Context: Bailey was out of range for reception and kept trying the phone. Finally, Bailey got through to someone on his phone.

I had the worst day. My car broke down in the foothills and my phone wouldn't work there. I had to walk for a mile to get service.

Why didn't you call me? I would have been there in a few minutes.

I didn't want to bother you at work. I wasn't going to have you take off to come get me.

So what did you do to get home?

I called for roadside assistance. I had to wait a couple of hours but they came and towed my car and me, home.

That's probably a good thing. I couldn't have towed your car so you got it all done.


The signal is bad here.

Yeah, you've been out of range all day.

I know I can't get any service here and had to keep trying until I finally get through someone.

Nice. I am glad you made it in the end.

Yeah, in the end I managed.


I ended up getting through to customer service finally when I walked outside the building.

Why do you think your phone did not have good reception?

It is a really old phone.

Oh I see, did the connection hold?

Yeah but I had to stay outside for it to work.

You should just get a new phone.


My phone wasn't working.

The signal sucks here.

Yea we are out in the country.

Try walking toward a building.

Now it's working, although I had to keep trying to finally get through someone.

Great.


Context: In their article, Sydney gave the reader a thorough analysis of Remy put Jan away.

Did you write the article

Sydney wrote it. It offers a thorough analysis of the case

I will find time to review the article later then, it sounds interesting.


Context: Aubrey stayed up all night studying. The next day in class she fell asleep.

Oh my goodness I had such a late night last night.

What were you doing up at night?

I was studying for that sociology exam all night.

That stinks, you really should have studied earlier.

I know, and to make it all worse I had fallen asleep in the class while taking the test.

Oh no! Girl, you really need to get your sleep schedule back on track.


I probably should not have stayed up all night last night studying, I'm so tired now, I even fell asleep in class.

you could have taken a small nap in the ride over

I don't think I could have because I took three caffeine pills to stay awake

wow, that's actually impressive. did you think you did well on the test?

I hope so


Context: People asked Carson where the event was held. Carson sent the people to the assembly.

The event is down the hall in the gymnasium 3 doors to your left!

Thanks Carson.  Are you going to the event?

Yes.  And as a matter of fact I'm speaking on behalf of a charity.

That's a good doing.  We'll bring some extra money to donate.

That would be great!  Thank you all so much!

You're welcome!


These people want to know where the event's happening, but they're going in the wrong direction.

Did they change the venue?

They moved the event to the assembly. I just have to let everyone know and make sure they all get there on time.

It's always easy to get turned around at these big events. I got lost just in the parking lot!


Context: Cameron quietly waited for their turn in the lobby of the busy, bustling restaurant.

We have been here an hour waiting to be seated.

Well the wait is worth it.  Wait until you try their wings.

I hear that they are good.  I am interested in tasting them.

We shouldn't have to wait too much longer.

I hope not but I been keeping myself busy "people watching".

Yeah that is fun.  People are interesting.


I hope this week is worth it.

Trust me, it’s gonna be more than worth it once you sit down and start eating.

It must be why we have been waiting in the lobby for so long, this restaurant is so busy.

Oh, I can’t forget about the tasty drinks also.

Do you think we can order a drink or two from the bar while we wait?

I’m gonna call over a waitress and find out.


I am so hungry.

I know. We've been waiting for a table for over an hour now.

Yeah, this restaurant is really popular.

You sure you don't want to just eat somewhere else?

I mean, we've waiting this long already in this tiny lobby. Any time now.

I hope so, or I'm walking to McDonalds.


Context: Skylar put the baby to bed and went back down to have coffee with the others.

I already put my baby to bed.

Nice, Do you want to drink some coffee?

Yes, that's my plan, to drink a coffee with the others.

Nice to hear that Skylar.

We all love coffee so we need to do it.

Agree.


I'm going to put the baby to bed.

Sounds good and come get coffee with us.

Okay, I will.

I like black coffee!

Get me an espresso.

Yes, than espresso for us.


I missed out on what the group was joking about last night at the dinner party.

Weren't you there the whole time?

No, I left the dinner table for twenty minutes to put the baby to bed, and didn't come back down until everyone was having coffee and dessert.

The joke wasn't that funny. It was about Luther's new job.

What was funny about his job?

It's ironic that he's teaching English, when he absolutely hates reading and writing!


I just put the baby to bed. Now we can talk freely without distraction.

Okay , but I didn't ask you to leave the baby alone.

No, I wanted the baby in bed as I'm tired from a long day and I need some adult conversation. And I also want to go down to have coffee with the others.

