1.Ted: Oh, I'm really sorry. Are you OK?

Ana: I'm fine. But I'm not very good at this.

Ted: Neither am I. Say, are you from South America? Ana: Yes, I am originally. I was born in Argentina. Ted: Did you grow up there?

Ana: Yes, I did, but my family moved here eight years ago when I was in high school.

Ted: And where did you learn to rollerblade?

Ana: Here in the park. This is only my second time.

Ted: Well, it's my first time. Can you give me some lessons?

Ana: Sure. Just follow me.

Ted: By the way, my name is Ted.

Ana: And I'm Ana. Nice to meet you.

2.Ted: Hey, hey! That was fun. Thank you for the lesson! Ana: No problem. So, tell me a little about yourself. What

do you do?

Ted: I work in a travel agency.

Ana: Really! What do you do there?

Ted: I'm in charge of their computers.

Ana: Oh, so you're a computer specialist.

Ted: Well, sort of. Yeah, I guess so.

Ana: That's great. Then maybe you can give me some help with a computer course I'm taking.

Ted: Oh, sure...But only if you promise to give me some more rollerblading lessons.

Ana: It's a deal!

Interviewer: I see. So you 're an immigrant to the United States.

Yu Hong: Yes, that's right.

Interviewer: What are some of difficulties of being an immigrant in the U.S.?

Yu Hong: Oh, that's not an easy question to answer. There are so many things, really. I guess one of the biggest difficulties is that I don't have any relatives here. I mean, I have a lot of friends, but that's not the same thing. In China, on the holidays or the weekend, we visit relatives. It isn't the same here.

Interviewer: And what do you miss the most from home? Yu Hong: Oh, that's easy: my mom's soup! She makes great soup. I really miss my mother's cooking.

1.A: Hey! Are these pictures of you when you were a kid? B: Yeah! That’s me in front of my uncle’s beach house. When I was a kid, we used to spend two weeks every summer.

A: Wow, I bet that was fun!

B: Yeah. We always had a great time. Every day we used to get up early and walk along the beach. I have a great shell collection. In fact, I think it’s still up in the attic! A: Hey, I used to collect shells, too, when I was a kid. But my parents threw them out!

2.A: You know what I remember most about growing up? B: What?

A: Visiting my grandparent’s house… you know, on holidays and stuff. They lived way out in the country, and my granddad had a horse named Blackie. He taught me how to ride. I just love that horse-and she loved me, too! I used to really enjoy spending time at my grandparent’s house. And every time I came back, Blackie remembered me.

B: Ah, memories!

1.A: Why is there never a bus when you want one?

B: Good question. There aren’t enough buses on this route.

A: Sometimes I feel like writing a letter to the paper.

B: Good idea. You should say that we need more subway lines, too.

A: Yeah. There should be more public transportation in general.

B: And fewer cars! There’s too much traffic.

A: Say, is that our bus coming?

B: Yes, it is. But look. It’s full!

A: Oh, no! Let’s go and get a cup of coffee. We can talk about this letter I’m going to write.

2.A: So you are really going to write a letter to the paper? B: Sure. I’m going to say something about the buses. They’re too old. We need more modern buses… nice air-conditioned ones.

B: And they need to put more buses on the road.

A: Right. And there are too many cars downtown, and there isn’t enough parking.

B: That’s for sure. It’s impossible to find a parking space downtown these days.

A: I think they should ban private cars downtown between nine and five.

B: Oh, you mean they shouldn’t allow any cars except taxis and buses during the regular workday. Hmm… that sounds like a really good idea.

1.A: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the bank is? B: There’s one upstairs, across from the duty-free shop. A: Oh, thanks. Do you know what time it opens? B: It should be open now. It opens at 8:00A.M.

A: Good. And can you tell me how often the buses leave for the city?

B: You need to check at the transportation counter. It’s right down the hall.

A: OK. And just one more thing. Do you know where the nearest restroom is?

B: Right behind you, ma’am. See that sign?

A: Oh. Thanks a lot.

2.A: Excuse me. It’s me again. I’m sorry. I need some more information-if you don’t mind.

B: Not at all.

A: Thanks. Do you know how much a taxi costs to the city?

B: Well, it depends on the traffic, of course. But it usually costs about forty dollars.

A: Forty dollars? I guess I’ll take the bus. That means I have almost an hour till the next one. Where could I find an inexpensive restaurant in the airport? Maybe a fast-food place?

B: Go upstairs and turn right. You’ll see the snack bar on your left.

A: Thanks very much. Have a nice day.

B: You, too.
