سلام
باز هم با یک مطلب و یک دیالوگ دیگر در خدمت شما هستم
Intro:
There’s a saying in English, “Necessity is the
mother of invention.” It means that when you have to come up with something, you
will. In the new movie Iron Man, a skilled engineer is kidnapped by terrorists.
They want him to build them weapons. Instead he builds a suit of powerful armor
that he uses to escape.
When he gets home, he keeps improving the suit. He uses it to become a superhero. Movies like this one that are based on comic books can sometimes be wild adventures and other times not so good. But Mason loved Iron Man so much, he wishes everyone would see it so that he could talk about it nonstop.
Dialogue:
Mason: Marni, tell me if you’ve seen Iron Man yet because I can’t really stop talking about it.
Marni: I have not but I’m dying to see it!
Mason: Oh…
Marni: Do tell! No! Let’s talk about it!
Mason: So I have to give you the pitch rather than talk about it the way my heart yearns to.
Marni: Yes.
Mason: OK. So Robert Downey Jr. just hits it out of the park.
Marni: That’s so great! That’s so great wonderful for him.
Mason: It’s totally amazing. But that was kind of a no brainer for me. What kind of caught me by surprise was that Gwyneth Paltrow did a really good job with a kind of small role.
Marni: I had no idea she was even in it. Where has she been?
Mason: I think she’s been having her baby. Apple and Orange and Pear…
Marni: The fruit bowl children.
Mason: Right. So yeah, she kind of makes an appearance and does really well. What’s the guy who was in Hustle and Flow? Terrence...
Marni: Terrence Howard?
Mason: Terrence Howard’s in it.
Marni: Love him.
Mason: Really really good. So definitely excellent cast and Jon Favreau, right…
Marni: Really?
Mason: ...directed it. He really has no precedent for…
Marni: He did Elf, right?
Mason: He did Elf, which is funny, but Elf’s no huge action blockbuster, right? I don’t know who forked up the cash to him to think that he could do this…
Marni: But did he do a good job?
Mason: Does an amazing job, right?
Marni: There you go. Somebody had faith.

Hi pals,
from today, I will put some conversations in adition to the Audio files in web log
the conversations are for intermediate and upperintermediate students.
---------------------------------
Intro:
It would seem that the most natural thing to do would be to wake up at sunrise and go to bed at sunset. But if that’s the case, why does it feel so good to sleep through the entire morning?
Teenagers are famous for their love of sleeping in. But some adults really like to spend the morning in bed as well. Among them are Jason and Amanda.
Dialogue:
Amanda: Do you know what my most favorite thing to do in this world is?
Jason: What?
Amanda: Just guess. C’mon, you know me.
Jason: Uh, frisbee golf.
Amanda: Close. Sleeping in. Like high school-style. Like 12-plus hours.
Jason: Oh yeah!
Amanda: When was the last time you got to do that?
Jason: Today. I set my own hours. I woke up at noon today.
Amanda: You did not wake up at noon today.
Jason: I wake up at noon every day.
Amanda: No, you don’t!
Jason: Yeah, I do!
Amanda: How do you hold down a real job?
Jason: I work from about 1pm to 10pm, and then I go out until 2am and then I wake up at noon.
Amanda: Do you kinda feel like a vampire a little bit?
Jason: A little bit.
Amanda: When you wake up in the morning, it’s not even morning. People are going out for lunch.
Jason: Totally. But I also have the jump on people because I can send an email at two in the morning and everyone will get it at seven in the morning when they get up so it seems like I’m on top of it.
Amanda: So you’re kind of proactive, ahead of the game, or you’re lazy, right?
Jason: I do feel lazy. Whenever you get to sleep in like you do, do you feel like it’s…I don’t know, do you feel like you’ve done something bad, like a little bit of guilt?
Amanda: Yes! On the weekends I sleep in to 11 and I feel totally guilty because life’s going on without me. Breakfast, cleaning the house, people are out doing stuff and I’m in bed with the shades down. And then I wake up kind of groggy, you know? And you look at the clock and you take a shower and it’s like 2, right?
Jason: I think about it. I think about making the switch to a normal lifestyle, but every time I get into that new groove, something knocks me out of it, like a good show I can’t resist going to on a Wednesday and then next thing you know, sleeping till noon again.
Amanda: Well, you’re lucky you don’t have a 9-5 job then.
Jason: I know.
Amanda: Because that’s not gonna work.
Jason: I know. It’s like one of my main incentives to not get a real 9-5.
Amanda: Nice.
