Lesson One
A:
 Laura: Sorry, Victor!
Victor: Laura! "Sorry" doesn't cut it! You were supposed to meet me right here --- forty minutes ago! You're late, as usual!
 Laura: Now! Now! What's a few minutes between friends?
 Victor: You don't get it!
Laura: (Reading a note on the bulletin board) Oh, look! I must check them out!
Victor: Hold it! We had a date!
Laura: Come with me?
Victor: No way! I hate shopping with you. You try on every dress, and it drives me crazy!
Laura: Well, it'll only take a sec. Just a tiny peek at the new fashions. Aren't you coming in?
Victor: No, thank you. I'll wait outside.

B:
Laura: Hi, Victor! I'm finished. Okay. I'm ready to go on our date.
 Victor: It's too late to catch the movie.
Laura: Give me another chance. Please!
Victor: Well, okay. I'll pick you up at 8 p.m. sharp. We'll go dancing.

C: Laura: Aha! 8 o'clock! Made it. Ready. This outfit should make up for all the times I was late. Hmmph! Now Victor's five minutes late. Who does he think he is, keeping me waiting? I went to a lot of trouble to look awesome! Twenty-five minutes already! Boy! I'm hot! ... Wait! I get it. Victor is trying to teach me a lesson...trying to give me a taste of my own medicine. Nine o'clock and he's still not here. I believe he actually stood me up!If he is not coming, I'll settle in  for the evening and change into something comfortable.(A knock at the door).
 Victor: Laura! Ready?
 Laura: Victor! Err..
Victor: I was caught in a terrible traffic jam and didn't move an inch for two hours. Boy! Even though I'm late, you're still not ready!

1.Conversations: (Find a partner and practice these dialogues.)
A:
 Victor: Laura, I have a surprise for your birthday.
 Laura: Oh, good! I love surprises.
 Victor: It's outside!
 Laura: Oh, wow! It's too big to bring inside!（They walk out of the house.）
 Victor: Okay, now open your eyes.
Laura: Oh, wow! A mobile phonefor my car! Oh, Victor! You're the greatest! I can hardly wait to begin dialing. (She starts calling.)  Hello, Mary? You'll never guess where I'm calling from.
Mary: From the phone booth?
Laura: No!
Mary: From your dad's office?
Laura: No! Certainly not! All right. I'll tell you. I'm calling from my car!
Mary: You mean you ran into a phone booth?
Laura: No. I did not run into a phone booth. I have my own mobile car phone!
Mary: Wow! That's great! Now let me take down this number. It's 732-345-2886. That's 345-AUTO!

B:  Laura:  From now on I'll receive all my calls at this new number. Now to dial all my other
friends and give them this number.
 
C: (In the weeks that followed, Laura made all her calls from the car and received them there, too. Then one day...)

     Laura: (Crying loudly) Oh, no! They towed away my phone!
  Victor: Huh?
 Laura: My mobile phone! It was in my car. They towed it away!
Victor: Don't cry! We'll go get it! There's a police station! Hang in there.
  Laura: That reminds me of my phone! Victor, hurry!

D: (At the police station)
Police Officer: There's a $75 fine. Pay that and you get your car back.
  Laura: No problem. Okay. Which credit card do you prefer?
  Police Officer: No credit cards, Miss. Just cash.
  Laura: Cash! That's gross! I don't carry gobs 7of cash!
  Victor: I think between the two of us we can come up with it.
  Laura: (Looking in her purse) Ten, fifteen, sixteen, twenty...
  Victor: I've got a twenty.
  Laura: (Counting the money in front of the police officer)
$69.75...85...90...91...92...93...98...99...$75! Whew! I made it!
Police Officer: Okay. Take this receipt to this impound lot and claim your car!
Laura: At last! Let's hurry, Victor! I can't stand it anymore! (They rush out.)
  Victor: There's the impound lot!
  Lot Guard: How can I help you?
Victor: We've come to claim the blue 1999 Toyota with the personalized "Laura" plates.
Lot Guard: Thank goodness! Now I can get back to work instead of spending all my time taking phone messages for you.
 
