Hello, I want to cancel my subscription.
Speaker A
Hello, I can help you with that.
Speaker A
Thank you. May I have your email address, please?
Speaker A
Yes, it is [email protected].
Speaker A
Thank you, I have your account now.
Speaker A
Good. May I ask why you want to cancel?
Speaker A
I do not watch it very often.
Speaker A
I understand. I am very busy with work these days.
Speaker A
How often do you watch?
Speaker A
Maybe one movie each month.
Speaker A
I see, that is not much.
Speaker A
No, and it costs $15 each month.
Speaker A
We have a cheaper plan.
Speaker A
Really? How much is it?
Speaker A
$7 each month.
Speaker A
What is different?
Speaker A
There are some short ads.
Speaker A
Ads? Before the movie?
Speaker A
Yes, and sometimes in the middle.
Speaker A
Hmm, I do not like ads.
Speaker A
We can also pause your account.
Speaker A
Pause it? What does that mean?
Speaker A
You pay nothing for up to 3 months.
Speaker A
And my list of movies stays?
Speaker A
Yes, everything stays the same.
Speaker A
That is interesting, but I think I want to cancel.
Speaker A
No problem, I will cancel it now.
Speaker A
Thank you.
Speaker A
Your account is open until the end of this month.
Speaker A
So, I can still watch until then?
Speaker A
Yes, until the last day of this month.
Speaker A
Good. Do I pay anything more?
Speaker A
No, this month is already paid.
Speaker A
Will you take money next month?
Speaker A
No, nothing more.
Speaker A
That is good. You will get an email to confirm.
Speaker A
When will it come?
Speaker A
In a few minutes.
Speaker A
Okay, I will check my email.

You can come back anytime.
Speaker A
Maybe in the summer.

I have more time then.
Speaker A
That sounds good. We will be here.

Thank you for your help.

Asking the landlord to fix a leaky faucet.
Speaker A
Hello Mrs. Green. It is Sam from apartment 4B.
Speaker A
Hello Sam. How are you?
Speaker A
I am fine, thank you, but I have a problem.
Speaker A
Oh, what is the problem?
Speaker A
The bathroom faucet is leaking.
Speaker A
The bathroom faucet? Not the kitchen?
Speaker A
No, the one in the bathroom sink.
Speaker A
When did it start?
Speaker A
Three days ago.
Speaker A
Three days? Why did you not call before?
Speaker A
It was very small at first.
Speaker A
And now?
Speaker A
Now it is bigger. It drips all the time.
Speaker A
I understand. Is the water hot or cold?
Speaker A
The hot water side.
Speaker A
That is not good. It wastes energy, too.
Speaker A
Yes, that is why I'm calling.
Speaker A
Did you try to close it very tightly?
Speaker A
Yes, but it still drips.
Speaker A
I think it needs a new part.
Speaker A
Can you fix it?
Speaker A
My brother fixes things for me.
Speaker A
When can he come?
Speaker A
Let me call him. One moment.
Speaker A
Of course.
Speaker A
Sam, he can come on Thursday.
Speaker A
What time on Thursday?
Speaker A
At 6:00 in the evening.
Speaker A
6:00 is perfect. I am home after 5:00.
Speaker A
Good. He will bring the new part.
Speaker A
How long will it take?
Speaker A
Maybe 30 minutes.
Speaker A
That is quick.
Speaker A
Is everything else okay in the apartment?
Speaker A
Yes, only one small thing.
Speaker A
What is it?
Speaker A
A light in the hallway is broken.
Speaker A
The light outside your door?
Speaker A
Yes, it is very dark at night.
Speaker A
My brother can fix that, too.
Speaker A
Thank you. That is very helpful.
Speaker A
Is there anything else you want to ask?
Speaker A
Yes, do I need to pay anything?
Speaker A
No, Sam. You do not need to pay.
Speaker A
Great. Thank you, Mrs. Green.
Speaker A
You are welcome.
Speaker A
Thank you for telling me.
Speaker A
See you on Thursday, then.

Yes. Have a good evening.

A flat tire on the way to work.
Speaker A
Excuse me, can you help me, please?

Of course. Is something wrong?
Speaker A
I have a flat tire.

What time do you start?

Is it okay?

Of course, I can do it with you.