I guess speaking baby talk all day can get tirying eventually.


Context: Aubrey has been staying out late and working too much lately and is not feeling well.

I don't think I should be working so hard to pay my bills

maybe you could get a better job that pays more

that would be great and I wouldn't have to work so many hours to make ends meet. I am not feeling well after working so much.

come with me tomorrow and we can go job searching and talk to some people

that sounds like a great idea


I feel sick and worn down.

You have been staying out late a lot lately.

I know. I need down time after working so much lately. Going out is my only outlet.

Try staying home and watching some Netflix. You need to relax.

I'm really getting burned out by this job.

Maybe you take some vacation time. Rest up. Go to the beach.


I just haven't been feeling well lately.

Why do you think that is?

I've been staying out late and working too much.

You should try to stay in more and see if your boss will let you take some days off.

I think I'll just stop staying out so late. I need the hours from my job.

Since you're tired let me order some delivery for both of us.


I'm not feeling well.

I think it's because you staying out late and working too much.

I think so too. But I need to work hard.

You should take a day or two to rest.

I can't but I will rest the whole day tomorrow to recover.

I'll wake you up around 8 pm. Sleep tight.


Context: Lee and Alex went through a lot that day. Lee laid his head on Alex's shoulder.

Alex and I went through a lot today.

True. I saw you laying your head on Alex's shoulder.

Yeah, we were feeling closer after such a day.

I know. You worked hard.

Okay, I am going to rest.

Okay.


I went through a lot with Alex a few days ago.

Really?

Yes, I enjoyed my time with her a lot, she's awesome.

Why you guys went there, what were you guys doing?

We were just chilling and talking, I had my head in Alex's shoulder and I loved it.

You like that girl, I can see that.


Context: Quinn starred at Addison for a moment when they were looking at them in the store.

For the first time today, I noticed that Addison has brown eyes.

You never noticed that before? How long have you known her?

About 10 years. I stared at her today at the store and noticed it. Really pretty eyes.

She's a really pretty gal.


I've never really noticed that birthmark on Addison's chin until now.

But we are looking at sneakers. Why are you staring at Addison's face?

I wasn't staring, I just glanced.

Of all the times you "glanced" before, you're just now noticing it?

I guess so, it's kind of cute to me.

Well maybe, but let's go to the register and buy these sneakers.


I caught a look at Addison while we were shopping today.

You did? What did she do?

She looked right back at me. Our eyes locked on one another.

I bet you felt a flutter over that one, huh?

You're right I did. She is so cute it's hard not to look!

Be still your beating heart, my friend!


Context: Taylor gave their word to their mother that they would never go out after curfew again.

I'm not coming.

Let's move now.

I gave my mom a word that I will never go out after curfew.

Shrugged that off, we are men.

I don't care, I've promised her.

Okay then, am off.


Context: By losing the pawn, Remy gave a big lead to Kendall in the match.

What Remy did was a big move.

Letting that pawn go really changed the match in a big way.

I agree.

It was a good game.


I really can't believe that Remy made such an amateur move as sacrificing that pawn in the match earlier today.

I saw that, I was pretty astounded.

He basically gave me the match when he did that.

It was a nice point in the win column.

I am not sure that when we play again he will be so easily beat though.

Just keep your head in the match and you will be fine.


I wonder why Remy thought it was a good idea to make that move?

Yes. I thought she had a plan.

But that way I could take her pawn.

Yeah, she probably didn't see that coming.

Next turn her king will be in check.

You're too good at chess Kendall.


Bad move by Remy, I have him now.

Yeah, maybe it wasn't smart of him.

Bishop to his queen

How could Remy make such a mistake?

I know, I was also surprised.

Or maybe you're just too good.


Context: Even though they were terrified to dying, Cameron fought their battles bravely and survived.

I am extremely nervous about the outcome of this battle. I don't want to die.

We can do it, we just have to believe in ourselves.

Okay, let's try to strategize better.

Got it, now lets head up to the front.

It looks like everyone else on the other side has been taken down.

So I guess that means that we are the lone survivors.


I think about the war a lot.

Were you scared during the war?

I was, I was so scared of dying.

But you didn't die.

I still had to be brave during battle, and I survived.

I'm glad you didn't die.


I gave it my all, I was so scared.

You did really well today Cameron, you survived.

I know, and we didn't lose a lot of men. But we will remember those who have passed.

They gave their lives for our freedom.


