train_3017 | #Person1#: Ms. Green, are the schools more or less similar everywhere throughout the United States, or do they differ in various sections?

#Person1#: Do most students in the United States attend private schools or public schools?
#Person2#: Most public schools in the United States are very good, and the majority of students attend the public schools.
#Person1#: Which students go to private schools, then?
#Person2#: Children needing special instruction. Children whose parents can offord to send them to private schools, and children whose parents want them to receive a religious education.
#Person1#: But are the public schools good everywhere?

#Person1#: Dose it cost anything to attend the public schools? Are there any restrictions as to who may and may not attend?
#Person2#: The public schools in the United States are free to everyone and there is no cost to the student. In most states, even the textbooks are free.

train_3792 | #Person1#: You are married to a foreigner, huh? So what's it like?
#Person2#: Well, the first year of our marriage, we had great difficulty getting along. The things that are important to me are not important to him. We had a lot of conflicts.
#Person1#: Yeah, I know what you mean. The first year of any marriage is difficult for all couples, not to mention two people from different cultures.
#Person2#: And now we have a two-year-old boy. We're very happy that he's healthy and smart.
#Person1#: Oh, so he's half Chinese and half American. That's unusual. What languages does he speak, then?
#Person2#: Right now he speaks mostly Chinese, and he can say a few English words. But he will learn.
#Person1#: What does he look like? Can people tell?
#Person2#: Yes, people surely can. He's whiter than the Chinese kids, and his hair is a little blonde. My husband says his eyes are very Chinese though. | #Person2# tells #Person1# marrying a foreigner can be hard because of conflicts by cultural differences. #Person2# also tells #Person1# their son is half Chinese and half American and how he looks. | a marriage | [

#Person2#: Mom, I really don't have time to work this summer. I am going to go to summer school and I need to practice skateboarding. Also I want to go to the lake with Jeremy.
#Person1#: Well. How are you going to pay to go to the lake? You are getting too old for us to give you money. You're not a young kid anymore. Also, college is very expensive these days. You should start saving money now. College is only 3 years away.
#Person2#: OK, I'll apply for some jobs this weekend. Can you help me fill out job applications?
#Person1#: Yes, I will help you, you should get an application from the supermarket on Walnut Street. Miss Jacobs told me they are hiring students this summer. | Sam's mother wants Sam to get a summer job and save money for college. Sam refuses at first but later gets persuaded.

#Person1#: A dark suit. White shirt. A tie. Why?
#Person2#: Perhaps that had something to do with it.

train_10714 | #Person1#: Welcome back. Now we'd like to introduce Mr. Dong, Who was an English teacher before coming to Britain.
#Person2#: I'm a language teacher at the Jiaotong University in Shanghai. This university keeps up close relations with some British universities, among which is Oxford University. My university and Oxford have an exchange program. Every year Jiaotong University sends several teachers to Oxford; Oxford sends a few professors to Jiaotong. They go to Jiaotong mostly for a few lectures, staying only a few weeks. The Oxford University supplies Chinese teachers with 810 pounds each month. It is all the money I have to cover all my expenses. Although I do not have much money, I'm still happy that I have the opportunity to study in Britain. Being an English teacher in China, I, of course, do not have to pass the IELTS.
#Person1#: Finally we want to introduce Mr. Yuan, who is financing his studies out of his own pocket. He wants to graduate in Oxford.
#Person3#: Neither the Chinese nor the British government is financially supporting me. My parents paid me the flight from Beijing to London. In Britain I have relatives that came to Dover via Hong Kong about ten years ago. They give me 500 pounds each month. That is of course not enough to survive. So I get a part-time job in a Chinese restaurant and earn about 400 or 500 pounds per month. I also had to pass the IELTS in order to study at a British University.
#Person1#: Thank you, Mr. Yuan. Wang, Zhu, Dong and Yuan, four different people and their different ways of financing their studies in Great Britain. In our next edition of Overseas Students at British Universities we will talk about students from the Far East. Until then. Goodbye. | #Person1# is the host and introduces Mr. Dong, who is an English teacher, and Mr. Yuan to the audience. Dong has the chance to study in Britain through a program and financed by Oxford University. Yuan finances his studies out of his own pocket. | finance studies | [

train_1507 | #Person1#: If I remember correctly, time of delivery is another point in which we differ.
#Person2#: That's right. Let's go into details of it.
#Person1#: Ok. I hope you can have these goods delivered before the end of September. We'd like them to be ready in time for our Christmas sales.
#Person2#: Christmas doesn't come until the end of the year, does it?
#Person1#: No. But in the United States, the Christmas season begins about a month before December 25.
#Person2#: Well, I'm afraid a little bit difficult for us to advanced the time of shipment. Our manufacturers are fully committed at the moment.
#Person1#: I hope you can try to get them to step up production.
#Person2#: They are already working three shifts a day to step up production as new orders keep pouring in.
#Person1#: If that's the case, there's nothing to be done about it.
#Person2#: I'm sorry.
#Person1#: What's your last word as to the delivery date then?
#Person2#: By the middle of October. This is the best we can do.
#Person1#: All right. I'll take your words at that.
#Person2#: Good. Let's call it a deal. And we'll do our best to advance the shipment, but your letter of credit should be opened early September.
#Person1#: I promise. | #Person1# wants the goods to be delivered by the end of September. #Person2# tells #Person1# it's difficult to advance the shipping time because the manufacturers are busy. They finally reach an agreement to ship by the middle of October. | shipment | [

