Hey friend, how are you?

I am well, how are you and what is going on?

I am fine, thanks for asking. you know I was searching for an answer and finally found it.

how did you find it?

After searching through books and articles for hours.

Okay that's great


Context: After searching through books and articles for hours, Jordan finally found an answer.

I couldn't find the answer anywhere on the internet. I had to go to the library to find it.

Wow, where did you find the information?

It was in this old news article from 1987. I searched four hours for it.

That's impressive! Did you find anything else interesting while you were looking?

I found something about a baby that fell into a well.

Well, that's kind of neat, too. I hope the baby was OK.


Context: Taylor asked another question in class even though the other students wanted to leave the class.

I still don't understand that math problem.

We all want to leave. I'll explain it to you later.

Sure you will. You always say that. I want the teacher to answer.

We are all starving and want to go to lunch. We're gonna miss lunch if you don't let it go.

I have a right to get my question answered.

If you don't let it go, I will hurt you after class. I am starving. We won't be friends anymore.


I really wanted to ask the professor to explain the subject further.

You know that everyone in class was tired and just wanted to go home.

I know, but it was a pertinent question.

You made the entire class sit and wait while the professor answered your question.

I know, and for that I do feel bad.

You will have to apologize to the class tomorrow.


Before we go can I just ask another question?

Taylor just ask later we all want to go.

It will only take a second.

Fine hurry up and ask then.

How much will the test count towards our final grade.

The test tomorrow will be about a quarter of your grade.


Context: Addison put their friend in the trunk of the car and then drove away very quickly.

Do you have enough room back there in the trunk.

What? I can't hear you.

Never mind, we gotta get out of here fast before anyone sees you.

Yeah, quit talking and get us outta here.

Once we get a few miles out of town we can stop and you can sit up front.

Good, it's getting hot back here.


I just got so angry at my friend so I decided to lock them in the trunk and said good luck

That is a terrible thing to do

It is but who knows these days

yea you are so right

I wont lock you in the trunk or anything don't worry about that

okay, that is a relief


Context: Addison saw that Casey was crying and wanted to let her know that she was available to talk so she put her hand on Casey's shoulder.

Addison is such a sweet friend.  The other day she saw that I was really upset and crying and she just put her hand on my shoulder and let me know that she was there if I needed her.

That's so sweet.  I always did think that Addison is a very caring person and I know she sees you as a really good friend.

I am going to her apartment later tonight and we are just going to talk and eat ice cream and complain to each other about guys, and jobs, and whatever...

I sure would love to come hang out and share my misery with you guys.

Really?  We would love to have you there!

OK, let me pack my overnight bag and maybe we can turn it into an all-girls slumber party!


I just don't know what I did wrong

Hey, man. What's going on?

Oh, sorry. I'm just...dreading telling my dad that I'm gay.

Hey, I'm here for you. You'll be fine. The rest of your family supports you, right?

Yeah, I guess. Hey, thanks for coming over to check on me.

No prob. You're a great guy and I just want to make sure you're going to be okay through all of this.


Context: Remy liked to play video games to pass the time. Remy spent hours playing video games.

I was just playing video games in my room.

Man, it seems like you've been doing that all day.

I think I've spend the last several hours playing.

Why do you love video games so much?

It helps me pass the time.

Is there any chance you can pass the time cleaning the bathroom?


I think I spent close to 12 hours playing that game this weekend.

Is it good enough to keep you entertained that long?

Yes and I'm really good at it too so I just can't stop. I don't realize the time passing.

That actually sounds kind of fun. Maybe you should do it professionally

I hear there's money to be made in e-sports. Maybe I'll look into it.

Let me know if you decide to enter a tournament because I want to see you play.


Yo bro! wanna play Call of Duty?

Ehh I'm kinda busy watching TV right now

C'mon man we're such a good duo together we had 5 wins yesterday!

True but this show is great, I think I can get on in 15 minutes after this ends

Alright sounds good I'll talk to you in 15.

Great see you then


I'm starting to get really good at video games lately.

Don't you have work you should be doing?

Life's too short. I'd rather pass the time doing something I enjoy.

And that's video games?

And that's video games.


Context: Skylar was expecting to see Addison's first child, but Addison refused to show Skylar their child.

I don't know why Addison wouldn't show me her first baby.

Did you ask Addison to see the baby?

Yes. She said her baby was napping. I stuck around for a little while.

Didn't the baby wake up for feeding?

She did, but Addison told me it was time for me to go. She said she didn't want her baby exposed to germs.

New moms are funny with their first child.


I didn't get to see Addison's child.

I thought you were invited over to their house for the new born baby celebration.

I was, but Addison didn't want me to see their first child.

That sucks. It sounds like Addison's mad at you for some reason.


I went to Addison's house the other day.

I know you were expecting to see their first child. Did you get to?

No, Addison wouldn't let me see it!

That's horrible. How did it make you feel?

I felt really bad. I don't think I'll visit them again.

I don't blame you for that.


Yesterday I had a day off work so I decided to go to Addison's house in the afternoon to see her new baby and she may as well have slammed the door in my face!

Why would Addison do that? Typically women are excited to show off their new baby and are full of pride and adoration.

I think she is still holding a grudge against me for getting the promotion she wanted so she is trying to hurt me by refusing to let me see the baby.

The only person she is hurting by not introducing the baby to you is the baby. She should want as much love and people as possible in the baby's life.

I agree but her refusing to allow me near her baby did hurt me as well. I just hope she eventually gets over our quarrel and lets me into the baby's life at some point.

Give it a little while. After women have babies, their hormones are still kind of out of whack so maybe when her hormones balance back out she will let you see the new baby.


Context: Remy couldn't take how dirty Jordan's garage was so she decided to clean out Jordan's garage.

I don't get how you can live in a place that has such a dirty garage.

Yea I just don't have the time to clean and stuff.

I'm going to do it for you this time.

Fine, and thank you for cleaning out for me


Jordan lives like a pig.

I have been a witness to that.

I cannot take how dirty his home is, especially his garage.

Tell me you did something about it.

I decided to clean out Jordan's garage.

I hope he paid you.


I spent four hours yesterday cleaning out Jordan's disgusting garage.

Why were you cleaning Jordan's garage? He should do it!

I know, but Jordan's garage was so messy that I couldn't stand it and had to do something.

You should just talk to Jordan about it next time and ask him to clean his own garage.

I did, but he kept putting it off. I had to take matters into my own hands.


Context: After visiting Canada, Tracy felt like maple syrup and strong whiskey.

Wow, I love Toronto. The hockey hall of fame and CN Tower.

Did you have real Canadian bacon and some real beer.

Just a lot of pancakes and maple syrup. Do we have any? I am hungry.

No but we have some whiskey!!

I need that too. I may move to Canada and raise moose.

I am with you, ayh?


Going to Canada took a toll on me.

What did you do?

I ate so much maple syrup and drank so much strong whiskey.

How much did you eat and drink?

So much that I feel like maple syrup and strong whiskey.

That seems like too much.


What are you in the mood for?

I actually think I want some pancakes right now.

Wow you are so similar to me right now, I would really love some maple syrup and whiskey on that.

Oh for sure, the whiskey sounds amazing.

I was just thinking about my Canada trip and how much I loved the syrup there.

I've still never been to Canada and honestly I am quite jealous of you.


Context: Alex got confused on the way home, because they were old and dementia was creeping in.

I think I’m finally losing my mind.

That comes with old age my friend.

True, but none of us want to be dealing with it.

It seems like we all are and can’t stop it from happening.

How do you cope with it?

I just take it one day at a time and learn to deal with it.


Context: Aubrey turned Sydney back around in order to keep them from getting hit by the car.

Now that was a close one, wasn't it?

It sure was! I can't believe we almost just got ran over!

I can't either! Where do some people learn to drive from?

I have no idea! Good thing you grabbed the wheel and turned us around!

Normally, I don't do that! It was just instincts that kicked in!

Well, I like your instincts that's for sure.


Context: Kendall took the kids to the museum. They liked seeing the dinosaurs.

I'm taking the kids to the museum.

That sounds fun.

They like the dino exhibit.

I love that too.

Same

Haha we're such kids.


I am at the museum with the kids!

Are the kids having fun?

They are, they liked seeing the dinosaurs

Let them have some ice cream too.

I will.


I took the kids to the museum.

Did they have fun?

They liked seeing the dinosaurs.

That's good to hear.


Context: Before Robin felt his oats, he needed to make some cookies and take care of his children.

Had to take care of the kids first and make some cookies

Did you feel the oats ?

No that was after I did all that

Glad you got it all taken care of


There is always so much to do! How do you juggle everything and keep your sanity?

No one ever said we are sane, but we just have to prioritize our daily routine.

I made cookies today, while taking care of the children, and I still have not gotten to feeling my oats.

Well now that the stuff you prioritized is done, go ahead and feel your oats!

But now I am to tired to even get up to get my oats! This is the problem!

Don't make me laugh to hard! Get your lazy butt up!


Context: Sydney took their mom to the carnival and accidentally left their wallet and keys on a table.

We had dinner with my mom at the Butcher's Block in the Millennium Fest, and I left my walled and keys on a table there.

Did you call?

Three times, but the place is popular and I can't get through on the reservations line.

You're going to have to go back to get them anyway.

Yeah, I know, but it's forty miles, and I have to cross through the metro area which is always jammed, and my driver's license is in the wallet....

