先輩教員のキースが新任のベロニカに授業の様子を尋ねています。
Keith: Hi, Veronica. How are your classes going?
Veronica: Hi, Keith. Pretty well, thanks. But I’m finding the amount of preparation a bit overwhelming.
Keith: This is your first year, so it’s natural. Just keep in mind that Rome wasn’t built in a day, OK?
Veronica: OK. I guess I’ll have to learn how to pace myself, right?
Keith: Exactly. Having a healthy work-life balance is important. Speaking of which, how about going for a drink after work?
Veronica: Great idea!

Seijun: I will. First thing in the morning. They’re in the storage room, right?
Mirei: Yes. Also, make sure you mop the floor. We have been getting some complaints from customers.

Frank: But look at the waistline. It’s too high, don’t you think?
Fiona: Not at all. It looks fine to me. The dress flows beautifully.
Frank: What if I added some sequins?
Fiona: No way. Trust me. Keep it simple. Leave it as it is.
Frank: OK. Your intuition is usually spot-on.
Fiona: Thanks.

マンション居住者の会議。司会のヒロにマリリンが、隣人の飼う犬の鳴き声について苦情を言います。
Hiro: Are there any other issues we need to discuss?
Marilyn: I hate to bring this up, but my neighbor’s dog barks late at night, and we can’t get enough sleep.
Hiro: Why don’t you just talk to your neighbor?
Marilyn: He’s never home. I know I can always rely on you for sound advice. Have you got any ideas?
Hiro: I suggest leaving a note under his door. It should be politely worded, though.
Marilyn: Can you help me write it?
Hiro: Sure.
