Sample Conversation 1
M: Hello. My name is James Flanders. I’m calling about your job advertisement for an
accountant.
W: Oh, yes. Thank you for calling. Do you have any questions about the position?
M: I just wanted to confirm that my application documents have been received. I mailed
them last week.
W: Let me see. Yes, here they are. I have your documents here on my desk. On Tuesday, we’ll
start contacting the candidates that we’d like to interview.
Sample Conversation 2
M: So, Tracey, I heard you spoke with Mr. Woods. First of all, congratulations on your
promotion.
M: I hope you don’t mind, but we don’t want to share the good news just yet. Jennifer is
retiring soon, and we think that should be announced first. You can tell your family about
the promotion, but can you keep it a secret at work for a little while?
W: Of course. The team is really going to miss Jennifer. It’ll be a challenge for me to take
over her duties.
Sample Conversation 3
W1: Sure, thanks. I must say, these sessions have been really helpful so far. I learned a lot
yesterday.
M: Thank you! There’s one correction on the schedule, though. Session 3 is canceled because
the speaker is sick. He has the flu.

Renting an apartment
Tom: Hi, I’m looking for an apartment to rent. Are there any vacant units available?
Real Estate Agent: Yes! We have a one-bedroom apartment that’s fully furnished. Would you
like to see it?
Tom: That sounds great! But before I decide, can I know more about the lease terms?
Real Estate Agent: Sure! The standard lease is for one year. The landlord allows tenants to
sublet the unit, but only with approval.
Tom: Hmm, I was hoping for a shorter lease. Can I sign for six months instead?
Real Estate Agent: I’m afraid the landlord has declined shorter leases. However, you could
sign for a year and sublet it later if needed.
Tom: I see. I’ll think about it and get back to you. By the way, do you know where the
nearest pharmacy is? I need to pick up a prescription.
Real Estate Agent: Yes! There’s one just two blocks away.
