Context: Jesse had some medicine left over from when they were sick. Taylor gave Jesse's medicine to them.

Have you heard from Taylor this week?

No. I called him Tuesday but he didn't answer. Why?

Last week he said he had a sore throat and a headache but he doesn't have insurance. I gave him some cough syrup with codine but it was expired. I wanted to check on him.

Did you call him?

I called him and I stopped by his house. His car was in the drive-way but no one answered. Do you think we should get into his house to check on him?

It might be a good idea. I hope he is okay.


She was sick!

She should visit her doctor!

She said no! Taylor gave them some of my left over medicine from when I was sick

But, that isn't right. She should see her doctor.

I'll tell her again.


Taylor was sick.  I gave him my leftover medicine from when I was sick.

Why is he sick?

He said he went for a midnight swim in the ocean.   The water was cold as ice.  He thinks he got sick from that.

Hope your medicine helps him.

I took that when I had a cold so they should provide him with some relief.

He doesn't usually get sick.  Taylor is a strong guy.


Context: Cameron climbed the fence to escape the prison from which he was held wrongfully convicted of murder.

If my plans are correct I should be able to escape by reaching the other side of this fence.

Hey Cameron! What are you doing back there?

Not So Loud! You scared me. I'm escaping from prison.

What! You really gonna make a run for it?

Yeah, give me a lift. Help me over this fence.

Okay Cameron. Good luck on the other side bro.


Context: By moving into an isolated cabin in the woods, Carson thought they could find peace.

I want to go away for sometime to somewhere quiet where I can be alone.

Why would you want to do that?

I need some peace and I found a great isolated cabin in the woods.

Okay that's great if that would make you feel better.

I'm not sure if that will work. And I have to come back home at some point

Okay sweetie, I am always here for you.


I'm going to finally move into the cabin by the woods.

Why?

Because being away will give me peace

Yes, the world can be hectic man.

Yup, that's why I'm making the move to the cabin.

It should be a good feeling.


We decided to move a cabin in the woods away from everyone to get some peace.

So did that work for you?

No, because we didn't get rid of our cell phones or computers.  People were still contacting us non stop.

So what did you do.

We decided to turn everything off for a few days. It was hard at first, but we did end up being left alone.

I'm glad that worked out for you.


Context: Austin sold their produce in the market because they hoped to share their food with the friends in the community.

I just put some of the produce I grow in the store.

Oh, that's cool. So is it organic?

Yes, it's organic. I really want to help the community be able to have high quality produce.

Is it expensive though?

No, I made it really low cost. You should check it out and help me promote it.

I will do that!


I did my first big sale at the farmer's market today.

What did you bring to sell?

I've been growing vegetables in that field of ours for a while so I wanted to share them with everyone and turn a profit.

And you sold all of them?

Yes and managed to make some cash too.

That's a good way to put your produce to work for you.


Context: Taylor was a traveller, and had stayed in the small village for several days, but had now seen everything there was to see, and Taylor resumed their journey.

There was a cute village I stayed in for a few days during my travels.

Did you do a lot of things there?

I did everything there.

So you're back on the road now?

Yeah, I'm resuming my journey.

That's the life of a traveller.


I love to travel.

Have you been to Ireland?

I stayed in a small village there for several days and saw everything there was to see.

Were you bored at that point?

No, but I wanted to resume our journey.

You're like that song - "On the road again."


I just wanted you to know that I'm going to be leaving the village.

Is there something wrong?

No, not at all. I've just stayed here for several days and feel like I've seen everything there is to see.

I guess that's a good reason to move on.

I'll be sad to go, but as a traveller, I have to resume my journey.

I wish you luck on the rest of your travels.


Context: Remy was playing soccer against several smaller players. Remy knocked them to the ground.

Those little guys shouldn't get in my way.

Why'd you knock them to the ground?

We need to beat that soccer team to go to the championship.

But you could hurt them.

I got the goal!

You're a poor sport and a bully.


I knocked several smaller players to the ground in soccer.

Were they hurt?

I don't think so they got back up quickly to chase after me.

You are fast when you are playing.

I am one of the fastest on the team. We run around the field before practice.

You are such an athlete.


This is great.

Yeh, their players are so small, you're just been knocking them to the ground.

Soccer is fun when you're winning or not.

This could be our first win of the season.

I hope we'll win.

Great work Remy--another goal!


Context: Alex was a firm believer in some really ridiculous ideas and theories, but with good arguments and logic, Casey changed Alex´s attitudes.

Man, when it comes to Alex, it is never easy to get an attitude change in him.

I have never been successful myself winning any arguments with Alex, how did you do it?

When it comes to Alex, you have to come up with some really good arguments and logic, otherwise its in one ear and out the other.

But its hard to come up with good arguments with Alex because he's the master of arguments.

He might be the master of arguments, but he's not the master of logic, which is where his weakness is.

Well, sounds like you know exactly how to spin this one!


I changed his mind on many things

Oh you mean Alex with his weird ideas ?

Yea but I proved my logic and had good arguments and that might have changed his mind

You are very smart

No I just wanted to prove him wrong basically

Wow! That must have cost a lot!

It did, but it'll be worth it. I just love to travel, and I've always wanted to go to the Bahamas!

I've been there, I know you'll love it!


Want to know about my trip?

Sure give me the details.  I know you love to travel.

I am going to the Bahamas.

That's great.

I'll be staying at a luxurious all-inclusive resort.

Living the good life.


I'm going to the Bahamas!

Oh, you are always traveling.

Not as much as I would like.

Are you staying at one of those all inclusive resorts?

Yes, I am. I can't wait.

It'll be awesome.


Context: There was a fire, Sasha grabbed the extinguisher and saved the home from destruction.

The fire started in the kitchen.  I smelled something burning so I grabbed the extinguisher and put it out.

You saved your house.

It would have been disastrous if I wasn't home.

What was burning?

One of the dish towels fell onto the stove and caught fire.

That's dangerous.


I was so scared that I couldn't get the fire extinguisher figured out in time.

Well you obviously figured it out. You put the fire out in seconds.

It felt like hours to me.

How did it happen?

My mom was cooking fried chicken and the oil got too hot I guess.

She was really grateful you put out the fire before it burned down the house.


That fire was getting completely out of control so fast

Thank god you were here on time and no one got hurt

I could see the flames from outside the house and ran over here as fast as I could

I'm just glad someone saw the fire before it got too big to contain

You're a hero. I hope you get a reward for this


There was a fire in my house, it was devastating

I didn't hear about this are you alright?

Yes I grabbed the fire extinguisher and blew it out in the kitchen

That's such a relief! Is the house okay?

Yes I stopped it from encasing the whole house

You're a hero


Context: Lee was going to be a teacher, but Kendall altered Lee's course and they became a doctor.

Lee and I are going to the cabin this weekend.

It must be nice to be married to a doctor who can afford a cabin.

It is. Imagine if Lee had become a teacher like he wanted. We would be so poor!

It's a good thing you convinced him to become a doctor instead.

I know! I think next year I am going to tell him I want to get pregnant.

That might be interesting.


