[00:23:45]>> Do you have a minute?

[00:23:47]>> Yes, of course. What is it? I am writing an article about perfume.

[00:23:53]>> How interesting. For the magazine.

[00:23:57]>> Yes. The editor asked me this morning.

[00:24:01]>> What kind of article >> about popular perfumes this season?

[00:24:07]>> I love perfume. Can I help?

[00:24:11]>> Yes. Perfect. Can I ask you some questions?

[00:24:16]>> Of course.

[00:24:17]What is your favorite perfume?

[00:24:21]>> I love Rose Garden. It is very fresh.

[00:24:25]>> How long have you used it?

[00:24:28]>> About 3 years now.

[00:24:30]>> And why do you like it?

[00:24:50]>> Those are very popular this season.

[00:24:54]>> Yes, I read that in my research.

[00:24:58]>> Will you put prices in the article?

[00:25:06]>> How much do you pay for Rose Garden?

[00:25:10]>> About $40 for a small bottle.

[00:25:14]That is reasonable.

[00:25:16]>> Some bottles cost over $100.

[00:25:20]>> I know that is too much for me.

[00:25:23]>> What advice would you give the readers?

[00:25:27]>> Always test the perfume first. Don't buy it online.

[00:25:32]>> Why not online?

[00:25:34]>> Because the smell is different on every person.

[00:25:39]>> That is very true.

[00:25:41]I tried a perfume in a store once >> and >> it smelled completely different on my skin.

[00:25:51]>> That happens often.

[00:25:53]>> Yes, always test before you buy.

[00:25:58]>> That is excellent advice for the article.

[00:26:01]>> I hope it is useful.

[00:26:04]>> Very useful. Thank you so much.

[00:26:08]I hope the article is a success.

[00:29:19]>> Is it heavy?

[00:29:21]>> Yes, a little. It is quite rich.

[00:29:24]>> I prefer something lighter. Then I recommend the grilled salmon.

[00:32:21]The empty corner office.

[00:32:24]>> Did you see the corner office this morning?

[00:32:27]>> Yes, it is empty now.

[00:32:30]>> Mr. Peterson left last week.

[00:32:33]>> I know. It was a surprise.

[00:32:36]>> Yes. Nobody expected it.

[00:32:38]>> The office is very large.

[00:32:41]>> And it has a beautiful view. Two windows.

[00:32:46]>> So much natural light. I wonder who will get it.

[00:32:50]>> I heard the manager is deciding this week.

[00:32:54]>> Who do you think it will be?

[00:32:56]>> Maybe Lisa. She has been here 8 years.

[00:33:00]>> Or David? He just got a promotion.

[00:33:04]>> That is true. Do you want it?

[00:33:07]>> Me? I don't think I qualify.

[00:33:10]>> Why not? You work very hard.

[00:33:13]>> Thank you, but I am still quite new. 2 years is not so new.

[00:33:19]>> Maybe, but I don't expect it.

[00:33:22]>> That is a humble attitude.

[00:33:24]>> Do you know what furniture is inside?

[00:33:28]>> A large desk, two chairs, and a bookshelf.

[00:33:32]>> Very professional.

[00:33:34]>> I walked past it this morning.

[00:33:37]>> And >> someone was already cleaning it.

[00:33:40]>> Oh, so the decision is already made.

[00:33:44]>> It seems so. The manager looked very pleased.

[00:33:49]>> I wonder who it is.

[00:33:51]>> We will find out at tomorrow's meeting.

[00:33:54]>> I can't wait.

[00:33:56]>> It is always exciting when things change.

[00:33:59]>> Yes, change keeps things interesting.

[00:34:03]>> Exactly.

[00:34:04]>> Well, whoever gets it deserves it.

[00:34:11]>> Yes. See you at the meeting tomorrow.

[00:34:14]See you then. Have a good afternoon.

[00:34:18]>> You too. Goodbye.

[00:34:35]>> Thank you. This feels a little strange, doesn't it?

[00:34:40]>> Yes. I have never been on a blind date before. Me neither. Our friend Sarah set this up.

[00:34:48]>> Yes, she said very nice things about you.

[00:34:51]>> She said nice things about you, too.

[00:34:54]>> That is good to know. Are you nervous?

[00:34:58]>> A little. Are you?

[00:35:00]>> Yes, a little. Well, we are in the same situation.

[00:35:05]>> That makes it easier.

[00:35:07]>> Shall we order something?

[00:35:09]>> Good idea. I'll have a coffee. Me too.

