Context: With their great eulogy and memorable song to honor their father, Jan struck every chord of the congregation's hearts.

He was the greatest dad ever. I am not just saying that because he was my dad. He did so much for the community.

I know. He use to clear the snow with his snowblower for the entire neighborhood.

I remember that. He also cut the grass for juice or a nice cold glass of lemonade.

He took me and my sisters to the beach every year!

I remember that!  Those were good times, I will treasure for ever.

He use to come over my house and help my mother with making the bed every Friday.


I am glad I was able to stuck every chord of the congregation's hearts.

That sounds like a hard task.

It was hard, took a lot of preparation.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your father.

I cried because of his loss and so did the congregation, its been hard for us.

I can imagine, loosing a father can be really painful specially if you were close.


Oh my, I was so nervous, I almost fainted when I was on the stage.

Don't worry, you did wonderful up there. Almost everyone in the congregation was in tears.

Thanks so much, I can use a drink, how about you?

You better believe it, follow me. I must say you sang great. I never knew you were so good.

You think so? Thanks. I've come to realize that when I'm in an emotional mood, I sing better for some reason.

Hmm, that makes sense. It's gonna be so different without your dad around.


Thanks for coming to my father's funeral yesterday. It means the world to me.

Absolutely nothing could keep me away. Your father was one of the nicest people I ever met.

I was so sad that I didn't think I could say a eulogy for him, but I let my heart do the talking.

And what a nice eulogy, everyone in the congregation loved every word you said.

I am trying to think of some other way I can honor his memory.

Your father was such a kind, generous man. As your friend, I'm wondering if maybe we can think of kind little acts to pay it forward...

I am sure that helps.


I have no idea how I did on that interview, yesterday, I was so nervous.

You were probably fine, you have wanted that job forever.

Yes, but that does not mean I aced the interview!

I should never have went to that concert, last night. Now I know,  I will do terribly on the test, today.

Didn't you study prior to going to the concert?

I did, but the extra 3 or 4 hours would have helped, I supposed.

I am sure you will be fine. You have a B, and it is the end of the semester.

Going back to the concert, was really good though. So yes, maybe everything will be fine.

Just relax beforehand and clear your mind before you go in to take the test.


I think I am going to fail the last test I took at school.

Why? Didn't you study hard for it?

Well, yes and no. I attended a concert the night before and I was really tired the following day.

What? You stayed up all night knowing that the finals was in the morning?

Yes, but he concert was only on for one night. They might never come back to our town sometimes soon.

I don't know what to say, if you don't pass the exam, it will be all on you


I think I am going to fail this test today

Why? Did you not study for it?

I did not, but I was up all night and was distracted

why were you distracted?

I was at the concert last night, now I feel so unprepared

I see. Best of luck though!


I shouldn't have stayed out so late last night, now I am so tired.

How was the concert though, did you have fun?

It was great, I had a lot of fun. But now I feel like I'm going to fail the test.

You'll do fine as long as you studied a little bit.

I don't feel like I studied enough at all, and I feel so exhausted.

Well next time you'll know better than to go to a late show the night before a big test.

I was so nervous doing the best man's speech at the wedding today.

I thought you did a great job.

Thank you. But I could have sworn I was shaking so much, that I thought the mic would fall out of my hand.

I don't think anybody at the event has noticed it.

Being the best man at a wedding kind of made me want to get married too.

Just don't make me the best man. I'm really horrible at giving speeches.


Okay, I agree. I'll do the honors to speak.

You are his best friend after all, Carson.

Greetings to you all,  welcome to the wedding of Eugene and Ashley.

Three Cheers!

Never has there been a more loving couple.

Give a Toast! Give a Toast!


My friend made me the best man at his wedding as well.  I did the honors and spoke nicely of him.

Where was the wedding?

It was on this old plantation along the lake.

Those plantations are beautiful.

Tonight's panel discussion is on the origins of the Universe.

Oh Wow, the big one. I might ask are we accepting any new theories?

Mainly just the main two narratives. The side that leans toward creation versus the side that believes in the big bang theory.