I know you wanted to be a teacher and I convinced you to become something else .

I know and now I'm a doctor.

Do you regret this?

No, I make more money these days.

Okay good.

You're a great person.


When I first met Lee he was going to school to be a teacher.

How did he end up becoming doctor?

We were going to a concert and a car hit us head on. Lee saved my life, by pulling me out of the burning car.

So he decided he wanted to save lives?


I wonder what would've happened if I never convinced Lee to be a teacher

You're the one who convinced himh to be a doctor

I think so, yeah.

I can't imagine Lee as a teacher

Me neither

He is a great doctor

I thought I could hide my weed from my mom very well

Why did she find it or something ?

Yes she did , I should have hid it better

Why don't you put it in the cupboard ?

She would find it anywhere since she does spring cleaning and cleans all part of the home

You are so out of luck then


I hid weed from my mom.

And has she found out?

Yes, she did.

How come?

She was doing a spring cleaning.

That's bad news.

I recently watched a program that taught me about the dangers of sun exposure.

Yes, I got a bad sunburn just the other day.

Well I wasn't about to let that happen to Quinn so I put sunblock on her and kept her under an umbrella at the beach.

You're such a good mother.

She complained about the situation but it's for her own good.

Of course it is.


Did you see that special on the news last week about childhood sun over exposure.

No I didn't, I am sure we weren't suppose to run around naked like we did as kids back in the day.

Not at all, even one burn as a child could lead to skin issues and cancer later on in life.

It can't be that bad, we're all fine now.

I am following their advice, when I took Quinn to the beach she stayed in the shade or was wearing one of those UV blocking long sleeve shirts and sunscreen.

I guess as new information becomes available, we have to adjust to what is best for the safety of our children.


Did you know the sun can be harmful to human beings?

I've heard that the UV rays can cause skin cancer.

That is true. So I am taking some measures to protect Quinn from cancer.

How wise of you! Children are even more susceptible than children.

I don't want my baby getting harmed.

He is going to grow to a handsome and healthy person.

I hope so for your sake as well.


I think I can teach people the value of cooking at home

I showed them an analysis of her perspective on cooking  versus eating out in my article

I was surprised by how much money people can save

It really does seem to add up after awhile


Context: After a long and winding argument over the topic, Lee left Austin's house.

I cannot get through to Austin.

What was the fight about?

Cheerios are easily better that Coco Puffs.

Huh?  It was about something that stupid?

How is cereal stupid?

Because its just a bunch of sugar!


Austin, I did not come to your house to argue about this!

I don't see why you can't understand my point of view here!

I just can't, it makes zero sense! I just don't get it or agree with it

Well that's too bad, I'm not changing my opinion and I don't care what you think

Fine, if you don't care then I'm leaving

Good I'm tired of fighting about it! BYE

I met this really cute guy and I don't have a phone right now so I used hers.

Just let her know and she'll help out.


I hope it's okay that I gave some cute guy I'm interested in your number.

Why didn't you give him your number?

So what should I do if he calls my phone?

Just act like you're me and set up the date.

How cute was he?

That sounds so great, I am happy for you!


Can you believe it's been a whole year since I started dating Aubrey?

Is that right? Oh yeah, you guys started going out last August, didn't you?

Sure did. Back when I figured it would just be a short romance.

You never know how these things are going to end up.

So true. Like, I never expected I would become so close with her kids.

Well, you're really great with them. It's like you guys were meant to be a family.

You picked up reading English so fast did you study it before you came to America

I studied about three years in Mexico and did pretty well in school

I can tell you knew a little bit before I taught you because you seemed to understand it fine

It is always better to be prepared I guess


Alex, lets start with One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish..

But I don't like math! No way.

Alex, this will help with your English! Lets try Green Eggs and Ham. Is a classic book!

No, I am really allergic to eggs. The thought of eggs makes me sick!

Okay, Cat in the Hat? Fox in Socks? or Horton Hears a Who?

What about this one? Tolstoy's War and Peace. This is the one!


I've been spending some of my free time teaching Alex how to read English.

That's really nice of you.

I'm happy to do it. He's such a hard worker.

Is he getting better at reading English?

That's something I can't ever do even though English is my native language.

What contest did you enter?

It's an eating contest.  The one who eats the most food within a certain time period wins prizes.  They have multiple rounds so there are multiple winners.

I will help you through this, we can get through this together.


I was involved in a nasty accident today with Kendall.

Well, so do I, Quinn. I'm sure whatever happened was a mistake.

No, I mean that Ash didn't kill them, period. It was just a careless accident. They fell off the roof when Ash was up there installing the antenna.

So, you don't think Ash got mad at them and insulted them?

Of course I don't. It was just stupidity. They were both a bit tipsy and unsteady on their feet.

I understand. They didn't have any right to be up there in the first place.


We are not robbers.

I think Ash would be though.

Ash is so nice once you know him.

Ash once punched me in the face.

You kicked him first.

You learn quickly my friend.


I thought it would be nice to walk barefoot in the summer.

That sounds relaxing.

But I ended up burning my feet.

That explains your trip to the shoe store.


Man please remind me never to do that again. The road was so stinging hot.

I got straight A's!

Congratulations! You should celebrate.

I am, I decided to throw a party to celebrate.

Can I come to the party too?


Hey dude, come to my party Saturday night at 8, it's going to be a blast!

Sure! What are we celebrating?

Me making my mama proud with straight A's in my first semester of college!

It wasn't too bad, you just have to stay focused

Good thing you did, now we get to party down haha


I'm throwing a big party tonight and I wanted to know if you'd like to come.

Yeah, I'm free. What's the party for?

I'm celebrating my straight A grades at college.

Wow, congratulations! That definitely deserves a party.

Yeah, I've done a great job during my first semester.


Context: Addison was busy all day and didn't have time to eat. She found some leftovers in the fridge. Addison ate the tacos that were left.

Today was so hectic that I didn't even get a chance to eat.

Oh, no. That's not good for you at all.

I know. When I got home I found some leftover tacos in the fridge and ate them.

Wait, those were my leftovers! I was going to have them for lunch tomorrow.

Oh, oops, I'm really sorry. I'll take you out for lunch tomorrow to repay you.

Okay, fair enough. I accept your apology.


I'm feeling a bit queasy.

Oh no, did you eat something bad?

I might have. I found some leftover tacos in the refrigerator and ate them when I got home. I was too busy to eat all day and was so hungry.

Wait, not the tacos that I left there a month ago I hope!

Oh geez, I don't know. Maybe. They had a lot of guacomole in them.

I think that was mold, not guacamole. You'd better go to the hospital!


Thank goodness for leftovers!  Today has been a long and hectic one, I didn't have time to eat lunch.

I hate when that happens.  What'd you end up eating.

I had taco fixings leftover from Tuesday's dinner.

That sounds good.  I wish I had some tacos right about now.  I'm starving!

I make them at least once every week because they not only taste good, but they're so quick and easy to prepare.

Sounds delicious.  Tomorrow is taco night at my house!


Context: Cameron continued playing with the dog to the point he stayed out till it was dark.

