Lesson 1  Making plans
Jim, Let’s start making our plans for vacation.
But I don’t get my vacation until July. That’s not for six months..
And six months is not a very long time. Before you know it, July will be here and we won’t be prepared.
Well, where do you want to go 
I don’t know. Maybe we should go to a tourist agency and get some travel folders.
That’s a good idea. I’ll get some in June.

It isn’t as easy as that, Phyllis. I like the job I have now very much. The people in my office are very nice and my work is interesting.
What about the salary  Would you get more money  That would influence me if I had to make a choice.

That’s a fine idea. I enjoy walking around the airport.
Let’s go down to the pier, too. We can watch the big ships dock.
Some day I want to take a trip by boat.
I’d rather fly. It’s the quickest and most comfortable way to travel.
But traveling by ship is leisurely and more restful .
That may be right, but a trip by jet plane is exciting and you have more time for sight seeing after you arrive.
It’s difficult to make a decision. But here we are at the airport.
Look! There’s a jet plane landing right now.
It’s moving so fast. Do you think it’s going to crash 
No, it won’t crash. Watch how carefully the pilot brings the plane down. Traveling by jet is quite safe.
Good. Then we’ll take a jet plane instead of a boat on our trip. We can buy our tickets right here.
What are you talking about  What trip  We’re not going any place. We’re just out for a drive, remember

Well, there’s a good love story at the Center Theater.
You know I don’t like love stories. What’s at the neighborhood movie theater 
“Amusing Adventure”,  with Robert Roberts. It’s a comedy.
Good. Let’s go there. What time does the main feature start

Well, I thought you might be able to arrange something special for your daughter, Dad.

Of course you can have it. All of my shirts are at the laundry,so I borrowed one of yours.

Lesson 2
Do you mean to tell me you don’t care for modern art  Not any of it 
That’s a very narrow-minded viewpoint. If you don’t understand it, how can you say that you don’t like it 
I just can’t imagine that the modern artist is really serious.
I won’t argue with you, but I think you’re being unfair.
Are you trying to tell me that these peculiar paintings mean anything 
You have your opinion and I have mine.
I agree there are tow sides to everything, but this time I see only one of them.
Then he should keep his feeling to himself.

How soon will you know 
I should know this afternoon. Why don’t you call me up later

Unit 6
Lesson 1
There’s nothing we can do now.
If I’d been thinking, this would’t have happened.
I see no point in standing here talking about it.
If I hadn’t gone on that trip, I wouldn’t have forgotten about it.
It’s not really your fault.
There’s no excuse for it. I had known about it for several weeks.
It’s too late to do anything now.
If we had written it down on the calendar.
But it won’t help us now.
Then we’ll go on the right day instead of a day late.

Lesson 2
May I take your order now 
Yes, I think we’re ready to roder.
I haven’t made up my mind yet.
All right. I’ll start with chicken soup. I’ll order dessert later.
And you, miss. What would you like to have 
I don’t see anything I erally like.
There are over thirty dishes to select from, miss.
There outht to be something you like.
But I onluy see food that I don’t lide. I don’t care for chicken and I can’t stand fish.
How about some other seafood 
Oysters are the only seafood I like.
I wish I could think of something for you.
May I suggest cream of tomato soup, steak with mushroom gravy, asparagus, and buttered cauliflower.
No, that isn’t my idea of a good meal.

Lesson3
Would you please read this letter of application I’ve just written 
I’d be glad to tell you what I think.
If you don’t think it’s any good, please say so.
Good! I’km interested in your advice.
I’d change the beginning. You should write about your education first.
You should include much more information about your work experience.
You’re right. I’ll change it.
You should say something about your family, too.
I agree. I appreciat your helping me.
But peasonally I believe a business legtter should end with”Bery truly yours”, not “sincerely”.
I guess I’d better tear up the letter and start over again.
Just make the few changes I suggested.

Oh! Now I know what it is! I forgot my husband!

No, France isn’t very mountainous. What kind of climate does Japan have 
But farming, fishing and industry are very important in France also.
I do feel the same way about France. Will you describe the geography of Japan 
The climate of France is generally mild.  In southern France, one can live in comfort the whole year.
It is located in the western part of the European continent . But France does have many fine harbors and port cities on its southern and western coasts.
I’ve heard a lot about Japan. That’s a very beautiful country, isn’t it 
Not every one think it’s beautiful, but to me its beauty is breath-taking.
I’d like to travel all over the world. As you describe it, France seems to be very much like Japan. I would like to see for myself.
But Japan is also an industrial center. Fishing is very important, too. Rice isn’t grown in France, is it 
Ill describe Japan’s geography. Its made up of four large islands located off the coast of Asia.
The Japanese climate is warm and moist in the south ,mild in the central part and cold in the north.
Good harbors! Japan is the largest ship-building nation in the world. France isn’t very mountainous, is it

