Hi, I bought a new cell phone at your store and tried to use the cell phone, but it does not work properly. So, I want to offer alternatives and ask if it is applicable or not.
First, exchange this phone with another one.
Second, I return the new phone, and you refund the money.
Third, you fix this phone at your store.
You can choose one from them. Then, call back when you are ready to respond with an answer.
I’m sorry, but there’s a problem you need to resolve. You are supposed to go on a business trip to attend an important meeting. However, your flight is delayed. Call your boss, explain the situation and give two or three alternatives to solve it.
Hi, boss. It is me, Chani. I was going to go on a business trip to attend the meeting, but it seems like I will not be able to get there in time because the flight is delayed. So, I am thinking of some alternative for this situation.
First, I will participate in the meeting with Zoom.
Second, another person will take part in the meeting instead of me.
Third, I will not attend the meeting.
I hope you choose one from them. Thanks.

Hi, Officer, I was mugged my watch, passport, and wallet just a moment ago. I will teach you the physical appearance of the mugger, so can you find him?
He was tall than me, maybe more than 180cm, had black hair, and wore black sunglasses. He wore a black shirt and black pants. His face is like Asian.
I will stay at the hotel over there, the story of America, and this is my number. Please find him and get back my stuff.

You are a student majoring in history. Your friend in the physics department has just invented the time machine and invites you to come along for a ride. He asks you to choose three time periods to visit.
You invented the time machine. Are you sure? Did it actually activate? Ok, it is not believable, but if it is true, I have to say you are one of the geniuses in history. You let me use this before publicizing it for the world. Ok, I want to visit the time period that primitive era that human beings were born, and visit the time period of that dinosaurs were alive. And lastly, I want to visit the time period of 5000 years.
Those are all the periods that I want to visit.
You and a high school friend meet at your 25th school reunion. Ask each other questions about what has happened in your life between high school and 25 years later:
Hey, you are Mike, right? It’s been a long time (It’s been a while, It’s been ages. How have you been?) and great to see you again! Your physical appearance has not changed a bit. What are you doing here? It is a holiday. Are you married? Oh, really? How many children do you have? 3. That is a lot. Where are you living now? I have never listened to the place. I have to leave now and will teach a call number. So, meet later next time and let’s talk about something. Then, bye.
The wife is angry with her husband because he always comes home late.
So, you are mad at your husband because he comes home late. Do you know the reason? I mean, did you hear the reason. Drinking. You know that you should understand social interaction is important for work, especially to promote. So, what do you want to do with him? I assume that you have a reason, don’t you? You should say the reason or your emotional demand for him as soon as possible.
A: You are one of the judges at an inventor’s fair. Create a dialog making comments about one of the inventions that you are judging.
Hi, how are you doing? Good. So, what is your invention? Show it to me. What is it supposed to do? That’s interesting. Ok, thanks for the presentation.
B: You are a contestant at an inventor’s. You are trying to persuade the judge that your invention is the best.
Hi, my name is Chani. I created a product. Look at this. You can use it for the human body, and it will make blood in the body circulate efficiently, leading to biological health. Thanks for listening.
A: You are the mother, and you are trying to persuade your son to read more.
Hi, my child. What are you doing? Playing a game. I can see it. Why don’t you read a book? You do not like to read a book. Ok, then how about this. You read a book, then I will give ten dollars. Deal? Ok, and you should say what did you feel or think about the book.
You are the son. You don’t like reading much. You prefer playing computer games. However, your mom is really angry this time, and in the end you decide to do what she says.
Hi, mom. I do not like reading a book. I want to play a game, but you want me to read a book. Then, how about this. I read a book, and then you give me ten dollars every time I read a book. I cannot do something without a reward. Deal?
A: You are telling a friend about an Adventure travel tour that you went on during your summer vacation. You are trying to persuade him/her to come with you next time.
Hi, you know what? I went on an adventure tour of rock climbing during summer vacation. That was really nice. The tour offered me memorable memories. And I am thinking of going again. So, if you have started to think of going on the tour, call me. If I reserve the trip, the fee will be discounted by 10%.
Your friend wants you to go on vacation with him/her, but you don’t want to go, but you don’t want to hurt his/her feelings.
Hi, I heard that you went on an adventure tour and want to participate in the tour. I want to go with you. Is it possible? Oh, you cannot. Then, call me if you start a feeling you want to join.
A: You have been invited to dinner by a Korean family you met sightseeing. You are asking your tour guide for some tips about how to behave.