Get John to drive you.


Context: Bailey found Carson's solution and it was just a simple gas filling up and nothing else.

I thought my car was busted.

How could you not think about the gas?

I always think the worst when it comes to car trouble!

Did you really check under the hood?

Yes, and everything looked fine!

And it took you an hour to check the gas meter?


I think that approach can actually solve the problem.

Right, I thought about it last night.

You are a genius Carson, thanks for helping me out.

Not a big deal, I am here for you.

I am impressed by how simple it is, just as simple as gas filling up.

That's actually were I got the idea from.


I think I may have overthought the reason for the problem

Yea, at first I did too but it was pretty simple

Would you like to go to the gas station so we can fill up the tank

Sure lets go and we can pick something to eat on the way.

sounds great.


Carson was not feeling good last night.

What was he feeling?

He was complaining of chest pain and stomach ache.

Did he go to the hospital?

No, I just gave him antacid and sure enough, he was fine.

I am glad to hear that.


Context: Cameron tried to work on commission as a stock broker. They made almost nothing.

So I failed at my new job.

What were you working as?

I was a stock broker but only working on commission.

Oh, that's tough. I'm sure you'll find something else.

Thanks. I'm pretty bummed out.

Cheer up! Let's get together soon.


I realized I wasn't going to be able to make a living as a stock broker.

They work on commission right?

Yes.  That was the problem.  I just want to make enough.

That's tough.  What do you think you'll do instead?

I'm not sure.  I have a pretty strong finance background, so maybe I'll apply for a job as a financial analyst.

Good luck.  Let me know if I can help you out in any way.


I tried to work as a stock broker but I wasn't successful.

That's too bad. What was the pay?

I was paid in commission.

That's pretty hard.

Yeah, it was. I made almost nothing.

It's a hard profession.


I'm completely broke again this week. Living on my commission is not working out.

It's no fun to be broke, that's for sure. So the trading isn't going well?

I don't seem to have a knack for picking stocks. Maybe I should quit.

You're missing out on a lot if you're always broke. Remember the concert you skipped?

Don't remind me. Journey is my favorite band, but I couldn't afford the tickets.

I guess you've got some big decisions to make.


Context: After working together for three months on a project at work, Sasha finally became Casey's friend.

I finally became Casey's friend today and we went out to lunch.

Is Casey the person you've been working together with at work?

We've worked together for three straight months on this project so we got close.

That's good to have a friend at work.

It's hard to know who I can count on sometimes at work.

There's so much office politics.


I am glad to call you a friend.

We've been three months together on this project.

I know and it's been great.

Why are you telling me this now?

I'm shy and it takes me time to warm up to people.

Well, I've liked you from the beginning--I'm glad you now feel the same.


Context: Kai would not stop bothering Jan and eventually he went to far and pissed Jan off.

I hope Jan didn't get mad at me for calling her 10 times last night

I heard she was pretty mad and told her boyfriend about you

That doesn't sound good. I heard he wanted to beat me up

You better try and stay away from Jan because she is really pissed off today


Context: Addison put Quinn's arms around his neck. They gently kissed Addison on the lips.

Quinn is such a troglodyte.

I thought you like Quinn?

I do. I love Quinn, but I am the brains in this relationship.

What do you mean?

At the party last night, to get a first kiss from Quinn, I literally had to take Quinn's arms and put them around my neck.  Then, to drive the message home, I had to make kissy faces for 10 minutes until Quinn finally figured out that I wanted a kiss.

I hope it was worth it.


I finally got Quinn to kiss me.

Oh that's just what you've been waiting for.

Well, I kind of made the first move.

It's still a step in the right direction for your relationship.

I know, I am so excited to have Quinn in my life.

I am very happy for you, since I know how long you have been searching for the right person.


I missed you Quinn!

I missed you Addison.

Come here. Give me your hands.

You are so cute, making me hold you.

I am very cute, but not as cute as you.

May I kiss you?


Context: Kendall was babysitting a neighbor's son and daughter for the day and took them to the museum.

I just got home from a babysitting job. It was fun.

Fun?? I've never had fun babysitting.

I took the kids to the History Museum. They had a blast. I couldn't believe how interested they were.

That's a good sign that they'll do well academically. Showing interest is half the battle.

That's a good thought. They're nice kids - a boy and a girl, they're my neighbors' kids.


I took the two kids to the museum today.

Which museum did you go to?

I had my neighbor's son and daughter. They love dinosaurs so we went to the Natural History one.

I love that museum. Did you enjoy it too?

Yes but mostly because the kids were so excited to see the fossils.

That must have been a great trip for them.


I was babysitting.

Whose kids did you sit for?

My neighbors kidse.

Did you do anything special?

We went to a museum.

That was a special treat for them and for you.


Context: Aubrey was creeping around the haunted house looking for someone to scare, when she saw her friends and grabbed them from behind.

I had such a good time at the haunted house!

Oh yeah I know you went with some friends

Yeah I actually saw a good opportunity to scare them!

Well I hope you didn't scare them too bad

No they actually had a good laugh about it!

Yeah it sounds like you guys had a great time


Context: After going on their first date, Alex kissed Lee deeply because he felt sparks fly.

So did I tell you about my date with Alex?

The dinner date? No, how was it?

It went really well, he ended up kissing me.

What! How was it?

It was amazing, I felt butterflies all over.

Oh my goodness! That is so cute!


I had a great first date last night with Alex.

Oh I'm so happy to hear that!

Yes, he must've been feeling the sparks fly because he gave me a very romantic kiss at the end.

Wow! Look at you!

It was really sweet. I can't wait to see him again.

I bet you can't!


Context: Due to fatigue for staying up all night, Sasha made a mess of their tests.

I am in deep trouble. Stupid PS4... I have to stop playing video.

My bad, I keep asking you to play with me. I am sure you'll make it up.

You don't understand, the tests are important. I am going to get kicked out of school.

You won't. Just buckle down then you'll bust out some killer grades.

Well, if I get kicked out then I will go work with you.

I wish you could, but they are closing our Game Stop store.


I'm sure I failed my test today.

Didn't you study?

I did but I stayed up so late that I was extremely tired during the test and couldn't concentrate.

You really should try to get more sleep. Especially when you have a big test in the morning.

I got caught up in the moment and didn't realize how late it was.

Maybe it won't be that bad.


I am sure I just failed my test.

You mean like completely bombed it?

Like a nuclear explosion went off.  There's no recovering from it.

Why did you perform so poorly?

It's my fault. I was too tired from staying up all night, not studying.

Were you out partying?


Context: Skylar took the offensive play because it seemed more prudent to be aggressive against the opponent.

Who's the man now. Yeah, I showed you

That was a bold move man. I didn't know you could be so bold.

Been working on being more aggressive. It doesn't come natural, but I've been listening to these tapes.

They seem to be working as you are more aggressive.

Perhaps sometimes too aggressive; looking now it seems I've gotten in too deep in this game.

Yeah, definitely too aggressive!


I won the chess match yesterday. I'm so happy.

That's great. So are you still in the tournament?

Yes, still in. I don't play for another week, though.

What did you do to win? Anything special?

I just went on the offensive and became aggressive because she was passive.


We are going to run the statue of liberty play because we really need to score here.

Are you sure we shouldn't play conservatively?

No are you kidding, we are down 14 with 10 minutes to go!

Okay, so we run that play and score and then what?

We need to do an onside kick because we can't stop them from scoring at all.

Let's score here and we can worry about that onside kick after.


Context: Cameron was new at school and came to the office. Quinn created Cameron's file for him.

I created a file for a new student named Cameron.

How often do you have to create files for new students?

At this time of year its really rare.

I wonder why that is?

I think it all has to do with students not transferring in and out as much.

Makes sense.


Start of the school year is always the best, getting to see the faces of old student and meet so many new ones as well.

Any new students stand out for you?

Yes, I meet a new student named Cameron today, quiet young fellow who moved here this summer.

Was he nervous?

He was, but I had him come into the office and we created a new file for him with his classes and a few of my student workers were there and joined him for lunch so I think he felt better.

That was nice of them, I am sure he felt better.


So that new guy Cameron started at school this week.

Oh yeah I've seen him around.

Well, he came into the office and I had to help create a file for him.

Did you need any extra information for that?

Yeah we had to do a photocopy of his drivers license.

That's not too bad.


Context: Sasha needed to present their thesis.  They discussed the paper in detail with their professor.

I just got back from a meeting with my professor.

Oh why did you meet him?

My thesis. It's due next week and I'm having some difficulties with some final details.

Could he help you?

Yeah he gave me some good ideas. I'm glad I went.

Well I'm sure it will turn out great!


I feel quite confident about my thesis after talking to my professor.

That’s great! Did your professor offer guidance?

Yes, he offered a lot of help and guidance.

Then you will get a perfect grade this semester.

I am really hoping for a perfect score and I will work really hard.

Great idea Sasha!


Context: Lee was looking for work in the city and found a job that had decent pay.

Did I give you the good news about my job hunt?

No! Did you find something?

I think so! I spent a lot of time looking lately and found something that seems like a good fit for me.

Wow, awesome. How much does it pay?

It pays twice as much as what I was earning so I am excited.

I hope you get the position!


I got lucky today.

How so?

You know I've been looking for work in the city, right?

Yes, you've been looking for a few weeks now.

Well, I finally found a job with decent pay!