I was playing with my dog like all day today.

Is that why you didn't answer my call?

Yeah, sorry, what's up?

Nothing, how is your puppy?

She is good, she is getting bigger everyday.

Awe, I want to come and see her.


I stayed out till it was dark.

How come you stayed this long?

I was playing with my dog.

Did you play that long?

Yes, I did.

Wow sounds like you had fun


I had the best day ever yesterday!

That's awesome! What did you do?

I just played with my dog until it got really late!

Honestly that sounds like so much fun!

Yeah I definitely needed it after my last week at work

There’s nothing that a dog can’t fix!


I love playing with this dog!

I know right, isn't she so cute?

She really is! We've been out here until it was dark!

I know! Totally worth it though!

Agreed! What a blast!


I took my dog out for a walk today.

I bet the poor boy was dying for something outdoorsy.

Yeah, I took its favorite plush toy with me.

And what did you do with that?

We played a game of catch till it was dark.

Whoa! That must have been so much fun.


Context: Jordan was playing with a friend when the friend hurt his head. Jordan gave him something to help it.

I am so sorry to hear that you hurt your head.  I wish that you have an awesome and speedy recovery my friend

Thank you. The head trauma was severer but it is manageable with pain medication here and there.  I am lucky to be alive

Sure you are! I hope you have learned a valuable lesson about staying safe

I really have.  I appreciate you being here and supporting me the whole way through.  You are such a good friend

Of course. I'm happy to help you

You are! Thanks


Are you all right?  That was a bad fall.

My head hurts.

You have a bump on your head.

It really hurts.

Here, press this iced towel to your head.  That will help.

I hope so.  Thank you.


Here take this ice pack

Thanks, is it bleeding?

No but you do got a big egg

It hurts a lot

You fell from the top of the slide maybe we should call your mom

Yeah I think so too


Context: Aubrey opened Casey's eyes to the fact that Aubrey loved them and Casey wanted to return that love.

I love you and I think you might feel the same way for me.

Wow, I didn't know you felt that way about me.

I do. Do you feel the same?

I think I do. I think we would work great together.

I love you.

I love you too.


I finally just broke down with Casey and let him cry in my arms as I cried into his!

What was he even crying about? I have never seen a man cry.

Just life, love, heartache and all the things he had been threw, it was like he had never had anyone really listen to him before.

Do you think he knows how much you love him now and that you are not going to hurt him?

I certainly hope he understands that all I want is his love, and nothing else.

Well if he doesn't understand that, than I am not sure what he will understand.


Context: Kai played a prank on their parents because it was the first of April and it was their tradition.

Guess what today is?

April 1st?

Yup! I just pranked my parents and they got so mad at me! They should know better as it's a tradition.

Oh no! What did you do this time?

I switched out the sugar with salt. My parents spit out the coffee when they tasted the salt!

That's not nice. You better not prank me!


I love it when April arrives.

Do you have special occasions during April?

Yes! I played prank on my parents because it was first of April.

Ohhh! Seems you enjoy playing pranks on them

Sure! it is our tradition.

Good.


I really got my parents good today.

What do you mean by that?

I played a prank on them.

Why would you do that?

It's the first of April.

I can't believe I forgot. I wanted to play a prank on you too.


Context: Our substitute teacher that day was Kendall, who took us all to the art museum.

I had to fill in for Mrs. Barnes for the field trip.

Where did you guys go?

It was a trip to an art museum, the kids learned so much and were excited to see all the painting and sculptures.

Kids should have the chance to experience art in all forms. Did they keep you buys chasing them?

Oh my god, they wore me out!


I was the substitute teacher that day.

I didn't know you were a substitute teacher.

Yeah, I'm on call at the charter school.

That's nice. Do you choose the activities for the classes you teach?

Sometimes. That day I did. I took the class to the art museum.

You must be a great teacher.


Context: On a sunny day at the park, Jan played games with their friends.

I had such a fun day at the park.

It was a nice day to be at the park.

It sure was. A bunch of my friends were there and we played games all day.

Sounds like a lot of fun.

It was. I hope we do it again, soon.


Hey want to come out and play in the park later?

Yeah I am almost done with my chemistry homework.

We are playing some ultimate frisbee here so it'll be fun.

Okay, I love ultimate frisbee and play it all the time!

That's great, we're gonna be here til 3pm.

Okay, I'll see you down there soon.


You want to go to the park with me?

Sure, it looks like a nice day.

Yeah, it's supposed to be sunny all day.

What should we do at the park?

We should play games with all our friends.

That'll be a lot of fun.


It is the perfect weather for a fun activity, don't you think?

That is true! We can play Capture-the-flag.

Sheesh-kebab! I left the my flags at home.

I did not bring mine either.

How about Frozen tag?

Yes. Look! Your mum. Tag, you're it!


Context: Kendall impressed upon Remy her values about how to go to work on time and pay your bills.

I told Remy how to get financially organized.

How did Remy receive the advice?

Everything I said about going to work on time and paying bills seemed to fall on deaf ears.

I'm sure Remy has heard it all.

It's just that it's hard to not speak in generalities when it comes to this stuff, you know? How do I get through to them?

Yeah, knowing the right action doesn't seem to always motivate people.


Hi Remy. I just want to talk to you about something that is very important to me.

Sure what's up?

Great, it's very important to get to work and pay your bills on time.

I agree. But sometimes, I can't get to work on time. Sometimes, my bills are too high, and I can't pay them.

You'll need to use strategies to leave out early for work and budget your income.

Your values mean a lot to me. I'll work very hard to accomplish these goals.


I had to have a talk with Remy today about his responsibilities.

He's slacking I take it.

Yeah, I got an email today about his cell phone bill being unpaid now for over a month and his work called looking for him cause he was late.

Sounds like he's enjoying his summer a bit too much.

Indeed, I think I need to impress upon him that if he wants to keep the privilege of using the car, he needs to get to work on time and pay his bills.

I am sure once he doesn't have the car keys anymore, he will remember the values of hard work and punctuality.


Context: After spotting the large black widow spider building a web in the window, Skylar killed the spider.

That was one huge spider that was on the window

I think it was a black widow

Oh wow, I think they are really poisonous

Well, it's a good thing it's dead so it can't hurt us anymore


Man I hate spiders.

Hey be nice Skylar! That's a rare black widow!

No thanks. I hate spiders.

Aww come on! Skylar you didn't have to squash it.

Hey, you said it yourself. It was a rare and dangerous spider.

You could have moved it to another location, Skylar.


Context: Cameron made a deal with the prosecutor for a lighter sentence if he informed on his fellow burglars.

My lawyer made me a deal with the prosecutors for a lighter sentence.

What do you have to do to get it?

I just have to tell them everything I know about the other burglars.

You mean you're going to snitch on your friends?

You can call it that if you want. I'm just looking out for myself.

If I were you, I would be careful if the others find out.


Context: Cameron and his friend had always wanted to start a business. Cameron lived their dream and did it.

How has business been so far?

Great. I think we're going to do well this year.

I can't wait to go and shop there.