Lesson  Three
Long Conversations
1.Conversations: (Find a partner and practice these dialogues.)
A:
Victor: Helen, I'm so glad I was able to talk you into jogging with me.
Helen: It's a great way to stay in shape and keep fit. Just breathe in that bracing fresh air.
 Victor: Let's go.
 Helen: Is that rain I feel?
 Victor: No! Just a little morning dew.
Helen: Well, that dew is getting a little heavier. A lot heavier!
Victor: Isn't it fun getting a little we

B: Helen: (Falling on the road and the big dog runs away.)
            I must look like a fright. I even scared off the dogs.
 
C: (A car pulls up beside her.)
     Dodge: Helen, you look like you could use a lift. 
     Helen: I sure could, dad. See you later, Victor!
  Victor: Bye! (Saying to himself) Poor girl! She really had it rough8 today.
  (Sitting in the car)
 Dodge: I have to make a short detour. The agency handling the running-shoe ad campaign is having a photo shoot nearby.
D:
  Dodge: How's it going, John?
  John: Not too good, Mr. Dodge.
Helen: (Seeing two guys standing there) Wow! Those gorgeous hunk models are to die for!
John: Our female model took sick and cancelled on us. (Looking at Helen) Say! I think this young lady might fit the bill. She's even wearing the right running clothes!
  Helen:  (Looking worried) B-But... I look a mess!
John: No problem. Our stylist and makeup crew can take care of that. Besides, a touch of sweat and grime adds to the realism we want!
  Dodge:  Good luck, Helen. See you later.
  Helen: Bye, dad!
John: (He starts to take pictures while Helen is jogging.) Beautiful! Beautiful! Keep jogging! (When he finishes) Helen, you did so well today I'd like you to join us next week for our swimsuit shoot.

Long Conversations

A:
 Susan: (With a new dress on) Dad, do you notice anything?
Frank: Why, yes! I see my little baby grown up into quite a very sophisticated young lady.
 Susan: (Feeling disappointed) Oh, no! (She starts sobbing.).
 Frank: I've made over a million dollars in my life, but it'll take me at least three life-times
            to understand just one teenage girl!
 Susan: (Keeps crying).
Frank: Sue dear! What did I say?
Susan: Oh, it's not you, dad. It's Victor! He's always complaining that I'm overdressed
        and too sophisticated for him!
Frank: Overdressed?
Susan: Yes! He says I'm always wearing swim suits I can't swim in...and ski clothes I
        can't ski in...and when I wear mink he feels embarrassed about taking me to a
        sandwich shop...and...Oh dad! (Sobbing) What's wrong with trying to look nice?
Frank: Oh nothing that a little poverty wouldn't solve! You mean you dress too old for
        him?
Susan: Yes!

B: (Phone rings)
Frank: It's probably that nuisance, Victor, now! The only reason I tolerate his calling is 
        that I own many shares in Bell Telephone!
    Susan:  It's for me, dad?
    Frank: Here you go! (He gives the receiver to Susan.)
 
C: (Susan answers the phone.)
    Susan:  Hello, Victor!
    Victor: Hi, Sue! I've a chance to win the Orange County Grand Prix!
 Susan: Whatever is that, Victor?
 Victor:  It's a sports car race. I'm entering my racer in competition with the finest cars in
            Orange County!
 Susan: Oh, Victor! I didn't know you had a racing car! How thrilling! I'd love to see it!
 Victor: Okay, honey. Pick you up in a half hour to see my new car at the race track. The
            race starts in one hour.
D: (Saying to Frank)
  Susan: Dad, I'm going to a sports car race! Victor has a car entered!
  Frank: So he's thought up a new way to break his fool neck!
  Susan: (Opens the closet) Hmm...now what can I possibly wear? No, this looks too old.
            Uh-uh, this looks too sophisticated!
 (Doorbell rings)
Susan: Like it, Victor? I pieced together and accessorized  a few outfits ...chromed the buttons...redesigned the lapels... and modified the lining!
Victor:  (Looking a little surprised) Looking good, Sue! What do you say we burn a little rubber in my second car for the Grand Prix?
 Susan: (A car pulls up and they

