M: Hey Kate, did you draw lines on the field for the sports day activities?

W: Not yet. The weather forecast says it’s going to rain heavily all day long that day.

M: Oh, no! What can we do?

W: I’m sorry, sir, but we have a strict “no photography” policy at this museum.

M: Really? No one told me that, and I didn’t see any signs at the entrance.

W: There’s a sign near the doorway that says No Photography or Video Recording.

W: Good afternoon, students. May I have your attention, please? We regret to inform you that everyone is going to have to register for next semester’s classes again. I know you all already completed your schedules yesterday; however, due to a problem with our registration site, we were unable to process some of the requests. Hopefully, all of our technical difficulties have been fixed and we can avoid problems like this in the future. Please sign up for your classes by the end of the day. We appreciate your cooperation, and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you.

W: Hey, Paul. I heard that you’re going to join the FC APEC III soccer camp. Are you any good?

M: Not really.

W: How are you planning to compete with other attendees, then?

M: It shouldn’t really be a problem. I’ll drink some Rad CraCra every day.

W: How can Rad CraCra help you with your soccer skills?

M: It’s got a special mixture of ingredients that can give me the energy boost I need. It can help me run faster, jump higher, and play longer.

W: Wow! I didn’t know Rad CraCra was that powerful.

M: It also tastes great, and it’s the official sports drink of FC APEC III.

W: Awesome! Rad CraCra is an amazing sports drink.

M: You’re right! I never play soccer without it.

W: Hi. Please come in.

M: Wow. Look at this place! You have a lot of antique vases. Are you a collector?

W: I am. So, you guys offer a special service for fragile items, right?

M: We sure do. We have containers specially designed to protect delicate items. It does cost an extra $150, though. When exactly are you moving out?

W: Not until next Sunday, but we’d like to get everything moved out a bit early. When are you available, and what’s the cost?

M: We could get everything shipped to your new place on Friday afternoon. From looking at everything you have, I’d say $900 would be fair.

W: That sounds perfect. Is there anything we should do in preparation?

M: Well, be sure to pack all of your valuables and take them with you separately.

W: Sure. No Problem.

W: Hey sweetheart, I think I finally finished the design for the mural I’m going to paint in Colin’s bedroom.

M: Cool. Let me see it.

W: Sure. Let me know what you think.

M: Well, the sun is pretty interesting. Those are some cool sunglasses, too.

W: Yeah. And the horse is eating grass from the ground.

M: That’s cool. I guess that’s an apple tree there. You did a great job drawing it.

W: Thanks. What do you think about the rabbits near the tree?

M: I think they look a little more like mice, but I’m sure it’ll look clearer on the wall. I like how the pig is playing in the mud.

W: Pigs love mud. You know, Colin also loves eagles, so I put one of those in the tree.

M: Neat. I’m sure he’ll like it.

W: Well, I guess I should go to the art supply store and buy some paint.

M: Well, I’m really excited to see how it turns out.

W: Me too, sweetheart.

M: Hey, is everything okay? You look stressed.

W: I have a big test next week that I should have been preparing for, but I’ve been hanging out with my friends a lot instead of studying. I’m worried that I won’t do well.

M: Don’t worry about it too much. You’ll do fine if you start studying today.

W: I appreciate you saying that. It makes me feel a bit better. But still, all of this anxiety is making me hot.

M: That’s strange. Let me take your temperature to make sure you don’t have a fever. [Pause] No, you’re fine.

W: I want to take some pain medication anyway.

M: No, a pain pill won’t help. If you want to be alert and able to study, you need to rest. You should take a nap.

W: I can’t nap now. I haven’t finished this assignment yet.

M: You really look like you need to sleep. Go upstairs and lie down. When you wake up, you’ll be able to think more clearly and do better work.

W: Will you make sure to set an alarm for me? I’m worried that if I fall asleep now, I’ll sleep too long.

M: All right, I will. Now, go rest.

W: Good morning, Mr. Staller. We have everything ready to move to the new offices this weekend, right?

M: Didn’t you hear? We’re not moving in until next weekend.

W: Really? Why the sudden change of plans?

M: I thought that it’d be best if we had the place thoroughly cleaned before we started over there.

W: Did you call the moving company to reschedule the move?

M: I did. They weren’t happy with the change of plans, though. They’re actually going to be booked up next weekend.

W: Oh, no. What are we going to do if we can’t find a moving company to replace them?

M: I’m not sure yet, but I thought about having the employees come in on Saturday to move everything out.

W: I really don’t think they’re going to like that.

M: You’re probably right, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

M: Hi. How can I help you today?

W: I’m shopping for a backpack for my son.

M: Well, you’ve come at the perfect time. We’re running our back-to-school sale, and we’re offering discounts up to 40% off.

W: Awesome! Well, what’s popular these days?

M: Well, this Spikey brand backpack is a big seller. It’s priced at $50, but it’s currently on sale for 20% off.

W: That’s reasonable. I’ll take it.

M: Great! Is there anything else I can help you with?

W: Well, my daughter could probably use a new backpack too. How much is that pink one over there?

M: That one is generally $60, but it’s 10% off right now.

W: That’s kind of pricey, but I’m sure she’ll love it. I’ll take it.

M: All right. We can also make the bags water-resistant, if you’d like.

W: How much does that cost?

M: It’s an additional $5 per bag.

W: That’s okay. They’re fine the way they are.