Context: Skylar went fishing with Addison's dad. They had a good time and caught a lot of fish.

I went over to spend a few days with Addison.  We went fishing with Addison's dad and caught a lot of fish.

Did you enjoy yourself?

I did but forgot to apply sunscreen.  I got a really bad sunburn.

Ouch.  Those are painful.

My whole back is burnt.  I have to sleep on my stomach.

That takes a while to heal too.


I went fishing yesterday. It was a lot of fun.

Where did you go fishing at?

I went with Addison's dad and we took his boat to the lake.

Did you catch any fish?

Yes, we got really lucky. We caught a lot of fish.


Context: Lee caught the ball with his hands when he turned and saw it heading for him.

Wow, my reflexes are getting pretty good.

What do you mean? What happened?

I caught a ball with my hands when I turned and saw it heading towards me at the baseball stadium!

Were you watching a game?

I was, and I was rooting for my favorite team.

Wow, that is pretty awesome. Maybe you should take up playing baseball.


I'm proud of myself today. I made an amazing play during football game Saturday.

I want to hear about it.

I was running downfield, turned to look over my shoulder and saw the ball headed straight for me. I managed to catch it and run it back for a touchdown.

Wow! I bet the coach was really happy about that touchdown.

Definitely! He even told me I was the MVP of the whole game!

Congrats! I bet everyone will be talking about it at school on Monday.


Context: After searching all over the place, Skylar finally found their purpose in the world when they discovered boating.

I took up boating late in life.

Why did you wait so late to start?

I had never been before. And I was looking for something. Then a friend took me out, and I fell in love with it.

Did you buy your own boat?

Yes, but I had to save up for years to buy the one I wanted.

And now you get to go out on the sea whenever you want.


I have been searching everywhere for years and finally I think I am going to get a hold of what I truly deserve

what is that ?

it is boating my friend

Oh wow! What made you chase that purpose?

I just enjoy the freedom of what it has to offer along with what I need to do in life in terms of learning and leadership

I know that overall there is a great sense of purpose mixed with passion in you and I enjoy seeing you very happy


I should discovered boating before, this is just awesome!

Do you really like boating?

I found out that my purpose in the world when I started boating, I love it.

Oh wow, I have never tried, but It must be cool.

It is awesome, really helped me to find my way in life.

You seem pretty excited about it, keep enjoying it!


Ever since I graduated high school I felt like I was searching for some kind of purpose, and I finally found it.

Really?  What is it that you believe is your purpose in the world?

I went out on a boat, and I fell in love with it.  I think I want to do that for the rest of my life.

That's great.  Can you make any kind of a living out of that?

I believe I can.  I want to start a business giving boat tours of the local islands and maybe even do things like charter fishing and other things like that.

I think that would be something great for you, and I'm happy that you are so into it.


Context: Remy thought Addison was fun to hang out with, so Remy showed Addison around.

How's it going? I just got back from the mall with Addison.

I'm good. How did that end up happening?

We were talking in class, and I didn't realize how fun she was, so I asked her to come hang out.

She's new to town right?

Yeah, I showed her some of the local hangouts.

That was nice of you. I'll come with you both next time.


I think Addison is fun to hang out with.

I think so too, Addison is fun.

I will show you around.

Really. That would be fun.

Let's go first to the park.

Okay. Can we stop by a shop first?


I want to show Addison the most fun side of Vegas

Yeah, Addison is so fun to hang out with, we could do this all week

maybe we can hit the jackpots later, shall we ask him?

that sounds like a great idea to me


Context: Aubrey showed up and the asked the employees to come  forth if they are responsible for the broken pots.

I had a terrible day at work today.

What did they do to you this time?

Someone broke all the pots in the break room and no one would admit they did it.

Broke the pots? That’s odd.

Well they don’t like me so I can’t say I’m surprised.

I guess you should find some new employees.


Nobody has admitted to have broken the pots at work yet.

That sucks. Keep a closer eye on your employees.

Yeah, I need to pay some spies.

They might not like that though.


Context: Cameron had not slept in days, while in vacation in Las Vegas. Cameron finally took their rest.

I haven't slept in days though.

How was Vegas?

It was really good.

Did you party a lot?

Yea I got drunk every night, that's why I didn't sleep, too much partying.

it's a great gambling town too.


Wow it has been a long few days. This vacation in Vegas was crazy.

Yeah I bet.  I don't think you've gotten any sleep either

You are certainly not wrong.  It is great to get rest and such at this moment and finally be free

yeah, I am glad you finally got some sleep

Me too.  thank you for being supportive to me

of course


Context: Jordan's dog was being agressive towards the children. Jordan kept his dog at a distance.