This should be a good debate.

I trust Jesse, even though I don't trust them after what happened last time.

Maybe you should tell Jesse to text you first to make sure you are home.


Hey Jesse, whats up

I thought you were busy Bailey

well I was, but then a few things got opened up

why didn't you tell me

oh I thought you were busy

you know I wanted to see you, to collect a few books I left.

I know, the modern world is so tough on small brick and mortar stores. There's not much you can do.

Not necessarily! You could always apply your newly acquired business skills to a new enterprise. Or use them to help out a larger, more stable corporation.


I had to close my store for good.

Oh I am sorry,  why?

I think it was in a bad location, no one would ever come in and look around.

Maybe you can open up again in a better place.


18 years ago I had my own store.

Really what did you sell at your store?

Knick knacks I picked up on my travels. But no-one must have wanted them because I had to close the store after the first month.

Why? What to get yourself into?

I have a car accident. I don't know if it was my fault, so I need a good lawyer.

It happened so fast. It was raining and I didn't see them crossing.

I'm sure he can help you, so give him a ring right now.

When is the plumber coming?

Next week sadly.

Grab some clothes and come shower at my apartment.


Context: Lee was riding Ash's bike home from school when Ash found them and took the bike back.

I thought I could just take Ash's bike to school because he was sick today.

Did he come and take it back from you?

Yeah, I guess he wasn't that sick so he wanted to ride it.

Maybe you should have made sure before you took it from him.

We always borrow things from each other, but he seemed mad about it.

I think you guys should talk about it, and you can apologize to him.


Context: Robin felt their oats to see if they were too wet to feed to the horses.

Let's feed the horses.

We need to check if the oats got wet from the storm.

Let me just feel them. The are a little damp, but we can feed it to them.

We need to get them so fresh water, too.


These oats are too wet to feed.

Yea let's get them dried off.

I love these horses.

It makes me feel good to take care of them.

Me too, they are beautiful.

I agree.

Hi Jess, what's up?

Hi! How was your event.

It was great. I won an award for one of my new songs.

No way. So happy for you. Shall we open that bottle of champagne?

I'd love that.


Wow, I cannot believe I won another Grammy. Whoa!

That's nine in a row. How did you do that?

I just know how to move people with my music.

You are a genius. I don't understand how you crank out this music.

Simple, I used this new app on my phone. No sweat.

Good luck! You guys sound great and deserve it.


Context: Jan felt lonely in their home all alone, so she bought a cat.

I have to show you a picture of my new baby cat.

Aww, you got a cat!

I did! He's so wonderful. I got him from a rescue. I was just so lonely all alone in my house, especially at night.

A cat was a good idea, then. Has he been keeping you company?

He has, he's always cuddling with me and very talkative too, always meowing.

He sounds like a fun kitty. I'll have to come over and meet him soon.


My cat came home with me because I didn't want to feel lonely.

Were you going to leave your cat?

My roommate said she would look after her.

Did your roommate not go home for the holidays?

She can't.  She's an international students.  There are no international flights right now.

That's right.


Meet my new cat.

Oh my goodness, she is so adorable!

Honestly I bought her because I felt so lonely.

That makes sense.

Are you thinking about getting a cat yourself?

I don't think so actually. I don't think my dog would get along with one.


I really feel alone in this house sometimes.

Are you going to try and meet someone or something?

No, I actually got a cat instead!

What a great idea! Nothing like a kitten to cheer you up!

Agreed, I love him already!


I am feeling lonely in my home all alone.

I am sorry to hear that.

So I bought a cat.

What have you name it?


Context: Jesse was taking the scenic route home from work and thought he knew the way. He was taking a long time to get home.

Are you lost?


Today. Isort of got lost while driving

Was it after work?

Yeah I took a scenic route, but made a wrong turn somewhere

Oh that is no fun, did you make it home?

At least you got to enjoy the scenic route!


Yesterday, I got lost as I was going home

How could you get lost in a place you know?

I took a route that has a beautiful scenery, you know the park area?