Good for you, Lee!


I got a new job in the city.

Really? What is it?

I'll work at a coffee shop!

So you're going to learn how to make coffe?.

I hope so, I can't wait to make cool art lattes.

That will be a lot of fun!


Context: Alex worshiped Jesus in their way even though everyone said it was the wrong way to do it.

Did you know that people have issues with how I worship?

It seems like people have problems with how we do everything.

I'm going to have to be better at ignoring people.

I've become an expert at it.

Maybe you  can give me some lessons.

You name the time and place and I'll be there.


I love Jesus what about you?

Yes I love Jesus too, but can I ask why you raise your hands while worshipping?

I want to show my love for the Lord.

Well I think it's maybe a bit too much.

You can worship God in your way and I will do it my way.

Fair enough.


Context: Sasha gave their baby up for adoption since she was too poor to raise a new child.

Wow, I am so depressed after giving up the baby.

Sorry Sash, but it was the right thing to do.

I know but I should have planned it out better.

Well, that's true but your boyfriend took off which doesn't help

What a bastard but I am dating his buddy now.

Girl, what is wrong with you?


I know it's a decision I made, but I still don't know how to feel about giving up my baby for adoption.

It's okay. You can talk to me about it.

I just know I can't financially take care of a baby at the moment.

At least the baby will have a good life.

I still feel like a bad person.

A bad person wouldn't feel bad about something like this.


Context: Jesse was going on holiday but was working so hard to get the time off they were unable to go shopping for all their holiday clothes so they decided to have a look online to see what was available.

I can't believe I had no time at all to do any shopping for my vacation.

Why is that?

I've just been working so hard.

So what are you going to do to get some clothes?

I'm just gonna shop for them online and get them delivered.

Sounds like a great idea.


Context: Tracy talked to Ash under the table about how to get the deal done in time.

So what do you think

I think I can talk a good game and see if I can get a deal done under the table

Let me just see what happens and I can work this deal out

Sounds like a good deal and let me know what happens.


Just got an info on how the deal is gonna be done quickly.

How?

Tracy had to talk to me under the table telling me on how to it done in time.

Sounds good.

Yeah, let's move.

Okay man.


Context: Tracy asked Austin's family over for dinner for the first time since they started to date.

Austin's family is going to come over for dinner tomorrow night.

You finally worked up the courage to invite them over?

Yeah, but I have so much to prepare.

I can come over before and help you with the cooking, that way you can decorate.

You would do that for me?

Yeah sure.


Austin thanks for coming to meet my family.  I know this is a next big step in our relationship but it means a lot to me

Yeah, even though we've been dating for less than a month, I think its important that I get to know you super well

Of course, and I want to get to know you better in the process

Yeah its a great! Both our families will finally meet each other.

Yeah I like this a lot and I think it is awesome

I'm glad we're doing this and excited to see how it'll be with both of our families


Context: Jordan explain another reason why they were late, but their boss wasn't buying it.

I tried to explain another reason why we are late.

What kind of reason do you tell our boss now?

I told him that the train we are boarding got an emergency stop.

Is that true? or are you just making it up?

It's true but our boss wasn't buying it.

Too bad for you.


Context: Lee was seeing another person, so Lee turned Skylar's affections away.

I really like Skyler but I’m in a relationship right now.

She’s a great girl and I hope that she finds someone.

I have no doubt in my mind that she will find someone.

Yeah, hopefully you didn’t break her heart too much.

No, I let her down easily.

That's good to hear.


Context: Jan planted a garden in her backyard but gave up on it quickly after something went wrong.

They just keep dying

I'm sure it will be in the end

I really thought this garden would be great

well it was a good idea

I'm done with it, I think I'm going to tear it down and put a pond in

That will look nice


I don't know what happened to my plants, they all just died.

Did you forget to water them or something?

I thought I watered them frequently but maybe not because none of them made it.

Maybe you should read a book about gardening or look up some information online.

I think I just don't have enough free time to pay enough attention to the plants.

How much attention do they need? I thought they were plants and just needed some soil and water.


Context: Lee met with a friend they hadn't seen in a long time and Lee laughed together with a friend while catching up over dinner.

I'm glad we meet it's been so long.

Thanks for coming to dinner, it's been about five years!

that's right! such a long time!!!

We have to do dinner more often.

sounds good.

Tacos next time!


I had such a good time over dinner with my friend

Is it someone you haven't seen for a long time?

I haven't seen them in years but we finally met up and it was so much fun

I love those dinners with old friends you haven't seen in a long time

Yeah me too.


It was so great that we could get together for dinner and catch up.

I know, It's been so long.

I still can't believe that you remember that day when I tripped in front of everyone in high school.

How could I forget, it was hilarious.

Maybe for you, I still have the scar from the desk.

It's something you'll always look at and laugh back on.


I can't believe it has been so long since I have seen you man.

I know, it feels like it has been 20 years but it's only been 5.

Where does the time go?

Well time definitely made us look a lot older and definitely a little more fat.

Fat? I don't think so I have abs of steel.

Judging by that double slice of chocolate cake you ordered I bet your abs are really showing out today aren't they big boy.


Context: Austin was feeling generous after getting a big bonus at work, so Austin took the family out to dinner.

Hello, I'm good , what's up?

I just got a big bonus, so I'm treating the family and take them out for dinner

That's terrific! So the job is going well?

It's great, thank you so much for helping me getting the job.

I knew you'd be a good fit.


I got a big bonus at work.

That must have been a surprise.

The bonus made me feel generous.

What did you do?

I took the family out to dinner.

That's awesome.


Context: Jan was very overweight and due to medical issues her doctor advised her she needed to cut back on her food intake.

How am I looking doc?

Your diabetes isn't very well controlled.

I figured, I've gotten to be very overweight.

I suggest you cut back on your food intake, losing some weight will help with your diabetes.

I suppose you're right.

Try cutting 500 calories out of your diet per day to start.


I'm not eating much.

Why?

Due to my overweight, doctor have advise me to cut back on food intake.

That's good, it's necessary for your medical issues.

Yeah.

Let me know if I can help somehow.


My doctor told me I'm going to have to go on a diet.

If that was your doctor's advice, it must be for health reasons.

I've been gaining a lot of weight lately and my doctor think it's bad for my heart.

I've put on a few pounds myself these last few months, so maybe we can diet together.

That's a great idea. I'd love to.

Oh, Riley! I am so worried I won't do well.

I know that you will do great.

Riley, you are so silly and thoughtful. Thank you, you're a great sister .


Context: Taylor was telling Kai a story. They filled Kai's mind with ideas.

So if I pick up ballots from the seniors then give them to you, their votes will be counted?

Yes but you have to go door to door and get their signed ballots then meet me at the shredding service

Shredding service? Not the post office?

Yes the shredding service, you will be helping the environment by collecting the signed ballots and bringing to the shredder.

But will it be safe to have all these ballots on me? Shouldn't I go to the post office.

Yes, Donny will met you there. He will be very proud of your service to America. Donny knows where the post office is.


That gives me a great idea.

What are you going to do?

I don't know, the story just gave me a few ideas.

I hope they are good ideas and not just a waste of time.

I think they will be greatt.

Do you want to run them by me?


Context: Since Skylar was very busy with the meeting, Cameron asked if she could use Skylars phone to play games while she waited for Skylar.

Skylar, do you think I could use your phone to play a couple of games while I wait for you?

Sure Cameron, but just use the games that are already downloaded to the phone.

You mean I can't download any?

Right. My phone has been acting up.

Do you have something like hangman?

Yeah, it's on there.


Hey Skylar, since you are busy, can I use your phone for now?

What do you want to do with my phone, Cameron?

I'm just gonna go and play games while I wait for you.

Okay, that's fine if you play but just let me know if I get any messages.

Thanks and I will let you know if anything shows up.

Cool, I won't be too long with this meeting I hope.


I got to play all these games on Skykars phone when she was in the meeting.

That was nice of her. Did you play that pool game?

Yeah, I love playing pool. She was so busy with the meeting I played for an hour at least.

You need to get your own phone.

Only if my parents let me.


How much longer is the meeting going to last?

I'm not sure. There are still many items to discuss on the agenda.

I wish a cafe was open right now.

What else can you do to entertain yourself while you wait?

Can I use your phone to play games while waiting?

Yes, just make sure the volume is turned down so it doesn't interrupt anyone.

Take off your shoes.

wow that does help.

It's been a long day.

take a drink too it'll help so much.

Oh yes good idea.


Ugh, what a long day dude.

Tell me about it. Did you get home safely?

Yeah, and I immediately started to crash. Took off my shoes right away and put my slippers on. The TV was calling me!

You deserved it after all that hard work!

Once I put my shoes away in the cabinet, I turned on the TV and immediately escaped into Game of Thrones mode.

Haha, I've binged that series too. It was worth it!


It's been a tough day.

Take off your shoes and put on your slippers.

I'll just put my shoes in the cabinet.

That's fine; you can put them in the closet later.

I could use a drink.

What would you like?


Context: Sydney received some medicine for the cold she gave Riley so she gave her some medicine.

My mom sent me a bunch of cold medicine so I'm sharing it with Riley.

That is sweet of your mom and so kind of you to share.

I feel bad that I gave Riley my cold so I'm happy to share.

It's hard not to share germs in a dorm room as small as yours.

Yeah. I just hope we both knock this thing out and recover quickly.