Don't worry about my dog because he only barks, he's not going to do anything to the children.

He looks really scary though and has big teeth

he's just a big coward and barks because he's scared of everyone, but I will keep him at a distance anyway, don't worry.

I guess he is kind of cute when you look at him differently


Megasaurus, my dog, has been acting really aggressively towards kids lately.  I don't know what's wrong with him.

That's a dangerous situation.  Megasaurus is a big, strong dog and he could hurt a child.

I know.  I've been keeping him tied alone out back lately, but I'm afraid that if he breaks his chain he might kill someone.

So what do you think you should do about it.

I guess I'm gonna go ask to see if I can find some expert in dogs' behavior.

OK.  I hope you'll find someone.


I had to lock my dog up today, in not sure what has gotten into him. He just went crazy and looked aggressive around the kids.

Man that's crazy, dogs can be like that though.

Tell me about that! One second  angel and next a demon dog. I had to keep him at a distance.

Yeah, just make sure that the kids are protected. You did the right thing.

Good to know you agree with me!


Context: sasha asked taylor not to smoke so taylor rolled a cigarette in front of sasha's eyes.

I hate Sasha for giving me orders

What did she do this time?

She told me not to smoke as if I were a kid

That's unreasonable. So what was your response?

I intentionally rolled a cigarette in front of her to show her that I cannot be controlled

Nice act


Context: Someone was nervous about jumping off a diving board. Tracy persuaded the person to go off.

She was so frightened and scared on the diving board.

Do you think she had a fear of heights?

That she was stronger and braver than she realized.

You are outstanding!


Context: Alex was asked his side of the story, so he gave the officer his statement.

Sorry I'm late, I witnessed a minor accident and stopped to see if everyone was ok

Oh my, was everyone okay? did the police come quickly?

Yes everyone was ok, I just gave my statement when I was asked what I witnessed and then I was able to leave

I'm so glad no one was hurt and you weren't stuck there

Me too, I'm starving I hope you kept the food warm!

Sure did, these are still going to be the best tacos you have ever had!


So my side of the story is that she hit me with a frying pan

So the police believed you when you lied to them?

that is the statement that I gave them, so I hope so

hopefully you don't get into anymore trouble over this and get to go home

I hope so too


So I told the officer that the dude punched me. That's the side of the story I gave.

But he has the broken nose?

Yeah. He punched my fist with his nose.

Your poor fist.

I hope the jury sees it that way.

I would suggest a backup plan.


Context: kendall went along with jan's friends but didn't invite jan along because they didn't like jan.

Kendall went out with my friends.  They didn't invite me to go camping with them because not all of them like me.

That happens in large groups.

It's hard to expect everyone to like each other.

That's why I don't hang out with large groups of friends.

There tends to be more conflict.  It's harder for everyone to agreed on things like what to do and eat.  Just basic things.

Things can get complicated quickly.


Context: Jordan headed toward the door. She wasn't happy about the way the meeting had gone.

I had a rough day at work today.

If you don't mind I'd love to hear about it.

My sales team had an important meeting with a client but we were not awarded the contract. As the Director of Sales I'm frustrated.

It's disappointing but that happens sometimes. You'll win some and lose some.

We had spent 6 months on a proposal and have nothing to show for it. And we just lost one of the best leads we had in a while.

Well there's nothing you can do about this. Just move forward and try to win the next one.


I am so sick and tired of my boss and the way our company is run.

What happened this time? Seems you are always angry about work.

We had a meeting and it went terrible and really made me upset. I stormed out of it actually.

I can understand getting really upset, but maybe you should talk to your boss about your concerns.

I have tried and nothing seems to help.

I'm sorry your job isn't working out the way you want.


Context: Robin kept their stuff together so they would be ready to leave in time for their trip.

O.K., I've got my stuff ready.

Me too.

Let's put our stuff together to make sure everything gets loaded and then I'm ready to leave for the trip!

It's going to be a fun camping trip.

I've really been looking forward to it.

And it looks like the weather is going to be perfect.


I kept our stuff together so we would be on time for our trip.

You didn't separate it from the last trip?

Nope. Everything was clean so I just kept it all together.

Well, that was smart since you'll need all the same things.

Plus I had to work and didn't want to be racing around putting our stuff together.

You are pretty much going back to the same place, right?