You know how I always talked about wanting to start my own delivery business. I finally quit dreaming about it and did it!

Oh wow! How's it going so far?

Well, there's been a lot of ups and downs -- learning curves and unexpected things but overall I think it's been great.

Do you think the business will thrive even with corona virus going on?

I'm hoping now is the time it will grow the most as people are wanting things delivered instead of going out to pick them up themselves

Well, I hope it all works out for the best for you!


I'm going to have to start hiring more employees at the record store.

Wow that's really taking off for you! I'm so mad at myself for chickening out at the last minute.

Yeah I'm pretty excited at how things are going. It's hard work but it's a great feeling having your own business.

Meanwhile I sit in a cubicle all day. Darn!

Well it's never too late. And now that I know the ins and outs I can help you out. There's a space open across the street from my store.

I'll give that some consideration. Maybe I'll open up my own record store and put you out of business! Haha.


Context: Jan had a job interview at the hotel, so Taylor came along to fill out an application.

Maybe we could commute together.

And maybe we're getting a little ahead of ourselves.


I've been meaning to apply at the hotel.

I have an interview there today. You should come along.

That would be great.  You sure you don't mind?

No, it would be great to have the company on the way.

Great, I'll get my coat.

You will never see the money.

Why would you say that?

I just quit a job selling books on facebook to all of my friends through a multi level marketing company.


I've been selling these books on Facebook to all of my friends.

Where do you get the books from?

From a multi-level marketing company.

Oh, so is this one of those where you want friends to sign up to?

I would like for them to. Some do. But not all.

It's good that you're not pushy.

Had to, what else was I? going to do

You did great


I got hit by a soccer ball in the face yesterday during the game.

Did you get hurt?

It was nothing.  I get hit all the time.

That's part of the game I guess.

It's a contact sport so I expect to get hit and get injured.

It requires a certain acceptance of the dangers to play the game.


Did you see that?

Yea, the soccer ball nailed you in the face and you didn't blink.

I know, I was really into the game.

I love your focus.


Don't freak out, but I have a black eye.

Seriously? What happened?

I got hit in the face with the ball during the soccer game yesterday.

Ouch! Are you okay?

Yeah, I think I had so much adrenaline I didn't even really notice until afterwards. It doesn't hurt much.

My family moved 10 times when I was a kid.

That is a lot of moving.

It is. I was the new kid at school a lot.

Did you go to a different school every time?

I went to five different elementary schools. It was hard to make friends and keep them.

That must have been tough.


It is so hard to make any friends since I move so much.

Well I am your friend.  At least you got me.

Yes, but I wish my family would  quit moving but we have to because my dad is in the military.

Well you got me as long as you are here or as long as we stay in

I can imagine, you have a tough schedule.


It was a tough morning.

How's that?

I woke up at 5:00 A.M., exhausted, and then had to go right to work.

Well, either you have to go to bed earlier or get a job that doesn't start at 6:00 A.M.

Nice advice, genius.

I can see you're still tired and cranky.

I'm glad, poor little guy


I changed my kitten's food from that cheap stuff.

I'm so happy I did.

That is nice.


I put the money right back in his wallet.

That is what he told me. He thought its strange.

But I paid him back. That's what counts.

Yeah, he said; "but at least I got the money back this time."

What? I don't owe him anymore money.

He appears to think otherwise.


I decided to give you back the money as change and I put it in your wallet.

You didn’t have any bills?

No, I gave you all quarters though so it would not be too much.

I guess that is ok, because last time you forgot to even pay me back.

I know and I also included that money as well.

Well that was nice of you to do.


I put the money I borrowed back in your wallet.

Thanks, but it was all change.

It was money I was keeping in a jar after emptying my pockets for months.

Well, I'm glad I at least got repaid.

I know that I still owe you from other times.

No, big deal.

My workplace gave me a huge bonus this year. It was unexpected, I was so overwhelmed.

What are you going to do with it Lee?

I am going to give it to charity.  I usually only give 10% of my income to charity, but I thought this would make a nice gift.

Oh I never itemize on my taxes so I don't want a receipt.

Okay then.


Context: Sydney concentrated on the ball in their hands, and no one was able to make them fumble.

It was a great game right.

With enough dedication you will do great.

I sure hope so,  I will practice that strategy.


I have really been trying to improve my ball handling skills.

What techniques have you found that seem to help?

Well I watched some online videos about improving it and started doing what those guys were saying.

Does it seem to be helping? Have you noticed a difference?

I think so I focused on them last game and didn't have a single fumble!

That is really impressive. You will have to show me those tricks!

Times have sure been tough lately.

They have, did you manage to find a job yet?

Not yet, I was looking at working as a waitress in a restaurant but changed my mind.

Oh, what made you change your mind?

My friend Skylar advised me against it, she said that a waitress was a dead end job.

Ah that's a shame, I'm sure you'll find something soon.


Skylar keeps interfering in my career.

In what way?

She keeps telling me that being a waitress is a dead end job, but I love what I am doing at the truck stop.

Well Quinn you are really smart, maybe Skylar has a point. What is your goal with this job

I am just working here temporarily to save up enough money so I can move out

Oh, in that case just ignore Skylar and focus on your goal.


I think I'm going to apply for a waitressing position.

That would be good way to earn some extra money

I am not sure though

Why are you unsure?

Skylar said it's a dead end job.

Don't listen to Skylar, make your own decisions

So Riley this is Mr. Catsy, my cat and best friend.

Oh cute, can I have a look at him too.

That explains the hungry face.

Yeah, he gets cranky if he doesn't eat, I better get him food.

You should poor Mr. Catsy.


I think my cat is hungry.

Oh, how do you know?

When cats are hungry, they lick their claws.

That's a good piece of information to know.

It just so happens that I am very in tune with my cat.

Cleary! I overheard you telling Riley that he is called Fluffy, that's a great name.


I got a cat this weekend.

Wow, I heard you telling Riley her name. I didn't even know you could have pets in that apartment?

Yeah you are allowed to have a small dog or a cat.

Well it'll be nice that you are able to have somebody to keep you company.

Sadly this cat is not great at keeping people company.

I'm sure she will warm up to you over time.


Just while I was telling Riley my cat's name, Fluffy, the cat started to show up!

Oh what a coincidence, what happened?

Riley was there watching the cat when the cat started running like crazy around the food bowl

Your cat is funny

I am curious.  What is it?

That's amazing.


Can you believe it?

Believe what?

I have a special super power.

What super power could you possibly have?

I can transmute silver into gold.

Here, I have a silver spoon, can you show me?


If this experiment works we'll be rich forever my friends.

This is so exciting Robin, I'm sure glad you hired me as your assistant.

Well Robin, did it work?

Look for yourself can you not see the brilliant radiance of pure gold made from nothing but silver.

Oh my God, Robin, you're a genius.

That's just my way of life.

Why do you keep moving so much?

There is no place that feels like home without her.

I am sorry that Amy died, but you need to settle down and go on with life.

That is the thing, I don't know if I want to.

I think that you need to go and talk to someone about your feelings.