You will. You have an arsenal of stuff to take.


Context: At the annual Halloween festival, Jan let Bailey have another try at the ring toss game when she just needed one more point to win the big stuffed bear.

I let Bailey have a free extra go at the ring toss at the festival.

That was generous of you!

I wanted her to win that big, stuffed bear.

Well did she manage to win the bear?

Yes, the final ring gave her enough points to win the bear.

That's great!


I would like to let Bailey take another try at the ring toss game.

That would not be fair.

I think Bailey has come so close that she should have a chance to win the bear.

If Bailey gets another chance, everyone should get another chance.

If that is what is necessary, then everyone, including Bailey should get another chance.

I think you are bending over backwards to let Bailey have a chance to win the bear.


I was at the Halloween festival with bailey.

I'm sure it was fun at the festival?

Yes it was, we had a ring toss game

Did Bailey participate too?

Yes! I helped her by having another try at the game when she needed one more point to win the big stuffed bear.

Wow! That's nice of you.


Context: When building a new gazebo for a client, Taylor exceeded the allowed distance between pillars in diameter.

I just finished building a new gazebo for a client.

How does it look?

Great, but I'm worried. I exceeded the allowed diameter distance between pillars.

Relax. Just stay quiet and no one will know the difference.

What if the state inspectors notice it?

The state can barely notice anything. And even if they do, you can always slip the inspector a few bucks on the side.


Context: Kai was thoroughly enraged with his roommates when he discovered what was done in his house while he was away.

I cant believe my roommates painted my room black when I was away at work.

What's wrong with having your room black?

It just looks so dark and depressing and I hate it.

Just tell them to change it back and that you don't like it.

I just don't like confrontation and don't want to do it.


I was having a deep discussion with my friends.

You do that a lot.

In the midst of the discussion I discovered what was done in my house while I was away.

I had heard about what happened there.

They tried to hide it from me by engaging me in a deep discussion.

I am so sorry for what was done.


I'm home! What on earth happened here? The place is a mess and half of the decorations are broken!

Your roommates invited some people over for a small get together that turned into a massive party when guests invited their friends along with them.

I am not cleaning any of this. My roommates are responsible so they can clean it up! And who is going to replace all of my broken decorations?

Relax, there's no need to get angry over spilled milk. I am sure they will get it all cleaned up today and you can buy more decorations.

No, some of those were heirlooms that are irreplaceable. This is completely unacceptable! I'm going for a walk to cool off and when I get back this place better be put back together or I'm kicking them out. I can easily find other roommates that will not do something like this while I'm gone.

Would you calm down, they are cleaning up right now.


Context: Addison made oatmeal for breakfast because they heard it was a healthy way to start the day and feel full longer.

I'll feel so much better during the day today.

Why do you think so?

Because I had oatmeal for breakfast.

What a great breakfast.

Yes it's very healthy and keeps you fuller longer.

That's wonderful.


I'm going on a new diet.

What kind of a diet is it?

Not a full diet, I'm just eating oatmeal for breakfast.

What are the benefits of oatmeal?

I heard it's a healthy breakfast and I'll feel full longer.

I look forward to seeing if it works.


I have to ask you, do you ever eat oatmeal for breakfast?

Sometimes, why do you ask?

My friend told me that oatmeal was a great way to start the day. Get off to a healthy start and have that full feeling for longer than I would.

Yeah, they're right. Usually a quick bowl of oatmeal fills me up to the point where I don't eat again until lunch

Well, nobody's told me this before! Wish they would have.

Hey, now you know!


Context: Bailey has a new pet parrot named Ash. She doesn't want it to fly around her house when she has visitors, so she clipped Ash's wings.

I don't like that I can't fly.

Why is that?

I feel trapped all the time. I am supposed to feel the freedom of flight.

Can you ever fly again?

I don't think so, only in my dreams.


I hate my owner. I can't fly anymore. What a cruel human.

Well, look on the bright side, you get feed everyday and you have protection from animals like me.

What do you mean protection. Humans are the worst! They think they run the world.

I had my claws removed, so you are lucky. I can only pat you to death.

That is so inhumane even for cats that I really hate.

I am sure you don't know who you hate more. But let's eat. Its free everyday. Not sure where is comes from.


Hello, Hello!

Ash you are getting your wings clipped.

Ash fly Ash fly.

No more flying around the house.

No clip!

Yes, clip. You scare my guests.


Context: Cameron took sides with them and the others were appreciative that it lead to their success.

Yes, I'm looking forward to catching up with them over dinner.

Tell them I say hello!

The other night I laid down to sleep and I heard a noise so I sat up to take a look around.

What was it?

It was a huge spider sitting on my pillow. I screamed!

How scary! Did you kill it?

No I just sort of freaked out and swung the pillow all over. Then I couldn't find the spider. I went and slept on my couch.

Oh my gosh! I wouldn't have been able to sleep!


I woke up my parents last night, which really annoyed them.

What made you wake them up?

I heard a noise next to me while I was in bed, so I turned on the light and saw a huge spider crawling on my pillow.

That's disgusting! I hate spiders.

I know, I let out a really loud scream in shock.

I would have done the same!


Oh man that was nerve wrecking.

What was Robin?

We were in the dark when I heard the noise on the bed. Then we turned the light on and saw the biggest spider ever on the pillow. I screamed in a panic.

Wow, that sounds scary.

We went to the amusement park.

That must have been fun.

It was fun and I had a great time.

I am glad to hear that.

When it was time to leave the amusement park in the late evening I did not want to leave.

No one wants to give up on a good thing.


My least favourite part of visiting the amusement part is closing time.

I know what you mean. It is always hard to end a good time.

Yeah we were having so much fun and then it was time to leave and I got really bummed out.

I guess that is what makes visiting so special each time.

That's true I am looking forward to the next visit.

Of course! I am hoping I get to go soon. Maybe I can take you along!

What museum did you go to?

I went to the science and history one.

Why were you there?

I took Jesse's students on a field trip.

Sounds like Jesse owes you one.


We all had a great time at the museum.

I love that you were able to get the kids out of the classroom to do some hands-on learning and observation.

To me, that is the best way to learn

I've heard of a lot of benefits of that technique and will have to try it out myself one day.

If you need any help let me know.

Thank you very much, I appreciate you.


I think the kids are really going to enjoy the field trip.

They have been talking about if al month and seem excited.

I just hope they all bring permission slips so that we don't have any problems.

It would be a shame if someone cant go on the trip if they don't have one.


Context: Jordan looked sad eating lunch alone, so Alex sat beside Jordan.

It'9s the little things that count these days.

More people need to be kind and do those little things because the world needs it.

I know, I'm just trying to be one of those people.

I'm following suit with you, I am going to do little things like that in the future as well.

Maybe we are onto something here.

Hopefully the rest of the school catches on and will have a whole community of people doing little kind gestures.


Jordan looked lonely today eating lunch.

That's sad, did he not have anyone to sit with?

I guess not, so I went and sat with him.

That's very nice of you!


Context: Riley had dirty dishes after dinner with their family. Riley washed their dishes.

I had dinner with my family last night, and there was a ton of dirty dishes.

I hate doing the dishes! What did you guys eat?

Mom made lasagne, but I did the dishes. She had been in the kitchen all day.

That's nice of you. I miss your mom's lasagne. I wish you could bring me some leftovers!

We didn't have any! Mom's lasagne never lasts long.

Oh man, well, next time I'll invite myself over for dinner.


I had dirty dishes.

You better clean that up before the movie.

They look terrible.

It's going to take hours.

I am sure it won't take that long.

That's true I just need to get started.


I made a big meal for my family earlier.

Did it turn out well?

Yes, the food was good and everyone was happy, but there were so many dishes!

That's always the worst part about cooking, isn't it?

I had so many dirty dishes after they left. I had to wash them all, one by one! It took an hour!

At least it was worth it!

He's been such a great companion and he's so smart, too!

I'll bet! Border collies are a very smart breed!

He's got you trained already!

I just really enjoy performing.

I can tell. Keep up your good work!

Well thanks I do try.

Keep this up and I am sure your boss will give you a promotion soon.


Context: Kai was saving for a car because theirs broke down, so Kai saved all their money.

I really need a new car.

Ever since your car broke down our little clique has been suffering.

Walking and riding the bus is no fun.

What's your plan, are you going to repair this one?.

I don't know, but I'm saving all my money for now. I saw a cheap car that looked like it might work for me.

Just make sure it won't end up breaking down on you too.


I've been saving every penny since my old car broke down.

Are you hoping to buy another?

Yes. I almost have enough.

Will you get the same type?

Probably. I want a slightly used one and they have a lot of those in the dealership.

Good luck!

He blasted his horn at me.

That was no accident.

Skylar has made the 5 year club!

She hasn't missed any days at work either?

None at all in 5 years.

Your boss should give both of you a week off from work, for being such dedicated employees.


Skylar got an award today for not missing a day of work in 5 years.

That's pretty good. Hey didn't you get that same award?

I did. I didn't miss a day of work my first five years either.

Have you missed a day of work since?

I have. But it's still a pretty big accomplishment.

It's a huge accomplishment. It's pretty rare these days to not call out at least once.


Skylar has been working so hard recently.

She looks like she hasn't had a day off in a long while.

She hasn't had a day off in five years!

Wow, that is dedication! Has anyone else achieved that?

Only me!

I'm glad you were there with them.