I’m looking for a job,sir. Can you help me  
No, I haven’t graduated form college. I worked as a bank teller, but my feet hurt from standing all day.
Oh, yes, I take great pride in my work. I sometimes spent all day just cleaning my brushes. But the paint gave me headaches.
Bgut I don’t think I’m strong enough to lift those heavy trays.
I worked as a conductor on a railroad, but the movement of the train made me sick.
No, I don’t want a business career. I was a florist, but I didn’t like it. The flowers made me sneeze. Can you suggest some other kind of work 
You’ll have excdellent working conditions and a vacation every year.
Something that does’t require travel  I have a job for you as a waiter in a hotel restaurant. It’s a good paying job with many ringe benefits.
From missile experts to swimming teachers. You want a career in business, don’t you 
I can suggest many other kinds of work. But first I must find out more about your training.
You want a lob that lets you sit 
But I must know more about your experience.
You can’t lift, you can’t travel,you can’t stand yp, and flowers and paint make you sick. You need a medical doctor more than a job.

My doctor says I need an outside interest to get my mind off my work.
But it takes a long time to build a good stamp collection, doesn’t it 
I want something I can do on weekends. Do you think golf or tennis would take my mind off my job 
I don’t want to buy expensive equipment. I just want an avocation that is relaxing and enjoyable.
I’m a professional ghotogragher of movie stars. Wouldn’t that tire you out 
But I want to do something different. What is your hobby 
My hobby is stamp collecting. I’ve just started collecting stamps ans it’s a lot of fun.
Golf and tennis are very enjuyable, but they can be tiring.
But a rear set of stamps can be very baluable. I can see that you’re not interested in stamp collecting.
Your profession would make a good hobby for me.
Electronics might be fun, but you don’t want a hobby that requires a lot of expensive equipment, do you 
I’ve heard of a lot of unusual hobbies, but I’ve never heard of that one.

Lesson 2
I havent had much exercise lately. My only recreation has been watching ‘tv or going to the movies.
Lifting weights will build muscles. I don’t think I would care for that kind of activity. Have you ever gone to any ball games 
I watched a track meet on TV last night. My nephew ran the quarter mile.
Yes, I’ve been to many baseball and football games and I like to play also. Team sports are very enjoyable, don’t you think 
But all this talk about exercise has made me tired. Let’s go to the movies.
Some of my friends like to go to a gym for a workout.
I enjoy sleeping on the ground under the stars. It’s very relaxing. If you don’t use your camping equipment.
I enjoy watching baseball and football on TV, but I don’t particularly like to play these games.
I do like to sit and fish.
For recreation, I like to play tennis in the summer. My favorite winter sport is skiing.
I had to buy a tent, sleeping bag, lantern,and other supplies. I haven’t used them since.
In college, I was on the swimming team. I enjoyed that. You enjoy swimming.

Lesson 1
One is put out in the morning and the other one is published in the evening. Do you subscribe to any papers 
I only read the parts that interest me. I just glance at the headlines, but carefully read the business and sports sections.
That’s a terrible disaster. So many people were killed.
They do need a large circulation. But much of the newspaper’s income comes from advertisement.
That way I’m sure not to miss any of my favorite sections. Doesn’t the size of the daily paper surprise you 
I sold it very quickly. But a newspaper is more than just ads. I try to read the whole paper, don’t you 
Certainly they should! Newspapers must print stories about disasters. they’re part of the news of the day and people want to read about them.
The newspaper staff-the reporters, writers, editors, and linotype operators-must be busy continuously.
I buy my papers at the newsstand. But it’s nice to have a newspaper delivered to your door each day.
But since you don’t like to read unhappy news, why do you subscribe to tow newspapers  If I were you, I wouldn’t read a newspaper at all.
But I do rea the editorials and the news section. You saw the article about the earthquake in Japan.
Lesson Two
I just bought a new radio. Do you have one 
No, I havent had any trouble with my set. He’s an electrical engineer.
You have a portable, so I don’t see how your neighbor’s stereo can cause you trouble.
I often listen to the radio from the time the network stations come on the air until they sign off.
But my brother has one with a 21-inch picture tuvbe. I often visit him and watch the sports programs and the news shows.
Yes, it is enjoyable. I get good reception on my radio. What kind of radio do you have 
My radio is a portable set. I listen to the radio a lot, don’t you 
No, I haven’t been getting good reception lately.
You haven’t had any touble with your set.
Anyway, I know what’s wrong with it. When my neighbor plays his stereo, I can’t hear the radio programs.because there is too much static.
I want to buy a TV with a larger screen than your brother has. Then he can worry about the static form my TV set.
I have a radio. I’ve had one for several years. Listening to the radio is very enjoyable.
I’ve just had them checked. Anyway, I don’t want to spend a lot of money fixing it. I’m saving my money to buy an TV set.
