plan, or just go with the three months? P

I think I'm going to go with the three month program. P

It seems long enough to get used to the class, but short enough to pull out if I decide not to continue. P

Good. I think you're very wise for choosing the plan you feel most comfortable with. P

14-20 Lesson 3-19-1

Wow! This skirt is way too expensive! But it is really pretty! P

They are eighty-two dollars and seventy-three cents including tax. P

I see. Oh, these are even prettier! How much are these? P

Those are little more expensive than the other ones. They're one hundred dollars and eighty-seven cents. P

Wow! So pricey! However, they are much prettier than the other ones. P

Of course. P

I see. Well, I think I'll come to buy the others next time. P

No problem! I think you made a very good decision! P

Thank you so much for your help! See you around! P

You're welcome! Come again! P