They enjoyed the story I read to them to

That's a good way to get their minds of the storm.

I made them hot chocolate too.

I am sure they appreciate you.


My kids were really scared by that storm last night.

My dog didn't like it either. What did you do to calm them?

I made some hot chocolate and read a story to them to help them relax.

That sounds like a good idea. How well did it work?

Pretty well, they seemed to be relaxed and fell asleep soon after.

That's good!  I'm glad you were able to help them.


The kids were so scared in that storm. I had to make them some hot chocolate and tell them a story.

That is nice. When I was a kid I just got told to be quiet and go to my room for crying about stuff like that.

Things were so different back in the day.

I don't want the kids scarred like we were.


Context: Sasha set it down at defiance of the wishes of others because they wanted sasha to play the instrument.

You better hope so because security is looking at you and he doesn't look happy.

Why didn't you drive?

It was a nice day and we decided to walk.

I would have just taken the car.


I will walk close to the side of the side walk

Why are you doing that?

So I can walk to the street next to my girlfriend.

Aren't you supposed to be on the other side?

I did not think about that.

Just make sure to look out for cars.


My girl and I went to a new coffee shop today.

That's cool, I thought I saw you guys in the neighbourhood.

Yeah I was walking closer to the street because she gets nervous.

Was she hit by a car or something?

No her brother was, now she gets really nervous walking next to the road.

Oh wow, I had no idea.


Context: Carson assisted Casey and made a game winning goal. They made a good team.

Casey was the real reason that we won!

It was both of you. If she hadn't helped you, you would not have got that goal.

We make a pretty good team.

Did you see the goal I scored!

I did, it was such a nice goal!

I wouldn't have been able to do it with Casey helping me out.

The two of us make such a great team!

You two really do!


I'm thrilled that my team won the soccer game today!

Congratulations. You played amazingly.

Thank you! I was happy I saw Casey near the goal when I was controlling the ball. I was able to make a perfect pass to her to assist on the winning goal.

That was a pretty epic pass that you made to her.

I know. We make such an excellent team.

You guys should start collecting autographs.


I love having Casey on my team.

I love you two a pair.

I assisted him and made the winning goal!

You should always play with Casey.

Yes! We make a good team.


That was an amazing shot. I can't believe that Casey made it.

Casey and I work so well together.

If we keep practicing we will be getting better and better.

Of course. It's going to be a tough exam, so I want to help.


I fell asleep during the final exam. I can't believe it.

Hopefully the class grades on the curve.

I think it does. I am going to ask the professor to see if he can help me out.


Context: Remy saw Skylar's offended reaction and laughed at her, feeling like she got to her.

I can't believe Remy would say that!

What did she say?

She is just being very insensitive .

You should speak to her about it.

She is just so mean, she even laughed at me!

There was no need for her to laugh at you.


I really want to wipe that smirk off of Remy's face, she got me so angry.

I understand, Skylar.  She had no right to laugh at you like she did.

I can't stand her, she really gets on my nerves.

Just try to move on and forget about it.

That's easier said than done for me. I don't like being laughed at.

It's not worth your time being angry at her.

No, she only gave me a card.

I'm sorry, man. You should talk to her.


Context: Aubrey was a difficult person so no one knew if they should introduce her or if she suited one's friend.

Nobody likes me. It is so hard making friends.

Well you are difficult to get along with. I don't know who can take your strong personality when it comes to introducing you to other people.

That's really hard to hear, what can I do about it?

Maybe try and be a bit less defensive and more approachable.

Thanks for the advice, I will give that a try.

No problem Aubrey.


Sometimes I think I'm to fussy.

Yeah, you can be difficult sometimes.

Yeah, I think that's why its hard for me to make friends.

I'd think about it if I were you.


No one ever talks to me or introduces me to anyone.

Why do you think that is?

I can be a difficult person sometimes.

Why don't you change the way you approach people?

I can try.

I can help you.


Context: Remy explained to Aubrey again how upset he was that she didn't show up for dinner.

I was stuck in traffic so I did not make it to dinner.

It was beyond my control.

I guess next time, you have to leave earlier.

I was busy cooking and I lost track of time.

Try again another day.


I missed dinner and I didn't hear the end of it from Remy. He was calm but he explained to me three times why it was messed up that I didn't show for dinner.

He was trying to guilt trip you.

He succeeded. I felt so bad afterwards that I said I would take him out to dinner to make it up.

Was he happy about that?

He said he would feel better about that so things are cool with us again.

He just wants your attention.


Context: Taylor failed the first time they took the test, but quickly learnt from their mistakes and aced it the second time around.

A little. I thought I could pass it easily. But, I didn't.

You did pass it the second time, didn't you?

Yes, but it was embarrassing to fail it the first time around.


I failed the test the first time.

Did they let you take it again?

Did you pass this one?

The study graphs you gave me helped a lot.

Yeah! Lets order some pizza tonight and watch a movie.

Sounds like fun. I can't wait.

The hat was a great addition too.

I felt stupid wearing that hat.

You looked great!


I went to the beach with my grandma Tracy today.

But you are so fair skinned. Don't you worry about burning?

She brought a strong sunscreen and put a hat on me which I didn't want to wear, but it helped.

It was thoughtful of her to bring you a hat.

It was, but I am not really a hat person.

A sun hat is more of a utility item than for style.

What did you do?

I told him how rude he was being, and how someone of poor taste shouldn't be trying to impose his views on me!

Great, I bet that stopped him!


You wouldn't believe the nerve of that man on the subway train!

What man? What happened? Are you okay?

Apparently, he had to pee, but couldn't hold it, or didn't want to, so he just started to pee right on the moving train!

Are you serious? And no one did anything?

I did! I started to yell at him and rang the bell for security because their were children on that train!

Well good for you for sticking up for yourself and others!

Well you did a great job on Jesse's bike, the tire doesn't wobble anymore, what was wrong with it?

The wobbling was caused by the frame being a little bent, I just bent it back.

Good thing you had those tools in the car.


I helped Jesse with his bike earlier.

Do you have much experience?

It was my first time doing any bike repairs.

Did you manage to solve the problem?

Yes, I was able to rid Jesse's bike of its wobble.

Wow, great job!


My friend Jesse's bike was wobbly. I told him I would try to help. I have a few tools.

You know how to fix bikes?

Not really but I have watched some videos online.

Nice. That's how I learn to do anything.

I messed with it and was able to fix the wobble. Jesse was so happy.

You are a handyman.


Context: Skylar ordered Tracy to wash the dishes, fold the laundry, and vacuum the floor. Tracy obeyed Skylar's order and washed the dishes.

I feel so miserable living with Skylar.

But you guys are the cutest couple.

Maybe, but he's so bossy. He orders me to wash the dishes, fold the laundry, and vacuum the floor.

So tell him you won't do those things, and you want to share the responsibilities.

I should, but I always just obey his orders and wash the dishes myself.

That's really unfortunate. You need to stand up for yourself.


Context: Jan and their friends went to an amusement park last Saturday. Jan had a lot of fun.

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to go to the park last Saturday, it was way overdue!

Yes, you have all been so cooped up, I am sure it was a great day!

Oh my gosh, I had so much fun, the rides were amazing and the shows are always so funny.

I'm so glad everyone had fun, you all really needed that.

It was a good time, we need to do that more often

I was thinking the same thing, how about next time I join you?


I thought it was a really great amusement park. They had some awesome rides.

They really did. That Rocket Rider roller coaster was the best.

Yeah, that wasn't bad. My favourite was the Ghost Manor attraction.

You and your haunted houses. Those are always your favourite.

What can I say? I like the spirit world more than the real world.

I'll admit it, that haunted house was pretty cool. It actually scared me a couple times!


My friends and I were screaming our heads off on that ride at the amusement park last Saturday!

I heard that ride was a wild one.

That day was a great day!

That amusement park has so many good rides.

I know, we should go to it sometime.

Good idea. Maybe we can next weekend.


I wish that you could have come to the amusement park with us!

I know, but I had to go to my Granny's

We rode all the rides, and got cotton candy!

Amusement parks can be a lot of fun!


Context: Sydney wasn't doing too well in school. Casey gave Sydney every opportunity to improve their grades.

I don't know what I'm going to do about Sydney. She's failing all her classes.

That's surprising. She's so smart.

Well she's discovered boys this semester and so school is now taking a back seat.

That makes sense. I think my grades started to suffer at about her age if I remember correctly.

Well unfortunately if she wants to get into the college she's chosen she is going to have to pick it up. I've given her so many chances this year to do better but she just won't listen. I'm going to have to start grounding her.

Well she'll be mad at you now, but in the long run it's the right move.


Sydney is not doing well in school.

Do you have any idea why, Casey?

No idea, I am just supporting her right now by giving all the opportunity where she can improve her grades.

You are such a good friend Casey.

I am just doing what I feel is right.

Good luck to both of you.


Sydney is not doing very well in school at the moment.

I know, I think she is having a hard time learning the subject.

Why don't we help her, we can study together.

That might really help a lot.

Okay, great. I hope that it works.

Me, too. I would like us all to do well.


Context: With his farming skills, Jordan produced tons of corn annually so he could sell it to his neighbors.

I have no idea where to put all this corn. I sold so much to the neighbours.

Well, I am sure they will buy more.

I am not sure. I cut the price down in half and its not moving.

Maybe next year you should cut down production.

