Conversation 1

Man: How is your new job?
Woman: Okay, but it is not as fun as my last job.
Man: Oh, really? Why?
Woman: Well, there are not as many social events, and it is not as chill as my last job.
Man: Oh, no, that's too bad. What about pay and benefits?
Woman: I earn about as much as before, but I had better benefits.
Man: Well, so it's not all bad.

Conversation 2

Man: I hear you got a new house.
Woman: I did. We just moved in last week.
Man: How is it?
Woman: Good. It is not as big as my last place, but it is cheaper.
Man: How is the neighborhood?
Woman: It is not as convenient as my last place, but I like it.

Conversation 3

Man: Can you pick up my friend at the airport? I have to work tonight.
Woman: Sure, I can do that. What does he look like?
Man: Well, he's about as tall as me, and he has blonde hair. It's the same color as mine.
Woman: Wow, he sounds like your twin.
Man: No, I am not nearly as handsome as he is. You'll see.
Woman: I'll be the judge of that.

Conversation 4

Man: How's the new cafe?
Woman: Not good. It's not as good as the last one.
Man: How are the prices?
Woman: About the same, but the coffee is not as good as before.
Man: Oh, no. I'm bummed to hear that.
Woman: There is one good thing, though.
Man: Oh, yeah. What's that?
Woman: Well, because the quality has dropped off, it's not nearly as crowded as before, so it's easy to find a seat.
Man: Well, at least that's good.
