W:Lewis,Don told me that he could get you that Lady Gaga signature through a friend at work if you’re still interested in getting it.
M:Still interested in getting it?Um,I have every single Lady Gaga CD,and my wall is covered in her pictures!If I ever get a pet dog,I’ll probably name her Gaga,that’s how into her I am,so…

W:Look at those pictures!They’re fantastic!You’re so talented,James.And wow,what a cool camera!
M:It’s a Nikon D200,and it’s really easy to use.But now,I’m planning to save up for a new Olympus E1.It will definitely cost me an arm and a leg.
W:Sounds quite professional.Anyway,would you please bring your camera with you next Sunday and take some pictures of us while we’re playing tennis?
M:Sure,you got it.

M:There is just one problem,madam.Your driver’s license is no longer valid.
W:What?
M:Yes.Today is the 19th,and your driver’s license was valid through the 17th.I’m afraid we can’t accept it.Do you have another form of ID?
W:Not with me.My passport is at home,but that’s 30 minutes away.
M:I do apologize,but this is our policy.If you want to continue with your deposit,you might have to go home and get it.
W:That’s OK.I’ll just come back tomorrow with my passport.I need to try to get a new license now.Otherwise,I won’t be able to drive home!

W:Can I help you?
M:Oh,I’m just looking,thanks.Well,actually,I’m looking for something for my sister.
W:And what exactly are you looking for?
M:I don’t really know.A dress?
W:Right.Well,what color does your sister usually wear?
M:Oh,dear…
W:Okay,what color are her eyes?
M:Green.
W:OK,purple usually suits people with green eyes.
M:Oh,great,purple’s fine.
W:Now,what size is she?
M:Um,well…she isn’t very big,but she’s not particularly thin,either.
W:That’ll be a medium,then.Well,we have this rather nice silk evening dress here…
M:Good,I’ll take it.How much is it?
W:$70,sir.How would you like to pay?
M:Seventy?!Uh,by credit card,please.
W:Fine.If you could just sign…
M:Here you are.Goodbye.
W:Just a minute,sir.Here’s your receipt.
M:Oh yes,uh…can she exchange it if it doesn’t fit her?
W:Yes,but she needs to bring the receipt.

W:Young man,I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation with the gentleman who just gave you directions.
M:Uh-huh…
W:I think he must be confused.The directions he gave you are all wrong.If you follow them,you’ll have a lovely ride,but you’ll end up at the zoo.
M:What should I do,then?
W:Come with me.I’m heading in the direction where you can catch the bus you want.We’ll just continue down Gold Road here for a few minutes.
M:OK,great.Thank you.
…
W:Here we are.This is the corner of Wall Street and Gold Road,and here’s your bus stop.Take the F-1 down to the river,and get off at Riverside Road.
M:And that’s where the church is?
W:No,transfer there to the L-5 going north.The end of the line for L-5 is just across the street from Riverside Church.The whole ride shouldn’t take you more than 30 minutes.
M:Thanks.I’m glad you set me straight.Is that my bus coming down the street now?
W:Yes,it is.I hope you have exact change.The driver doesn’t give change to passengers.
M:I have quite a few quarters with me.Thanks again!Goodbye.

M:Many young girls dream of being models.Now,my first question:How were you able to make your dream a reality?
W:I actually spent my childhood being a model.My mother put me in TV commercials and other advertisements when I was just a small baby.
M:Do you think that modeling has influenced your life at all?
W:It’s difficult to say.Sometimes I feel like it’s hard to make friends when you are a model.It seems like all they care about is my looks.I travel a lot,and that also puts a lot of stress on any relationships that I have.