I guess you're right. Maybe I can learn to make cornbread, tortillas, breakfast cereal or high fructose corn syrup.

Hey, that's the entrepreneurial spirit!


The harvest was good this year.  There's a ton of corn that I could sell to my neighbours.

They can make corn tortillas with them.

Corn anything. There's so much corn I don't know what to do with them.

Have you tried to sell them to the grocery stores?

There's this one grocery store in town I am selling it to.

Good, you should make a profit on them.


I'm very excited about my new business venture.

What kind of business do you have now?

I am growing corn and selling it to my neighbours.

That sounds interesting.

I also set up at the local farmers market every weekend.

I bet you get a lot of customers there.


I've come up with a way to make money.

Oh really, what's that?

Since I can farm, and have lots of land, I'm growing a lot of corn.

How is that going to make you money?

I'm going to sell it to my neighbours. They like corn.

Great! I'll buy some corn from you too!


Context: Carson asked Addison for help in finding a location for his party and Addison found the perfect place.

I am so grateful for Addison and her help with my party.

She is really good at party planning!

Well I had been searching for a location for two weeks and was starting to lose hope.

She came through in a big way then?

Yes she found me the perfect location at a great price.

I am glad it all worked out for you guys!


Addison found me the perfect spot to have the party at.

Where is it?

Downtown at a rooftop bar. It's got great views.

That's so great. How did Addison book it?

He knows the manager and they gave us a good time spot.

Wow you are going to have a great time.


Context: Alex was always the fixer of the group, as such she quickly remedied the situation.

The other day I had to smooth things over between Kendall and Riley because they got into another argument.

It seems like those two are always arguing!

I know. I don't know why they even get together because they can never seem to agree. I had to calm them both down and get the conversation back on a good topic.

Well at least you were there to try to calm them down, but like you said why do they even talk?

I will never understand that!

I just avoid them because I don't want to be in the middle of an argument.


Hi, how was your day? I had a touchy situation at work, but it turned out alright in the end.

My day was good, the situations where I work are always touchy because I'm a massage therapist, you know.

So, a couple of my employees bickered over who would get to go to lunch first.

My personal feeling is that life is too short for stuff like that, but how did it end?

I did what any good boss would do. I told them to flip a coin. I'm the boss, so they did it. Amy got to go to lunch before Bertha.

Well, all's well that ends well, I think you did the right thing.


Context: Sasha gave her mom the money, even though she knew if would just be spent on booze.

So my mom asked for money again. She knows I just got paid.

Did you give it to her?

I did, even though I felt really bad about it. All she is going to spend it on is booze.

Why do you give her money if you know she is going to spend it on booze?

I feel bad because she is my mom. I feel like I should help her.

I am sorry. I hope that she can get her act together.


I had no choice to give the money to my mom.

She's going to spend it all on booze.

She said she was hungry and needed food.

That's what she says but you know it's not true.

I know, but just in case she decides to do the right thing.

You are going to go broke supporting her drinking habit.


I had a hunch, I swear I did.

What do you mean?

It's my mother again, same time same look on her face.

Don't tell me she asked you for money again!

Yeah, and I give in anyway, and like I predicted she went and spent it on booze!

Sasha at some point you have to put your foot down and get her the help she needs!


I was right, I ended up giving my mom that money against my better judgement, and sure enough, she bought booze with it!

If you knew she was going to buy booze why did you give it to her?

I honestly don't know, maybe I feel obligated sometimes and her guilt trips don't help the situation.

I think you should stick to your guns and say no next time, she will deal with it.

I always say I am going to do that and then she starts making me feel bad.

Well her problem is not yours so let her start figuring it out without you.


My mom came to visit me today.

Was she sober? What did she want?

She was sober, she was asking me for money.

You didn't give her anything right? She's just going to buy booze with it.

I did give her some money and told her to go buy herself food.

Sasha, you know that's not going to happen.


Context: Carson lost his job and couldn't pay rent. He got evicted from his apartment and moved in with his parents.

Hey friend, how are you?

I am well how are you?

I am not well, It is a bad time for me, I lost my job and got evicted from my apartment and moved in with my parents.

I am so sorry to hear that.

Yes, I am very tense at the moment.

Don't worry, keep applying and I am sure you will get a job very soon.


I'm going to have to move in with my parents because I got evicted.

Oh no. I am sorry to hear that. Can I help you with anything?

Well, I need to find another job because I lost mine. So if you hear about jobs tell me?

Okay, I will make sure to keep you notified of anything that I hear about.


Life has been pretty rough lately.

I'm sorry to hear that. What's going on?

Well first I lost my job, then I got evicted and had to move back in with my parents.

Oh wow. That's a lot. I' m sorry to hear that.

Thanks, these things happen I suppose.

I guess so. I am sure you will get back on your feet soon.


Things are going downhill fast.

What seems to be the trouble?

I lost my job, I couldn't pay the rent and I got evicted from my apartment.

Where are you living now?

I moved in with my parents.

Did they give you a curfew?


Context: Kai was driving to Alaska on a gravel road. Kai made it halfway there.

I thought that I would make it to Alaska.

I am sorry that the moose jumped out in front of your truck.

At least I made it halfway there, before having to be airlifted to the hospital.

We thought that you were going to die.

Thank you flying up to stay with me in the hospital, while I recovered.

The truck can be replaced, you can't my friend.


Hello, I need some help!

What's up and where are you?

My car just broke down right on a gravel road going to Alaska.

That's serious man. How can I help?

It would be really helpful if you can get a car mechanic out here for me.

Alright, I will do that immediately.


I tried to drive up to Alaska last week.

That's a fun drive, did you make it the entire way there?

No, I ended up stuck on the side of the road.

That's not good. Was it a bad road?

Yes, it wasn't paved, just gravel.

Yeah, gravel roads can be hard to travel on.


Context: Taylor and Quinn had known each other for a long time, but it wasn't until they found a hobby in common that they became friends.

I have know Taylor for a long time.

Longer than you have known me.

It wasn't until we found a hobby in common that we became friends.

What is the hobby?

Collecting stamps.

That is a great hobby.


Taylor and I have started knitting together and it has been a lot of fun.

I have never tried it, how did you guys get into it?

Well I have been doing it for years, but Taylor just recently started. We had no idea we both were into knitting though!

That's funny and you have known each other for so long!

I know, but nonetheless we have been having tons of fun doing it together now.

Wow, maybe I will stop by and you guys can show me how to get started.


Context: Carson didn't want their old jacket anymore, so Remy sold Carson's jacket at a reasonable price.

Remember the jacket Carson gave me last month, the one he didn't want anymore?

I sure do, did it fit you?

Actually no, it was just too small so I listed it for sale at a thrift shop.

Oh awesome, has it sold yet?

It did, I sold it for $15.

Great job that was a very reasonable price.


I sold that old jacket Carson didn't want anymore.

Oh wow did it sell for much?

I got a decent price for it.

Will Carson let you keep the money?

He will let me split it with him.

That's great news.


Does Carson still want that old jacket he had?

The jean one? No I think that's too small for him.

Oh wow, would he mind if I sell it.

I think that would be fine, but probably best to ask him first to be sure.

That's a good point, I will ask him first thing tomorrow.

That sounds great.


Carson was really glad that I was able to sell his jacket for a fair price.

Thanks for telling me about it, it is perfect for me!

If he has anything else to sell I will let you know.

I appreciate that since paying for college is taking up most of my money.

Did you ever think about getting a part time job?

There is no way I can work this semester with 19 credit hours.


Context: Skylar was determined to win the championship race, but at the starting line they started running before the signal and were disqualified.

I can't believe one simple mistake and I am disqualified!

What did you do?

I started running a bit too early by accident.

I'm sorry to hear that, you trained so hard for that race too.

At least there will be a next one.

Yes and I'm sure you'll rock that one!


Context: Addison called their parents into Skylar's office, after they arrived to see what all the fuss was about.

Man, I'm going to be grounded for a year.

Why? What did you do?

I got into a fight with a girl at school because she pulled my hair and Skylar called my parents.

Did they have to come to the school?

Yes, they both had to take time off of work. They are so mad at me. I do not want to go home today.


I had to call my parents into Skylar's office today.

How come?

Well I wanted to tell them personally that I got a promotion!

That's great!

I was so excited, I have worked so hard for this.

I am sure they are very proud of you.


Context: Quinn thought Taylor's clothes looked bad. Quinn effected Taylor changed her clothes.

Quinn really thinks I don't dress well!

That's so mean of him.

Could you help me out?

Of course!

Thanks, I am thinking of trying something new.

I'll take you out this Friday, it will be fun!


Quinn told me my clothes looked bad, so I changed into something else.

Why did she say that?

I thought it was hurtful, but you know Quinn she speaks her mind.

She is a very straightforward person.

I don't take it personally. I was just like let me slip into something else then. It wasn't a big deal. I was at my apartment.

Did you guys spend the weekend together?


You'll never believe what Quinn did to me at work yesterday.

What happened?

He said that my clothes looked bad for office wear and to go home and change into something more appropriate.

What were you wearing that was so bad?

I had on my little black dress because I planned on going out after work.

Taylor, that's a cocktail dress. Quinn's right - it's not appropriate for work!


Context: Jan was feeling ill, so they took some medicine for a cold.

I just got back from the drug store. I had to get medicine for my cold.

Are you feeling unwell?

