2-1 When
When is this auction? Is it today? P
No, it's going to be over the weekend. P
It's Thursday already. So is it tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or Sunday? P
It's on Sunday. P
Oh no, Sunday evening I'm busy. When on Sunday is it? P
It starts in the morning, 10:30am. P
Oh, that's fine. I'm free then. P
Good, write it down on your calendar. P
2-3 How
How long do you think it will take? P
I'm not sure. What do you think? P
How big are you going to make it? P
About two square meters. P
Hmm, it will probably take about a week to get started. P
Oh, maybe I should make it a bit smaller then! P
How are you going to place it in the yard? P
In the middle, a square garden in the middle of the lawn. P
2-4 Dream
When I was young, I wanted to be a diplomat. P
Has your dream changed? P
No, I still want to be a diplomat, but I've got another dream. P
What do you want to be? P
I want to be a pilot, too. P
Pilot? Wow, diplomat and pilot are two very different things! P
I know, but it's just my dream. P
You can't just dream about it! You must try your best to achieve it. P
2-5 Going Out
Are you ready to go out? P
Um, not yet. P
Then, when will you be ready? P
I think I will be ready in about an hour. P
One hour? You've just spent the last two hours getting ready! P
I know, but I can't choose my outfit. P
If I help you choose the outfit, will you be a little faster? P
Of course! You are the best. P
2-6 Bedroom
Come in. P
Excuse me. So this is your room. P
Yes, how is it? P
It's very modern. Where did you buy that white-striped coverlet? P
In the mall. P
How about this wardrobe? Did you buy this in the mall, too? P
Oh, that's the one that my father had made a long time ago. P
Really? Wow, your father is a very skillful man. P
2-8 What To Do
Do you need to go home now? P
Not really, do you? It's still pretty early. P
True. Then, what do you want to do now? P
It's up to you. I'm up for anything. P
Do you want to shoot some pool? P
Okay. Why don't we call Jessie? She's really good at pool. P
Alright, I'll give her a call. Do you have her number? P
Yes, it's saved in my phone. P
2-9 Reservation
Hello, The Mode. How may I help you? P
Hi, I'd like to make a reservation for this Saturday night. P
Sure, for what time, and how many are you expecting? P
At 7:30 pm, for a party of five, please. P
Okay. May I have your name? P
Put it under "McGregor". P
Okay, to confirm, that's five for Saturday night, under the name "McGregor". P
That's right, at 7:30pm. Thank you very much. P
2-10 Decision
So, Jessie says that we should go over to her place. P
How come? She doesn't want to come out? P
Yeah, she doesn't feel like coming out. P
Do you want to go? I think I'd prefer playing pool. P
She said she'll barbecue hamburgers if we go over. P
In that case, hamburgers sound good to me! P
Good. Then I'll tell her we're going. P
Sure, that is, only if it's okay with you. P
2-11 Dining Room
Could you pass me that salad? P
Sure, here you go. P
So, how is your work so far? P
You know what it's like to be a sculptor. P
It's a great labor, isn't it? P
That's true, but it's what I like, so I can't complain. P
I see. Umm, can I have some more mashed potatoes? P
Yes, but don't eat too much. You've been eating a lot lately. P
2-12 Theater
I will have two tickets for Harry Potter. P
I'm sorry, the seats are all sold out. P
What time is the next one, then? P
The next one is at nine. Two hours from now. P
Hmm, that's too late. Until when the movie will be running? P
It will probably be running for two more weeks. P
Okay, then I will just watch it next time. P
I recommend you to reserve ahead. P
2-13 Music
What are you listening to? Is that rock music? P
Yes, it is. Do you like rock? P
No, I prefer more mellow music. P
What kind of music do you listen to? P
I mainly listen to jazz and the blues. P
I guess we have very different tastes! P
It looks that way. But you don't strike me as a rock music type. P
You think so? I've never heard that before, nobody's ever said that to me. P
2-14 Arrival
Hello? P
Hi, Jackie, I'm just calling to tell you I finally made it! P
Made it to where? Where are you now? P
I'm at the Eaton Centre. I just got here. P
Did you enjoy your day? P
Yes, but that was quite a walk! P
Well, I hope you have enough energy left to go shopping! P
All I need is an ice-cream, to give me my strength back! P
2-15 Late
Sorry, I'm late. P
Oh, it's alright. People have just come, too. P
There was some problem at the gate, so I couldn't come in. P
Really? What happened? P
My name was not on the list, so he wouldn't let me in. P
I'm sorry, I must have made a mistake. P
It's okay. When I showed him an invitation card, he let me in. P
I see. Next time I will never make a mistake like that. P
2-17 Height
Did you wear high-heeled shoes? P
No, why? P
You are very tall. I thought you wore high-heeled shoes. P
Everyone tells me that I'm tall, but actually I'm not that tall. P
Really? How tall are you? P
I'm just 168cm. P
I think that's tall enough for the woman's height! P
I don't agree with you. I want to be at least 173cm! P
2-18 Location
We've been trapped in this traffic jam for about an hour, now. P
This is the rush hour. We should have taken the subway. P
Apart from this traffic, I don't even know where we are going. P
I know the place. Just go straight. P
Ok, then? P
When you reach the first crossroads, turn left. P
2-19 Hobby
What's your hobby? P
These days, I dabble in photography as a hobby. P
So did you take these pictures on the wall? P
Some of them are my work. P
I see, I've once got an interest in painting. P
Really? Then what's your new interest? P
I'm starting to have an interest in dancing. P
Dancing? That's cool! P
2-20 Personality
You are so quiet. Why aren't you talking? P
I'm an introvert, so I don't talk much. P
.Oh, I see. I'm very different from you. I like talking. P
Yeah, I can see that. You seem to be a very outgoing person. P
But when I'm alone, I become very quiet. P
Hey, who doesn't? P
One of my friends still talks even when he's alone. P
That's abnormal. P
