Dialogue 1
W: Um, which of them is the better typist?
M: Well, Mary types faster than Jones. But I think Jones types more carefully.
W: Is there any difference in their short hand?
M: Jones can certainly take down letter more quickly, but Mary’s short hand is the best in her class.
W: How about languages?
M: Both of them speak excellent French. But I think Mary speaks German more fluently than Jones does.
W: Um. That doesn’t really matter. Because we have more French visitors than German.
Dialogue 2
M: 15 hours overtime? That can’t be right.
W: It is. You see, I work harder than you do, George.
M: Rubbish! You don’t work harder than me. I work faster than you.
W: Well, perhaps I’m a bit slower, but I think I do my job better.
M: Ah, you don’t know anything about my work.
Dialogue 3
M: All right. But these are black and I don’t like black shoes. They’re dull.
W: Well, black is a better color than pink. Pink’s for girls.
M: Then why are you wearing black shoes?
W: Because…oh, all right. You win. Let’s pay for them and go.
M: Hey, thanks, mum.
Dialogue 4
W: I want to change my job.

Dialogue 5
M: They’ll do the operation for you this Friday.
W: But Saturday is my birthday.

M: But your health is more important. Believe me!
Dialogue 6
W1: I’m so excited, mother. Oh, a new baby!
W2: My first grandchild.
W1: And my first nephew. He looks a lot like you, mum. He does.
W2: Do you think so? Well, I guess. He does look a lot like me. Oh, he’s got Richard’s eyes though.
W1: Yes, he does have Richard’s eyes. The baby even looks like you than Richard does.
W2: Well, children usually resemble their parents.
W1: It’s true. Michelle is a lot like Henry in so many ways. And she is shy with new people just like he is.
W2: You often like comparing children with their parents.
W1: You’re right.
My father is one of the greatest men in the world. He is as strong as an ox. He can climb the highest mountains; he can swim the widest rivers. He is as brave as a bull, too. He can ride the wildest horses and catch the most dangerous criminals. He is the best story teller in town. He knows everything. My father is as busy as a bee at work. His boss says nobody works harder than my father. At home, my father is as quiet as a mouse. My mother says my father is as stubborn as a mill. Sometimes she says he is as sloppy as a pig, too. I don’t understand what she means by that. He takes out the trash every time she tells him to.