Yeah, I felt ill all day but it's just cold symptoms so hopefully it'll go away after the medicine.

A good rest too, don't forget that!

Yes I think tea and rest will make the medicine do its job even better.

Feel well soon!


Context: While it wasn't their intention to be mean, the friends did not include Kai in their weekend plans as Kai spoke too loud and too often and Kai gave people headaches.

I can't believe they didn't invite me this weekend.

I heard some of them say that you are a loud mouth.

I guess I can talk to much sometimes.

Maybe just tone it down a little.

I still think it is mean of them.

I know but what can you do?


I feel really bad that I was excluded from everything.

Maybe they think that you're too loud at times.

Isn't everybody else loud though?

At certain instances yes but you're loud all the time.

I guess I have to find some new friends.

Don't be that person.


Context: After studying for hours, Skylar finally got her history study guide down.

I studied for hours, but I think I finally am ready for my history test. I've got the study guide down.

That's good. I know you've been studying really hard.

I just need to get a really good grade on this test.

It sounds as though you've studied as much as you could.

That's true, I did. I don't think I could be any more prepared.

Then that's really all you can do. You can't study any more than you did.


It's been hours since I started studying for my history exam. Five cups of coffee later, I have finished my study guide.

You are so organized when you study.

I try. It happens with these sort of ideas.

History has never been my favourite subject. I just can't get into it.

If you study history, it makes sense why the world is the way it is today.

I am only interested in the present.


I can't wait to be done with this history test.

How long have you been studying for?

Six hours so far.

Wow, I bet you'll ace the test.

I better, I think I've memorized the study guide completely by now.

Well, good luck with the test.


Context: Jordan was going to be late, do although it was a beautiful day they continued to walk hastily.

I'm going to be so late for work.

Why did you walk instead of taking the train?

It's just such a nice day outside I figured I'd walk it. But I didn't think it would take me this long.

Yeah it really is a beautiful day. Hopefully your boss did the same thing.

I doubt it. She's all work and no play.

That's too bad. Well you'd better hurry up then. Good luck!


It was such a nice day out today!

Yeah it's been one of the nicest days all year

Yeah unfortunately I was late to work, but honestly it was worth it

I don't blame you at all! I would have done the same

Well that makes me feel better! It was just too good to pass up on

Well I think it's fine as long as you didn't get in trouble at work


I've got to get to this class on time today.

Hi Jordan. Where are you running too with the sun so bright and the birds singing.

I am headed to Mrs Knowles class. No time to stop and chat now.

Hey! Don't be rude. Is that the art class you've been trying to get into for ages.

Yes, it's the first day and I refuse to be late again.

Take it easy Jordan. It's nice out you should slow down.


Context: Kai believed that the ballots had been tampered with, so Kai petitioned the election for redress.

I hear millions of people voted illegally.

Who did you hear that from?

From the President of the United States. Those votes shouldn't count.

The President also doesn't want to count COVID cases. Do you see a pattern?

Yes. There is a lot of fake news going on.

There sure is.


I thought the ballots were messed with so I contacted the election to have them redressed.

What makes you think the ballots were tampered with?

I saw people coming in to the precinct that don't live in this town and coming out very quickly all day to vote.

So you think these people are coming in with fake ID's and voting to skew the polls?

I think so, and I am going to prove it.

Well good luck proving that.


I am fed up with the election process that left me out.

Well some times you can't win, no reason to be so fed up.

No, I think that the ballots were tampered with, and I think that I can prove it.

How are you going to prove that it was tampered with?

Well, I am going to petition the election for redress, and If I am right, it will vindicate me.

I will do whatever you want if you think there was tampering.


Context: Aubrey was trying to get people to like her. Aubrey often told false tales to make her look good.

I have been making up stories to others lately and I notice they seem to like me a lot more.

That is really sad though. Why can't you just be yourself?

Because people don't seem to like who I really am, but with these tall tales they love me.

Aren't you worried they will eventually find out the truth?

Not really. I am really good at lying to them.

I think that is a bad idea, and eventually it is going to catch up to you.


I'm just tired of lying.

Have you been lying?

Yeah, telling false tales to make people like me.

That's not good Aubrey.

Yeah.

You should try and stop.


Context: Carson was fed up with the slow response time and so he issued Kendall an edict.

I was served with an edict yesterday and I am still not sure how to proceed.

Who was it from?

It was from Carson because of my slow response time he said.

Well did you take a long time to respond to him?

I did, but I didn't think he would do something like this!

Well maybe next time you will be more responsive I guess.


Context: aubrey found out skylar is the one who broke into her house so she declared war against skylar.

Did I tell you that I found out who broke into my house?

No! Who was it?

It was Skylar and I am not going to stop until she pays big time for what she did.

Maybe you should call the police and let them deal with it.

No, I am going to deal with this myself because I want to see her pay.

This sound dangerous and I really think you are making a mistake.


Guess who broke into my house?

Who was it?

Skylar! I'm going to make her life a living hell. She's not getting away with this. This is war!

How did you find out?

She did it with someone else and they told someone, who told me.


Context: Kendall earned money to support their child, and soon they were able to buy them a present.

I'm so proud of myself for getting my kid the game that he wanted for my birthday.

I'm was surprised myself that you put in that much overtime.

Well, I really wanted to make him happy since he cant see his friends with everything going on.

That makes sense I guess. I wish I had a mom like you when I was younger.


I earned some extra money to help support my child.

Let's save money and earn.

That way we can earn more money for a gift.

He's never had one of those.

I'm thinking Disney trip.

That would be great.


I surprised my child today!

What with?

Well, I have been working over time to get some extra money.

That's very dedicated of you!

I used the extra money I earned to buy him his favourite game.

That's amazing, I hope he appreciated it!


I bought my son a new bike for his birthday this week.

That is awesome, what kind is it?

It is a kids BMX bike that he can ride at a bike or skate park.

That is so cool, I did not know he was into biking like that.

I saved up for a month to buy this bike because it is top of the line, at least for kids bikes.

You could even go riding with him with your bike that you have.


Context: Jordan heard his cat at the door and got the cat some food to eat that night.

Do you hear something?

It sounds like the cat is at the door.

I think I have to feed her.

She is probably starving unless she ate a mouse.

Yuck. I don't want to imagine that. Let me go get her some food.


I had trouble sleeping last night.

Why is that?

My cat was at my door the whole night because it was hungry. So I just got it some food.

Why don't you just leave your cat some food in a bowl?

Because it likes to have it warmed up.

You do know that cat owns you, right?


I don't know how she got outside last night.

Who got outside?

Bob, my cat, was at the door meowing and I let him in.

I thought you didn't let him out?

He must have snuck out of the window, I got him so food and water. He was starving.

We have got to keep a better eye on him.


Did you hear that scratching on the door?

I did! Was it a wild animal?

Believe it or not, it was just my cat.

He sounded like a cougar!

He was just hungry, so I got him a bite to eat to settle him down.


Context: Remy was a very picky eater. Remy surprised her parents by trying sashimi.

I don't usually eat sashimi. My parents know that. They were surprised when I actually ate it last night at dinner.

Did you like it?

It's not bad.  It's not my favourite but I can see myself eating it again.

I am glad you are branching out and trying new food.

My friend tries to get me to eat new and strange food all the time. She's so adventurous.

I am like that too. I love discovering new food that I like.


My parents were actually surprised that I tried the sashimi at dinner last night.

I'm surprised too. Did you like it?

You all think I am a picky eater. I just like what I like.

But did you like the sashimi?

Actually I did like it. I won't order it again but the bit I tasted was good.

I love it. Tell your parents to invite me to dinner. I'll eat it.


Context: Skylar was trying to help Bailey clean up and get rid of things, be she accidentally sold Bailey's dearly loved gift.

I feel so bad I sold Baileys gift.

Oh, she loved that.

I know, it's awful that I sold it.

Was she upset?

She was pretty upset, but I am going to find her another one.

I guess that might make her feel better.


Context: Quinn was crying because other students made fun of his hair color. Lee gently raised Quinn's head up high with smile.

I was so upset today.

What happened?

The whole class made fun of my hair colour.

That's really sad, were you alone?

Luckily Lee was with me and he reassured me.

That's so sweet of him.


The other students in my class are horrible to me!

In what way?

They made me cry today!

How did they make you cry?

They all made fun of my new hair colour, Lee had to come and comfort me

Well I like the new colour, so does Lee.


Lee warned me.

Lee warned you about what?

I dyed my hair pink.

That was not a wise choice.

The other students made fun of my hair colour but Lee gently raised my head up high with smile.

You should wear a hat.


I had to thank Lee for sticking up for me today.

There is nothing weird or wrong with your hair colour so don't be ashamed.

Thanks, you and Lee really are great friends.

I will dye my hair blue too if that is cool with you.

You don't need to do that man.

What are friends for if not for support.


Context: Skylar was eating lunch with her friends and told them she didn't like the food they made.

I made a bad choice with the sandwich.

What was wrong with it?

The ham is disgusting, I think it's that cheap pressed ham with soy protein in it, and the bread is stale.

That's too bad. Would you like half of my chips?

Thank you, that's very nice of you.

No problem. We shouldn't come back here. You should write a review on Yelp.


Context: Cameron was impressed by his students. He gave the class gift certificates to best buy and a thank you card for working so hard.

I wanted to express my appreciation for my student's hard work they have all really impressed me.