I can't seem to find a good house here

There are so many houses around Sydney, you just need to keep looking and I am sure you could find one

I know, but every time I seem to find a good one I always find a fault in it.

Sydney, maybe the reason you can't find one is because you have very high expectations

So what do you suppose I should do

Find one house and settle, you could even try to renovate the house you get to your taste

That's what I'm planning to do. I fear for my safety.

Know one thing. I'm always here when you need me or if you want someone to talk to.


Things have become very complicated between me and Sydney

Oh that is terrible new, what happened?

Sydney found out that I was having an affair and tried to kill me with a cast iron pan

That's awful, have you gone to the police?

I didn't think it was serious enough to get the police involved

This is definitely serious, I would go to them straight away


Context: Robin had given up her daughter for adoption 20 years ago, but today Robin decided to call her.

I really miss my daughter.

When was the last time you've seen her?

I gave her up for adoption 20 years ago.

You should try to get in contact with her.

Yes, today I decided to call her.

I hope she answers and that the two of you can get to know each other better.


I was so nervous when I dialled the phone.

What made you decide to finally call her?

Well it's been 20 years and I wanted to see how she turned out.

Did she want to talk to you?

Yes, we are actually going to meet in person soon.

That's great, I hope all goes well for you.


Context: Aubrey was trying to explain her reasoning. Alex looked at Aubrey closely while she spoke.

I had a weird conversation today

Who did you talk to?

Do you know Aubrey? Her

Oh yes, your neighbour that you told me about?

Yes! today she was explaining something very complex and weird, and all I could do was stare at her while she spoke.

That happens to me sometimes, I totally get it.


I was listening to Aubrey.

What did she have to say?

She was trying to explain her reasoning.

Did her argument make sense?

I was so fixed on her face that I missed her reasoning altogether.

You owe it to her to let her make her case.


My friend Aubrey came over yesterday to tell me why she was moving.

What was the reason she gave for her decision?

I forget the exact words she used, I was more focused on her facial expressions.

Did she seem sincere or like she was making excuses?

From my close examination of her while she spoke, she seemed totally sincere.

So I guess you believed her, right?


Context: Tracey saw mouse droppings in their house, so they set a trap and caught it.

Be careful where you're walking, I've got mousetraps everywhere.

Is there an infestation?

I don't know, but I found mouse droppings in a few rooms of the house and didn't want to take any chances.

That's good thinking. Mice are pests.


Oh, I think my mousetrap just went off!

what?

There was a mouse making a nest in my kitchen, I found it's droppings, but I think I just trapped it

I'm surprised your cat didn't catch it.

He's way too fat to care about anything but his next set of treats.

You're not wrong, he looks pretty overweight.


I was wondering where the dropping came from.  One night I went downstairs for a snack and saw this mouse running around, so I bought a trap for it.

Did you trap it?

Yeah, I put some cheese on the trap.  A couple of days later, the mouse was dead in the trap.

How sad.

It's a mouse.  Not a friend who died.

It's still sad.


Context: After ordering dinner in a restaurant, Sasha took a walk to the bathroom.

I can't wait for the food to get here, I'm so hungry!

Yeah, same, I'm glad they finally took our order.

Do you know where the restroom is?

I think it's back towards the kitchen.

Okay I have to use it real quick, I'll be right back.

Sounds good.


I was so excited for dinner.

Did you cook?

We decided to just order food in a restaurant.

That's a lot easier.

I was not feeling good so after ordering, I had to head to the bathroom.

I am sorry about that.


Context: Lee was wanting to sell one of his collectible figurines. Lee made a little extra money when he sold it.

Let me take you out for coffee later. I made more money selling my collectibles than I was expecting.

Were they more valuable than you thought?

They appreciated in value a little bit since I bought them, so at the very least I made a profit when all is said and done.

A profit you're going to spend now taking me out for coffee, right?

That's right!


So I sold that Darth Vader figurine that I have two of.

Oh how much did you get?

I got $100! I put it up on eBay.

That's great! How much did you pay for it?

I think I got it for like $10.

Wow that was a nice investment. Congratulations!


I finally sold my Star Wars figurines.

You got rid of your figurines?

I sold them, for a nice profit too.

Ok, then maybe they were worth it.


Context: Quinn was trying to let their friend know how they felt. Quinn defined their feelings in simple terms.

I tried to break it down in simple terms that my friend would understand.  I was hurt by how she treated my little brother. It wasn't cool.

What did your friend do?

She made fun of him.

That's totally not cool.

He was acting up and wouldn't calm when I asked him nicely. Then she called him an idiot.

That's just hurtful.


I feel hungry.

Yea, its almost dinner time.

I haven't eaten in about 6 hours.

Me neither. Its time to eat.

Well my stomach is growling.

Mine too. Talk to you later.


I am feeling so down today like everything is crashing around me.

It is okay to feel this way, no one is supposed to be happy all the time.

I just think I could be doing so much more with my life.

You are an amazing and intelligent person, you will come out on the other side of this.

I hope you are right because right now I feel like hiding from everything,

Just know that I will always be here for you no matter what.


Context: After Kai assaulted Kendall with murderous intent, Kendall ended Kai life.

Looks like I am going to spend the rest of my life in prison.

This is all too much for me.  I still can't believe you killed Kai.

It was self defence.  Kai tried to kill me so I killed him first.

I don't think that you will spend the rest of your life in jail since it was self defence.  So don't worry.

But I took a man's life.  I feel so bad.  My life is over.

I will be here with you throughout the trial Kendall, I will be here for you.  I will be a character witness for you.


Context: Sydney sounded Casey's alarm in order for her to get a head start on the day.

Sydney set off my alarm way too early this morning

Maybe she thought you could benefit from getting a little bit more time for your day.

I am well aware of how much time I need in a day to do my routine.

Maybe talk with Sydney and ask her to not set off your alarm so early again.

That's a good idea, I will bring it up with her next time I see her.

Hopefully it doesn't happen again after that.


Context: Skylar fancied Alex for a long time and finally built up the courage to tell Alex about their feelings.

I told Alex that I've found him attractive for a long time.

How did that go?

I was very nervous about it.  It took me a long time to build up the courage to tell him my feelings. He told me that he feels the same way.

You guys would make such a cute couple.

We have so much in common.  Alex has been my best friend for a long time.  I didn't want to tell him I liked him because I was afraid to lose our friendship.

You wouldn't lose it.  It'll just be better.


Context: Kendall sent Kai away to a military boarding school because he was getting into too much trouble.

I hate being at military boarding school.

How did you wind up here?

I was getting in too much trouble.

That seems like a pretty silly reason to send you to military school.

Well, it wasn't my choice, my step-mom Kendall made the decision

That's harsh, hopefully it gets better for you.


Context: Carson was deciding what to have for dinner and solved the problem in a smart way.

Hi, how's your day been? I was in a quandary about what to have for dinner.

My day went well. So what were you thinking about having for dinner?

I couldn't decide between Chinese or Mexican food.

So have you reached a decision yet?

I decided to flip a coin. Heads was Chinese. Tails was Mexican. Chinese won. Yum!

I like Chinese food too. I'll be right over.