Context: Aubrey got Bailey's tree in the ground as they had agreed upon as part of the landscaping contract.

I got the tree in the ground for Bailey

A tree? Why?

we had an agreement about it as part of the landscaping contract.

Oh, now I got it.

Yeah, so she can be happy with her tree there now.

Nice to hear.


I've planted a tree in the ground  for Bailey.

Wow, it looks nice.

I will have to send Bailey the bill later.

Okay, nice you've got some new landscaping work to do.


Context: Lee gave their speech a rewrite and it was a success and he won the election.

It was a great idea to rewrite my speech.  I won the election with it.

Who idea was the rewrite?

Mine.  I didn't think the previous version expressed what I was trying to say.

You have a future in politics, I always told you.

Yeah, like even back in junior high when I ran to be a representative.

I saw your potential and believed in you.


I had to give a speech in order to get elected.

How did that go?

I was concerned enough to rewrite my speech before I delivered it.

That was a wise decision.

It was because the speech was deemed a success and I won the election.

Congratulations on your success.


Context: Lee grabbed a ladder. He knew he had a lot of work to do today at home.

This ladder is really great and overall it is a good way to get some work done

Yeah this is an awesome ladder

right.  I have a lot of work to do today and I hope this is sufficient

I think you'll be able to complete it all.  I totally believe in you

Thank you

no problem


Today was a busy day for me.

What did you have to do?

I had to fix the roof, so I needed to get a ladder.

Did you finish the job?

I sure did. I did not want to have to do it again tomorrow.

It is always good to finish what you start.


Context: Jordan was going to miss Jan so he was planning to go to the store to get her a present.

Friday is Jan's last day here, I'm so bummed.

Oh, that's right, she's leaving for college next week!

Yeah, I'm going to buy her something nice as a going-away present.

That's thoughtful of you! What are you going to get?

I haven't decided yet, maybe a nice bracelet. She loves jewelry.

That's a great idea! I'm sure she'll love it!


Guess what I'm going to do?

Buy a Ferrari?

Funny, no I'm planning to buy Jan present from the store because I'm going to miss her.

That's sweet Jordan.


I need to hurry to catch the bus to see Jan.

Don't you think you'll be 15 minutes late?

I know. But I wanted to get her something from the store to let her know I'll miss her.

Why don't you just  tell her the truth, and let her know you got held up at the check out line.

Brilliant! I will go get the bus now.

Say hello to her for me.


Context: Austin told lies to her, so she never found out about the affair.

I almost got caught but I managed to lie.

What happened?

I am not sure, but I told her a bunch of lies so she wouldn't know the truth about the affair.

She could still find out and then she will be more upset you lied.

I guess I will deal with it if that day ever comes.

I don't think you are handling this right man, but to each their own.


She eventually did not find out about the affair.

How did you go about it.

I fed her lies.

You're such a bad person

I know. There is nothing else I could do.

Just get on with what you want to do


I was in a tough spot.

That seems to be normal for you.

My girlfriend confronted me with the evidence.

You were between a rock and a hard place.

I told her lies so she never found out about the affair.

That is true, unless I say something to her.


Context: Addison went to the track and ran 5 miles before going back to the car and driving home.

Today was a good day at the track for me!

Oh really? How so?

I ran 5 miles on the track today! I'm so proud of myself!

5 miles?! That's awesome! I wish I could run 5 miles!

It's not hard once you build up your strength and stamina. You should come train with me!

I don't know if I could keep up with you, but I'll definitely try! Count me in next time you go!


I had a great run today. I am stretching my distance.

How far did you run today?

I did 5 miles today. I usually only do 3 or 4.

How long did it take you to run 5 miles?

It took me almost an hour. I felt so good. I should have gone for 6.

Do you think you would have made 6 miles?


Context: Austin took them out for dinner after working hard and got promoted in the new job.

I took my friends out for dinner the other day.

Were you celebrating something?

yeah, I've got a promotion at work because I worked hard.

Congratulations! You deserved it.

Thank you!

So are we going for drinks soon?


Context: Sydney went to our family farm, taking the trash with her, and set it on fire on the ground.

Have you been waiting long? Forgot you were coming today

Not really. Where were you though?

I went to the family farm. I had to burn some trash so I did it there.

Isn't it dangerous to set fire in the farm?

No. I made sure the spot I used had just dirt. Nothing would burn around it.

Cool! Can I come with you next time? I'd love to visit your farm again.


Hey can you grab that bag?

Sure, taking this trash to the usual spot at your family farm to burn it?

