M: Not a bad party last night. Lots of old faces from college were there.
W: Really?
M: Yeah. Sally was there with her husband. I've heard he's something very high up and important in some business company.
W: Yes, I’ve heard that, too. To tell you the truth, I never really expected her to marry anyone successful. She was always untidy, and didn't like to work.
M: Obviously, she's changed her attitude to life. I mean, she was very smartly dressed, and she kept telling me all about how much money their new house had cost.
W: Seriously?
M: Yes, she was really proud of it.
W: Well, she never used to be interested in money at all.
M: By the way, Simon Fox was at the party.
W: Was he? I haven't seen him for ages.
M: Naturally, he couldn't stop asking me questions about you.
W: I think he still thinks that we might get back together one day.
M: Exactly.
W: Well, not much chance of that.

W: Excuse me. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
M: No, I guess not.
W: Great! This is for a student council report; we want to find out what students think of the campus food service. First, how often do you eat in the cafeteria?
M: Almost every day.
W: What's your general impression of the food here?
M: Well, people complain a lot, but basically I think it's OK. The vegetables are usually overcooked, but I mean they have to feed hundreds of people here. You are not going to get something freshly prepared just for you.
W: If I just put down generally satisfactory, is that OK?
M: Sure.
W: So you think the other things, like soup and dessert are okay?
M: Yeah, that's about right.
W: Is there anything you'd like to change about the cafeteria?
M: Yes，the hours. Sometimes it's a real rush for me to get back here before 6:30.
