Dialogue 1
B的房客給B帶來了很多麻煩，A對(duì)B表示同情，并建議B直接找房客談一談。
A: Are things still going badly with your houseguest?
B: ⑴It’s getting worse. Now ⑵he’s eating me out of house and home. I’ve tried talking to him but it all goes in one ear and out the other. He makes himself at home, which is fine. But what really ⑶gets me is that yesterday he walked into the living room ⑷in the raw and I had company over! ⑸That was the last straw.
A: Jim, I really think *you’re beating around the⑹bush with this guy. *I know he used to be your best friend in college, but I really think it’s time to lay down the law.
B: You’re right. Everything is probably going to come to a head tonight. I’ll keep you informed.

B: (2)Yeah? I guess so. I spent the weekend at beach.
A: That’s great. Where did you stay?
B: Some friends of my parents live out there, and they invited me there.
A: ⑶So, what did you do ⑷out there? I mean besides ⑸bask in the sun, obviously.
B: I ⑹jogged ⑺up and down the beach and played volleyball. You know I never realized how hard it is to run on sand. I couldn’t ⑻get through a whole game before I had to sit down.
A: Not to mention cooler. Did you go swimming?
B: I wanted to, but the water is too cold, and I just wetted in up to my knees.
A: It all sounds so relaxing. I wish I could get away to the beach like that.
B: It looks like you could use it. ⑼*Don’t tell me you spent the weekend in the library again.

Small Talk 1:
Becky: So Dick, how about getting some coffee for tonight?
Dick: Coffee? I don’t honestly like that kind of stuff.
Becky: Come on, you can at least try a little, besides your cigarette.
Dick: What’s wrong with that? Cigarette is the thing I go crazy for.
Becky: Not for me, Dick.