Thank you so much.
Speaker A
First, we need the jack.
Speaker A
What is a jack?
Speaker A
It lifts the car. It is here, under the tire.
Speaker A
Oh, I see it.
Speaker A
Now, we take the tire off.
Speaker A
Is it difficult?
Speaker A
No, it just takes a little strength.
Speaker A
Let me call my boss while you work.
Speaker A
Good idea.
Speaker A
Hello, I am going to be a little late.
Speaker A
The old tire is off now.
Speaker A
My boss says it's okay.
Speaker A
Good. Now, we put the spare tire on.
Speaker A
Can I help?
Speaker A
Yes, hold the tire straight.
Speaker A
Like this? Perfect.

Now, I will make it tight.
Speaker A
You are very fast.
Speaker A
I have done this many times.
Speaker A
Is it finished?
Speaker A
Yes, all done.
Speaker A
Can I drive normally now?
Speaker A
Drive slowly. The spare tire is small.
Speaker A
How long can I use it?
Speaker A
Only for a short distance.
Speaker A
Check the tire instructions.
Speaker A
So, I need a new tire soon.
Speaker A
Yes, there is a tire shop near the bank.
Speaker A
I will go there after work.
Speaker A
Good plan.
Speaker A
Thank you so much for your help.
Speaker A
You're welcome.

Drive safely.
Speaker A
I will.

Have a good day.

You too.

Great. Can I ask some questions?

Of course.

About 5 years old.
Speaker A
Is it in good condition?
Speaker A

Four people, maybe five.
Speaker A
That is perfect for my kitchen.

It is a very nice table.

Speaker A
Excuse me, is this seat free?
Speaker A
Yes, please. Sit down.
Speaker A
Thank you. It is so busy today.
Speaker A
Yes, it is lunchtime.
Speaker A
I walked around for 5 minutes.
Speaker A
There are no free tables.
Speaker A
Do you mind sharing?
Speaker A
Not at all. There's space for two.

Can you pass me the salt, please?
Speaker A
Of course. Here you are.

Thank you. How is your soup?

It is hot, but very tasty.

Be careful. Do not burn your mouth.
Speaker A
Ha, too late.
Speaker A
Do you want some water?
Speaker A
No, thank you. I have my tea.
Speaker A
I need to go back to work now.
Speaker A
Thank you for sharing your table.
Speaker A
You're welcome.
Speaker A
Enjoy your lunch.

Thank you. Have a good afternoon.

You, too.
Speaker A
Goodbye.
Speaker A
Goodbye.
Speaker A
Asking a neighbor to water the plants.
Speaker A
Hi Helen. Can I ask you a favor?
Speaker A
Hi Paul. Of course. What is it?
Speaker A
I am going on a trip next week.
Speaker A
Oh, nice. Where are you going?
Speaker A
To visit my parents in Scotland.
Speaker A
How lovely. For how long?

For 10 days.
Speaker A
That is a long time.

