M: Where do you want to go, madam?
W: Could you take me to the airport?
M: The delivery expense is going to go up again soon.
W: You are right. What I would like to know is how much it will cost to deliver a package next month.
M: Would you please drop this book off at the library for me when you go to school?
W: I would if I were going, but I have to work today.
W: Nowadays English-speaking countries are no longer the only destinations for Chinese who want to study abroad.
M: You’re right. An increasing number of Chinese students have applied to non-English countries like Germany, for example.
W: What’s your easiest subject?
M: I never have to study for Spanish. What about your favorite class at school?
W: Well, I really enjoy English literature.
M: Yeah, that class is one of my favorites as well.
M: So, how is your new roommate?
W: She really turns me off.
M: What happened?
W: She’s always making loud noise at midnight while I’m trying to sleep and when I ask her to stop, she always makes rude remarks.
M: Why don’t you have a heart-to-heart talk with her?
W: I tried, but it didn’t work.
M: How many times did you try?
W: At least three times. I don’t know what to do with her.
M: You may go to the manager and ask him to have a talk with her. I guess that may work.
M: Good afternoon. I believe this house is for sale.
W: That’s right.
M: May I have a look at it, please?
W: Why, yes, of course. Let me show you around.
M: How long have you lived here?
W: I’ve lived here ever since my son was born, and now he’s 30.
M: Oh, that’s quite a long time. Then why do you want to sell it?
W: I’ve just retired. I want to buy a small house in the country. It’s quiet and the air is fresh there.
M: How much do you want for it?
W: $ 150,000.
M: That’s a lot of money. Can you bring it down?
W: I’m sorry but I think it’s worth the price.
M: I like the house but I can’t decide now. My wife must see it first.
W: Women always have the last word.
W: Did you know it was going to rain today?
M: Absolutely not. This comes as a total shock to me especially because the paper said it was mostly sunny.
W: Well, I guess the paper must have meant mostly sunny somewhere else. But since we’ve come all this way, why don’t we just move the blanket under that tree?
M: That’s a good idea. It looks like it’s still dry there as long as it doesn’t start to come down any harder.
W: You didn’t happen to bring a spare blanket, did you? This one is all wet now.
M: No. But I have got some folding chairs in the car. Will they do?
W: They’ll be just fine. I’m really hungry, so while you are there, how about bringing me the food?
M: I thought you were bringing the food.
W: This is unbelievable. So what now?
M: What is the name of that restaurant you like so much?
M: Can I help you?
W: Yes. I want to paint my son’s bedroom. I think sky blue is a pretty color.
M: How big is the room?
W: Not very big.
M: How many gallons of paint do you want?
W: I don’t know.
M: Look, why don’t you tell your painter to buy the paint?
W: I am the painter myself.
M: Well, then. Do you know the size of the room?
W: No. I’m sorry, I don’t.
M: Is it larger or smaller than this store?
W: It’s about half the size of this store.
M: You need two gallons.
W: Now what do I do?
M: Madam, why don’t you get a painter?
W: My son and I want to paint the room together.
M: All right. Here read these instructions. Do you want the paint now?
W: Yes, please.
M: Two gallons of sky blue. That’s $ 20.
W: Thank you. What time do you close?
M: We’re open till 8:00 tonight.
W: When you think of women in history who have been true pioneers, the name Jane Addams should come to mind. In the late 1800s, she founded Hull House, an institution called a settlement house, in Chicago, Illinois. Hull House was established as a resource for immigrants as well as for any other residents of Chicago in need of assistance. Its mission reflected the compassionate spirit of its founder. Jane Addams had visited a similar institution, called Toynbee Hall, while visiting London, England. Throughout her life, Jane Addams worked real hard. She was a skillful fundraiser, and when an economic downturn occurred, she acquired the funds necessary to keep Hull House running. She accomplished this task by writing and lecturing across the country. She continually used the money she earned to improve the lives of others. Fund raising, however, was certainly not her most noteworthy accomplishment. Addams was also a leader in the movement to secure voting rights for women. In 1931 she was honored with one of the most important awards in the world, the Nobel Peace Prize. This recognition was especially significant because Jane Addams was the first American woman ever to receive this prize. Jane Addams’s qualities will live on through others who are inspired by her courage.
