Conversation 1
Woman: Roger, I want to talk
to you about the company dress policy.
Man: Sure, is there a problem
with how I dress? I do my best to look
professional.
Woman: Well, you look nice.
It's just that you don't wear a suit.
Man: I know, but it's hard to
be productive in a suit, and it is very unlikely
that I see any clients.
Woman: I know, but it is
important that all employees follow the same
policy.
Man: OK, I will start wearing a
suit from tomorrow onward.
Woman: Great, and be sure to
wear nice dress shoes, too.
Conversation 2
Woman: This accident is very
strange.
Man: Yeah, it's weird that no
one saw the accident.
Woman: And it's odd that both
drivers fled the scene.
Man: Maybe both had a criminal
record and were afraid of going to jail.
Woman: Maybe that is the case.
Regardless, it is doubtful that we will find
whoever did this.
Man: I think you may be wrong
about that.
Conversation 3
Woman: How is your dinner?
Man: I can't eat it. I'm not
hungry.
Woman: What? You have to eat.
The doctor said that it's vital that you eat
every meal.
Man: I would if I could. I'm
just not hungry.
Woman: Well, it is important
that you try harder.
Man: Well, it would help if the
food actually tasted good.
Woman: I'm sorry about that.
I'll try to bring you a homemade meal tomorrow.
Man: Thanks. I appreciate that.
But it's unlikely that they would allow it.
Woman: Well, it doesn't hurt to
ask.
Conversation 4
Man: So, how is life since you
quit your job?
Woman: Good! It's nice that I
get to work from home now.
Man: Yeah, I would think so.
It's awesome that you get to set your own hours
and be your own boss.
Woman: Yeah, that is good, but
I miss the security of my old job.
Man: Still, it's sad that more
people don't get to work that way.
Woman: True, but it's highly
likely that more people will get the chance in
the future.
Man: I hope so. And include me
on that list.