One cup, that i
Speaker A
Yes, I will take the silver laptop, please. I will get a new one from the back room.
Speaker A
Take your time. I am not in a hurry. Here's the box. It is sealed tightly.
Speaker A
It looks perfect. Thank you very much. Let us go to the register to pay.
Speaker A
I will pay with my credit card today. Please insert your card into the machine.
Speaker A
Okay. The card is in the machine now. The payment is approved. Here's your receipt.
Speaker A
Thank you for helping me choose. You're welcome. Good luck with your school papers. Thank you. Have a great day.
Speaker A
You, too. Goodbye. Trying a new recipe. Are you ready to cook dinner tonight? Yes, I am. What are we making?
Speaker A
We are trying a new pasta recipe today. That sounds good. I am very hungry.
Speaker A
First, we need to cut the vegetables. Which vegetables should we cut? We need one onion and two red peppers.
Speaker A
I will cut the onion with this knife. Be careful. The knife is very sharp.
Speaker A
I will cut it into very small pieces. The onion makes my eyes water a little.
Speaker A
Me, too. I'm crying from the onion. Wash your hands and it will stop. Okay. The onion is cut. What is next?
Speaker A
Now, we must cook the meat in the pan. Should I put some oil in the pan first?
Speaker A
Yes. Put two spoons of olive oil in the pan. The oil is in the pan. It is getting hot.
Speaker A
Put the meat in carefully. Do not burn yourself. It is making a very loud noise now.
Speaker A
That is normal. Stir it with the wooden spoon. I'm stirring it. It smells very good.
Speaker A
Now, we add the onion and the peppers. I am putting them in the pan right now.
Speaker A
We need to add salt and black pepper, too. How much salt should I put in?
Speaker A
Just a small pinch of salt is enough. Okay. Salt and pepper are in the food.
Speaker A
Now, we add the red tomato sauce. I will pour the whole jar into the pan.
Speaker A
Yes, use all the sauce in the jar. The sauce is bubbling. It looks delicious.
Speaker A
We need to turn the heat down low. The heat is low. How long do we wait?
Speaker A
We must let it cook for 20 minutes. Should we boil water for the pasta now?
Speaker A
Yes, fill the big pot with cold water. The pot is full. I will turn on the stove.
Speaker A
Add some salt to the water, too. Okay, the salt is in the water. We make a great team in the kitchen.
Speaker A
Yes, cooking together is very fun. I hope this new recipe tastes good. It smells amazing. I know it will be good.
Speaker A
The water is boiling now. Add the pasta. I am putting the pasta in the hot water.
Speaker A
10 more minutes and we can eat dinner. I will set the table with plates and forks.
Speaker A
Thank you. You are a big help. Let us enjoy our meal soon. Lost hotel room key.
Speaker A
Excuse me, I need some help, please. Good evening, sir. How can I help you?
Speaker A
I cannot find my hotel room key. Did you lose it inside the hotel? I am not sure. I looked everywhere.
Speaker A
Do you remember when you had it last? I had it at breakfast this morning.
Speaker A
Did you go outside the hotel today? Yes, I walked to the park and the museum.
Speaker A
It might be lost in the city. I checked all my pockets and my bag.
Speaker A
Do not worry, we can give you a new key. Will I have to pay for a new key?
Speaker A
No, sir. The new card is completely free. That is a relief. Thank you very much.
Speaker A
What is your room number, please? My room number is 302. Room 302. What is your name?
Speaker A
My name is Robert Johnson. May I see your ID card or passport? Yes, here is my driver's license.
Speaker A
Thank you, Mr. Johnson. Let me check the computer. Take your time. I appreciate your help.
Speaker A
Okay, I am making a new key card now. Will the old key card still open the door?
Speaker A
No, the old key will stop working immediately. That is very safe. I'm glad. Yes, we care about your safety here.
Speaker A
That makes me feel much better. Here is your driver's license back. Thank you. You were very fast.
Speaker A
And here is your new room key. Do I tap the door with this one?
Speaker A
Yes, just tap the green light on the door. I will go upstairs and try it now.
Speaker A
If it does not work, please come back down. I will. The elevator is around the corner right?
Speaker A
Yes, the elevators are past the front doors. Thank you for being so polite and helpful.
Speaker A
It is my pleasure. Enjoy your evening. I will finally go to sleep now. You look very tired from walking all day.
Speaker A
Yes, the museum was very big. Sleep well in your warm bed tonight. Thank you again for the new key.