Yep, just have to get a little ways out from the house

Do you have water?

Yeah, the hose is hooked up.  I can get it if we need it, but this should just burn out in the next hour or so.

Okay, cool.  Need anything else before we head down?


Did you see the smoke from the fire earlier?

I did. It looked like a raging bonfire! What happened?

I set the fire on purpose. It's how we burn the trash at my family farm.

That's really interesting. The only way I've ever disposed of trash is by throwing it in a plastic bun.


Context: Quinn needed to get some help from Alex to cook the chicken dinner they were making.

I asked Alex if he could you help me with dinner.

I thought it was your turn to cook, Quinn.

Well no, Alex and I decided we were both going to prepare dinner.

I see. It sounds like you get along well.

We do, do you want to come and see us soon?

I'd love to.


That chicken dinner I made last night was tough.

But it was delicious.

I actually had a secret ingredient.

What was that.

Alex's help, I needed it desperately, especially to cook the chicken. I don't know how to cook chicken.

That's a good ingredient.

I'm organizing my schedule this week.

How?

Well I try to create to-do list when working to stay organized.

I love doing that, I'll send you a template that works for me.

That tornado was the scariest thing that has ever happened to us!

Are you guys okay?

Yes, but it took everything Carson had to keep my head down when debris was flying towards us!

I would have been freaking out, that is so scary

Thank God we made it out alive!

Yes, thank God indeed!


I can't believe what just happened. I almost died in that storm!

I heard about the tornado warning. What happened?

We were running to the storm shelter in the back yard and a satellite tornado came down right over our house, tearing a chunk out of it.

Your house is gone? That's awful. I'm glad you are okay. How about Carson?

He saved my life, actually. The house debris was flying right toward me, but he helped me duck to avoid it. We ran to the shelter and made it just in time. It was the scariest moment of my life!

I would've passed out from fear. You're really brave, Skylar!

Hey, you know the latest? I became the world's oldest person, they called me earlier to let me know.

Oh wow, really?

I was surprised too.

Hw did you do that?

Simply by adhering to a strict diet of healthy foods and exercise routine.

Nice!


I only got to be the oldest person alive by eating healthy and exercising religiously.

You mean you were able to stick to that all these years?

Yes, I was brought up that way and I'm a firm believer in healthy living.

You are a remarkable person. I want to learn from you .

Well I have a lot of free time to talk.


Context: Jesse was visiting a friend's house. Jesse broke the back of their remote.

I was upset about my school grades.  I had failed my chemistry test because I forget the formula.  I drove down the wrong way on a one way street, and nearly killed myself.

you should not be driving if you are distracted, are you alright.

I quickly realized my mistake and backed up out of it.

You are lucky you corrected your error before it's too late.

I could have died and killed other people.

That's very serious.


Oh no, that's a one way street.

Try to back down before another car comes into the lane.

I will, that was a close one.

You seem to be out of your mind today, are you ok?

I am, I just had a tough day at school, my grades are down.

I guess that can upset anyone, but please drive carefully.

Thank you for the offer, I will surely accepted it.

So what did you guys do instead of riding bikes?

He went back to his Woodworking and then I read a book.

Life is so hard.

That's great!

I was so scared he wouldn't like me but he ate a treat out of my hand

Context: Sydney told Jesse they could do the yard work and they would be paid for it.

Sydney said I could do some yard work and get paid for it.

You can make some extra money.

I need to save up for another car.  My car broke and it's not worth it to get it fixed.

This is the perfect opportunity then.

It's low commitment so I can still keep my other job at the mall.

You are working so much.


So they want us to cut the grass and trim the bushes?

Yes, the front and back.

That's a lot of work. It's going to take us at least two days.

Yes, but they pay really well for a good job.

That sounds great. I could use the money.

I know a couple of other families that need yard work done, too.

That's great.  What do we have to do?

Rake the leaves and bag them up.

Are there two rakes?

Yes, we're all set.

You need to take time for yourself.


I am so glad that I got to spend some time with Ash this week.

I know you two used to see each other a lot.

We always hung out together. Now that she has joint the varsity team she has lots of practice to do.

Pretty soon you'll be able to go watch her games.

That's true, I just miss our old trips to the park to hang out by the water and talk.

The season is only a couple of months and then she'll have more time again.


Hi Ash! Long time no see.

Hi Taylor! You've got that right.

Do you have time for catching up?

Yes, I'll make time to catch up with you right now.

This will be great. I have a lot to tell you!

Just take your time; I've got plenty of it.