[00:35:14]>> So, what do you do for work?

[00:35:16]>> I am a history teacher.

[00:35:18]>> That sounds very interesting.

[00:35:21]>> Yes, I love it. And you?

[00:35:24]>> I write articles for a travel magazine.

[00:35:28]>> What a wonderful job.

[00:35:30]>> Yes, I travel often.

[00:35:32]>> Where do you like to go?

[00:35:34]>> Italy and Japan are my favorites.

[00:35:38]>> I love Italy, too. The food is incredible. Yes. And the history.

[00:35:44]>> I went to Rome last year.

[00:35:47]>> I was in Rome 2 years ago.

[00:35:49]>> Then we already have something in common.

[00:35:52]>> It seems so.

[00:35:54]>> Sarah was right about you.

[00:35:56]>> What did she say?

[00:35:58]>> That we would get along well.

[00:36:00]>> I think she was right.

[00:36:02]>> Would you like to stay for dinner?

[00:36:04]>> Yes, I would like that very much.

[00:36:07]>> Good. I'm very glad I came today. Me too.

[00:36:12]>> Shall we look at the dinner menu?

[00:36:51]>> Very nervous, but also very excited.

[00:36:58]>> Thank you. I've been practicing every day. What song will you sing?

[00:37:04]>> Hero by Mariah Carey.

[00:37:07]That is a very difficult song.

[00:37:10]>> Yes, but I know every word by heart.

[00:37:14]>> How long have you wanted to do this?

[00:37:17]>> Since I was a little girl.

[00:37:20]>> That is a long time.

[00:37:25]>> I admire you for trying.

[00:37:28]>> Thank you. It is not easy to take that first step.

[00:37:33]>> No, but you are brave. I decided life is too short to wait.

[00:37:40]>> That is very true.

[00:37:42]>> Will you come to the audition?

[00:37:44]>> Of course. I wouldn't miss it.

[00:37:47]>> Thank you. That means everything to me.

[00:37:50]>> Where is it?

[00:37:52]>> At the City Theater on Main Street.

[00:37:55]>> I know it. It is a beautiful theater.

[00:37:59]>> Yes, there will be many people there.

[00:38:02]>> Don't think about the crowd. Just sing.

[00:38:06]>> That is good advice.

[00:38:08]>> You will be wonderful. I know it.

[00:38:12]>> Thank you. You are a good friend.

[00:38:15]>> What time on Saturday? 2:00 in the afternoon. I'll be there at 1:30.

[00:38:22]Perfect. We can have lunch first. Good idea. I'm so excited for you. Thank you.

[00:38:30]See you Saturday. Good luck. Goodbye.

[00:38:34]Goodbye.

[00:38:35]>> The crazy outfit.

[00:38:38]>> Good morning.

[00:38:39]>> Good morning.

[00:38:41]>> You look very different today.

[00:38:43]>> Different how?

[00:38:45]>> Your outfit. It is very colorful.

[00:38:49]>> Do you like it?

[00:38:50]>> It is very interesting.

[00:38:53]>> Is that a yes or a no?

[00:38:56]>> Honestly, it is a little surprising.

[00:39:00]>> I wanted to try something new. I can see that.

[00:39:04]>> Is it too much for the office?

[00:39:07]>> Maybe a little, but you look confident.

[00:39:10]>> I wore it for a reason.

[00:39:12]>> Oh, >> I have my big presentation today.

[00:39:16]>> Ah, you want to be memorable.

[00:39:20]>> Exactly. People always remember bold colors.

[00:39:24]>> That is actually very smart.

[00:39:26]>> Thank you. I was nervous this morning.

[00:39:30]>> Why? I was afraid people would laugh.

[00:39:33]>> Nobody is laughing.

[00:39:35]>> Good. I feel much better now.

[00:39:38]>> Where did you buy it?

[00:39:39]>> A small boutique near my apartment.

[00:39:42]>> It looks well made.

[00:39:44]>> Yes, it was not cheap, but I love it.

[00:39:48]>> Does the jacket belong to the outfit?

[00:39:51]>> Yes. Everything was chosen together.

[00:39:54]>> The colors work very well.

[00:39:56]>> Thank you. I spent a long time choosing.

[00:40:00]What time is your presentation?

[00:40:02]>> At 11:00.

[00:40:04]>> You still have 1 hour.

[00:40:06]>> Yes, I am almost ready.

[00:40:09]>> Are you nervous about the presentation?

[00:40:11]>> Yes, but not about the outfit.

[00:40:14]>> The outfit gives you confidence.