Yes I know the place, its beautiful

Yeah! so I didn't know how to get out of there

Well, next time take routes that you are familiar with


Context: Remy obtained an education for Quinn so that he could work in the field of his choice.

Remy paid for all of my school fees. He's such a good person.

That's so great; you must feel so grateful.

I really do. I hope one day to be able to repay him.

I think, you getting your dream job will make him happy.

Probably, but I still hope to pay him back in other ways.

You will, your a good person too.


I'm so grateful for Remy. If not for her I would not have this awesome job in my favorite field.

What exactly did she do for you?

She paid for my all tuition. I had no money and was contemplating just getting a full time job after high school.

She must have really recognized your potential.

I suppose so. And now I'm doing what I love and getting paid for it.

You should buy her a nice present as a thank you.


Remy is educated and makes the money.  That frees me up to do something I enjoy.

How long have you two been married?

A little over two years.  He's so supportive of me.

That's so important that he's supportive of your endeavors.

He told me not to worry about the money, to just follow my heart.

He's the breadwinner.


I will be leaving to start classes soon.

So classes are starting already.

Yes the upcoming semester is just a few days away.

When did you decide to go back to college.

Remy offered to pay for my classes and is going to hire me after I graduate.

That sounds like a really good deal, good luck in school.

I wanted my hair to be bright blue.

But it's still black.

Yeah, the hair dresser told me that the natural color needs to b remove first.

Oh

Yeah, am going there tomorrow.

I am exciting to see the new hair color.


Have you ever tried to bleach or color your hair?

I haven't because I am too scared of messing it up.

I spent so much money and time trying to bleach my hair so I could color it blue.

I see it is back to your original color, what happened?

It did not work out and I paid $200 for it

That is exactly why I have never tried!


We are going to strip the color from your hair first.

What for?

Well we need a uniform color for the band. I chose bright blue.

I don't want bright blue hair.

If you want to be in the band, then you will have bright blue hair.

I'd rather concentrate on the music than the hair.


In order for us to get our hair blue, at first we must strip the natural color out of our hair first.

How hard will that be?

It is easy.  We just need to buy the chemicals from Sally Beauty Supply.

I am somewhat scared to put all of those chemicals in my hair.

It is safe.  Don't worry about it.

If you say so, Alex.


I'm going to the hair salon today to get my hair dyed.

Are you getting the blue color, like you said?

Yes, I can't wait, I just have to get it bleached first.

I am not keen on getting my hair bleached it hurts.

Same, hopefully it won't be that bad this time.

I can't wait to see te new color.


Context: Austin called Casey's dad to let him know Casey was doing bad and had no job.

I can't believe you told my dad about me!

I only did it because I was worried. He's got a lot of good ideas for jobs!

It was still bad. What did he say? Was he upset?

No, he gave me this list of people for you to call. They all have businesses.

Well I probably wouldn't have asked him, but please let me see the list.

Try these people. I didn't want to get you in trouble but I really wanted to help.


Context: Jordan wanted to go out to dinner, but left his wallet at home.

Oh, no. I forgot something. We need to head back.

That's pretty important for paying for meals.

Could you stop giving me a hard time.

Alright, lets head back for it.


I don't feel like going home and cooking. Do you want to go somewhere for dinner?

Sure, you pick it.

How about that new place on Division Street?

Good idea! I've heard they have great pizza!

Oops, never mind. I stupidly left the house without my wallet this morning.

Don't worry about it! You can pay me back.

Are you sure, you don't mind?

Yeah, it's totally fine.

I will pay you back as soon as possible.

Okay, cool!

Well that's cool, except you need to sleep and eat!

I know, but I just get lost in the game, that I forget to eat and I am not even tired.

You are going to crash one day!


It is true what they say about video games.

What do they say about video games?

I was playing video games for days on end, and even forgot to eat or sleep.

You are addicted to video games.


I think I have a problem.

What's happened?

I am addicted to the video game, and it is out of control.

You need to stop playing the game and go outside for a bit.

you are right, I have not eaten or even slept in days.

