广告招租,e-mail:yesize@hotmail.com Dialogue 1 John likes Jenny, but he’s afraid to ask her out. His friend Jack is trying to encourage him. John: Hey, Jack, is Jenny coming with us? Jack: Yes. Why? John: Nothing. I’m just asking. Jack: Just asking? But why is your face burning like mad? Ah-huh, someone has a crush on Jenny, doesn’t he? John: Who has a crush?! Jack: Come on, John, don’t be such a chicken. If you like her, you’ve got to tell her. Maybe she likes you. John: But I don’t have the guts to ask her out. Jack: What’re you so afraid of? John: I’d totally die if she turned me down. Jack: But that’s better than keeping everything to yourself. You’ve got to let her know. Come on! You’ve got to take a chance! John: I don’t know....Well, maybe, you’re right, but how am I going to tell her? Dialogue 2 John has a new girlfriend. His friend Jack is envious.... John: Hi, Jack, long time, no see! Jack: Yeah! How’s everything going? John: Not bad! At least I’m still alive. Jack: Just alive? I heard you’re going out with Jane. John: Where did you get that idea? Jack: Oh, come on. Jane is a very nice girl, someone you meet only once in a lifetime. John: Yeah, you’re right. I’m not boasting, but she’s really as beautiful as she is intelligent. Jack: Well, I really envy you for finding such a girl. Dialogue 3 Jane’s friend Michelle tells Jane that she’s lucky to have Jack as her boyfriend because.... Michelle: I heard you’re going out with Jack. Jane: Yes. To be frank, I really love him to death. Michelle: You’re so lucky! Jane: Why do you say that? Michelle: Why? Are you kidding me? A boy like him is so hard to find. So caring, so patient, and, did I mention, so handsome? Jane: It’s very nice of you to say so. Michelle: Well, it’s not a compliment. I’m saying it from the bottom of my heart! It’s obvious that he’s head over heels in love with you. Jane: I sure hope so. Dialogue 4 Jenny’s boyfriend is a very nice person, but her friend Katie is concerned about his age.... Katie: Jenny, I know you like John a lot, but what do you like about him? Jenny: Well, there’s just something about him. Don’t you think so? Katie: Really? What’s this something? Jenny: Well, he’s mature, handsome, gentle, and successful. I think he’s my Mr. Right! Katie: He’s certainly mature, but don’t you think he’s a little old for you? He’s almost twice as old as you are! Jenny: Well, age shouldn’t be something that comes in the way of a person’s marriage. As long as we love each other, age is not an issue. It never has been! Katie: But what will others think about it? Jenny: I don’t care what others will think about us. I just know I love him and he loves me. And that’s all that matters. Dialogue 5 Tom wants to settle down and start a family, but his girlfriend Monica is not ready yet. Therefore, they have to break up.... Jack: Hi, Tom, how have you been? Tom: Not very well. Jack: Why? What happened? You look so down! Tom: Nothing. Jack: Come on. For a man who’s so down, there’re usually two reasons. Either his career is going downhill, or he has a broken heart. You’re so successful, so.... Tom: Well, you’re right. I just broke up with Monica. Jack: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you two were made for each other. Tom: Well, you never know. I’m ready for a commitment and want to settle down, but she says she wants to pursue her career while she’s still young. Jack: Well, it’s always difficult to choose between career and family. Tom: Maybe you’re right. Jack: John, I don’t know what to say to comfort you, but cheer up! There’s plenty of fish out there and you’ll find your perfect match! Tom: Yeah, but it’s hard to forget her at the moment. You know, we were together for almost five years. It’s really hard.... Dialogue 6 Mike has recently broken up with his girlfriend because.... John: Hi, Mike, we’re having a party tonight, wanna come join us? You can bring your girlfriend. Mike: Well...er...I’m breaking up with Cathy. John: What happened? Did you have a big fight? Mike: No. She’s really a very nice girl.... John: Yeah, she’s pretty and caring. Mike: Well, she’s really caring, but sometimes it’s too much...and uh...I kind of want a break, you know...some room for myself. John: Did you talk with her about it? Mike: I’ve tried, but...it didn’t work. John: Oh, I’m really sorry to hear that. When are you going to tell her? Mike: Maybe tonight, I don’t know. I don’t know how to tell her. John: I know she’s head over heels in love with you and she’ll really be hurt. Mike: I know....
