B: That is Tom's. I think he bought that last week.
7
▶A: Richard, what are you doing up there?
B: Believe it or not, I am conducting my research now.
8
▶A: Who is that? To tell the truth, I don't like him that much.
A: Me neither. But I think we should give him credit for today's prosperity.
9
▶A: One should keep one's promise; otherwise no one will trust him or her.
B: You can say that again.
10
▶A: Speaking of the tennis match, this is John's last one of the season.
B: In that case, I will ask you some questions about this game when I get to my office. What is your number again?
11
▶A: Do you know how to cook this?

B: What's the hurry? Take your time.
17
▶A: How often do you play tennis?
B: Twice a week. That is, if I am not busy and I can get an empty court.
18
▶A: Do you mind if I give you some advice on that? It is a very important tip on how to use the court.
B: No,not at all. It sounds like you know what you are talking about.
19
▶A: You are much better than me.
B: No. Don't be modest. Everyone knows that you are the best player around here.
20
▶A: I can't believe this is the last summer camp that I am attending with you guys.
B: Yes. Time flies, doesn't it?
21
▶A: There's some food on the table. Help yourself, but please don’t feed the dog.
Due to the sluggish economy, we are trying to cut down the food cost. Please understand the current situation.
B: Don't worry about that. I will be busy to take care of my body first.
22
▶A: Is there a drug store around here?
B: Yes, there is one at the village center.

B: Did you look in the top drawer of my desk?
27
▶A: What is going on down there?
B: Sorry, I accidentally pushed the wrong button
A: It sounds like you did something very wrong.
28
▶A: I had a hard time controlling the boat.
B: Take it easy. Calm down a bit. Remember, easy does it. It takes a lot of hard work to get used to it.
29
▶A: Please forgive me this time. I will make sure it won't happen again.
B: Don't worry about it. Everyone makes mistakes. As long as you don't make the same mistake, it’s okay with me. Any one can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.
30
▶A: On days like this, I would do anything for a cold drink.
B: I will drink to that.
31
▶A: What are you looking at?
B: It looks like it's going to rain any minute.
A: That's what I was thinking. Only problem with that is I don't have an umbrella with me now.
32
▶A: I heard you are moving to NY. Is that right?
B: Yes, we decided to move to New York next month.
33
▶A: Is this the ring you were looking for?

34
▶A: How much did you pay for that?
B: I think it was around $200, but I am not sure because I got this as a Christmas present from my uncle.
35
▶A: How do you open this door?
B: It's kind of tricky. You have to lift here and push forward like this. But you are not supposed to open it.
36
▶A: I hate this. This kind of thing makes me really angry.
B: Who wouldn't? I don't blame you at all. I guess the next best thing is to get the refund from the company. Oh, he is coming over there.
37
▶A: We are very sorry for all the trouble we've caused you, but that's the way it is around here. Take it or leave it.
B: Hey I didn't say anything. Why do you say that?
38
▶A: Excuse me. How long will it take to fix it?
B: It won't take that long. At most ten minutes. You can wait if you want.
39
▶A: Oh my gosh! What a mess! What happened here?
B: Well, It looks like the problem went from bad to worse. I don't know what to say.
40
▶A: John promised to visit Paul's office before he leaves for Egypt.
B: Oh, boy. It wasn't easy getting here but I am really glad I could keep my promise to you.
41
▶A: Let me know when she comes in.
B: I think she just called in sick. Wait a minute. Let me check on that. Yeah, she couldn't make it today
42
▶A: Why don't you give her a call and remind her that I'll stop by around 9.
B: No problem. Anything else?
43
▶A: I wonder if this pearl necklace will make her happy.
B: You never know until you try. Where there is a will, there is a way.
44
▶A: Are you surprised at the news?
B: As a matter of fact, I could not believe it when I heard it the first time.
45
▶A: Do you want me to verify that for you?
B: Will you? It's very kind of you to do that. But then again, you don't have to if you don't want.
46
▶A: It was here on the table this morning but it's gone now.
B: That's very strange. Has anyone seen Steve's car keys this morning?
47
▶A: It's obvious he failed the exam twice before he became a broadcaster.
B: How did you figure it out? Did anyone tell you about that?
A: I am not going to tell you. That's a secret.
48
▶A: The reason why he failed the exam was he simply didn't study hard enough.
B: As far as I know, he was too busy to prepare for the exam.
49
▶A: If he studies hard, he will pass the exam. That's for sure.
B: I guess you're right about that. No pain, no gain, I suppose.