If you need help I am here.

Yeah, it was great what color are your eyes hazel green or plain green?

Plain bright green, what happened n the game?

Right.  Its so cool and profound

Yep exactly.

Alright you got this one it's black.

I am going to introduce you to my friend Ash because I think he will be able to help you.

I don't know if I want to talk to him about my girlfriend cheating on me, it's embarrassing.

The same thing happened to me with Leila when I found out she went out with somebody else and Ash gave me some good advice.

He didn't tell anyone else about it?

He never tells other people what we talk about, that's why I always confide in him when I have a problem and he always has good advice.

I guess I could try, he sounds like a nice guy.


Context: Bailey didn't get what they wanted and through a tantrum in the store. Bailey made a spectacle of themselves.

So I threw a tantrum in the store.

And she still didn't buy you the dress?

Can you believe it. What does this mean?

It means your Mom's onto the whole tantrum scheme.


I had a tantrum in the store. I was yelling because my mom would not buy me a balloon.

That's not nice. If your mother didn't want to buy it, maybe she had a good reason.

No she is just cheap. It only cost $1.

Well, you should still listen to your mother and not get so angry.


Give me the candy bar!

No! Stop being such a little brat!

I will throw these eggs on the ground if I do not get it!

Would you stop it Bailey, please! You are embarrassing!

Not until I get my candy bar!

You will never get that candy bar if you keep acting like this!

I recently brought baseball gears for my kids.

How nice of you. Are they learning how to play baseball?

Yes. They've been watching a lot of baseball on TV lately, and ask if I can teach them about it.

That's sweet of you. Nice to see how supportive you are to your kids.

I just want to be a good parent to them.

That is a wonderful thing.


I don't want my kids to have the life I had.

You are good dad to them and very supportive of everything they do.

I do not want them to feel like they are not important, like my father did to me.

You coach their teams, read to them, talk to them, you are a great dad.

I want them to know they are my everything.

They know that you love them, by all the things you provide them.


I am really sad to see the kids go to away to college but I am okay with it.

But Robin, moving to Moscow for school is ridiculous.

I know. I tried to convince them that they can learn Russian history at home.

That's a little crazy. Harvard has a fantastic Russian history program.

But they wanted a real experience from Russians at home.

Understood. You are really a great mom by letting them move to Moscow.


Context: Skylar asked Ash if it would be cool to go to the movies this coming Friday.

I'm a little busy this week. I'll see if I can go.

You need to take more breaks. You're working too much.

I know, but I'm making a lot of money.

Whatever. How much money do you really need?


What are you doing on Friday?

I don't think I'm doing anything, but I'm not sure.

If you're not doing anything, do you wanna go watch a movie?

That would be great, I've been looking forward to watching a movie for months now.

Skylar asked me so I'm looking for others to come.

Well that's awesome I'm gonna make sure that I can make it so we all can hang out in a huge group.


Hey Skylar, do you have any plans for this weekend?

Not really. I might have a bbq this weekend.

That would be cool. Do you want to go to a movie on Friday?

Oh... ya, that would be cool. What do you want to watch?

I'm not sure, maybe the latest Bourne movie?

Ya that sounds good.

No, so I had to hold it up for her!

I'm glad you did


I really want to go on this field trip and see the animals

I really love monkeys but tigers are my favourite

I like the meerkats too they are the cutest animals there

Hopefully we can see some hippos too


Context: Sasha had never had pudding before but loved sweets. Sasha knew she would like pudding.

How did I miss having such a delicious dessert all these years. I can get this stuff all day.

Really, were you ever a child? We had pudding for lunch all the time.

No, my mom thought it was not healthy and she absolutely hated Bill Cosby.

Make sense but her dislikes should not be your dislikes. Just indulge!!

I am. I just loaded up on a variety of pudding flavours to catch up all the tasty delicious treats I missed out on.

Okay, now that is a little obsessive.


Context: Tracy pressed upon Austin accidentally in the elevator and had to make an apology about this accident.