Speaker A
You're welcome. Good night, Mr. Johnson. Good night. See you in the morning. See you at breakfast. Goodbye.
Speaker A
Missed the train. Oh, no. The train is leaving right now. We missed it. The doors are completely closed.
Speaker A
I ran as fast as I could. Me, too. We were only 1 minute late.
Speaker A
This is terrible. I have an important meeting. I have to go to work early today.
Speaker A
When does the next train arrive here? Let me check the schedule on the wall.
Speaker A
I hope we do not wait very long. The board says the next train is at 8:00.
Speaker A
8:00? That is in 30 minutes. Yes, we have to wait half an hour. I will be very late for my meeting now.
Speaker A
You should call your boss and tell him. That is a good idea. I will call him.
Speaker A
Tell him the train schedule was changed. I will just tell him the truth. The truth is always the best choice.
Speaker A
I should have woken up earlier today. My alarm clock did not ring this morning.
Speaker A
That is very unlucky for you. Yes, I jumped out of bed very fast. Do you want to sit on the bench?
Speaker A
Yes, my legs are tired from running. The station is very cold this morning. It is freezing. Do you want some coffee?
Speaker A
Yes, a hot coffee would be wonderful. There's a small coffee machine over there. Do you have any coins for the machine?
Speaker A
Yes, I have some coins in my pocket. I will pay you back tomorrow morning.
Speaker A
Do not worry about it. It's cheap. You are very kind. I drink black coffee.
Speaker A
I will get one black coffee and one tea. Thank you. I will watch our bags here.
Speaker A
I will be right back with the drinks. Take your time. We have 30 minutes.
Speaker A
Here is your hot black coffee. Be careful. The cup is very hot. It warms my hands.
Speaker A
My tea is very hot, too. It feels good. Drinking this makes the wait much better.
Speaker A
Look, the time is passing quickly now. It is already 7:45. The next train will be here in 15 minutes.
Speaker A
Let us stand near the yellow line now. We will be the first people to get on.
Speaker A
We will not miss this one. No, we will be ready this time. Thank you for the nice coffee.
Speaker A
You are very welcome. Have a good day. Lost at the last stop. Excuse me, is this the last stop?
Speaker A
Yes, it is. The train stops here. Oh, no. I am completely lost today. Where did you want to go today?
Speaker A
I wanted to go to the museum. The museum is very far from here. How many stops did I miss today?
Speaker A
You missed at least five train stops. I was reading my book and forgot. That happens to many people every day.
Speaker A
How can I get back there now? You must take the train going back. When is the next train going back?
Speaker A
It will arrive in exactly 10 minutes. Do I need to buy a new ticket?
Speaker A
No, your ticket is still good today. That is very lucky news for me. You must wait on the other platform.
Speaker A
Which platform is the right one, please? Go to platform number two over there. Do I cross the bridge to get there?
Speaker A
Yes, walk up the stairs and cross. I see the stairs. Thank you very much.
Speaker A
Please do not read your book this time. I will put the book in my bag.
Speaker A
That is a very smart and safe idea. How many stops is it going back?
Speaker A
It is five stops. Count them carefully. 1 2 3 4 5 stops, correct? Exactly. The museum is right outside there.
Speaker A
I am very glad you helped me. It is no problem. I work here. Oh, you work for the train station?
Speaker A
Yes, I am a security guard here. You are a very kind security guard. We want to keep all passengers safe.
Speaker A
Here comes my train on platform two. You should hurry across the bridge now. I am running. Thank you again, sir.
Speaker A
You are welcome. Have a good trip. Goodbye for now. Goodbye. The missing sandwich. Excuse me, I cannot find my sandwich.
Speaker A
Where did you put it this morning? I put it in the white fridge. Did you write your name on it?
Speaker A
Yes, I wrote my name in red. Let me look in the fridge now. It was a chicken and cheese sandwich.
Speaker A
I only see a small green salad. Someone took my sandwich for their lunch. That is very bad. Are you sure?
Speaker A
Yes, it is completely gone from here. Maybe you left it on the table. No, I put it on the top shelf.
Speaker A
I saw David eating a chicken sandwich. Did his sandwich have red writing on it?
Speaker A
I did not look at the plastic bag. I am going to ask David now.
Speaker A
Please do not be very angry with him. I am not angry, just very hungry.
Speaker A