I'm not sure whether to cook dinner or order from a restaurant.

What ideas do you have in mind?

I'm thinking about pasta.

You can find a great pasta recipe or go to a restaurant that specializes in pasta.

I've made my decision. I'll order in pasta.

That sounds like a great idea.


Context: Skylar rejected every idea given to them. They were headstrong.

I know that I deserve better.

You need to have a normal wedding.

I want a wedding in a mansion!

You cannot afford that!

I have worked so hard and I want my mansion!

You need a way to pay for something like that!


All the ideas were bad.

Are you sure?

I went through every single one of them and they all have issues.  I am just headstrong and hard to please.

That sounds about right.

We need to have another brainstorm meeting again.

Are you going to schedule that?


I rejected every idea they gave me but they kept insisting.

So are you going to change your mind and accept any of their ideas?

I told them they had to do better and the next time they present an idea, it better be the best one.

Wow! That's kind of strict. Did you give them any leads to go off of?

Nope. They need to learn how to do this job and do it right.


Context: Kendall just had a new baby and drove the car to the front of the hospital.

I am tired of driving.

How come you were driving?

I just had my new baby and I had to drove.

Were you alone?

Yes, so I drove the car to the front of the hospital.

Oh, you are so brave!


The other day I went to take the baby to see the doctor at the hospital.

How did that go?

Everything's fine, she is doing great.  But I didn't know where to park so I just parked right in the front of the hospital.

Did they tow your car?

No but a policeman was writing a ticket when we came back out.  But he was so nice, when he saw I had a little baby he tore up the ticket and told me to have a great day.

That was nice of him.  Sometimes cops can be nice to people.


Context: Casey loved politics, so she wanted to be class president.

I love politics.

You should run for office some day.

I want to some day soon.  I want to be class president.  To get on the ballot I need to get twenty-five signatures on a petition

I can do that for you.

Great. Then it's just a matter of putting up a few campaign signs and making a good speech at the sophomore class assembly.

Let's get on it.  I think you can win.


I am going to run for class president.  I love politics.

You could win it.  You are so popular.

It's not a popularity contest.

Mostly it is.  People vote for the people they like.

That's true.  I just want people to vote for me because of what I have to say.

You've got my vote.


I am running for class president!

I would vote for you. What is your platform going to be?

I don't know yet, will you help me?

Sure, let's meet at lunch and talk about it.


Lee thank you for helping me with my campaign posters, running for class president is so exciting!

No problem, it's going to be fun, what made you decide to run for president?

I have a weird love for politics so I figured this is the perfect platform for me to get into.

Oh I didn't realize, well don't forget me when you are running for president of the U.S. one day!

Right! You can help me do those posters.

Well let's get to it, these will be the best posters this school has ever seen!


I'd like to run as class president.

That is a hard job. Are you sure you can handle it?

I'm sure I can. It will be good practice for my future.

What would you like to be after we graduate?

I would like to go into politics. I find this very interesting.

I think you'll do good in politics. You are very smart and you have a great personality. Good luck on running for class president.


Context: Jan and their partner were going to a big new year's party at a bar downtown. Jan decided to leave the car keys at home and take a taxi.

That Taxi cab smelled so bad.

It could not have been that bad.

It smelled like old socks.

Did you tell the driver?

The driver was where the smell came from!

Oh wow, that sounds awful.


I've been looking forward to this New Year's Eve party all year.

I am too. I haven't been downtown in a long time.

Me either. I wasn't sure whether I should drive or take a taxi.

How did you end up getting here?

I left my car keys at home and took a taxi.

That's probably for the best.


Macy and I went to a big New Year's Party at a bar downtown.  I decided to leave the car keys at home and take a taxi.

That's a wise decision.

We want to drink and have a celebration without worry about driving drunk.

Not everyone is that responsible.

Sad but true.

My friend lost her baby girl to drunk driving recently.


We went to a New Year's party downtown for my husband's job.

That sounds fancy. What all did you guys do?

It was fancy. But it was boring. His work friends always bore me so I just end up drinking a lot so we just took a taxi there and back and didn't even try and drive.

That was probably a smart idea.

I could have been the designated driver, but then my night would have been ruined. So I just left my keys at home.

Smart. Because then you couldn't even drive if you wanted to when your judgment was impaired.


Context: Sydney had made a big mess and did not want to clean it up, so Kendall told Sydney´s mom about it.

I had dumped my pasta all over the table but I was too lazy to clean it up.  Kendall told my mom about it.

Did you clean it up eventually?

My mom told me I had to otherwise she won't give me money for this weekend.

That's good that you cleaned up your own mess.

I know I should.  I was just being a brat.  I should always clean up after myself.

Your mom taught you well.


Context: Alex was about to make meatballs but he didn't want his sleeves to get dirty so he rolled them up.

The sauce from these meatballs always ruins my shirt

Don't be a wimp dude it's just pasta sauce

Yeah well this is my lucky shirt. I only have one of these

Buy a new one if that one gets ruined

You don't understand. I have scored 100 on every chemistry test by wearing this shirt. I cannot afford to have it ruined

Well okay. You wouldn't want to ruin that shirt then. That's some great luck


I was making meatballs the other day.

How did they turn out?

Pretty well. I was wearing an old sweater while making them.

Yeah, why an old sweater?

I thought it would be messy. But the sleeves of an old sweater won't stay up unless you roll them up.

Yeah, that will do the trick.


Context: Riley was upset and crying about their break-up, so Remy held them in their arms.

Riley is having a tough time getting over her break-up

I am sure being held in Remy's arms will help too.


I hope you're doing okay Riley.

I am so sorry to hear about your break-up

Do you know what caused them to break up?

No, what happened?

Riley said that she was cheated on.

That's awful news!

I'm glad it worked out for you.


I am totally obsessed with this book.

Oh yeah, I have read that before.

Isn't it amazing?

Yeah, and the cliff hangers are insane.

I already kind of know what is going to happen at the end.

Oh, so you read spoilers?


I love the book I'm reading, it's got my attention!

Can you recommend the book for me?

Sure! Later.

Thanks, I will wait.

Reading the book, I knew what might happen in the end

I hope your guess will be right.

You shouldn't wait for me I have many chores to do.

Really, what else do you have to do?

Well the laundry and then go to the pharmacy.

Huh, I guess that will take a while.

Yeah, I need to tell Tracy to go ahead and let the others know I will be late.

I am happy to wait for you while Tracy goes ahead.


Well I have a lot to do today.

Like what?

I have to do laundry and then take a trip to the pharmacy.

Hmm that is a lot, can anyone help you?

I could ask Tracy to go for me instead.

That's a good plan.


Context: To get the money he needed to pay his other bills, Carson sold their cars at prices lower than recommended.

I sold my car at such a deep discount so I could pay my bills.

Did you get enough for it to pay off your other bills?

Yes, just barely.

That's good, but how are you going to get to work now?

I'm only a few minute walk from a bus stop, so I'll do that until I can save enough for another car.

You could also think about getting a bike.


I'm selling all these cars at lower prices.

Are you in need of money that badly?