[Telephone rings.]

M: Good afternoon, this is Tafford Orchard.

W: Hello, I’m Mrs. Fink, the biology teacher at Paulson High School. I’m calling to inquire about bringing my students to the orchard on a field trip.

M: I’m glad to hear that, Mrs. Fink. We offer half-day and full-day programs for students.

W: A half-day program would be more appropriate for our needs, I think. What are some of the activities that you all do in these programs?

M: If the weather’s nice, we usually take students out to pick apples and make apple cider.

W: That seems like something they’d like. I’d be bringing around 25 students. Do you have any openings on September 26th?

M: Yes, our schedule is open for that entire week.

W: Excellent. I suppose I’d like to go ahead and make a reservation, then.

M: Okay. You said about 25 students on September 26th, correct?

W: That’s right. And that’s for Paulson High School.

M: All right. You’ll need to provide lunch for your students and remind them to wear comfortable clothes.

W: Will do. Thanks for your help.

M: It’s summer again, which means the return of the Springfield Farmers’ Market. The market is located at Springfield Square and enthusiastically provides visitors with some of the freshest organic produce in the state. Why would you spend the extra money at the grocery store when you can buy directly from our local farmers for a fraction of the cost? Whether you’re looking for watermelons, string beans, or fresh jams, our market has everything you need. We’re open every Saturday from noon until 7 p.m. and on Sundays from noon to 5. It’s fun for the whole family. Pets are even welcome too, so bring everyone down to the farmers’ market this weekend.

M: Good evening, ma’am. What can I do for you?

W: Hi. I’m looking for a water purifier to rent for my office.

M: Well, you’ve come to the right place. We currently have five different models to choose from. I’ll just need to ask you a few questions so we can find the perfect one for you.

W: That’s fine. Ask away.

M: Okay. So, first off, what do you want this machine to do? Would you like it to make ice?

W: Well, that would be nice, but it doesn’t have to. I do want it to make hot water, though.

M: All right. Now, as you might know, different purifiers use different amounts of energy. What kind of energy rating are you looking for?

W: We’re an environmentally friendly company, so I think we should go with the best rating possible.

M: I see. A lower number means it’s more efficient. Just one more question: how much are you looking to spend per month?

W: We decided that $40 per month is the most we’re willing to spend.

M: Then this is the model for you.

W: Perfect. I’ll take it. Thank you for all your help.

W: Hey, I heard that you decided to major in journalism.

M: Yeah, I really want to be a journalist.

W: That’s cool. I guess you’re interested in writing?

M: That’s right. I’ve loved writing since I was a child. Are you still going to major in anthropology?

W: No, I’m thinking about majoring in sociology.

M: Hold on. You seemed pretty sure what you were going to major in the last time we talked.

W: Well, I realized I’m really interested in sociology as well. I don’t know which one I want to study more.

M: What kind of job do you want when you graduate?

W: I really want to be a social worker, but my father says I should be an anthropology professor.

M: Ah. Isn’t your father an anthropology professor?

W: Yeah. So which one do you think I should choose?

[Knocking sound]

M: Who’s there?

W: Hey, Kevin. It’s me.

M: Oh, hey Mom. Come on in. How’s everything?

W: Not bad. What are you up to?

M: Just working on this project for science class. It’s due tomorrow. Check it out.

W: [Pause] I’m not sure what I’m looking at here.

M: It’s a battery made out of a potato. Pretty neat, huh?

W: Well, it is pretty interesting, but it seems a bit messy. There are wires everywhere. Can’t you clean it up a little?

M: I know it’s a bit complicated, but I made this poster to explain the process of how everything works. What do you think about the poster?

W: Well, when you’re presenting something and trying to get others to understand, I think it’s important to make it as simple as possible.

M: Well, what do you think I should do, then?

W: Manny and his girlfriend, Katie, made arrangements to backpack through Southeast Asia. Neither of them had traveled abroad before, so they decided to prepare themselves rather than go through a travel agency. Katie did most of the work to make arrangements. She found cheap accommodation and planned all of the routes. She also bought a Thai phrasebook so she could communicate with the locals. After all of the preparation, they have finally arrived in Bangkok and are walking around The Grand Palace. Katie, however, is still obsessing over their travel plans and is trying to think of new things to do. Manny wants to tell Katie that she shouldn’t worry about planning and instead should enjoy the trip. In this situation, what would Manny most likely say to Katie?

W: Good morning, everyone. With final exams coming up, I’d like to take a few minutes to talk about effective study habits. Perhaps the first thing to consider when you study is finding the perfect place to concentrate. It needs to be quiet and comfortable, so it could be the classroom, your own room, a cafe, or the library. Second, it’s important to set goals when studying. Setting goals will help give you something to work towards as you study. You can also reward yourself with a treat when you reach the goals you have set for yourself. The third point I want to make is about resisting distraction. It’s easy to get distracted by phones and other electronics these days, so make sure to turn off your cell phone, television, and other distracting devices before you start studying. Finally, recent studies have shown that some noises can be helpful for concentration. Droning noises, such as lights, white noise, rain, and the sounds of nature can help keep your mind sharp and relaxed. Keep these tips in mind while studying for next week’s finals. Thank you for your time.

M: Hello. I have some leftover money that I’d like to exchange. What’s the exchange rate?

W: Conan, have you seen Our History, the new documentary on HBO?