I understand. Lunch is a very important meal. I did not eat breakfast this morning.
Speaker A
If he ate it, I will share mine. That is a very kind offer. Thank you.
Speaker A
I have a large slice of hot pizza. Pizza sounds much better than a cold sandwich.
Speaker A
Yes, the pizza is very warm and cheesy. I will go talk to David first.
Speaker A
Let me know what he says to you. He said he ate his own sandwich today.
Speaker A
Oh, then where is your chicken sandwich? I just looked inside my block bag. Was the sandwich inside your bag all day?
Speaker A
Yes, I forgot to put it in the fridge. That is a very funny and silly mistake.
Speaker A
I feel very bad for blaming David now. You should tell him you are sorry.
Speaker A
I will apologize to him right away. Your sandwich is probably very warm now. Yes, I do not want to eat it.
Speaker A
You can share my hot pizza instead. Thank you very much. You're welcome. Enjoy your warm lunch.
Speaker A
Let us eat lunch now. Yes, let us eat. The sleep medicine. Good morning. I need some medicine, please.
Speaker A
Good morning. What is the problem today? I cannot sleep at night at all. Are you feeling stressed about your work?
Speaker A
Yes, I have a very busy office job. Stress makes it very hard to sleep well.
Speaker A
Do you have a strong medicine for sleep? I can give you a natural sleep medicine.
Speaker A
Does it taste very bad like syrup? No, it is a very small white pill.
Speaker A
How many pills do I take tonight? You take one pill before you go to bed.
Speaker A
Should I drink water with the pill? Yes, drink a full glass of warm water.
Speaker A
Will I wake up feeling very tired tomorrow? No, you should feel fresh in the morning.
Speaker A
That sounds exactly like what I need. You should also drink some hot tea tonight.
Speaker A
What kind of hot tea is the best? Chamomile tea is very good for relaxing.
Speaker A
Do you sell the chamomile tea here, too? Yes, the tea is on the next shelf.
Speaker A
I will take the medicine and the tea. Please do not look at your phone in bed.
Speaker A
Why is my phone bad for sleeping. The bright light wakes up your tired brain.
Speaker A
I will read a paper book instead. Reading a paper book is a very good habit.
Speaker A
How much is the total for everything? The medicine is $10. The tea is five.
Speaker A
So, the total is exactly $15. Yes, $15. Will you pay with cash? Yes. Here is a $20 bill.
Speaker A
Thank you. Here is your $5 change. Thank you for all the helpful advice today.
Speaker A
You are welcome. Try to relax your mind. I will try my best to do that.
Speaker A
If the medicine does not work, see a doctor. Yes, I will make an appointment next week.
Speaker A
Have a very good and quiet night. Thank you very much. Goodbye. Goodbye, and sleep well.
Speaker A
Renting a blue bike for the day. Hello. I want to rent a blue bike.
Speaker A
Hello. We have many blue bikes available today. How much is a bike for one day?
Speaker A
It is $20 for the whole day. Does that price include a strong helmet? Yes. A safety helmet is included for free.
Speaker A
I also need a lock for the bike. Every bike comes with a strong metal lock.
Speaker A
Can I look the blue bikes now? Yes. They are parked right outside the door.
Speaker A
This bright blue one looks very nice. That bike has a very soft black seat.
Speaker A
Let me check the air in the tires. The tires are completely full of air today.
Speaker A
The brakes feel very tight and safe, too. We check the brakes every single morning.
Speaker A
I will take this blue bike for today. I need to see your ID card, please.
Speaker A
Here is my driver's license from my wallet. Thank you. Please sign this paper right here.
Speaker A
I will sign at the very bottom line. What time will you bring the bike back?
Speaker A
I will bring it back at 5:00. The shop closes at 6:00 tonight. I will definitely be back before you close.
Speaker A
Where are you going to ride the bike? I want to ride along the wide river.
Speaker A
The river path is very flat and beautiful. Yes, my friends told me it is great.
Speaker A
Do you need a printed map of the river path? Yes, a paper map would be very helpful.
Speaker A
Here is a map with the river marked. Thank you. How do I lock the bike?
Speaker A
Just wrap the chain around a tall pole. That sounds very simple and easy to do.
Speaker A
Yes. Remember the secret code for the lock. The code is 1 2 3 4, right?
Speaker A
Yes. that is the correct code for it. I am ready to start my ride now.
Speaker A
Have a wonderful time on the river path. Thank you for your help. Goodbye. You are very welcome. Goodbye.

