Dialogue 1 E(Emily) R(Ryan)
E: I don't know about you, but I'm famished. Are you interested in getting a bite to eat?
R: That sounds great. I'm absolutely starving! What kind of food are you in the mood for?
E: I'd love something spicy. Maybe we could get some Sichuan Hotpot.
R: You're a woman after my own heart. I don't know many people who can handle spicy food. Are you sure you are up for hotpot.
E: Sure. If I could, I would eat hotpot every day!
R: Ok, you're really all eyes when it comes to talking about food, aren't you?
E: Well, let's stop dragging our feet and find a Sichuan Hotpot restaurant for dinner!
R: Let me think about it for a minute. Let's see... oh the name of the restaurant is on the tip of my tongue! Give me a second and it'll come to me.
E: Well...? Have you thought of it yet?
R: No...
E: Never mind. There's an authentic tasting hotpot restaurant not far from the China World Trade Towers on Chang An Street. Have you been there?
R: That's it! That's the one I was thinking of! I told you I'd remember it!
E: You really have a big head, don't you!
Dialogue 2
R: So, Emily, how was your day?
E: I don't think you really want to hear about it.
R: It can't have been that bad. Go on and tell me about it.
E: To be honest, it was horrible! My manager is such a pain in the neck!
R: Why? What happened?
E: Well, he made quite a few mistakes on the monthly report and when his supervisor found them, my manager blamed them on me!
R: That's not very fair. What did you do?
E: There wasn't really anything that I could do. There's always been a lot of bad blood between my manager and myself. If I had said anything, he would have fired for me for sure.
R: Does he treat everyone in your department like this?
E: He treats everyone pretty poorly, but the way he treats me really takes the cake!
R: Do you have any idea why he treats you worse than the others?
E: I really have no idea. All I know is that the thought of him really curls my hair!
R: Is there anyone else you can talk to about it at you company?
E: Not really. I'm hoping to live with it for a while until I get a promotion.
R: That's very sensible. It sounds like you have a good head on you shoulders.
E: I try to be sensible about it, but it's not very easy. Sometimes you just have to grin and bear it.
R: That's so true. When you have a taste for success, you can't let dishonest people like your manager get in the way.