As I said in my email, we can help you with production according to your needs, but we will only be able to give insite management support services on a limited basis.
#Person2#: Oh, yes. I reviewed your estimate. But it seems like the project blueprint you sent with the estimate is not quite what we had in mind. Did you get a copy of the specs for this project?
#Person1#: Yes, I have several copies, but they're all different versions. . . The latest I have is version 12, is that current?
#Person2#: No. Later we decided to opt for the prior outline, version 7.
#Person1#: Hold on, let me pull up your version 7 requirements. . . Oh yes, no wonder our estimate is a little different from what you had in mind. I see the version 7 also includes 6 additional hostesses and a cocktail self-serve bar that wasn't in the version 12. That will definitely add to your cost on this project. . . | Ms. Patterson finds Bill's estimate for the gala dinner project is not quite what they had in mind.

#Person2#: Our country is a free trade nation. She was mainly agriculture and rather a backward country and now has developed into a modern highly industrialized state with an expanding economy. Parallel to this, her dependence upon foreign trade has increased. Increased output generates a greater need for raw materials, semi-finished products and capital goods. Thus, in many fields, our country is an important and growing market for exporters from other countries. But this doesn't mean that our country is an easy market, because of a liberal import policy and the high standard in our market is keen.
#Person1#: Well, what about price?
#Person2#: The price factor can be a useful instrument for exporters when trying to place their products in industrialized countries. Of course, marketing goods abroad is not only a question of price. There are also other important factors such as design, quality of goods, terms of sale, transport and insurance. | #Person2# describes the investment environment and the price of #Person2#'s country to #Person1#. | the country's investment environment | [

#Person1#: So, is it actually paper at this stage?
#Person2#: Yes, it is. But we need to take out more water. So it then passes through a series of rollers, where more water is squeezed out. After that it goes through the dryers, which are at a very high temperature. The paper is then coated.

#Person2#: Well, that's not possible. The computer's official student account has already been sent to the state. And that's what our budget is best on. Who told you that anyway?
#Person1#: Some woman here when I tried to register three weeks ago. She said I just had to pay a late fee.
#Person2#: She must have been a temporary worker. They don't have much training. Why didn't you register then?
#Person1#: She said I couldn't until I had my birth certificate. Here it is.
#Person2#: Your birth certificate?
#Person1#: Well, I'm a new part-time student. So she ask for identification. I don't drive so I don't have a driver's license.

#Person1#: But that's no fair.

#Person2#: Yes, thanks. We had a great time. And some friends went with us.

#Person2#: No. This morning. You'll think we were mad. We got up at 4:30, left at 5 and arrived here at 9. I'm so tired. What about you? Did you have a good weekend?

#Person2#: I wonder if we can make payment for this order by documentary collection.
#Person1#: I'm sorry to say the only term of payment we can accept is 100 % irrevocable letter of credit payable against shipping documents.
#Person2#: But our order this time is very large. To open an L / C for such a large amount at a bank is costly. Can you be a bit more flexible and bend the rule a little?
#Person1#: I'm afraid not. We insist on a letter of credit, because as seller, we also have the problem of funds being tied up.
#Person2#: To be frank, a letter of credit would increase the cost of my import. When I open a letter of credit with a bank, I have to pay a deposit. That will tie up my money and add to my cost.
#Person1#: Consult your bank and see if they will reduce the required deposit to a minimum. | #Person2# wants to make payment for the order by documentary collection to decrease the cost of the import but #Person1# refuses and suggests consulting #Person2#'s bank and seeing if they will reduce the required deposit to a minimum. | negociation | [

#Person1#: How do you do that?

#Person1#: You don't have much money for fun, do you?
#Person2#: That's time! I stick to my budget carefully so I don't have to borrow. I don't like to owe people money. I hardly ever go to movies. My roommates and I usually rent videos, and split the cost, so it's cheaper.
#Person1#: How else do you save money?
#Person2#: I don't go to restaurants. I make meals with my roommates so it's cheaper to eat. I try to walk or ride my bicycle to college. Oh, and I buy a lot of my clothes at second-hand stores. You can find some very cheap, decent clothes in those stores. | #Person2# tells #Person1# #Person2# has to do part-time job to earn the rest expense for #Person2#'s college education. #Person2# sticks to #Person2#'s budget and tries to save money in watching movies, eating, transportation and clothes. | money management | [