Yes, please. Add a big bottle of cola. Is this for delivery or pickup? I want it delivered to my house, please.
Speaker A
What is your home address for the driver? I live at number 50 on Oak Street.
Speaker A
Number 50 Oak Street. Is it an apartment? No, it is a white house with trees.
Speaker A
How will you pay for the food tonight? I will pay with cash at the door.
Speaker A
The total price is $28 today. I have exactly $30 for the driver. He will give you $2 in change.
Speaker A
He can keep the change as a tip. Thank you. He will be very happy.
Speaker A
How long will the pizza delivery take tonight? It will take about 35 minutes. The kids are very hungry and waiting.
Speaker A
We will drive as fast as we can. Please do not forget the cold cola drink.
Speaker A
I will put the bottle in the bag. I will leave the front light turned on.
Speaker A
That makes it easy to find your house. Will the driver knock loudly on the door?
Speaker A
Yes, he always knocks very loud for customers. Perfect. We are ready for our dinner now.
Speaker A
Thank you for calling the pizza shop today. See you very soon. Goodbye. Goodbye and enjoy your dinner tonight.
Speaker A
The cold soup. Excuse me, can I talk to you, please? Yes, sir. Is everything okay with your meal?
Speaker A
No, I am sorry, but there is a problem. What is wrong with the food today?
Speaker A
My tomato soup is completely cold inside. Oh, I am very sorry about that soup.
Speaker A
I just tasted it and it is freezing. The kitchen must have made a big mistake.
Speaker A
Can you please take it back and heat it? I will not heat it. I will get a new one.
Speaker A
Thank you. I want a very hot bowl. I will make sure the chef tests it.
Speaker A
The garlic bread on the side is perfect. I am glad the bread is still hot.
Speaker A
I will eat the bread while I wait. The new soup will be ready in 2 minutes.
Speaker A
Take your time. I want it to be right. We want you to enjoy your meal here.
Speaker A
I usually love the soup at this restaurant. It is our most popular dish in winter.
Speaker A
Yes, it is very good for cold days. Here is a glass of water for you.
Speaker A
Thank you. You are a very good waitress. I will bring the fresh soup right now.
Speaker A
I am waiting patiently at my table here. Okay, here is the new bowl of soup.
Speaker A
It smells very delicious. Be careful. The white bowl is very hot. I will blow on it first. It is hot.
Speaker A
Yes, it just came from the big stove. Let me taste it and tell you the truth.
Speaker A
I hope it is much better this time. Yes, this is exactly how I like it.
Speaker A
I am very happy we fixed the problem. Thank you for acting so fast for me.
Speaker A
We will not charge you for the soup. That is very kind, but I can pay.
Speaker A
No, it is a free gift for the mistake. You run a very good restaurant here today.
Speaker A
Enjoy the rest of your dinner, sir. Thank [snorts] you very much. I will enjoy it.
Speaker A
The spilled coffee. Oh, no. I am so sorry about this. What happened? Did you drop your cup?
Speaker A
Yes, I spilled my coffee on your table. Do not worry. It is only an accident.
Speaker A
Some of it got on your black shoes. My shoes are fine. Are you completely okay?
Speaker A
Yes, but I feel very silly and clumsy. It happens to everyone in a busy cafe.
Speaker A
Let me find some paper towels to clean. There are some napkins near the sugar bowl.
Speaker A
I will run and grab a big pile. Be careful. The floor is very wet now.
Speaker A
I am walking very slowly. Here are napkins. I will help you wipe the wet table.
Speaker A
Thank you. You are being very nice today. I know you did not mean to spill it.
Speaker A
The cup was too hot for my hands. You should always use a thick cardboard sleeve.
Speaker A
I forgot to put one on the cup. The table is almost completely dry now.
Speaker A
I will throw these wet napkins in the bin. A worker is coming with a floor mop.
Speaker A
I am glad they saw the big mess. You lost all of your hot morning coffee.
Speaker A
I will have to buy a new one. No, let me buy you a new coffee.
Speaker A
You do not have to do that at all. I want to. What kind do you drink?
Speaker A
I drink a simple latte with oat milk. One latte with oat milk. Wait right here.
Speaker A
I will stay here away from the wet floor. I'm back. Here is a fresh hot latte.
Speaker A
It has a cardboard sleeve on it this time. Yes, it will protect your hands from burning.
Speaker A
You really saved my bad morning today. Sometimes a bad morning can turn very good.
Speaker A
I will drink this one very slowly now. Hold it tightly with two hands this time.
Speaker A
I promise I will not drop it again. Have a much better day. Thank you for your amazing kindness.
Speaker A
Goodbye. The dead battery. Hello. Are you going to your car? Yes, I am. Do you need some help?
Speaker A
My car will not start at all today. Does it make a clicking noise when turning?
Speaker A
Yes, it just clicks and everything goes dark. It sounds like you have a dead battery.
Speaker A
I left the inside lights on all night. That will definitely kill the car battery fast.
Speaker A
