龚: Oh, it’s a long time for us to meet again. How are you? 任: We are fine.
那: Where are you going?
任:We are going to the bookstore to see if we could pick up some good books
there. You were listening to your I-Pod just now. Do you like listening to music?
曾: Yeah, I love music. Music is my life. And I love this I-pod to death. It is like I
am carrying a music library where I go. How about you?
任: Oh yeah? Tell me your favorite singers.
曾: quite a lot. I like Backstreet boys, lady gaga, Justin bieber, and sweetbox
and so on. How about you?
龚: I like old songs. I like love songs. Those songs cloud last forever.
曾: Name some good songs, please.
龚: You know these two songs” The Sound of Silence”, “ El Condor Pasa”?
任: yeah, very good. I like Bee gees, too. Too bad one of the brothers died
two years ago. I don’t think we could find another band like this one.
龚: How about U2? It is very popular.
曾: Right. Some of their songs are easy listening. But some are heavy metal
which I don’t like. I prefer soft rocks.
龚: It’s great that we both love music. . I don’t know if anyone could live without
music.
任: Me too. What do you listen to music for?
龚:Er, sometimes I think music can help me cope with stress from surroundings. Also, it is a good way for our English learning,when you listen
some foreign songs, such as those from Back Street.
曾: I agree with you... What’s more, when I am down, music cheers me up.
When I am lost, music guides me through. When I am tired, music soothes me
gently. When I am weak, music lifts me up.
任:I also can get something from music. Music teaches me that if you face some difficulties, you must be brave and find some solutions to deal with it.
Everything, we shouldn’t give it up, but hold it by yourself!
曾: Music is our world.
龚:I can’t live without music. :How do you listen to music? 曾:You mean?

Fashion dialogue
We met at a street
任: HI, you two, how is everything?
龚: Oh, it’s a long time for us to meet again. How are you? 任: We are fine.
曾: Oh’ did you see the fashion show last night? 龚:Yes, but it was dumb. I think it’s stupid for women to wear clothes like that!
曾:But do you think that it’s a kind of fashion? They looked pretty good on me.
龚: Maybe, at least it isn’t to me. Do you really think that people can wear that
stuff and walk around the street?
那:I agree with you.
曾:But at least some certainly can do this! They wear high-fashion clothes to show off their style and wealth.
任:So I think now we apart two forms. I and yang agree that we should keep up with fashion, and you 2 is on the other side of the coin.
那:Right, how do you think about this?
曾:En,in my point of view, fashion is a kind of life-style. Everyone like pursuing fashion must be a life lover. They know how to find some charming things and
connect them together to create a wonderful thing.
龚:But if you want to seek the fashionable things, you must spend a lot of spare time and even money on it? I think it is a kind of wasting
曾:I say that it is a kind of life-style. You can find that fashion is surrounding us everywhere. Maybe a clothes, a light, a popular word, a song, a building, they
are all kinds of fashion. And to respond you question, if you love a thing, it
doesn’t matter what you spend and how much you do! Even to pursue the fashion.
任:I agree with him. You know fashion can identify us, it can make us stand out!
龚: But I really think it is unnecessary, because it is not always practical and
useful. Many times the only you it can support to us is it’s looking. In our
position we must spend our time on our study but not other things!
那:Yes, we should study hard.
曾:I can’t deny the importance of the time to study. However, we can spear
some time to do other things we are interested in. And just because of this
looking. It seems that we are wealthy! Sometimes it can showing my status.
You know our country is traditional, so some of us are same. We are not the
unique! So we must be fashion-conscious. And we must break with the
tradition.
那:But the fashion is up-dated everyday!
龚:So you are becoming out of it quickly. And I think that to be traditional is a good choice. Fashion can lead to decline in normal standard!
任:Without fallowing the fashion trend, one might be looked down upon by some people and therefore lose some opportunities.
那:Everyone has their own opinion.
龚:Yes. And now I think this topic is interesting. 任: It seems we could keep this topic on and on.
曾:Maybe we should meet on a nice weekend and we will just talk about music all day. Does that sound good?
那: Absolutely. I will call you. Bye!
龚 曾: Bye! Have a good day!
任 那: You, too.
Advertisement dialogue
We met at a street
曾:Advertisements appear everywhere in modern society. When you walk along the streets, you can see large boards with pretty girls smiling at you. You
read newspapers, and see half of the pages covered with ads.
龚:That’s ture, when you turn on TV, you can see commercial
advertisements again. Whether you like it or not, advertisements fill your life.
那:And have you thought why there are so many ads? 任:In order to attract more customers, advertisements will sometimes go to extremes.
曾:Yes, you know, advertisements use every possible means in producing their announcements. For example, to advertise a certain food, advertisers will
employ an actor to sit at a table and eat up their seemingly delicious food
product while they film him.
龚:Although advertisements enable you to make decisions quickly, sometimes they can cause lots of trouble. There are always many of them and they make
you forget what you are sitting there for.
曾:Er, in my opinion, both views are lop-sided. On the one hand, TV ads, in the form of artistic pictures, are presented in such a fantastic way and with such
witty language that they not only seduce customers to buy their products, but
also give people enjoyment. On the other hand, not all ads are trustworthy. A
certain number of them are deceitful.
那:Yes, not all ads are trustworthy.
曾:Ads seek to influence our decisions and tell us what to do sually with the aim behind them being to enrich some business. To resist this influence so as
to make wise deeisions, we must rely on our own judgement and ability to
reason.
任:And I think the money is spent on ads, so a part of the price products have is from ads’. Many people buy a product because it is made by a certain
company. In fact, some people only buy a product of a famous company. They
think it proves that they are fashionable and have good taste.
那:So it is a must to have some ads for a company?
龚:Yes, but it is not good for consumers. You know what im afraid is if the axtra costs of ads will be passed on to the consumers. All advertisements are
designed to make people buy a product. So they must have it.
曾:And you might think that advertisements do not affect you, but the next time you buy one thing, ask yourself: Why am I buying this particular product? This
is the affaction the ads affact on you.
那:That's the disadvantages of keeping a pet.
曾:Nowadays, with the improvement of the people’s living standard, some people form a habit of raising small or domestic animals as pets.
任:Some raise small dogs or cats as their pets while others raise various birds or fishes as their pets.
龚:Yes,there are still even some people raising snakes and other unusual
animals as their pets.
那:Everyone has their own opinion.
龚:Yes. And now I think this topic is interesting.
任: It seems we could keep this topic on and on.
曾:Maybe we should meet on a nice weekend and we will just talk about music all day. Does that sound good?
那: Absolutely. I will call you. Bye!
龚 曾: Bye! Have a good day!
任 那: You, too.