[00:40:17]>> Exactly. That is why I chose it.

[00:40:20]>> Do I look professional?

[00:40:22]>> You were asking me?

[00:40:24]>> Yes.

[00:40:25]>> Yes. Colorful and professional.

[00:40:28]>> Perfect. Good luck today.

[00:40:30]>> Thank you. See you at lunch.

[00:40:33]>> See you then. Goodbye.

[00:40:35]>> Goodbye.

[00:40:36]>> The perfect living room.

[00:40:39]>> I love this living room.

[00:40:41]>> Yes, it is the biggest room in the apartment.

[00:40:45]>> The light is beautiful in here.

[00:40:48]>> The windows face south.

[00:40:50]>> Perfect for my plants.

[00:40:52]>> You can put them right by the window.

[00:40:54]>> Yes. And the sofa in the center. Facing the television.

[00:40:59]>> Yes, exactly.

[00:41:01]>> And the bookshelf >> against the left wall.

[00:41:05]>> Good. What color sofa do you want?

[00:41:09]>> Light gray.

[00:41:10]>> Gray goes with everything.

[00:41:12]>> Yes, clean and simple.

[00:41:15]>> Should we get a rug?

[00:41:16]>> Yes, a big soft one.

[00:41:19]>> What color?

[00:41:20]>> Something warm. Beige or cream.

[00:41:24]>> That will look very cozy. Exactly what I want.

[00:41:28]>> What about the walls?

[00:41:30]>> White, simple, and bright.

[00:41:33]>> Should we put anything on the walls?

[00:41:36]>> One or two pieces of art. Nothing too busy.

[00:41:40]>> I agree. Less is more.

[00:41:42]>> I saw a beautiful painting last week.

[00:41:46]>> Oh, where?

[00:41:47]>> At the art fair downtown.

[00:41:49]>> How much was it?

[00:41:51]>> About $200.

[00:41:53]That is reasonable for an original piece.

[00:41:56]>> I thought so, too. Shall we go look at it?

[00:41:59]>> Yes, this weekend.

[00:42:01]>> And the furniture shopping, too.

[00:42:03]>> Yes, one trip. Sofa, rug, and painting.

[00:42:08]>> I can't wait.

[00:42:09]>> This room is going to be beautiful.

[00:42:12]>> Our best room yet.

[00:42:14]>> I agree. Let's make a list tonight.

[00:42:17]>> Good idea. After dinner.

[00:42:19]>> Perfect. I'm looking forward to it. Me too. This is going to be wonderful.

[00:42:25]>> It really is. Have a good afternoon.

[00:42:28]>> You too. See you tonight.

[00:42:30]>> See you tonight. Working late or staying out? Are you staying late tonight?

[00:42:37]>> I'm not sure. Are you?

[00:42:40]>> Yes, I have a report to finish.

[00:42:43]>> How long will it take?

[00:42:44]>> About 2 hours.

[00:42:46]>> That is a long time. I know, but the deadline is tomorrow morning.

[00:42:52]>> I have the same deadline.

[00:42:54]>> Have you finished your part?

[00:42:56]>> Almost. One more section.

[00:42:59]>> Then you need to stay, too.

[00:43:01]>> I know, but my friends invited me out tonight.

[00:43:04]>> Where are you going?

[00:43:05]>> A new restaurant downtown.

[00:43:08]>> That sounds nice.

[00:43:09]>> Yes. I don't want to miss it.

[00:43:12]>> Can you finish your section quickly?

[00:43:14]If I focus maybe 1 hour, >> then you can still make it.

[00:43:20]>> What time is dinner?

[00:43:21]>> I don't know. It's your dinner.

[00:43:24]>> Oh, 8:00.

[00:43:26]>> It is 5 now. You have 3 hours.

[00:43:29]>> That is enough.

[00:43:31]>> Focus and finish, then go and enjoy.

[00:43:34]>> That is good advice.

[00:43:36]>> Work first, then fun.

[00:43:38]>> You are right. Are you coming out after?

[00:43:41]>> No, I need to sleep early. You work too hard.

[00:43:46]>> Maybe, but I have a meeting at 8 tomorrow.

[00:43:49]>> 8:00 again.

[00:43:51]>> Yes, it is a very busy week.

[00:43:54]>> Next week will be better.

[00:43:56]>> I hope so.

[00:43:57]>> Okay, I'm going to focus right now.

[00:44:00]>> Good. Turn off your phone.

[00:44:03]>> Yes. No distractions.