I accidentally pressed against Austin in the elevator.  I was so embarrassed.  I apologized for this accident.

I am sure he's fine with it.

He's so chill.  That's why he's one of my best friends.

I can't get over how you guys work in the same company and went to college together.

I've known him since elementary school.  He used to live two houses down from me.

He's like your little brother.


I had an awkward moment in the elevator today. It was so crowded that I accidentally bumped up against somebody.

Yikes, that's uncomfortable. Did you apologize?

Yes, but the person I bumped into was Austin.

Isn't Austin the name of a co-worker of yours?

Yeah, which makes it doubly awkward.


Context: Tracy tried exercising at home. It was hard to discipline themselves.

I am trying to exercise at home instead of going to the gym.

That is even harder. I can't do that I tend to get lazy

Yes it is kind of hard to discipline myself, especially when my exerciser is right next to my couch.

That couch sure to be very inviting, right?

Yes it is. That's why I put some exercising music on, so I can get motivated

I'm sure that helps a lot. A good beat should get you going.


I cant keep to a good routine

I know its tough to stick to a good exercise plan

especially at home

I can help you out with a few pointers if you like

I really would, I want to be serious about this

Well then, want me to come over this Saturday, I can bring some stuff


I'm starting to exercise at home.

How is it going so far?

It's been really hard.

Why is that?

It's hard to be disciplined when my tv and fridge are so close by when I'm working out.

It's even more difficult to exercise at my gym since there're fast food restaurants all around it.


Context: Quinn spent many years studying. Finally it became graduation time for him.

I can't believe I'm finally graduating!

I am looking forward to a brighter future.

Congratulation to us friend.

Context: Lee wanted to play a prank on his friend Quinn, wanting to scare Quinn to death.

I have got a prank to really scare Quinn.

What are you going to do?

I am going to sneak into their house and hide in Quinn's closet.

That sounds a little overboard.

That's not all of it.  I'll have on a scary Halloween mask, and when Quinn opens the door, I'll jump out.

I wouldn't call that a prank; that could literally scare them to death.


I had such a good laugh today.

What was so funny?

I played a prank on Quinn.

What did you do?

I dressed up in a scary costume and screamed at him when he wasn't looking. He was so frightened.

You're so hilarious.


I want to prank Quinn. Any ideas on what can give him a good scare?

You should dress as a ghost and hide behind the door.

Quinn may not fall for that. Scaring him to death is my aim.

What are some of his fears?


Context: Austin spent the whole day creating a cake. Austin told Cameron he made it from scratch.

I made the most amazing chocolate cake from scratch for Cameron.

Sounds delicious.  Did you tell Cameron you'd made it from scratch?

I did, and he really appreciated it.

I don't supposed there's any left? I'd love to have a piece.

Sorry, Cameron and I ate the whole thing.

Save a piece for me next time!


Today is my girlfriend birthday.

That is great, what are you doing for her?

I made her a cake.

That is amazing! I did not even know you can bake.

I searched for a recipe, made it from scratch

That is a good thing, I am sure she will be very impressed.


I spend about eight hours trying to make a cake from scratch, and there was a knock at the door

What is it you're baking?

A cake. I spent eight hours trying to get it together.

Why did it take so long?

It was my first time and I was trying to make it from scratch.

I'm sure it will be very good.


The cake is finally finished! What do you think?

It looks beautiful! If I didn't know any better I'd think a professional baked it.

I made it from scratch too.

If it tastes as good as it looks, we're in for a treat!

There are a lot of issues going on that makes it hard for Quinn to live

oh yeah? What seems to be the problem?

Well for starters her vitals are terrible

Oh yeah that is important

Yeah Quinn just could not make it

Yeah she was a real trooper


Context: Kai hired a chef to cook for the party so she could spend time with guests.

I'm having a big party this weekend.

Cool, but isn't that a lot of work?

Yeah, that's why I hired a chef, so I can spend time with my guests.

Guess I will be seeing more of you at this party!

Yes, you will!

I can't wait!


I'm not going to be cooking for the party this time.

What is everybody going to eat if you're not cooking for us?