 Victor:  C'mon! Mike's also got a racer!
 (They enter Mike's house.)
Victor: Is the Grand Prix set up, gang?
 Mike: For a half hour already!
 (A girl smirks.)
 Susan: What are you smirking at, Betty?
 Betty: Oh nothing, Sue! Your outfit is very original!
 Victor: (Showing Sue a model car) Sue, just look at this baby! Aren't these treads
             realistic?
 Susan: (Feeling angry) I'd like to tread all over you, Victor!
 Victor:  But, Sue! I named this beauty "Susan" after you!
 Susan:  Oh? That's sweet of you, Victor! Enjoy your race!

Long Conversations
A: 
 Victor:  Hey, Mike! Where are you off to?
 Mike:  I'm heading for the Price Chopper. I do a lot of the family shopping since my mom got a part-time job.
 Victor:  Can you give me a ride? I want to get some drinks.
 Mike:  Sure! Let's go!
 Victor:  Do you enjoy shopping?
Mike:  Enjoy? I don't mind admitting I hate shopping almost as much as I hate algebra.
  Correction! I hate shopping even more than I hate algebra.
Victor:  Yipes! A loose shopping cart!

B:  (They walk in from the entrance.)
Mike:  Today I'm proud of myself. I remembered to bring along my shopping list.
Victor:  You're becoming an experienced shopper!
Mike:  Gosh! Wrong shopping list!
Victor:  I'm sorry to hear that.
Mike:  But it's okay! I'm sure I can remember most of the six or seven items that my mom wanted me to pick up.
Victor:  Watch out for the cart, Mike!
Mike:  Thanks! You know, as I scamper through the aisles I can always successfully avoid the flying carts of my fellow shoppers.
Victor:  Whew! That was close!
      
C:  (They move up and down the aisles.)
Mike:  Victor, you see! I manage to pick up what I want in record time!
Victor:  Great! Let's head for the express line. Everyone knows express lines move much faster than regular lines.
 Mike:  All right!
 (They get in line.)
Mike: Unfortunately, this express line doesn't move at all!
 Cashier:  (Shouting) Price check on Munchy Cereal and Florida Grapefruits!
 Customer:  Now where did I put my checkbook and store coupons?
 Victor:  The next line has one shopper. Let's switch lines!
 (After switching lines)
 Mike:  Holy cow! Her cart looks like Mt. Everest! (Thinking of switching lines) Good grief! It's too late to go back to my original line. By now the line is three times as long as it was before!
 
D:  (At the check-out counter)

Female Customer:  Sure!
(A few minutes later)
 Mike:  Miracle of miracles! I managed to get back to my cart just as it's my turn to be totaled! I'm here.
 Female Customer:  Computer break-down !
 Mike:  Computer break-down?
 Female Customer:  Not to worry. It never takes more than a half hour to clear up!
 Mike:  A half hour?! But you have only one more item to total. Can't you do it in your head?
 Female Customer: Sorry, sir. We're not allowed to.
 (Finally the computer kicks in and Mike's agony is gone.)
 Bagger:  Paper or plastic, sir?
Mike:  Ellen!
Bagger: Hi, Mike!
Mike:  (Saying to Victor in a low voice) She's the new girl in my history class, the one I've been dying to meet!
Bagger:  Are you going to the school dance this Friday?
Mike:  Uh, I am, if you are.
Bagger:  Then I guess I'll be seeing you at the dance, Mike!
Mike:  Count on it! (He waves good-bye to Ellen.) Oh, wow! Oh, wow! What was I
        saying to myself before I met Ellen? Oh, now I remember. I can't think of anything