[00:44:05]>> Exactly.

[00:44:06]>> See you tomorrow morning then.

[00:44:08]>> Yes. Enjoy your dinner.

[00:44:10]>> Thank you. Enjoy your quiet evening.

[00:44:13]>> I will. Goodbye.

[00:44:15]>> Goodbye. At the airport.

[00:44:18]>> Excuse me. Where is the check-in desk for flight 208?

[00:44:25]>> Let me see.

[00:44:27]Flight 208 is at desk number 12.

[00:44:31]>> Thank you. Is it far from here?

[00:44:35]>> No, it is just over there near the window.

[00:44:38]>> Oh, I see it now.

[00:44:40]Are you traveling today?

[00:44:43]>> Yes, I am flying to Rome.

[00:44:46]>> That sounds nice. Is it your first time there?

[00:44:50]>> Yes, it is. I am a little nervous.

[00:44:54]>> Do not worry. The airport is easy to use.

[00:44:58]>> I hope so.

[00:44:59]>> Do you have your passport and ticket ready?

[00:45:02]>> Yes, I have them in my bag.

[00:45:05]>> Good. That will make check-in faster.

[00:45:08]>> Thank you. Are you checking a suitcase?

[00:45:12]>> Yes, one large suitcase.

[00:45:15]>> Then go to the desk and put it on the belt.

[00:45:17]>> Okay. And where is security after that?

[00:45:21]>> Go straight ahead then turn right.

[00:45:24]>> Straight ahead then right.

[00:45:27]>> Yes. You will see the sign.

[00:45:29]>> Good.

[00:45:30]>> Do you know your gate number?

[00:45:32]>> Not yet.

[00:45:33]>> It will be on your boarding pass.

[00:45:35]>> Perfect. Thank you for your help.

[00:45:37]>> You are welcome. Is there a cafe after security?

[00:45:43]>> Yes, there are two cafes and a small shop.

[00:45:47]>> That is good. I have time before my flight.

[00:45:51]>> Then you can relax there.

[00:45:53]>> Yes, that sounds nice.

[00:45:56]>> Boarding usually starts 40 minutes before departure.

[00:46:00]>> I will remember that.

[00:46:02]>> Good idea.

[00:46:03]>> Thank you again.

[00:46:05]>> My pleasure. Have a good flight. Thank you very much. Goodbye.

[00:46:11]>> Goodbye.

[00:46:12]>> Do the shopping.

[00:46:18]>> Of course. What do you need?

[00:46:20]>> I need milk, bread, eggs, and apples.

[00:46:25]>> Milk is in the fridge section.

[00:46:28]>> Thank you. And where is the bread?

[00:46:32]>> Bread is near the front of the store.

[00:46:35]>> I saw some there. Yes, that is right.

[00:46:38]>> What about eggs?

[00:46:40]>> Eggs are beside the milk.

[00:46:43]>> Perfect.

[00:46:45]>> And apples are in the fruit section.

[00:46:48]>> Good. I also need some rice.

[00:46:51]>> Rice is in aisle four.

[00:46:54]>> This store is very big.

[00:46:57]>> Yes, but the signs help a lot.

[00:47:00]>> That is true.

[00:47:01]>> Do you need a basket or a cart?

[00:47:04]>> A basket is fine. Thank you.

[00:47:07]>> Here you are.

[00:47:08]>> Thank you very much.

[00:47:10]>> You are welcome.

[00:47:11]>> Are the apples fresh today?

[00:47:14]>> Yes, very fresh. They arrived this morning.

[00:47:18]>> That is great.

[00:47:20]>> Red apples or green apples?

[00:47:22]>> Red apples, please.

[00:47:24]>> Good choice.

[00:47:26]>> Do you sell orange juice, too?

[00:47:29]>> Yes, in the drink section near the water.

[00:47:32]>> Thank you.

[00:47:33]>> Anything else? Maybe some cheese.

[00:47:37]>> Cheese is next to the eggs.

[00:47:40]>> Very good.

[00:47:41]>> Are you cooking tonight?

[00:47:43]>> Yes, I am making dinner at home.

[00:47:46]>> That sounds nice.

[00:47:47]>> I like simple food.

[00:47:50]>> Simple food is often the best.

[00:47:53]>> I agree.

[00:47:54]>> The checkout is near the exit when you are ready.

[00:47:57]>> Can I pay by card?

[00:47:59]>> Yes, of course.

[00:48:01]>> Thank you for all your help. You are very welcome.

[00:48:05]>> Have a nice day.

