What seems to be the man’ s problem?W: What’ s going on between you and Charlie? Did you have a fight or something?
M: No, but I can’ t stand him anymore. He is the worst roommate I’ ve ever had. He never cleans up after himself and he is always listening to loud music when I try to get some sleep.
W: Why don’ t you have a heart-to-heart talk with him?
M: I’ ve tried, but it didn’ t work. Maybe you can talk to him. After all, you are his good friend. Keeping his room clean every day. Getting along with his roommate. Having trouble making friends.

What do we know about Steve?M: Hi, Sue, it’ s me.
W: Well, hello, where have you been all day, Steve? Mr. Smith asked me this morning where you were but he didn’ t seem to be looking for you or anything.
M: What did you say?
W: I told him that I didn’ t know. He seemed very busy as manager always are. Are you OK?

Why does the man have the talk with the woman?W: OK, tell me about yourself.
M: Well, last year in school I played on the football team. It kept me busy, but I learned to manage my time. And also it has been a great experience in learning how to work on the team with other players.
W: How would your teachers describe you?
M: My teacher would say I work hard to get homework done on time and I’ m not afraid to ask for help if I need it. They’ d also tell you I’ m friendly to any classmates.
W: Well, why should I hire you over the other 8 students?
M: I think I’ m the very person you can rely on. I’ll love to work on time and do the best I can on the job. Besides, I’ ve done volunteer work and now I’ d like to gain actual work experience. If you hire me, you’ll get someone who is always willing to learn. To get into a school. To join a sports team. To get a job.

What does the Go Group do?Hello, everyone, my topic today is about the power of a smile. There’ re a number of sayings about the power of a smile. Peace beings with a smile. A smile means welcome everywhere. Life is short but a smile only takes a second or goodbyes. But it may not be as simple as that. According to a new research, if you want to make a good impression when you meet people, it’ s not just that you smile. It’ s how you smile. The study was carried out by the Go Group, a business support organization in Scotland in the UK. It looked at people’ s responses to different smiles. They found that the responses differed greatly. Through this study, they say people should avoid three types of smiles. The first is the Top Fan, very wide or teeth showing, possible evidence that you can have too much of a good thing. Then there is the Big Freeze, a fixed smile that looks practiced and insincere. Finally comes the Robot, a small thin smile lacking in warmth. The group also warns against smiling too quickly, saying it can make you look false. The best smile, they say, is slower and flows naturally across the whole face. Offer support to businesses. Promote peace in the world. Do research on education in the UK.

What are the two speakers talking about?M: Hi, Susan. How are you? I’ ve been wondering when I’d run into you. What are you busy with?
W: Nice to meet you here, Tim. I’ m buying some Christmas gifts for those who work with me, but it’s really a headache.
M: Maybe I could give you some advice. Firstly, you’ d better divide them into different groups—who were the people that are your friends as well as your workmates and who are the people you do not know well but you see pretty much daily.
W: OK, then what should I do?
M: For the friends, you want to get them personal gift. Do they like chocolate?
W: This is what I always give, but I know Mary is on a diet.
M: Does she like fruit or coffee? Anyway, think of the gift that you know your friend likes.
W: Well, I think fruit is helpful to keep fit. What about the rest of them?
M: Leave cards in their mailboxes or on their desks.
W: Christmas cards?
M: Yes, you can afford that. More importantly, it’ s true of them that you’ re thinking of them.
W: Thank you for your suggestion, Tim. You really have saved me and my money as well. Buying holiday presents. Making a Christmas plan. Sharing opinions on friendship.