What did you do for them?

I got them a gift card, along with a thank you card.

That's really generous of you.

I figured they could all use a reward.

You are the best teacher ever!


I had my last class today. I'm going to miss this particular group of students.

It's always nice when you get through to a class. It's an amazing feeling.

Yes. I gave the students a gift certificate to Best Buy and a thank you card. They worked so hard this year.

I bet that made them happy. They'll be talking about you years from now.


I gave my students gift certificates to best buy as a thank you for their hard work.

Those are great rewards.

I am just so impressed by everything they've accomplished.

And that they will continue to accomplish.

All they need is support and encouragement.

Teachers like you who really care make a difference.


Context: Addison quickly called the police when she saw a dead body in the middle of the road.

When I was walking home from school yesterday I thought I saw a dead dog laying in the road in the distance but when I got closer, I discovered it was actually a dead person laying in the middle of the road.

That's terrible, I think I would have passed out from the shock of seeing something so horrible. What did you do?

Well the first thing I did was start to cry from fear and panic, then I pulled out my phone and called the police.

Did they think that you were involved? Usually the first person on the scene of the crime is the first person they suspect committed the crime.

No, it was pretty clear the body laying in the road was the victim of a hit and run so they asked me on the phone to wait for emergency services to arrive, asked me some questions when they got there, then let me go home.

Well that's good, that would be pretty awful if you were a suspect when all you did was stumble upon a horrific scene and report it.


I was really shaken up when I saw that guy dead in the middle of the street.

I would be too. What happened?

Just driving along. I saw him and stopped, then called the police.

Wow! What did the cops say?

They said it looked like someone hit him with a car then took off.

That's so sad! I feel bad for his family.


I just saw a dead body on the street.

What? Did you call the police ?

After screaming for a minute, yeah I called them.

I hope you are ok sweetie.

Yeah, I am more concerned for that poor person.


Context: Seeing she needed one for the winter, Austin built Tracy one.

I was happy I got the new shed!

It was really nice of Austin to do that.

Yes, its 12 feet high!

That is one huge shed.

Yes, I can put all of my tools in it.

Now you won't freeze when getting your tools.


Context: Tracy threw a fit on the couch while watching the history channel because they got a lot of details wrong.

Are you serious, they cant be spouting this as fact!

I don't think the history channel has had real history in a long time.

I mean this guy is saying Nazis have built a moon base and are still operating it.

I know, last night it was about lizard people or something.

They are even getting the borders of countries wrong, why are we even watching this.

It was just on I thought you put it on, I'll change it.


Context: Cameron layered Jesse's bread on the table and made it look nice for the upcoming date.

Presto!

This isn't going to work.

She'll love it, stop worrying so much!

I don't know about you, but a bunch of bread doesn't exactly scream 'romantic' to me.

Flowers and candles are so cliché, this is unique and bold, have I ever steered you wrong before?

Yes all the time, but you do know this stuff better than me so I guess if you say this will work then I'll trust you, just this once.

I don't need to go to the hospital.

I just fell off the ladder and hit the tile, it's not a big deal. Go and get a bandage.

You hit the tile pretty hard, and I am sure you have some kind of concussion.

I don't have any insurance.

It happened on the job, it will be covered.


Can you believe I fell and hit my head?

Where did you hit your head? Are you OK?

I hit it on the tile and I am pretty sure I have a concussion.

Why don't you go and see a doctor?

I might just do that.

Call me if you need help.


I think I got a concussion.

Oh no. You've been playing football?

No, I just fell down on some tile.

Oh. That sucks. Contact a doctor.

Nothing you are my friend.

I had a great time on vacation and have something for everybody.

That's fun. What did you bring me?

You know I thought of you everywhere I stopped for gifts.

I appreciate you. I can't wait until I can afford to go on vacation.

Awesome, what are you going to study? Do you know what you want to do in the future?


Context: Jesse liked Ash's chair a lot. Ash was thinking about home remodeling and decided to give Jesse the chair.

I sold it, except the chair that Jesse liked. I gave that to her.

That was nice of you. Send me a picture of your remodelled room.

I will, I have before and after pictures I need to get in sequence.


Context: being a powerful mental psychic, Riley read Casey's thoughts.

I think that Riley was reading my thoughts.

People can't read minds.

She knew exactly what I was thinking.

It isn't too hard to know what you are thinking.

Why do you say that?

You think out loud all the time.


Context: Quinn realized their dog ran away in the middle of the night and cried their eyes out.

So in the middle of the night I got up to get some water and noticed the door was open.

The door to the backyard? Or the front door.

Front door! That's scary enough, but the worst part is, my dog got out.

Oh no! did you find him?

Not yet, my parents are out looking now. I've been crying since then.

I'm sure they'll find him.


Context: Jesse was down on his luck and a bit depressed. It was Aubrey that gave Jesse hope for their future.

I'm down on my luck and depressed.

You need to have hope for the future.

Aubrey as been giving me hope.

She is a great friend.

Once I get through this I will feel much better.

You've got this.


I felt so depressed lately, on my last leg.

I hope you can feel better soon.

Aubrey talks to me often she gives me hope for my future.

I hope she can mend your wounds.

I believe so.

Just be careful, don't lean on her too much.


Sorry I've been so down lately. Everything's been getting to me.

That's understandable. Life can be overwhelming sometimes.

For sure. But I'm finally starting to feel a little better.

Yeah, I can tell. What managed to turn you around?

I had a long conversation with Aubrey and she put everything in perspective for me.

I'm glad to hear that. Aubrey has a good head on her shoulders.


Context: Tracy thought they left the oven on. Tracy quickly rushed home.

I'm sorry I'm late. I had to go back home because I thought I left the oven on.

I do that sometimes too. It's really nerve-wracking.

Yes but it's weird because I wasn't even using it this morning.

I think it was because you baked all yesterday.

Right, I was tired this morning when I left so I was just having anxiety about it.

Well I'm glad you checked anyway. Better safe than sorry.


Jenny and I went to the mall yesterday.

Did you find anything you liked?

I didn't get a chance to look.

Why not?

I realized that I left the oven on and had to rush back home.

Wow! I'm glad you didn't burn your house down!


I think I need to run back home. I'm worried I left my oven on!

Oh no, seriously? Too bad there's no way to check remotely!

I know, that would be so helpful.

Well don't worry, I'll be here waiting for you.

Ok, I'm going to try to be fast. I'm worried a fire could start.

Yes, that would be terrible!


Context: Ash awoke the next morning, after taking sleeping pills the night before.

I feel groggy this morning after taking some sleeping pills last night.

Why did you need sleeping pills?

I haven't been able to sleep well so I decided to try them.

Did they help at all?

They were very good for sleeping but I think I'll need some coffee today to get going.

I am glad they worked even if they aren't easy to shake off.


I feel so well rested today.

You finally got a good night's sleep?

Yes, but only because I took some sleeping pills the night before.

You've never tried them before?

No, but I should take them from now on considering waking up this morning felt so good.

You do look like you have more energy.


I am still so exhausted.

Didn't you sleep well?

Not really, and I took sleeping pills and everything!

That's too bad. I have never tried them.

I guess they don't work all that well.


Boy, did I sleep well last night. What a snooze!

How did you manage that? You've been sleeping so badly lately.

I gave in and took sleeping pills. I couldn't face another sleepless night.

I don't blame you. It can start to drive you nuts when you can't sleep.

Let's hope I can sleep tonight without them.

Yeah, that's the hard part, isn't it?


Context: Sasha pulled the blinds together. They were ready for bed already.

I'm so sleepy right now.

But the sun isn't even down yet.

I have to pull the blinds together to block out the light.

You're really ready for bed?

Yeah, I want to go to sleep.

Okay, have a good night.


I am closing the blinds, we are both tired. Let's go to bed.

Sounds good, we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow.

What time are we supposed to get up?

We should be on the road by 7 a.m.

Are we going to stop for coffee along the way?

Yes we will need to, I need caffeine to help me on the road.


Context: Jan filled the bucket up completely with concrete and mixed it with water. Jan was trying to build a new patio in her backyard.

I'm so tired today. I did so much last week.

Let me guess, I saw something coming up in your backyard. What is it?

Well I have been constructing a patio slowly filling up buckets with concrete to support the beams for the patio structure.

Oh! I get it now, how far are you with it?

I am halfway done.

Keep going mate.


Could you move this bucket for me, it's awfully heavy being so full.

Absolutely, what are you working on?

I'm building a new patio around back, it'll give me a place to sit in the shade in the evenings.

That's a lot of work, but sounds great, I hope you'll invite me over when you're done.

I sure will, we'll split a bottle of wine.

I always love your wine selection.


Context: Aubrey went to a baseball game and got to meet some players. Aubrey was able to get autographs of favorite players.

I'm so glad I was able to get someone to sign my new baseball!

Those players were really friendly and they actually threw the ball with us too.

I couldn't believe they actually spent time with most of the kids.

Lets come back again next time they come to town.

I cant wait to do this again.


The Tigers are my favourite baseball team. I'm so glad we made it to a game this year!

Yeah, this is awesome!

Looks like some of the players are hanging out near the bleachers. I'm going to run down and see if I can get any autographs!

Ok, I'm going to stay here and wait on our hot dogs.

Wow! I got Miguel Cabrera's autograph! Daniel Norris' too! They are my favourite players!

Oh man, now I wish I had come with you!