[00:48:10]On the plane.

[00:48:12]>> Excuse me. Is this seat 14A?

[00:48:21]>> Thank you. I am in the right place then.

[00:48:34]>> Nice to meet you, too.

[00:48:36]>> Do you travel often?

[00:48:38]>> Not very often. Only for work sometimes.

[00:48:42]>> I see. I do not fly much.

[00:48:46]>> Then maybe you feel a little nervous.

[00:48:49]>> Yes, just a little.

[00:48:52]>> It will be okay. This is usually a smooth flight.

[00:48:56]>> That is good to hear.

[00:48:57]>> Are you going on holiday?

[00:49:00]Yes, for 5 days.

[00:49:02]>> That sounds lovely.

[00:49:04]>> And you?

[00:49:05]>> I'm going for a business meeting.

[00:49:08]>> Oh, I understand.

[00:49:10]>> Do you want help with your bag?

[00:49:12]>> Yes, please. It is a little heavy.

[00:49:15]>> Of course, I can put it in the overhead locker.

[00:49:19]>> Thank you very much.

[00:49:21]>> No problem.

[00:49:23]>> Is this your first time in that city?

[00:49:26]>> No, I go there every year. Then you know it well >> a little. It's a nice place.

[00:49:33]>> Good. I'm excited to see it.

[00:49:36]>> Do you prefer the window seat?

[00:49:39]>> Yes, I like looking outside.

[00:49:41]>> Me, too, but I usually choose the aisle.

[00:49:45]>> It is easier to stand up there.

[00:49:48]>> Exactly.

[00:49:49]>> Oh, the flight attendant is coming.

[00:49:52]>> Yes, we need to fasten our seat belts now.

[00:49:55]>> Thank you for reminding me. You're welcome.

[00:49:59]>> I hope the flight is not too long.

[00:50:02]>> Only about 2 hours.

[00:50:04]>> That is fine.

[00:50:06]>> Yes, it will go quickly.

[00:50:08]>> Thank you for being so kind.

[00:50:11]>> My pleasure.

[00:50:12]>> Have a good flight.

[00:50:14]>> You too.

[00:50:15]>> Make a complaint.

[00:50:18]>> Excuse me. I would like to make a complaint.

[00:50:21]>> I am sorry to hear that. What is the problem? I bought this shirt yesterday, but it has a hole in it.

[00:50:30]>> Oh, I see. That is not good.

[00:50:34]>> Yes, I only saw it when I got home.

[00:50:38]>> Do you have the receipt?

[00:50:40]>> Yes, here it is.

[00:50:42]>> Thank you.

[00:50:44]>> You are welcome.

[00:50:45]>> Did you wear the shirt?

[00:50:48]>> No, I did not.

[00:50:50]>> I understand.

[00:50:51]I would like a new shirt or my money back.

[00:50:55]>> Of course. Let me check if we still have your size.

[00:51:00]>> Thank you.

[00:51:01]>> What size is it?

[00:51:03]>> Large.

[00:51:05]>> And what color?

[00:51:07]>> Blue.

[00:51:08]>> Please wait a moment.

[00:51:10]>> Of course.

[00:51:11]>> Good news. We have another blue shirt in large.

[00:51:16]>> That is good.

[00:51:18]>> Would you like to change it? Yes, please.

[00:51:21]>> No problem. I will bring it for you.

[00:51:25]>> Thank you very much.

[00:51:27]>> Here it is. Please check it first.

[00:51:30]>> Yes, this one looks fine.

[00:51:33]>> I'm glad.

[00:51:34]>> The other shirt was disappointing.

[00:51:37]>> I understand and I am sorry.

[00:51:41]>> Thank you.

[00:51:42]>> Sometimes these things happen, but we want to help.

[00:51:47]>> I appreciate that. Would you like to try the new shirt on?

[00:51:52]>> No, that is okay. I know the size is right.

[00:51:56]>> All right.

[00:51:57]>> Do I need to sign anything?

[00:52:00]>> No, just this exchange form.

[00:52:03]>> Okay.

[00:52:04]>> Thank you. Everything is done now.

[00:52:07]>> Good.

[00:52:09]>> Again, I am sorry for the problem.

[00:52:12]>> That is okay. Thank you for fixing it.

[00:53:33]>> There are many cafes and shops there.

[00:53:36]>> Wonderful. I would like to walk around later.

[00:53:45]>> Yes, quite quiet, but still close to everything.

[00:53:49]>> Perfect.

[00:53:51]>> Do you want me to stop anywhere first?
