That chair over there, but please be careful with it. It was a gift from my mother-in-law.
Don’t worry, I won’t drop it. Wow, it’s really heavy. I don’t think I can move it by myself.

About a year ago. She lives in an apartment on 3rd street, across from the public library.
I see. It’s almost 5:00 PM now, don’t you think there will be a lot of traffic?
Oh, we’re not driving. We’re going to take the subway. The subway only takes about 20 minutes.
Yes, but it can be very crowded around this time. I always feel uncomfortable taking the subway.
I take the subway to work everyday, so I’m used to it now.
Doesn’t your mother live in the city?
Yes, she’s lived there for about ten years.
I remember when she moved there. Apartments were a lot cheaper then.

Yes. Who are you looking for again?
Heather Johnson.
Oh, I thought you said Laura. Sorry about that. This is the right number, but Heather’s not here right now.
Do you know where she went?
She went to the store to buy some groceries. Would you like to leave a message?
Yes, would you please tell her Eric Martin called?
Hi Eric, this is her roommate Kathy. I met you a couple months ago at the Christmas party.
Oh, yes. How are you?
Good. Heather will be back in about 20 minutes. I’ll tell her you called.
OK. Thanks.
Bye bye.
Lesson 47: TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER
Hello?
Hi Tina, It’s Joe.
Hi Joe.
How’s the weather there today?
It’s really cold. It snowed all day and the schools closed early.
What’s the temperature?
It’s 30 degrees now. It was even colder this morning.
Have you heard what the weather is going to be like tomorrow?
I was watching the news a little earlier. They said it’s probably going to snow tomorrow.
I really don’t like the winter. I wish it were summer.
Me too. How’s the weather where you are?
It’s not too bad, but it’s pretty cold here too. It was about 45 today and it rained this afternoon. I heard it’s going to be a little warmer tomorrow.
Lesson 48: MAKING PLANS
It’s almost Christmas. What are you doing this weekend?
Nothing special, just working. Why do you ask?
Well, I still haven’t finished my Christmas shopping. Do you want to go shopping with me this weekend?
I’d like to, but I’m not sure if I can. Work has been really busy lately. Why don’t we go on Friday instead?
Friday’s not good. I think the stores will be very crowded and I have to work.
OK, then let’s try to go this weekend. I should know if I can go by Friday. Is it OK if I call you then?
Yeah, that’s fine.
What’s your number?
233-331-8828. Let me give you my email address too. It’s sara@gmail.com
OK, I’ll talk to you soon.
OK.
Lesson 49: MEETING A FRIEND
Hello?
Hi Vicky.
Are you there yet?
Yes.
I just got off the subway. I’m almost there. Sorry I’m late.
That’s no problem. I just wanted to tell you I’m inside.
Where are you?
On the second floor.
Should I come to the second floor or do you want to come to the first floor?
Come upstairs.
What?
Oh, Can you hear me OK? I said, come to the second floor.
Oh, OK. What are you doing there?
Just looking at some books on how to learn English.
Do you want to get something to eat later?
No, I’m still full from dinner.
What do you want to do?
I don’t know for sure. When you get here we’ll talk about it.
OK, see you soon.
Bye.
Lesson 50: I’M A STUDENT
Craig, what do you do for work?
I’m still a student.
What school do you go to?
BostonUniversity.
That’s a good school. What do you study?
I’m studying english, math, and history. My major is english.
How long have you been studying english?
More than six years.
That’s a long time.
Yeah, I started to learn english when I was in high school.
No wonder your english is so good.
Actually, it’s not that good. I can read but I can’t speak very well. I haven’t had a lot of chance to practice.
I see. Talking with other people is very important.
Yes, but I still don’t have many friends here yet.
I’m having a party tonight at my apartment. You should come.