Context: Bailey also grabbed food from the cafeteria, but ate in the bathroom.

Can you hand me an apple and a banana please.

Why are you gathering so much food?

Because I am going to eat somewhere else

We are already here in the cafeteria. Why are you hiding in the bathroom? Just pick a table.

Because everyone talks about how I eat.

Don't worry about them. They are just a bunch of bullies. Come and sit with me.


I ate alone in a bathroom stall today and it was kind of weird.

Why do you eat in a bathroom?

I just wanted to get away from all the noise of the cafeteria, because of my anxiety.

I feel you, next time tell me and I will join you.

Oh for sure, but it was kind of awkward when someone came in to use the toilet right next to me.

That does sound odd.


You would not believe how busy the cafe was today. There were no where to sit.

Where did you end up eating?

I ate in the bathroom.

Oh my gosh, that is crazy.

Yea it had a "chair" at least

I bet it was also very private at least.

I think I have just about all my stuff in the apartment.

What other things do you have to bring?

I think just what's in this box, including my bow.

I had no idea you even had that thing.

I was in a school archery sport team, years back, it was fun.

So it is for happy memory I guess.


Hey! I'm kind of busy right now, carrying the bow forward into the apartment.

Why are you carrying the bow?

I have to move all my stuff quickly.

Do you need any help with that?

Yes. Could you come over to my new apartment. Here's my new address.

I'll be over in 15 minutes.


I carried the bow into the apartment.  I needed to move all of my stuff quickly.

You mean the bow for your bow and arrow.

Yeah, that bow.  You know I am into archery.

I have seen you.  You have amazing aim.

I've been practicing since I was a kid.

It shows.


So I was moving my stuff really quick, and ran thru the doorway with my bow.

Let me guess. The bow snapped.

No, it was a strong bow, lucky me.

I know you are in a hurry, but be careful.

There's just so many boxes in all directions.

When you're heading in all directions, you're heading in no direction at all.


Context: Lee flew back home, but needed to make sure their parents would be around to visit.

I think that it is  on your side.  Can you feel anything?

Yeah it sounds like it is over here.


We were going down the highway and had a flat

No, I felt a bumping and started slowing down

Did you change the tyre yourself?

Yep!  I was proud of myself.

Learning these things are a time and money saver.


I really should have bought new tyres

I was driving around and got a flat tyre!

sorry to hear that. Was this on small roads?

no, it happened on the highway so I had to pull over

I'm glad you are okay, though

I had such a long walk this afternoon.

That sounds like fun. Where did you go?

I just wanted to go around the neighborhood for a little while. But ended up staying for long time because the wagon wheel broke.

What did you do? Did you have to carry the kids home?

No I got lucky and ran into Kendall. She fixed it for me.

That is really luck. She is very nice.


I am so grateful we finally made it back to the ranch before nightfall.

I was worried about you when you did not arrive earlier today.

We were moving along just fine but the driver took the wagon over a big rock and one of the wheels broke right off.

How terrible, you all could have been tossed from the wagon.

Fortunately no one was injured, and our escort Kendall is a clever man and was able to repair the wheel and get it back on so we could continue on our way.

I will have to invite him over for lemonade and pie to thank him for his quick thinking.


My wagon wheel broke.

Why did it break?

I hit  some rocks.

This route is really tough.

I going to need a spare to fix this.

I'll can help with this.


Thanks Kendall you're so handy

Don't mention it, it was an easy fix

It would of been a pain if we had to carry all that by hand

yeah the wagon came in handy

glad I bought it, probably should of bought the one that was a bit pricier

maybe, those rocks were really rough

Thanks for letting me come over. I'm just so sick of my parents fighting

Not a problem! My parents do it sometimes, too, and I just lock the door and put my headphone on

How about super smash bros?

Sure that sounds fun! I call Kirby!

Fine, I am Link!

I will take red, it is my favorite color

that's a good choice it is mine too

I'm hoping to perform it again sometime soon.

Let me know and I'll be there.


Context: Austin called Sydney last night to apology for his mistakes, but Sydney didn't answer.

I tried to call Sydney to say sorry but she did not answer.

She will come around, I bet she wants to stay friends, too.

I did get her in trouble though.

You didn't mean to leave the list of students on the cheat list out on your desk.

I know but it was still stupid and I deserve her to be mad at me.

Just keep trying to talk to her/ I am sure she will forgive you.


I'm feeling really frustrated and angry with Sydney.

I'm sorry to hear you had such a blowout argument, but it was your fault.