I hired a chef to cook for the party so I could socialize and spend time with all of the guests.

That makes sense. That's good delegating!


I hired a chef to cook for the party.

Why did you do that Kai? You're a good cook.

Well, I want to spend more time with my guest.

Ohh, will  there be some important guest?

Yes, some of them are my friends that I did not see for a long time.

Then you should really take your time Kai.


I finally decided to hire a chef.

I thought you loved cooking?

I do, but I want to spend more time with the guests.

That's great. Whatever makes you happy.


Context: Skylar was making Jordan feel uncomfortable, so Jordan pushed themselves away from Skylar.

So how many guys have you dated?

What? I don't want to answer that.

Why not? It's not a big deal of a question.

Actually I find the question to be quite intrusive.

I think you are being too sensitive.

I'm going to walk away from this conversation right now.


I was only telling Jordan the truth. I didn't mean to make him feel uncomfortable.

You know that is a sore subject for Jordan.

I know but he needed to hear the truth from a friend.

The way he pushed away from you was frightening.

I hope Jordan is ok. It was said with love.

Give him a day or so to cool off before you approach him again.

I would go get more but I can't leave the house because of the storm.

I can bring you one tomorrow if you don't make it to the store.

That would be awesome!

I'll touch base tomorrow to see if you still need the bulb.


My house is so creepy right now!

Why is your house creepy?

I only have one working light! I need to go to the store to get bulbs but I can't because of the storm.

That's a great idea. I'll put on a raincoat and walk over.

Okay, call me as soon as you get back!

I fought him but I handled him with kid gloves.

Oh wow.


Context: cameron did not want to knock the boy out so he handled him with kid gloves.

Sometimes you gotta hold back.

I agree.

Yeah, I didn't want to knock the boy out so I took care of him with kid gloves.

What are kid gloves?


You are lucky I don't fee like slugging you today

why is that ?

I am putting on my kid gloves so the impact of hits are soften

wow you are so kind

So this means that any sort of punch I throw at you will hardly be felt

I sure am lucky


I figured if I used regular gloves I would have knocked him out cold.

Is that why you used smaller kid sized gloves?

Yeah, and I am glad I did not hurt him that much but it was still a bad fight for him.

I mean he wanted to fight you so that is on him.

Maybe I should not have taken it so easy on him though.

If you didn't take it easy, you would have just beaten him quick and he would not get any time to learn.


Context: Remy searched all over the house for her precious toy, but couldn't find it.

I lost my favourite toy.

Have you seen my doll with the pink tiara, I can't find her.

No I haven't seen her, did you look in your toy box?

Of course, I have searched every room of this house and I can't find her.

Let me help you, where was the last place you've seen her?

When we were coming home from grandmas.

Ah ha, let's go look in the car!


I am disappointed because I could not find my precious toy.

Where did you last play with it?

I was at the backyard then.

Did you look there then?

That is the first place I looked at but it is not there.

Don't worry, it should just be around the house.

I really love shopping with companies that help others.


Good job everyone, we closed the deal on that new client, the biggest deal yet for our company.

Hey that's fantastic news, we've been working on that contract for months now.

I think people are just comfortable around me.

We saw sleeping pills on the table but decided not to take them.

You made the right decision.


I am so thrilled to see you! I don't think I am able to sleep tonight.

Me too! Maybe we can just stay up all night and catch up.

That's a great idea! But I think I'm getting tired.

Do you see that bottle of sleeping pills on top of the table?

Maybe they'll help us wind down and relax so we can get some rest.

I'm sure it will. Let's take one each right now, and say good night


Context: Ash never had a lighter, so Ash borrowed one from me.

Hey, thanks for letting me borrow your lighter. I never needed a lighter until today.

No problem. Did you like the medical marijuana we smoked?

For sure! I've only eaten edibles until now. I really liked the smoke, but I think I should stick to edibles.

I think I like edibles better, too. Some candy bars are really good!

Yeah, my favourite is chocolate. I wish I had some edibles right now.

