Well, thats a good idea, but I think I should probably get him something else,
likesomething he can wear.
How about a sweater? I saw a really nice one in the mall the other day. Maybe we
can go there and take a look.
OK, what store was it in?
It was at Macys. I think theyre having a sale this weekend.
Oh, thats a really nice store. I like the clothes there.
Lesson 88: WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR?
Hey Diane, what are you doing here?

Hi, Tim, how are you? Im waiting for a friend.
I heard youre going to graduate this summer. Is that true?
Yes. If everything goes alright, Ill be getting my bachelors degree in August. Then
I need to start looking for a job.
I had to do that last year. It wasnt easy. Do you have any job offers?
No, not yet. I sent out a lot of resumes, but I didnt receive many responses. Its
pretty hard to find a job right now.
Whats your major?
Psychology.
That was my major when I started college, but I switched to engineering after
thefirst year.
I think its easier for engineers to find a job.
Im not sure about that. It took me about 3 months to find a job. I finally was
ableto get a job after I put my resume on one of those job websites.
Anyway, it really doesnt matter. If I cant find a job Ill probably go back to
school to get my Masters degree.
Lesson 89: NEW APARTMENT

Hello?
Hey Gary. Whats up?
I havent talked to you in a long time, whats been happening?
Well, I dont know if you heard, I just moved into a new apartment in LA.
No, I heard you were thinking about moving but I didnt know youd already
founda place. Thats cool.
Yeah, Im really happy about it.
Do you have any roommates?
No, not this time. Its a big change for me cause Ive never lived alone.
Dont you think youll be lonely?
Not really, I have two friends who live in the same building. We all had dinner
together last night.
Are they students also?
No, theyre not students, but there are a lot of students living in the building.
Sounds like a nice place.
Yeah, I think its a good environment for learning English.
Well, Im glad to hear everything worked out.
You should come out here and visit me sometime. Theres even a pool.
That would be nice. Ill think about it.
Lesson 90: HAVE YOU FOUND A GIRLFRIEND YET?
Justin, have you found a girlfriend yet?

No, not yet.
What about Jenny?
She has a boyfriend.
Oh, I thought they broke up.
No, theyre still together.
How about that girl from work you were telling me about last year?
Who, Emily? Shes married now. She got married last month.
I see. It seems like everyone our age is married.
Yeah, its not easy.
Is there anyone youre interested in?
There is one girl I like who lives in my building. I talk to her a lot because shes
also studying English.
Whats she like?
Shes really nice. She moved here from Texas about 3 months ago.
What does she do?
Shes an accountant.
Thats a good job. She must be really smart. Have you asked her out yet?
Actually were going to dinner on Friday.
Good luck.
Lesson 91: COMPUTER PROBLEMS
Hi Jason, Sorry to bother you. I have a question for you.

OK, whats up?
Ive been having a problem with my computer. I know youre an engineer so
Ithought you might be able to help me.
I see. Whats the problem?
I have a file that I cant open for some reason.
What type of file is it?
Its a Word document Ive been working on. I need to finish it by tomorrow.
Were you able to open it before, on the computer youre using now?
Yes, I was working on it last night and everything was fine, but this morning
Icouldnt open the file.
Do you think your computer might have a virus?
No, I checked and there werent any.
OK. Im not sure whats wrong. If its possible, email the file to me and Ill see if I
can get it to open.
OK, Ill do that when I get home. Are you going to be around tonight?
Yeah, Ill be home after 8PM. Send it to me when you get a chance and Ill call
you later.
Lesson 92: DO YOU KNOW HOW TO GET DOWNTOWN?
Hi George, do you know how to get downtown?

Sure. Why are you going there?
I want to buy a new computer.
OK, are you driving?
Yes.
Go straight down this road. When you get to the second light, take a left. Then
geton the highway and take exit 52.
That sounds really complicated. Can you tell me again? Which road do I take first?
You go down this road, then at the second light, turn left. That road isMain
street.
OK, I think Ive got it now.
Why are you buying a new computer anyway? Didnt you just get one a
fewmonths ago?
Yes, but it doesnt work anymore.
Where did you buy it?
At Wal-Mart.
I think youre computer should still be under warranty. You can bring it back
tothem and theyll fix it for free.
I think youre right. I didnt think about that. I should go talk to them about it.
Where is the closest Wal-Mart?
Its about 2 blocks from here. I have to go there to get some stuff now anyway.
Doyou want to follow me?
Sure.
Lesson 93: DID YOU SEE THE NEWS TODAY?
John, did you see the news today?

No, what happened?
There was a big earthquake inSan Diego.
Oh my goodness.
The president was on the news talking about it earlier.
Was anyone hurt?
I think they said two people were killed.
Oh, thats terrible.
Yeah, I cant believe you hadnt heard about it. They were talking about it on
CNN all day.
Oh, I dont watch TV that often.
Dont you watch the news?
No, I usually read the news online, but I havent had time to turn on my computer
today.
Lesson 94: WHATS YOUR FAVORITE SPORT?
Whats your favorite sport?

