<description><![CDATA[Slow dialogue:  1:10Explanations:  2:39Fast dialogue:  14:12Maggie:  What did you think of the book you started last week?Kurt:  Oh, I liked it well enough.Maggie:  Wow, that's a glowing recommendation.Kurt:  Well, it started off with a bang and the suspense in the first half was great.  I couldn't put it down.  Then, the pace changed in the second half and it was an effort to finish it.Maggie:  Really?  I read it a few months ago and I loved it.  I thought the characterization was really good.  I could really relate to the two main characters.  Kurt:  Yeah, that's true enough, but the plot dragged, don't you think?  The author just couldn't pull it off and the ending was laughable.Maggie:  I really liked the ending!  I can't wait for the sequel. Kurt:  Well, that makes one of us.Script by Dr. Lucy Tse<br/><br/>14 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Slow dialogue:  1:35Explanations:  3:42Fast dialogue:  14:04Becky:  I want to thank all of you for coming today.  I think we all agree that we need to organize a protest...Pedro:  Hold on, Becky.  We all want to voice our opinion that we oppose what is going on here, but I'm not sure a protest is the answer.Becky:  With all due respect, Pedro, I think a rally is the best way to do that.Pedro:  That may be, but I think we need to consider a few things first.  Taking to the streets means coordinating a lot of people.  That means getting them to show up, to march, and to hold up signs. I'm not sure we have enough time to pull it all off.Becky:  Don't get me wrong.  I'm not in favor of doing anything half-assed.  If we decide to protest, we want to do it right so that we get a lot of media coverage.  I'm confident that we have enough people and time to get it all done.Pedro:  Okay, but another thing we should be ready for is a counter protest.  The other side isn't going to take things lying down.Becky:  You're right, and we'll take that into consideration.  Is there any more discussion before we start on the planning?  No?  Okay, let's get down to business. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse<br/><br/>18 Vote(s) ]]></description>

You also have to pay exorbitant interest if you have credit card debt.Ilya:  Don't worry about it.  Everything will be fine.Chang:  I'm only speaking from experience.  When I first started working, I had a loan that I defaulted on and I ran up my credit cards.  I had to borrow money from my family and friends to pay my bills.  I was so desperate at one point, I even went to see a loan shark.Ilya:  Did he lend you money?Chang:  I decided against borrowing money from him after talking to my brother about it.  With his help, I found a good credit counselor and got my finances under control.  My two main creditors agreed to defer payment for a couple of months, but not before I sold my car and most of what I owned to raise money.  Ilya:  Maybe I can do that.Chang:  Do what?Ilya:  Work with a credit counselor so I don't have to pay my bills.Chang:  You've got it all wrong.  It took me years to pay off those bills.  I just didn't have debt collectors calling me at all hours of the day, that's all.  A little advice: A little restraint now will save you a lot of pain.Ilya:  Okay, okay.  I got the message.

Why?Wendy:  Each serving size has 30 grams of fat, and 10 of those are trans fat.  The sodium level is through the roof, and it's full of carbohydrates.

I got the low-fat kind, see?Wendy:  Even so, they're full of calories.  They may be reduced fat, but they're not low fat.  You don't eat this kind of cereal do you?Ichirou:  Yeah, I do.  Wendy:  Look at the percent daily values.  You get nearly no nutrients and no dietary fiber, and it's full of sugar.  _____________I really like Wendy, but I'm not sure how long I can take this.

This woman is 29 and she's an accountant.  She's very pretty.Kevin:  Do you think people would upload any photos that weren't flattering?  Eun:  Still, I think she's promising, don't you?  Anyway, who doesn't tell a few white lies in their dating profile?  It's not like you're misrepresenting yourself.  If you sign up for a trial membership, you'll have to do the same thing.Kevin:  Will I?  What will I need to lie about?Eun:  Nothing, nothing.  You're perfect just the way you are.

