Conversation 1

Man: I love this dish. It is so delicious. Can you give me the recipe?
Woman: I don't have one. I make it from memory.
Man: Well, can you write it down for me? I really want to cook this.
Woman: Sure. But it might be easier for me to show you how to make it.
Man: I'd love that. Can you really teach me how to make this?
Woman: I'd love to. Why don't you come over next week. I'll make it for you, then.
Man: I don't want you to cook it for me. I want you to teach me your secret.
Woman: I stand corrected. I'll show you how to make.
Man: Thank you. I'm so excited to learn how to make this.

Conversation 2

Man: What did you do last night?
Woman: I went to my friend's house. She made me dinner for my birthday.
Man: Oh, happy birthday. I had no idea. I should have bought you a gift.
Woman: No worries. I like to keep it a secret.
Man: Did you get anything nice for your birthday?
Woman: Yes. My mother gave me a beautiful necklace.
Man: Nice. What kind of necklace is it?
Woman: It is gold with diamonds. I'll show it to you when I wear it tomorrow.
Man: Thanks. I'd love to see it. By the way, how old are you?
Woman: That's a secret. I'll never tell you that.
Man: Fair enough. Anyway, happy belated birthday.
Woman: Thank you.

Conversation 3

Man: Did you get my message? I sent you an email about our project.
Woman: No, I didn't get it. Where did you send it?
Man: I sent it to your school email address.
Woman: Oh, I never check that. Text it to my phone.
Man: I can't do that. I need to email it to you.
Woman: Okay. Can you send it to me again, but to my personal email?
Man: Why don't you just use your school email?
Woman: I would, but I forgot my password.
Man: Just ask the school to give you a new password.
Woman: I would, but it is such a hassle. Plus, I never use it.
Man: Fair enough. I'll send it to you again, but this time please open it.
Woman: I will. Thanks.

Conversation 4

Man: How's your job hunting going?
Woman: Not great. One company offered me a job, but I turned it down.
Man: Why? Was the pay not high enough?
Woman: No, not at all. I gave them a counter offer, but they didn't get back to me.
Man: Well, if you need help financially, I can lend you some money if you need it.
Woman: Thanks. But I should be okay. I'm sure I will get a job soon enough.
Man: I'm sure you will. Keep your head up.
Woman: Thanks. I will.