I like basketball. I watch the games on TV all the time.
Whos your favorite team?
The Boston Celtics.
Theyre really good this year, arent they?
Yes. Do you like them?
Yes. Everyone around here does.
Do you think theyll win the championship this year?
Its possible. They have some really good players.
Did you watch the game last night?
A little, not the whole thing. I watched the second half though and I saw some
ofthe highlights online.
It was a great game, wasnt it?
Yeah. Do you know who theyre playing tomorrow night?
I think theyre playing LA.
Thats going to be a tough game. LA has a good team.
Lesson 95: MAKING A WEBPAGE
Hi Liz. Are you working on your webpage now?

No, Im still waiting for you to send me that image file for the homepage?
You mean you didnt get it? I sent it to you over an hour ago.
Let me check. Its going to take a second cause I have to start up my computer.
OK. Did you get it?
One second. I just have to open my web browser and check my hotmail account.
OK.
OK, here it is. I got it.
How do I find the webpage? I tried to search for it on Yahoo but I couldnt
find it.
Dont use Yahoo, use Google.
I tried that also and it didnt work.
If you go to Google and search for my name, you should be able to find it.
OK. Let me try that. I see it now.
Lesson 96: WOULD YOU MIND DRIVING?
Hey Michael, Im tired. Would you mind driving for a while?

Sorry. I would like to, but I dont know how to drive.
Really? You dont have a license? I thought everyone had a license.
No, Ive lived in cities all my life and when Im at home I usually take the subway
or bus.
I see. Do you think youll learn to drive in the future?
Yes. I plan to buy a car next year. I think you need one in the US.
Actually, now that I think about it, a lot of people in cities here take the bus
also.
Well, Id like to travel more. Ive been here for a few months already and I feel
like I havent seen anything yet.
How are you going to learn to drive? Do you want me to teach you?
No, I wouldnt want to trouble you. Ive already signed up for a class near my
house. It starts next month.
Lesson 97: YOUR ENGLISH IS SO GOOD
Thomas, your English is so good. How did you learn it?

Well, in my country everyone has to take English starting in the first grade. Ive
been taking English courses for 12 years now.
Wow, thats interesting. I remember when we took that trip last year and
visitedyour family. It seemed like there werent many people that could speak
with me inEnglish.
Oh, thats because they dont speak English that much.
But they speak it in school, right? Maybe they just didnt like me so they
didntwant to talk to me.
No, actually they liked you a lot. They told me they thought you were very nice.
They are just shy. Theyre not use to talking with foreigners. I remember when I
first came to theUS. I was really nervous about speaking with people.
I see. I thought there were lots of Americans teaching English in your country.
Yes, thats true. There are probably twice as many now as there were five years
ago, but they are mostly in the cities. My family lives in the country.
I wonder why. Personally I prefer the country to the city. Its so quiet and
peaceful.If I were to teach, I would want to teach in the country.
Do you think you would want to teach someday? I know the schools around my
town are looking for teachers, so if you want, I can call them and get more
information.
No, I dont think so. I would need to stay there for a year, and I dont think I
cantake that much time off work.
Well, if you change your mind, let me know. I think you would be a really great
teacher.
Lesson 98: GIFTS
Dorothy, what are your plans for Christmas?

Oh yes, its almost Christmas, isnt it? Im not sure what Ill be doing then.
Well, if you dont have any plans, you family could have dinner at my house.
Thats very nice of you, thanks. Have you finished your shopping yet?
No, I still have to do that. I think Ill go to the mall this weekend.
Its going to be really crowded at the mall. You should shop online.
Youre right. My family loves to read, so I can probably get them all presents
fromAmazon.com.
What do you think youll get for your wife?
Probably a romance novel. It seems like shes always reading one of those.
Dont you think you should get her something a little more expensive, like jewelry
or maybe a new computer?
Maybe youre right. Its hard buying gifts. I think my wife has everything
shewants. Maybe I should just ask her.
Lesson 99: ELECTION
Martin, who are you going to vote for?

You mean for president?
Yes.
Im not sure yet.
You should make up your mind soon. The election is next month.
Yes, I know. I hear about it every day on the news.
Im going to vote for Obama.
I think he is a good choice, but I think McCain would make a good president also.
I know. Theyre both good. Its hard to decide. McCain is older but he has
moreexperience. Obama seems to have a lot of good ideas, but some people
say he wants to raise taxes.
I heard he wants to lower taxes. Its hard to know what the truth is. Thats the
reason I really dont pay attention to politics.
Yes, it can be frustrating, but its important and its interesting to watch.
Lesson 100: BOOK CLUB

Hey John, can I talk to you for a minute?
Sure, whats up?
I wanted to let you know about a book club I joined a couple months ago. I
knowyou do a lot of reading so I thought you might want to come with me
next month.
Oh, that sounds like fun. When does the group meet?
Usually the last Saturday of the month at 9:30 in the evening. Is that too late
foryou?
No, I think thats ok. What do you talk about in the group?
Well, every month we choose a new book and then during the next meeting
wediscuss it.
What book are you reading now?
The Kite Runner.
Ive heard thats a good book. Whats it about?
It is a good book. Im almost finished. The book is about a boy who grows up
inAfghanistanduring the 1980s. Its called the Kite Runner because the
maincharacter takes part in a kite flying competition.
That sounds really interesting. Id love to come.
Ok, great. The next meeting isnt for another two weeks, so you still have time
toread the book.
