M:Good morning, madam!
W: Good morning, doctor!
M:Is there anything I can do for you? You look rather pale.
W: I had a horrible sleep last night!
M:What is exactly going on with you?
W: Well, everyday I feel very tired in the day time.I even nod off while at work.It’s really hard for me to focus my attention on work.But at night, I couldn’t fall asleep at all.
M:I see.Do you take sleeping pills to help you fall asleep?
W: Yes, at the very beginning, I tried to take some pills.But it seems the pills won’t work on me anymore.
M:You should stop taking the pills immediately.Why didn’t you come here earlier? It is very risky for you take pills by yourself.
W: I’m up to my neck in work.But just recently, I feel I was no longer able to concentrate on my work.
M:If you continue to treat yourself like that, I’m afraid the situation will become a lot worse.
W: What should I do, doctor?
M:I think you’d better leave work for two weeks and have a good rest.I know it must be very hard for you to do this, but there is no other choice.
W: I really can’t take days off from work.How about taking pills? Will it help?
M:To tell the truth, your situation now is very serious.Even if you leave work and rest at home, it will take a long time for you to recover.By taking pills only, there might be other risks for your health.You’d better consider this seriously!
W: Err... You are right, doctor.Thanks for reminding me of that! After all, it is no use crying over split milk.

Conversation Two
W: Hello, may I speak to John please?
M:Speaking! Who’s that?
W: It’s Grace here.How have you been?
M:Oh, hi, Grace! I’m fine! Thanks.
W: I’m calling to invite you to dinner this Saturday in my house.Are you free then?
M:Sure! And I’d love to come.By the way, is this Saturday a special occasion?
W: Oh, you can say so.I’m moving out on Sunday, so I invite all my good friends to have a farewell dinner in my house.
M:You are moving out! I can’t believe it.It is so sudden!
W: Yes, it may sound a bit sudden.I bought a new apartment.
M:Congratulations! So, what is your new apartment like?
W: It is a newly built apartment, 3 blocks away from my present place.I live on the top floor—that is to say on the 16th.
M:That sounds great! But don’t you feel it is a bit too high? You know, on the top!
W: That’s exactly why I love the apartment! There’s a roof garden for each toplayer apartment.The light condition is also very good there.
M:Oh, there is a garden! How amazing!
W: And the window view is also very nice! I can see the mountains far away! After I settle down there I will sure invite you to come!
M:I’m looking forward to that! Oh, if you need someone to help you with the moving, I’ll be there!
W: No, I’ve already made my arrangement.Thanks anyway! But if you are free on Saturday afternoon, could you please come and help me with the cooking? My friends love your recipes.But if you are not, never mind! That’s all I ask!
M:Sure! I’ll see you then!