Yes, I need cash flow as soon as possible to pay bills.

At least you have a way of coming up with the money.

I need to find a better way to pay my bills next month.

Definitely, but for now just focus on this month.


I am so short of money nowadays.

I wish I could be of help but I am broke too.

Don't worry about it. I just sold my cars and I should be able to pay my bills.

That was a wise decision.

I feel better now that I have paid my necessary bills.

I wish you luck, my friend.

Kai and I went to the stables to the horses.

Was the instructor there?

How was your horse?

She was great! She was all groomed and looked happy to see me.

That's awesome, I should come next time.


I'm so excited to see my horse!

Me too man! how long has it been since you've seen her

I was really worried about this lump I found, but seeing the doctor has calmed me down.

I am glad it came back all clear.

I know, I've never felt a lump before so when I noticed it I got it checked straight away.

Its good to keep up the routine checks like that

Yeah definitely.

Better safe than sorry!


My doctor checked out my lump and had surgery.  I feel all better now.

That's good that you had it removed.

It wasn't cancerous, but I wanted it removed, just to be safe.

You have to watch out for lumps.

Cancer runs in my family so I am extra careful.

I have cancer in my family too.


After finding the lump I wasn't sure whether I would be okay.

Lumps can be really dangerous so it's good that you noticed it.

I booked an appointment with the doctor as soon as I found it.

Have you had it checked out already?

Yes, the doctor gave me the all clear, I am feeling much better about it now.

That's great to hear!

I did something wrong.

What was that?

I wanted my team to win so I taught them how to cheat.

That was so wrong.

Practice takes time you know.


I fear that I have given bad advice to the team.

Oh, what did you do?

I told them to cheat rather than practice.

That is terrible ce.

Yeah I do regret it.

I would definitely own up to your mistake.

The nerve of him.

I hurt him much worse.

Wow this is a terrible situation


Austin hit me again last night.

I do, but I had left my phone at home, and realized it almost to late.

How did you find out the correct time?

I asked someone what time it was and luckily it was close to the time I had to be home.

See I told you it would be good

The trailer looked so dumb though

It's supposed to, its one of those dumb comedies

Next time you can try to change my mind about a movie


The movie was interesting.

Yeah, I loved it also.

I thought it looked pretty dumb from the previews.

Yeah, I saw it also.

But, the movie is seriously dope.

That's true, previews don't reflect the finished film most times.


The movie was much better than I was expecting!

You said it looked pretty dumb

I wish I could take back those words

I told you not to judge the trailers

I know and I did!

Learn something from this

My client Lee was dispelled from school for wearing the wrong thing.

What did your client wear?

He wore a badge from one of the organization he supports and that was seen to be controversial.

That's his right, isn't it?

That's what I am going to argue in court.  I am helping him fight for his rights to wear whatever he wants.

You fight the good fight.


That school tried to tell Lee he could not wear his braids.

How can they do that, it's part of his culture.

That is why I filed a lawsuit, speaking to the school did nothing.

By taking it to court, you may be helping other kids as well.


Lee should be free to wear what he likes now I have been to court.

Wow. Thanks for doing that for him Addison. How did you manage it?

I convinced the judge that fashion is a form of expression that is protected by the first amendment.

That's a very clever argument.

I am just very happy that Lee can express himself.

I am sure he will be too!

Are you going to buy a house?

Yes I am.

That's amazing news!


I start my new job tomorrow, at that new business.

Wow, congratulations. I didn't know you were looking for job.

Yes, it's time to go back to work. Plus, we're going to take out a home loan and it helps if I'm working, too.

I see, it'll definitely help with the loan. What are you planning to do with it?

No, we want to consolidate our bills into one payment. The interest will be much less, too.

Good idea. Hope it works out for you with the loan. Let me know how it goes.


So I have decided not to go back to school for now and to take this business job.

What were the deciding factors for you?

Well I really would like to get a better home loan so I will need a better work history on file

Is your home loan not satisfactory right now

It is a little high and can't be modified, I just need a good job with a good income

Sounds like it was a good decision for you then, good luck with the loan!


I decided to take a business job recently.

Why so?

I needed it to get a better home loan.

Glad to hear that.

Hopefully this job works out.

Wishing you the best.

Do you think she has a chance of winning the competition?

She is definitely going to win the competition.

I stayed out all night partying last night.

You should still be cautious about what you are doing.


My family tells me when I was growing up that I am the responsible one out of all of my siblings.

How many siblings do you have?

I came from a decent size family.  There's six of us plus our parents.  That's a family of eight.

That's pretty big.  I only have one sister.

You want to see the world.  Nothing wrong with that.

I played a game with a friend earlier

That's cool what'd you play?

Just something so we could finally settle our feud

How did it go?

Fine I guess, but I had to clearly state all the rules of the game for them to understand it.

Maybe it was their first time playing


We need to settle all these nasty tensions that we have between us.

You're so right.  We need to play a game to settle this

Yeah there are a lot of rules in the game that I need to go over with you

That's feasible.  I am excited to play

Once we understand the rules we can finally settle this fued.

I am ready


So here are rules of our contest.

Why do you get to make the rules?

I think you will find them fair and equal.

Okay, let's hear them.

Number one, there is no cheating. Number two, you cannot move backwards. Number three, the game will last exactly three rounds.

Fair enough. Let's settle this thing once and for all!


Context: Cameron broke my leg by accident and I was in a lot of deep and physical pain.

I'm really sorry I broke your leg during martial arts training.

It's okay. The doctor gave me a lot of medication after the surgery.

Does it still hurt.

Yeah, there is still a lot of deep and physical pain, but it feels a lot better than it did before.

I hope you get better soon.

Me too. I can't wait to get back to training.


I accidentally broke someone's leg by accident.

What happened?

I accidentally tripped them.

How are they feeling?

They're in a lot of physical pain, like a lot.

You should make sure you tell them it was an accident.


I didn't mean to break your leg.

I know you didn't mean to. It was accident.

Are you in a lot of pain?

When the painkillers wear off I have a lot of physical pain.

We need to quit playing so rough.

Definitely need to be more careful in the future.


Me and my friend were wrestling around and he got hurt.

Was he okay?

I accidentally broke his leg and he was in a lot of pain.

Oh no, did he go to the hospital?

He did, an ambulance had to come to collect him.

I am really sorry to hear that, I hope he feels better soon.


Context: Robin went alone to the party despite warnings from friends. Robin was especially hard headed.

I hope I look great with this new dress for the party.

Robin, why don't you bring someone with you to the party.

I want to go alone.

But its a couples party! You're supposed to bring a date.

I am my own date!

You are being especially hard headed today.


I'm going to that party alone tonight.

You don't know anyone there, I don't trust those people.

I don't care I just want to party.

You shouldn't go alone, what if something happens?

I will be fine, I'm an adult.

I still don't think it's a good idea.


Context: Mark offered Austin chocolate cake with sprinkles. Austin wanted ice cream instead.

Thanks for this cake Mark, but do you have any ice cream instead of sprinkles?

Oh good idea Austin, I could go for some ice cream too.