How are we ever going to pass a safety inspection?Abigail:  What do you mean?  This isn't an unsafe workplace.  We've had a good record.  None of our employees have had on-the-job injuries this year and we've never had a fatality.  I don't understand why you're so worried.Lon:  From what I've heard, the inspectors don't just look at injury rates.  They look for the smallest hazard that may be remotely dangerous.  If we get cited, we may be shut down.Abigail:  With all due respect, I don't think that's how it works.  Yes, the inspector will look at our work environment and our gear and machinery to make sure there are no hazards or toxic substances.  Lon:  That's what I'm worried about.  Abigail:  But, if they find a violation, we'll get a chance to fix the problem.  They won't shut us down without giving us a chance to comply with their safety standards.Lon:  I sure hope you're right.  Abigail:  Me, too.  We'll know after next week's inspection.

Todo esto contribuye a aprender el idioma de forma ms rpida y placentera.Para concretar y monitorear el avance de cada estudiante, al final de cada audio o texto se provee un sencillo test.

I don't expect five-star treatment, but I do expect service industry employees to be at least civil.Star:  What happened this time?Buck:  I walked in and went up to the counter to place my order.  The woman working there was talking to her friend, another customer.  I stood there, clearly needing to be waited on and she couldn't have cared less.  Star:  You mean she didn't even acknowledge you?Buck:  Are you kidding?  She didn't stop talking for one second.  When she finally took a breath, I told her my order.  She gave me a dirty look and finally turned around to get my coffee.  She practically threw it at me!Star:  Well, maybe she was having a bad day.  At least you got your coffee.Buck:  I got a cup of coffee, but not the kind I ordered.  When I realized it, I went back to the counter and she was still talking to her friend.  I interrupted her and told her that I got the wrong order.  She had the chutzpah to try to tell me that I had made a mistake in telling her my order.  Not only did she not take responsibility for her mistake, she tried to tell me that it was my fault!Star:  That's really infuriating.  What are you going to do?Buck:  One good thing about her talking with her friend for so long is that I got her name.  I'll be calling the manager to complain.Star:  Aren't you overreacting?Buck:  No, I'm not.

<description><![CDATA[Slow dialogue:  1:18Explanations:  3:25Fast dialogue:  14:20Hello, business students.  I'm here today at your professor's request to talk to you about the importance of finding your own niche in business.  Conventional wisdom says that people in business need to diversify their skill sets so that they can be the most flexible in whatever field they decide to enter.  While there is some truth to this, that's only half of the picture.  Those who diversify too much run the risk of being a jack of all trades and master of none.  Not having a focused set of skills may also be seen as indecisive from the standpoint of a potential employer, and your application may fall by the wayside as a result.  Having a niche will help you stand out in the crowd.In business, it's a balancing act between having the general skills that any company will want, and also possessing specialized skills that will make you the go-to person in your organization.  Keep this in mind and you'll go far.  Script by Dr. Lucy Tse<br/><br/>6 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Slow dialogue:  1:26Explanations:  2:58Fast dialogue:  15:09Ray:  My mother is coming for a visit, which means we need to do some spring cleaning this weekend.Debra:  I'll get the duster, if you'll get the broom.Ray:  I'm serious.  You know how nit-picky my mother is and I want our house to be neat and tidy.Debra:  Fine, fine, I understand.  You don't want her to know we live in a pigsty.Ray:  I'm not saying we live in a pigsty, but the house is a little messy and dusty.  It wouldn't hurt to straighten up a little bit, that's all.Debra:  I'm willing to pitch in, but I'm not going to spend the entire weekend slaving away to get this house spotless.  Your mother won't love you any less if you're not a neat freak.  Ray:  You don't know my mother very well.Debra:  I know her well enough.  I don't want to spoil her fun.  If she can't complain about our dirty house, what will she complain about?Script by Dr. Lucy Tse<br/><br/>16 Vote(s) ]]></description>