Well, come on over! I have candy bars, gummies, and an infused pasta sauce.


Do you know who I borrowed this lighter from?

It was a blonde girl. I think her name is Kim.

Oh, okay. I wanted to return it. I never have one on me.

I think she works again tomorrow night if you stop by the bar.

Okay, cool. She was pretty cute. Maybe I'll chat her up a bit.

I'm pretty sure she has a boyfriend, but you can try.


Context: Bailey attracted students' interest by offering free tutoring services at first and then charging for them after.

I don't see anything wrong with my business model.

You're honestly telling me that you think what you do on campus is fine?

Yes, I offer a great service by tutoring for free!

But it's dishonest to say it's free when you ask the students to pay you after the fact.

It's their choice to tip me or not. Don't you understand?

I don't think the students would agree with that.


I'm going to give out free tutoring.

that is great! But you will charge after, right?

Yea just for the first and make money after.

That's good so they can see.

Exactly it's marketing.

That's what we do!


I am offering my services on the area and is being really good.

Really, what are you doing?

I am offering free tutoring services!

Oh wow! How does it work?

I attract student's by offering them free tutoring services and after a short time I start to charge them for the service.

Oh nice that's a cool idea and nice for the students!


Context: Carson was struggling to make end's meet while they studied to become a doctor so Riley met Carson's expenses.

Carson has been really struggling lately.

Does she not have enough money or something?

Yeah, she's trying to work but school is so demanding, so I decided to cover her rent.

That is really nice of you, can you handle it?

Oh yeah, it isn't that big of a deal and I am happy to help.

That is really awesome Riley.


I helped Carson pay off some of his bills. He's struggling to make end's meet while he studied to become a doctor.

He'll be making the big bucks when he gets out.

Maybe.  He has a lot of loans to repay.

The debt is harsh.

He's so in debt.  He says he doesn't think he could pay it off in thirty years.

That sounds like a lot


I know you have been struggling financially.

Is it that obvious?

Well when you are eating ramen for every meal.

I just can't keep up with the expenses, I'm struggling.

Well let me pay for everything around the house so you can save up some money and get back on track.

I can't believe it, you are a real hero.


Context: Taylor pressed Skylar's hands on the table to make an impression in the clay for Taylor's latest art project.

This is what Skylar made for his dad for father's day.

His hand prints? That is so cute. Where did he do it?

His kindergarten class had parents come into their art class to help make them.

Why did they need the parents come in to do it?

It required adults to press the kid's hands into the clay on the table to get the imprint deep enough.

Oh, okay. A lot of physical interaction so parents would be necessary.


You should have seen Skylar's face today during art!

Ha, I can only imagine, what did you do this time?

I needed a hand impression for my clay art project!

So you took her hands and pressed them into the clay?

That I did, she did not like the feel of it one bit.

Well, I wouldn't either haha!


I just made a new art project using Taylor's hand. I made an impression in the clay with her hand.

That sounds really interesting. What are you going to do with it?

It's going to represent the work of the common worker. Showing hands of many.

Could I be a part of it?

Sure. Come over tomorrow and I will use your hand too.


Context: Riley went rock climbing without safety equipment, fell and suffered greatly as a result.

That fall almost killed me.  I will never do that again.

What did you do? What happened?

I was climbing a rock wall and didn't have my safety equipment on.  I fell and got hurt pretty badly.  My back really hurts.

Damn, why did you not wear your safety equipment.  You should have known better than that.

I wasn't thinking.  I thought that I would be okay.

Never do that again!  You are a nut!  Safety first.


I'm recovering from my injuries.

How did you get injured?

I went rock climbing and fell.

Did you wear safety equipment?

I didn't wear safety equipment. That's why my injuries were significant.

I hope you'll get well soon.


That was a brutal fall.  I could have killed myself.

Well, you are not dead.  What happened to you?

My friend, Alex, and I went rock climbing without safety equipment.  I was right behind him.  Then I lost my grasp on the rock and fell.

How far did you fall?

Too far.  It must have been 20 feet.  Luckily I landed on a grassy patch below.  There was a little crater where my body hit the earth.

