痘痘护理
Why do you have a Band-Aid【OK 绷】 on your face?
It’s not a Band-Aid, it’s an acne patch【痘痘贴】. I have a big pimple【青春痘】 here, and I’m
hoping the patch will make it go away faster.
Oh. I haven’t had acne problems since high school. In high school, I had really bad acne.
What did you do about it?
I bought over-the-counter medicine【非处方药】at the pharmacy. When that didn’t work, I saw a
dermatologist【皮肤科医生】 regularly and took prescription drugs.【处方药】
Did it help?
It helped some, but my acne only completely cleared after high school. Then I had to get laser
treatment to get rid of the acne scars.【疤痕】
Thanks for your sharing. I won’t complain about a single pimple then!

YouTube
What do you like to do in your free time?
I love watching YouTube videos.
Comedies【喜剧】, mostly. My favorite YouTuber is Ryan Higa.
Hahaha, he is funny!
What do you like to watch?
I like to watch beauty tutorials【美妆教学】so I can improve my make-up【化妆】skills. I also like
to watch gaming【游戏】 channels of top gamers.
Nice. If you find some interesting new channels, let me know.

安排会议
Hi Liv ， this is Eva. Could you check Grace’s calendar 【 行 事 历 ， 日 程 表 】 and see if she’s
available for one-hour meeting next Tuesday at 11 a.m.?
Let me check. Grace will be out of the office on Tuesday. How about Wednesday at 9 a.m.?
I’ll be on a business trip【商务旅行】 from Wednesday to Friday next week. Let me see... How
about next Monday at 4 p.m.?
Grace is available on Monday at 4 p.m.
OK, let’s do Monday at 4 p.m. then. I’ll send a meeting invite to you and Grace via Outlook
Calendar soon.

报名健身
I’d like to sign up for a gym membership and what kinds of plans do you have.
We have one-, two- and three-year plans. Would you like to go to single location or multiple
location?
I’m only live in LA for one year so a one-year plan is fine. This location is near my apartment so
single location is good for me.
What is the monthly fee, and is there an initiation fee?
The initiation fee is 99 dollars, the monthly fee for one location is 24 dollars.
That sounds fine. I’ll sign up for one year.
Please fill out these forms.
暴风雨
Wow, you are completely soaked!
It’s terrible out there. I had an umbrella, but it was useless against the heavy rain.
I can see that. Do you have a change of clothes【换衣】?
No, I don’t.
I have some extra clothes in my office. I started keeping shirts and pants in the office after I got
soaked in a rainstorm last summer.
What a great idea!
We’re about the same size. Let me get you a shirt and pants to change into.
You are a lifesaver. Thanks.
No worries. I’m happy to help. Make sure to check the weather forecast next time.
I will, and I will definitely keep extra clothes in the office.

餐饮外卖 APP
It’s raining heavily outside. Let’s order in【外卖】.
That’s a good idea!
But we’ll have to wait about 25 minutes to get the food.
That’s OK, I can wait.
What do you feel like eating?
How about Thai food?
Sure. There is a Thai restaurant on my food delivery app. It’ll take about 30 minutes to get here.
That’s great. I’d rather wait than venture in the rain.
Agree. Do you order via delivery food apps often?
I do. I don’t cook so when the weather is lousy like today, I usually to just order in.
I can understand.
Food delivery apps are so convenient on days like this.
Very.

超市结账
Hi, how are you?
I’m good, thank you. How’s your day going?
It’s ok, 2 more hours until I get off my shift. How would you like to pay today? Cash or card?
Credit card, thanks.
Would you like some bags?
No, thanks, I brought my own cloth bag.
Can you sign your name on the pad?
Sure.
Here is your receipt. Have a nice day.
Thank you, have a nice day too.

超市询问方向
Excuse me. Can you tell me where I can find bread?
The bakery is at the front of the store. Keep walking to the front until you see the cashiers, then
turn right. You can see the bakery in front of you.
Can you tell me where I can find the peanut butter?
It’s at the far end of aisle【走道】 9.
Got it, thanks.
No problem.

宠物
Do you have any pets?
No, I don’t. What about you?
I have a dog. I rescued it from the dog shelter five years ago. He’s five years old.
What breed【品种】 is he?
He is a Golden Retriever.
That’s nice. I would like a dog but many landlord does not allow pets. It’s written in my apartment
lease【租约】.
I’m sorry to hear that. That’s ok. At least I save money by not buying dog food or paying vet bills.
Maybe you can dog-sit【狗保姆】 for me when I’m away this summer.
Sure, I’d be happy to, as long as you’re willing to pay.

错过班机
It’s great to see you, Steve.
Happy to see you, Jake.
How was your flight【飞行旅行】?
The process was a nightmare. I’m just be happy to be here now.
What happened?
I flew from Taipei to Tokyo, and then Tokyo to New York. Due to bad weather in Taipei, the plane
was grounded【滞留】 for an hour. I missed my connection in Tokyo because of the delay. Sky Air
only has one flight a day to New York, so I spent an hour at Sky Air’s ticketing counter【票务柜台】
as they tried to put me on another airline’s flight.
Sorry to hear that.
Finally, they put me on a Star Airlines flight for New York. But I had to wait for six hours in the
airport.
You must be a jet-lagged【时差】. Let’s go to the coffee store shop next door and get you a cup of
coffee.
Sounds good, I sure I need it.

打包剩余食品
Can I get this to go? 【可以请您帮我打包吗？】
Sure.
Please put the steak and salad in separate boxes. Could you please give me a bag to put the
boxes in?
We provide a paper bag for free.
A paper bag would be great.
OK, I’ll get this packed right away.

Did you feel the earthquake last night?
Yes, it was a big one. I was sitting on the coach watching TV and the coach started to shake. What
were you doing?
I was taking a shower. I wrapped myself in a towel and ran out of the bathroom.
That must have been scary. 对过去事实的肯定猜测
For sure. I checked the news. The government said the earthquake was 4.9 on the Richter scale,
【芮氏地震规模】and its epicenter was off the coast of Hulien.
Wow, that’s a big one.
