(3) meet old friends again
Many people shake hands when they meet after a long time.

No, I was in California last month.

Nice to see you again. Did you change your job?
No, I have been visiting relatives.

No, I went on holiday.
A: Oh? Where have you been?
B: Palm Springs. I have a cousin there.
4. Hello, stranger! Did you move or something?
No, I went to California for a few weeks.
Oh, really? Where have you been?
B: Los Angeles. I live with my brother.
(4) farewell
When you are far away from friends and family, you can keep in touch with them through letters, postcards, text messages or telephone calls.
1. A: I've come to say goodbye.
B: When are you leaving?
I will fly home on Sunday afternoon.
All right, bye. See you later.
Please don't forget to say goodbye to your family for me.
2. A: I want to say goodbye to everyone.
B: When are you going?
A: My plane takes off at 7: 25.
b； Well, goodbye and have a nice trip!
A: Goodbye. If you come to Washington, remember to look me up.
3.a； I'm calling to say goodbye.
B: When are you leaving?
A: I want to catch the train at 1 1.
B: Take care and don't forget to keep in touch.
A: Goodbye. Thank you again for everything.
I just dropped by to say goodbye.
B: When are you leaving?
A: I'll try to leave before 10:00.
Take care and give my regards to your parents.
A: Goodbye. Hope to see you again next year.
(5) Say thank you.
When someone invites you to dinner, you can bring flowers, candy or a bottle of wine. Sometimes, people will send a thank-you letter to the host or hostess a few days after the event.
1. A: I'd better go.
So soon? Why don't you stay a little longer?
I wish I could go, but it's already late.
Oh, I'm sorry you're leaving.
A: Thank you for a wonderful meal.
I'm glad you like it.
I really have to go now.
B: But you just got here. Can't you stay a little longer?
It's very kind of you, but I really can't go.
Oh, it's a pity that you have to leave.
I really appreciate it． This is a great party!
B: It's our pleasure.
I think we should go.
B: What? Already? Won't you have some more coffee?
I'd love to, but I have to get up early tomorrow.
B: Oh! I'm sorry. I hope you can stay.
Thank you for a very enjoyable evening.
You're welcome. I hope you can come again soon.
I really should go.
Oh, not yet! At least have a drink on the way.
No, thank you anyway.
Well, I'm sorry you have to leave so early.
A: Thank you very much. We really had a good time.
Well, thanks for coming.
(6) Ask people to repeat.
As long as you ask politely, most people won't mind repeating what you didn't hear or understand.
1. Sorry, I didn't catch what you said.
B: I said, "Do you want me to help you?"
If you are sure you are not in a hurry, I can ask you a small favor.
B: Shall I call a taxi for you?
A: Please say it again.
I said, "Do you need help?"
A: That's very kind of you. I think I need some help.
Tell me what you want me to do.
3. What's that?
B: I said, "Is there anything I can do?"
I'd like some help, if it's not too much trouble.
B: It's no trouble at all. I'll take this suitcase for you.
4. A: Excuse me. I didn't hear what you said.
I asked you if you needed any help.
If you don't mind, I can use one hand.
B: Let me help you with this bag.
(7) Ask for help
Politeness is very important when you ask for something. The tone you use when you make a request is as important as what you actually say. When you think someone will refuse your request, you can ask this question in this way, so that refusal will not cause embarrassment.
1. May I borrow your typewriter?
B: How long?
Until this weekend.
Yes, I think that's no problem.
Do you mind if I borrow your car?
Well, when exactly?
A: Until next Monday or Tuesday.
I'm sorry, but this is impossible.
Can you lend me some of your records?
Until when?
Oh, during the holiday.
I'm not sure. I have to think about it.
I wonder if you would like to let me stay with you for a few days.
B: It really depends on when.
Until next weekend, if possible.
Let me think about it and I'll tell you later.
(8). Give praise
Friends often praise each other's clothes, especially new ones.
1. What a beautiful sweater!
Do you think it looks good on me?
Yes, it goes well with your pants.
You won't believe it, but it's really cheap.
I wish I could find one like it.
I like your new coat.
Do you think it's suitable?
A: Yes. It looks great!
B: I bought it at half price.
You are lucky to find it.
A: That's a very nice jacket.
B: Does it really look ok?
Yes, I like this color too. It matches your hat.
B: I bought it on sale.
A: it's incredible!
I like that shirt.
Do you really like it?
Yes, it fits perfectly.
B: It's not very expensive.
A: It's amazing! It looks really expensive.
9). Apologize.
Sometimes it is necessary to tell someone bad news gently.
1. I'm afraid I spilled coffee on the tablecloth
Oh, don't worry.
I want to apologize. Is there anything I can do?
Forget it. I don't like it anyway.
I'm very sorry, I seem to have misplaced your scarf.
Oh, that's all right.
A: I'm terribly sorry. Can I get you another one?
No. Forget it. It doesn't matter.
Sorry, I can't find the book you lent me.
B: That's all right.
I'm really sorry. Let me buy you a new one.
No. Don't be silly. I will never let you do that.
I'm sorry, I just broke your ashtray.
There is nothing to worry about.
A: I don't know what to say I want to replace it.
No, it's impossible.
(10). Complain.
It's a good idea to be as polite as possible even when complaining about something.
1. I wish you wouldn't turn on the TV so loudly.
B: Sorry. Where do you want to sleep?
Yes, I remember. If you want to borrow my record, please ask first.
B: Sorry. You're right. I should have asked.
Do you think you can keep your voice down?
B: Sorry. Did I keep you awake?
A: Yes. One more thing, please don't make long distance calls.
B: Sorry. I thought you wouldn't mind.
A: The radio is too loud. Can you turn it down?
B: Sorry. Am I disturbing you?
A: Yes. One more thing, please don't borrow my clothes without asking.
B: Sorry. I don't think I was thinking. I won't do it again.
You don't need to play the record so loudly, do you?
B: Sorry. Has it been bothering you?
A: Yes. Next time you want to use something, please let me know.
B: Sorry. I want to ask you.
(1 1). Weather
A very common way to start a conversation is to talk about the weather. When you travel, remember that the climate in America changes a lot.
1. A: Nice weather, isn't it?
Yes, it's nothing like what the radio said.
I hope it will be like this all weekend.
B: As long as it doesn't snow!
2. A: It seems that it will clear up.
This is a good change.
I really don't think this weather will last.
Let's just hope it won't get cold again.
It looks like it will be sunny.
Yes, much better than yesterday.
They said it would rain later.
Oh, let's just hope the weather stays warm.
I think it will be fine today.
B: This is definitely a great improvement over yesterday.
A: But it will be cloudy and windy again this afternoon.
Well, the worst of winter should have passed.
(12). Change is required.
Sometimes it is difficult to find change without shopping, so it is a good idea to carry it with you. If you need change, you can buy something inexpensive, such as candy or newspaper, and then ask for the coins you need.
1. Excuse me, can you give me some change?
Let me see. How about a dime and a quarter?
A: I want to make a long distance call.
B: Then you need small change.
Sorry to bother you, do you have change for one yuan?
B: I have to see it. What do you want it for?
A: I need it to set the parking meter.
B: I can give you 25 cents if it helps.
Excuse me, but I wonder if you can break a yuan.
Let me see. What do you need?
A: I need change for the stamp machine.
I think 1 dime and quarter will do.
4.a: excuse me, can you give me change for a dollar?
B: Let me see what we have. What do you want it for?
A: I want to buy cigarettes.
B: You can use quarters, 10 cents and 5 cents.
(13). Call (1)
