#Person1#: Management is going through a big turnover these days. With Bill's retirement, and department realignment, we have lost about 1/3 of our managerial staff. They've been dropping like flies...
#Person2#: Isn't that a good thing? Having fewer bosses means having less stress, don't you think?
#Person1#: Actually, I don't think so. Supervisors are really important to make sure everything goes smoothly in the workplace. They are necessary for divvying up work and disciplining employees.

#Person2#: No, I'm just kidding. But you do look like you're having a good time.
#Person1#: So, c'mon. Have another glass of punch. It's just fruit juice.
#Person2#: It's not just fruit juice. But alright. I'll have one more glass.
#Person3#: Steve, are you trying to push that punch on poor Susan here? You shouldn't trust this guy, you know. He likes to see people get drunk.
#Person1#: Oh, Kevin! How can you accuse me? You are the one who made this punch. It's your party! I didn't pour the three bottles of vodka in it, did I?

#Person1#: You are very funny tonight, Kevin.
#Person2#: No, he seems good-looking enough to me. It's just maybe that his manners aren't too good.

#Person1#: Where were you when the sandstorm struck yesterday afternoon?
#Person2#: I was at home. I was off work yesterday. What about you?
#Person1#: I was caught in it. I was riding a bike in the street when I noticed Brown clouds coming from the northwest. Soon it was blowing hard and it became very dark.
#Person2#: So what did you do?
#Person1#: It was impossible to ride anymore. So I walked but there was so much dust in the air that it was very difficult to breathe. And it was so difficult to walk in the wind. It took me nearly half an hour to get to the post office, but usually it takes no more than 15 minutes.

#Person2#: Really? Congratulations.
#Person1#: Thank you. I think we want to buy a new television set.
#Person2#: What kind of television do you want to buy?
#Person1#: A color TV set, of course. But I'm not sure about the size. Maybe we should buy a big one. If we buy a small one, we might have to exchange it in a few years for a bigger one. That would be a waste of money. What's your opinion?
#Person2#: In my opinion, I don't think it's necessary to buy a very big one.
#Person1#: Any particular reason?
#Person2#: Yes, as far as I know, your living room isn't very big. If you put a very big television there, it will be bad for your eyes. Besides, a small TV set can still pick up the same programs.
#Person1#: Hmm...That's quite true. I'll think about it.