I am sure it would make this cake taste even better.

I usually like sprinkles but in this case I think ice cream would be amazing.

I hope Mark has some.

Me too.


I'm just not much a cake person. I prefer ice cream.

Well what kind of ice cream did they have.

They had vanilla ice cream to go with the chocolate cake.

Were Mark's feelings hurt that you didn't want the cake?

Nope. He knows besides liking ice cream more that I'm watching my weight.

Good. I hate it when people get mad when you reject their offerings.


I was so hungry for ice cream earlier but Mark only had chocolate cake with sprinkles.

Did you check in the freezer, I thought we had some.

I asked him to check but he said there wasn't any left.

Someone must've eaten it then, did you have the cake anyway?

No, I was really craving ice cream.

I get like that sometimes too.


Context: Carson was having a hard time trying to understand the sentence. Jordan served Carson an example to help.

I had to help Carson with understanding some sentences this morning.

Spanish can be very hard to learn.

It's definitely not an easy language master.

How did you become so good at it?

Someone that worked with my grandma spoke it and so I was around it a lot.

That makes sense, lucky you.


Carson was really struggling with understanding some of the sentences from the Spanish homework today.

Did you manage to help him with it?

I just gave him an example to help him understand it better.

It must help that you are already fluent in Spanish.

It definitely does, but in future Carson should ask the teacher for help.

If he asks you again just politely tell him to ask the teacher.


Context: Jesse wanted to pick out a book and selected the one that was best for you.

Here you go! Happy Birthday!

Thank you Jesse! You didn't have to! What is it?

Well, open it and you will find out!

A new cook book! My favourite! How did you know?

You love cooking, and I wanted to make sure I picked out the best book for you!

Well, you were spot on! Thank you so much!


Here, this book is amazing. It will change your life.

Oh, a self-help book? I don't read those. They're all the same.

I'm telling you, this one is different. This book is truly capable of making a whole new person out of you.

I guess it's worth a try.


Context: Alex wanted to help Aubrey prepare for college, so Alex packed Aubrey's car.

I am really trying to help Aubrey prepare for college.

What does she need to do before she leaves?

She hasn't even packed her car yet, I am going to do it for her so it's one less thing to worry about.

I am sure she will appreciate that a lot.

I hope so, she really needs to get ready if she wants to get there on time.

I am sure she is just getting flustered from everything that needs to be done.


I can't believe Aubrey is leaving for college today, do you know if she needs any more help?

She won't be too far away. Could you help me load her car, she has some bags that are ready to be packed?

Of course, where are the bags?

In the hallway, she has a lot of stuff so we are going to need to be organised.

Wow she does have a lot, is all of this going to fit in her room?

I'm sure it will be fine!


I'm going to help Aubrey get ready to leave for college.  She's running late and still hasn't even packed her stuff in the car.

Okay.  I can help too, I don't have anything else to do today.

I'm going to grab the two suitcases.  Can you get the boxes?

Sure, no problem.  I'll also grab this guitar case.

The trunk of her car might not be big enough for everything she is bringing to college with her!

Let's just see what we can fit and go from there.


Context: Austin predicted cancer rates in patients would continue to go down due to the new breakthrough treatment they developed.

This new breakthrough has proven to be effective.

Why do you say that?

Because the cancer rates are down and continue to go down.

That sure is impressive, you should continue with the hard work.

We will, this new breakthrough is just the start.

Hopefully the cancer rates can go down to zero.


This is amazing, our treatment is going to do wonders

The results are great!

I predict that cancer rates will continue to go down at a steady pace

That's amazing, how did you come up with this new breakthrough treatment?

It wasn't just me, it was a lot of hard work by a lot of people

You do have a great team


We believe we have another breakthrough in the new therapies for cancer patients.

Wow that is amazing news!

I really believe it will lower cancer rates.

You're an amazing researcher.

I have a good team of scientists.

I can't wait to hear if the trials work.


Context: Addison quit smoking and drinking. Afterwards when enough time had passed she was much happier.

Wow, I feel so much better after these withdrawal symptoms passed.

You look great and I bet you feel much healthier.

I do. I have more energy and I am never out of breathe.

And you smell so much better!

True. I hate that smell on my clothes and furniture.

We should celebrate!


Quitting smoking and drinking was definitely the hardest thing I've ever done.

It was for the best, though. I'm glad you took charge of your health.

Yeah, but I wasn't too happy at the start.

It was a rough few weeks, that's true.

But now that some time has passed and I'm feeling better, I am so glad I quit.

You're going to be so much healthier now. I'm proud of you!


Smoking made me so unhappy.

I'm glad that you stopped doing it then.

I don't even have an urge to do it anymore.

That's a sign that you're doing well.


Context: When asked if Sydney at the food Sydney looked Kai in the eye and told the truth.

I could not lie to Sydney last night.

Why would you?

He looked me straight in the eye and asked me several questions.

He nust have been scary.

Not really, but I could not lie.

The truth will always prevail anyway.


I went to grab my food from the fridge earlier and it was gone!

That's awful I wonder who took it.

Well, I figured out who took it.

Who?

It was Sydney, he came up to me, looked me in the eye and told me.

I hope he replaces your food tomorrow.


I decided I would cook Sydney and I a really nice meal last weekend.

How did that go?

I burned some of it and over seasoned other parts.

What did Sydney say?

She told me the truth.

At least she was honest with you!


I made Sydney some food the other day for work.

Oh yeah, did he say thanks?

Well he ate the whole thing.

Did he enjoy it?

When he got back from work, he looked me in the eye and told me he loved it!

That's so great!


Context: Alex found a group of people looking for their runaway dog, so he provided some advice to the people.

Okay everyone calm down!

Do you have any advice on how to find our runaway dog?

If you just keep calm you'll find your pet a lot sooner.

Should we put out fliers? Our split into teams?

Yes! Do both of those things. Also call in some professionals and contact local law enforcement.

Thanks for the help!


Context: CArson was in the bathroom when it was their turn, so Taylor took Carson's turn.

You guys might have to skip me.

What's the matter Carson?

I think I need to go to the bathroom.

Okay, Taylor can take your turn.

Okay. I will be back in 5 minutes.

See you in a few minutes.


Will you go and tell them I'm just in the bathroom?

They know. They're going to have someone take your turn.

Is that allowed?

Sure, why not? I think Taylor is going to go for you.

Oh, good. Then I can just switch with him.

Exactly. The turn order really makes no difference.


Context: skylar knew kendall was hard headed, so she tilted kendall's head back to whisper the secret.

Do you think I'm hard headed?

Who said you're hard headed?

Skylar did today, she tilted my head back to whisper a secret.

I don't think Skylar knows what hard headed means.

What does it mean?

It means stubborn, but you're not stubborn.


Did you hear what Skylar said? I couldn't hear it.

I think she said that Jessica and Tyler are officially dating now.

She tilted my head back and whispered it to me but I still couldn't make it out.

I don't know why she is being so secretive about it, everybody else already knows.

I think Skylar thinks I am hard headed so maybe she wasn't sure how best to approach me about it.

That makes sense.