Hi, can I ask some? I was invited to dinner by a Korean family, and I do not know their tradition at all. So, can you tell me how I should behave during dinner? Are there specific dinner manners in Korean tradition when taking a meal? Should I bring a gift when I visit the house? In my country, people hug when they say hello. How about in Korea? Am I supposed to take off my shoes? Are there any other things I should know? Thanks. I appreciate.
You are a tour guide, and you are explaining some Korean customs to one of your tour members who has been invited to dinner by a Korean family.
Well, you should remind that they use chopsticks, but it is not mandatory(compulsory, obligatory). So, you can use a fork and spoon if you wish to use them. I think this is the universal manner that you shouldn’t blow your nose at the dinner table. I should bring a gift when you visit the house. Prepare just a small gift. In Korea, they do not hug but shake hands or match eye contact. And you should take off your shoes. Those are the Korean tradition that I can teach. Have a great meal.
A: You were supposed to tell your friend about the club meeting, but you thought that someone else would do it. You apologize, and you try to make up an excuse.
Hi. It is me, Chani. We are going to have the club meeting, aren’t we? But, once I thought that someone would do it. I am really sorry for and want to make up (compensate, recompense, remunerate) something. So, tell me what do you want me to do later. Thanks.
You missed the club meeting because nobody told you about it. You are quite angry with your friend because he/she was supposed to tell you. He/She tries to make up an excuse, but you don’t believe him/her.
Hi, I forgot to tell you there was a club meeting. I want to make up an excuse. I thought Mike conveyed when the club meeting will take place. I did not confirm whether he did, actually. So, I want to remunerate something for you. I’m terribly sorry, and I promised that this would never happen again.
A: You are a reporter, and you have been interviewing a famous author about his/her life until now.
Hello. My name is Chani from ABC company, and I am going to interview about your life.
So, the question is that what is your earliest memory of your book?
The next question is that which of your books do you think is the most successful?
How do you get the idea, or do you have someone whom you are conscious of?
Those are all questions that I wanted to do. Thanks for answering the questions.
You are a famous author, and you are being interviewed by a reporter. You have a new book coming out soon, and you want to make a good impression.
Thanks for coming here, and I am glad to receive an interview. So, what is the question? Before answering questions, I want to advertise my latest book. My book will be publicized soon; this is the masterpiece that I have finished until now. This is a story of a girl and travels all over the world, and I illustrated the process of personal development of maturity. This is a very long story, but it is readable, I promise.
Ok, let’s get started!
A: You are walking by the river with your friend, and you see a boy fall into the river. He can’t swim. By the time you pull him out, he has stopped breathing. You don’t know what to do.
I will ask my friend to call an ambulance and will search for information to help him on the internet and will try to help by practicing the way.
B: You know CPR, but you also know this boy also needs immediate medical assistance. Your friend is so shocked that he/she is not much help. You try to calm him/her down enough so that he can call 911.
Calm down, man. Just call an ambulance immediately, and I try to help by using CPR. I assume that he needs to get immediate medical assistance, but I do not have technical expertise about it. I will try to help him, but it might not be easy to save him. I will do my best, so you do your best, bro.
You bought something from a shop, but when you got home, you were not happy with it. This has happened more than once. You want to exchange it.
Hi, I bought this product at this store, but want to return this. Can I return this? I have a receipt. The reason why I want to return this is that this does not work as I think. I am dissatisfied with the product and suppose that you should place some samples so that we can use and see the performance.
You are trying to arrange a time to go to the movies with your friend.
Hey, do you want to go to the movies or something? I think I can make time tonight. You want to go to the movie. Then, when is a good time for you? I cannot meet at the time. Then how about six? Ok, then let’s make it at six tomorrow. See you soon.
You are at a restaurant, and the waiter takes your order. But when he comes back, he brings you the wrong food.
Can I see the menu? Uhh, I would like a set. What kind of soup would you like? Onion soup, please. Would you like anything to drink? Then, can I get coffee after a meal? Excuse me, and I am afraid that you served different foods. I ordered an A set. This should be another table, I guess. I do not care so much. We are humans, and humans fail.
You are telephoning the train station for your boss and his wife to ask what time the train for New York leaves and to reserve two tickets. It is a bad line, and you can’t hear what the person on the other end is saying.
Hi, I wonder if you could tell me what time the train to New York is? It leaves at 5:50 on track 9. I’m sorry I didn’t get any of that. Did you say 5:15? 5:50 ok, I got it. Thanks for your help.