That sounds bad.


Context: Making too much racket, Kendall gave Skylar a headache with the noise.

I've been having some difficulties dealing with my upstairs neighbour the past few weeks.

I can relate. I know exactly how hard it can be.

They have been causing a racket for hours. And the noise was really loud too.

If you're this upset about it, it must have been really bad.

I felt the noise reverberating in my ears and got a headache. It sounds like he's constantly throwing incredibly heavy metal objects against the wall.

I never imagined it would be that bad. But if it continues you might need to intervene.


Could you quiet it down, Kendall.

What's your problem?

You're giving me a headache with all that racket.

I have to practice my cheerleading.

In the house?  Go outside.

It's raining and this is the only place with room to do my flips along with my cheers.


Cant you take a break from practicing the drums

No Sky, I got a gig coming up I gotta be perfect

You're giving me the biggest headache

Go for a walk then I need to practice

This place is mine too and you've been doing it for hours

Fine ill go get some lunch


Context: When Addison finished the test early, she made sure of her answers before turning it in.

I just handed in my test one hour early.

Why the rush?

I just found the questions very easy. I even made sure to double-check my answers before submitting it.

Sounds like you prepared well for that one.

I spent all week studying for that test.

I know you will ace it.


I finished my test early because I studied a lot for the exam.

Are you sure you answered all the questions correctly?

I reviewed all the answer again before turning it in.

You'll probably ace that test. When do you find out your grade?

I really hope so. And I find out on Monday.


That was such an easy test.

I feel like I flunked it.

Well I studied for a month.

I just studied the night before.

When I study for a long time, it makes the test so easy!

I need to take your advice!


Context: Riley is a supervisor of Jesse, and is charged with making sure merchandise is not damaged.

Riley has been watching me like a hawk today.

Me too, she is taking the job too seriously.

It's not like if anything breaks it comes out of her pay checks.

That's a great point, I didn't think of that.

Hopefully after this week, things will get back to normal.

I hope so, because things are getting pretty weird right now.


Riley has been breathing down my neck lately.

What do you mean?

He's in charge of the merchandise, so he's very strict with how we handle it to make sure nothing gets damaged.

Riley has a lot of responsibility now. You should cut him some slack.


Context: Jesse took a flight across the country to go visit their long distance girlfriend over the holidays.

I flew out to see my girlfriend for the holidays.

Does she live far away?

Yeah, it was a five hour flight.  But it was worth it.

You had a good time with her?

It was awesome!  I missed her so much.

Long distance relationships can be tricky.  I'm glad yours is working out.


Context: Jordan left their father's special tie at the dance and couldn't find it when he went back to look.

My dad is going to kill me! I left the tie that grandpa gave him at the dance.

You can ask on Monday if they found it or have your mom call Mr. Jones.

I hadn't thought of that.

They have that lost and found box up at the office.


Man my dad is going to kill me.

Why what happen?

I lost my dad special tie, I think back at the dance but it wasn't there when I went back for it.

Man that really sucks, what does it look like I'll keep an eye out


I'm going to be in huge trouble with my dad.

What exactly did you do?

I lost a tie at the dance this weekend.

Hopefully someone found it and turned it in.

That's what I'm hoping for, if not I'll have to buy a new one.

You'll have to wait until Monday to find out.


Context: Jordan was shout to take the most important test of his life but he remained calm.

I'm doing deep breathing techniques to stay calm for the exam.

I'm glad. Don't worry.

It's the most important test of my life. I am doing everything I can to stay calm.

You will do well.

I hope so. I am prepared.

Then you are right to just try to stay calm and focus on the test.


Context: Sasha was in the mood for a treat, so Sasha took the ice cream out of the freezer.

I really want some ice cream, do you want any?

Yeah sure, what kind is it?

It is chocolate chip cookie dough.

Oh that is my absolute favourite, can I get a big bowl for it?

Sure, we need to clear room out of my freezer anyway.

Awesome, I love ice cream and I am glad you had some.