I know. I tried to call Sydney last night to apologize for my mistakes.

How did she respond to the apology?

She ignored my call and didn't answer, which is why I'm so frustrated.

Just give her a little space.

Context: Alex needed to pick up milk and bread on the way home, so Alex drove to the store from work one night.

I was at work and I remembered that I was out of stuff like bread and milk when I was on the way home.

Did you run to the store when you got home and pick up some groceries?

Nah, I just stopped on the way home from work that night.

That's probably the easiest way to do it, even  if you're tired.

Yeah.  I was exhausted.  When I got home, I realized I had forgotten eggs and cheese.

You're such an airhead .


Hey I need to get some milk and bread on the way home from work tonight, do you need anything.

Yeah, but what's open after you get done with work at midnight?

There is twenty four hour grocery store that's a five minute drive from work.

Cool, if I give you some money and a list can you grab me a few things.

Sure, I know you have been busy with a lot of extra work these days.

Great, and I'll give you some extra cash for the bread and milk since you are doing the driving and shopping.


Context: Kendall surprised Ash's wife with a birthday card and a creative song just as Ash paid him to do.

Do you like the song that I played for your wife?

It was awesome, and better than I could have imagined.

Well thank you, being your friend I was honored to do it.

What do I owe you as payment?

I don't want money but you could take me out to dinner at that new steakhouse downtown.

That sounds like a deal my friend.


I really had to save the day for Ash. Did you hear it?

No, didn't his wife have a birthday over the weekend?

Yes, Ash invited over all their friends and family but was so busy he forgot to get her a gift.

Oh, that sounds like something Ash would do.

He ended up paying me to make a birthday card and write a song for her that he could present as his own.

Yep, that is definitely classic Ash!


Context: Wanting to get outside the house for errands, Aubrey left the dog alone.

Hey, how have you been?

I'm doing great. How are you and your doggie doing?

We're both great. He's actually at home while I run some errands.

Will he be alright by himself.


I needed to do some errands but I've perhaps done something I shouldn't have!

Why are you being so mysterious? What's up?

I left the new dog along because I wanted to get out of the house.

Do you think that was wise?

Probably not, and there will probably be poop in the house when I get home.

Maybe come up with an alternative plan for the future? Bring the dog along but leave him in the car with the window cracked?


I had to go and run some errands yesterday and left Tom alone for the first time.

How did they go?

He tore up the cushions, ate the shoes, and the cords.

Next time, you should put him in his crate, so he does not destroy anything!

That is a good idea, he and our stuff will be safe.


I felt really bad having to leave my dog alone while running errands.

Well, sadly sometimes you can't take him everywhere!

I know, but I was worried that we would get a thunderstorm while I was gone. You know how he is about loud noise.

My dog hates loud noises, too. I think they all do.

Yeah. I just get nervous about this, sometimes.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You're dog can handle a lot more than you may think. I'm sure he was fine! But next time ask your neightbors or friends to watch over him when you are busy.

You are a good friend to Robin.


Robin asked me to hold her phone while she goes for a swim in the pool.

Where did you guys go to?

We were at my parents' house in the countryside.

That sounds like a dream.

It was nice to get away from the city for a bit.  It's so relaxing there.

It's nice to have a change of pace.


We got a little drunk last night.

Who did?

Robin and me.

Did anything happen?

Robin jumped into the pool while still dressed in her clothes but before she jumped in she handed me her phone.

Smart move.

That's awesome.

It was kind of awkward because we were just sitting there alone I was singing but it was alright after a few minutes.

I'll tell you what, no one wants someone to sing for them if they don't like their voice.


My friend Quinn told me she loves my voice and wanted me to sing at her wedding.

Are you going to do it?

Of course.  I feel honored.  I am so happy for her and her fiance.

In a couple of months so I have time to prepare.  She already told me some of her favorite songs.

The job market is not great, but I do hope you find a good job soon.


I am sure, if I just look through these couch seats , I can find some loose change

hopefully people dropped some because the bus is getting close to my house

I think I see some over there in that corner just shine the light here

there it is. that was so close

Yeah we ended up finding like ten dollars.

That's enough for a couple days until you get paid.

It's so annoying that Addison's name was put next to mine on the research paper.

How did that happen?

I don't know, I guess she managed to talk the professor into it.

Maybe the professor didn't think it was a big deal and would help her career.

Well it's not fair. She didn't put in all the hard work that everyone else did.

You're right, but there's not much you can do about it now.