train_5171 | #Person1#: Do you know Tom?
#Person2#: Tom what?
#Person1#: Tom Smith.
#Person2#: No. But I know a Tim Smith.
#Person1#: Oh, yes, you are right. It was Tim Smith I meant. You know what happened to him the other day?
#Person2#: No, what happened then?
#Person1#: Well, he told me he saw his dead grandfather in London.
#Person2#: Oh, come on. You are not telling a ghost story, are you?
#Person1#: But he told me it was true. You see, his grandfather used to be an army officer during the war. And because he didn't return home after the war, everybody thought he had been killed in the war.
#Person2#: But then, he suddenly appeared alive, like in those films.
#Person1#: Exactly. Tom, oh no, Tim, told me that by chance he saw an old man at the railway station selling newspapers. And he was surprised to see someone like his grandfather in a picture he had seen. So naturally he went to the man and asked him whether his name was Smith. And the man, I mean, his grandfather, said yes, and after that everything happened just like a film.
#Person2#: Amazing. But why didn't the old man go back to his hometown after the war?
#Person1#: Well, that's another long story. I'll tell you later. | #Person1# shares with #Person2# Tim Smith's surprising story that Tim accidentally met his grandfather in the railway station who was thought to be dead during the war. | a surprising story | [

train_10649 | #Person1#: Excuse me, I'd like to buy a guitar. Could you recommend one?
#Person2#: Sure. Do you want an acoustic one or an electric one?
#Person1#: An acoustic one.
#Person2#: Are you looking to get a steel-string or a classical?
#Person1#: What's the difference?
#Person2#: Well, a classical guitar has nylon strings and its neck is bigger than a steel-string guitar's. It's best suited for finger picking. A steel-string is best for playing chords.
#Person1#: I'm mainly interested in learning to play rhythm guitar.
#Person2#: In that case, I'd suggest a steel-string guitar. The best one we have is the Ovation.
#Person1#: This one's a little too expensive for me. I'd prefer something cheaper for now. When I'Ve learned to play, I might get a better one.
#Person2#: In that case, how about this one? It's inexpensive but it's still well made and easy to play.
#Person1#: Hmm. All right, I'll take it, and this book on how to play the guitar as well.
#Person2#: You should also get a couple of guitar picks.
#Person1#: Oh, right. Thanks for your help.
#Person2#: Don't mention it. | #Person1# purchases a guitar, a book on how to play the guitar, and some guitar picks on the advice of #Person2#. |

#Person2#: Would you like something to drink? I've got tea and some grape juice.
#Person1#: Thanks. Some tea would be nice. Chinese tea is great. I really like your tea set. Where did you get it?
#Person2#: Oh, there is a supermarket not far from here. But there is also a tea house around the corner, where you can get tea, taste tea and get a tea set as well.
#Person1#: Oh yeah, I saw the tea house the other day. I think I might go and have a look sometime. It's a nice neighborhood here.
#Person2#: You are right about that. It's quiet and very convenient. You can get to the bus and the subway stations within ten minutes'walk. There's a grocery store, a book store, a gym, and many restaurants along the street.
#Person1#: There's a gym nearby? That's exciting! I really want to start to go to gym as soon as possible. I've been lazy this summer holiday and have put on some weight.
#Person2#: Well, if you want we can go together sometime. Actually I was thinking of going this afternoon, if you like, you can join me and I can show you the neighborhood along the way.
#Person1#: That would be wonderful. Thanks! | Lucas who just moved in next door comes to visit Barbara. Barbara treats Lucas with tea and tells him about the neighborhood. Lucas wants to start exercising so Barabar invites Lucas to the gym together this afternoon. | neighborhood | [

train_5722 | #Person1#: Are the ceremony and reception held in the same place?
#Person2#: No, not usually. Most people are married in a church, and then the wedding party and guests go to another place for the reception. Sometimes, however, they hold the reception in a big room in the church.
#Person1#: Where do they go?
#Person2#: Either they go to a public place such as a hotel, a restaurant, or a club, or to the home of the bride.
#Person1#: They go to the home of the bride?
#Person2#: Why do you ask?
#Person1#: The Chinese custom is to go to the groom's home-just the opposite.
#Person2#: Oh! In our country the bride's family is responsible for the entire wedding-arrangement, costs, etc. So the reception is held at her home.
#Person1#: That's very expensive for the family of the bride.
#Person2#: Many American furthers joke that they would rather hold the ladder for their daughter to climb down and elope than pay for a wedding.
#Person1#: Tell me something about the bridal bouquet. Isn't it the custom to throw it?
#Person2#: Yes. When the bride and groom are ready to leave on their honeymoon all the single girls gather in one place. The bride stands with her back to them and throws her bouquet over her shoulder and they each try to catch it. The one who does will be the next one married.
#Person1#: Maybe I'll be the one. | #Person2# tells #Person1# in American the wedding ceremony and reception are usually held in different places and receptions are sometimes held in the bride's home.