Do you have jumper cables in your trunk? Yes, I always carry strong cables with me.
Speaker A
Could you please help me start my car? Of course. Let me drive my car closer.
Speaker A
I will open the hood of my car. Is parking right in front of you good?
Speaker A
Yes, that is a very perfect spot. I'm opening the hood of my car. Do you know how to connect the cables?
Speaker A
Yes, red goes to the positive battery side. And the black cable goes to the negative?
Speaker A
Exactly. Let me put them on my battery. I am putting the clamps on my battery.
Speaker A
Are they holding on very tightly now? Yes, they are gripping the metal very hard.
Speaker A
I'm going to start my engine now. Your car started very easily and quickly. Wait for 1 minute to charge your battery.
Speaker A
The cold weather makes car batteries very weak. Okay. Try to turn your car key now.
Speaker A
It is starting. The engine is running again. Do not turn it off for 20 minutes.
Speaker A
I will drive it around the big block. Let us take the heavy cables off carefully.
Speaker A
I am removing the clamps from my car. I'm taking them off my battery, too.
Speaker A
You completely saved my day and my job. I'm glad I parked next to you.
Speaker A
I was very worried I would be late. Now you can go straight to your office.
Speaker A
Thank you for stopping and helping a stranger. Always help people when they need it most.
Speaker A
Have a very safe drive home. Goodbye. You, too. Goodbye. The lost backpack. Excuse me, do you work at the station?
Speaker A
Yes, I am the station manager today. I lost my backpack on the green train.
Speaker A
When did you get off the green train? I got off 10 minutes ago at platform 3.
Speaker A
What does your lost backpack look like? It is a small blue bag with pockets.
Speaker A
Did it have a name tag on it? Yes, a white tag with the name Anna.
Speaker A
What was inside the blue bag today? My laptop, my house keys, and a book.
Speaker A
That is very important stuff to lose. I am very worried about my expensive laptop.
Speaker A
Let me call the driver of the train. Will the driver answer the radio right now?
Speaker A
Yes, the train is waiting at the end. I hope no one took it from the seat.
Speaker A
Most passengers are very honest in this city. I was sitting in the very first car.
Speaker A
Hello, driver. Can you check the first car? Tell him to look on the left side.
Speaker A
A passenger left a blue backpack on the left. What is he saying on the radio now?
Speaker A
He is walking to the first car now. My heart is beating very fast with worry.
Speaker A
Take a deep breath. We will find it. I should be more careful with my things.
Speaker A
The driver says he sees a blue bag. Oh, thank goodness. Does it say Anna?
Speaker A
Does it have a white name tag, driver? Please tell me it is my blue bag.
Speaker A
Yes, he says the tag says Anna clearly. I am so happy I could cry now.
Speaker A
He will bring it back to the office. How long will it take to arrive here?
Speaker A
He will be here in 5 minutes. I will wait right here by the desk.
Speaker A
Do not leave your bags on trains again. I will hold it tightly from now on.
Speaker A
That is a very good lesson to learn. Thank you for your fast help today. I will wait here.
Speaker A
You are welcome. The driver will be here soon. The wrong box. Hello, I want to return this brown box.
Speaker A
Did you buy it from our store today? Yes, I bought it 1 hour ago.
Speaker A
What is the problem with the item inside? I bought a blue lamp for my desk.
Speaker A
Yes, we sell many beautiful blue lamps here. But there is a red clock inside this box.
Speaker A
A red clock? That is a very strange mistake. I opened the box and was very surprised.
Speaker A
Let me look at the paper receipt, please. Here is the receipt from the cash register.
Speaker A
It says you paid for a blue lamp. Exactly, but the box has a red clock.
Speaker A
The factory must have put the wrong item. Can I exchange it for the real lamp?
Speaker A
Yes, I will get a new box now. Please check inside the new box first.
Speaker A
I will open it to be completely sure. I do not want to take another clock.
Speaker A
I understand. That would be very annoying. The store is very busy today. Yes, the weekend is our busiest time here.
Speaker A
Did anyone else get the wrong item today? No, you are the very first person today.
Speaker A
I guess I am just very unlucky then. I am back with a new brown box.
Speaker A
Let us open it and look inside together. I am lifting the top of the box.
Speaker A
I see a beautiful blue lamp inside it. Excellent. We found the correct item for you.
Speaker A
Thank you. The blue color is perfect. Do you want me to tape the box?
Speaker A
Yes, please tape it closed for my walk. I will use strong clear tape for it.
Speaker A
I am glad this was very easy to fix. We always want to fix our mistakes fast.
Speaker A
You have very good customer service here. Thank you. We try to be very helpful.
Speaker A
I will carry it from the bottom now. Enjoy your new blue desk lamp at home.
Speaker A
Goodbye. Thank you. Have a wonderful night. Goodbye.
