Examples of English Conversations:

Between Friends

Mark: Anthony. What are you doing this evening? How about a movie?

Anthony: Which one?

Mark: There’s a good Indonesian movie at 21^st theatre.

Anthony: you know I don’t like Indonesian movies.

Mark: Oh, Come on. I’ll sure you’ll enjoy this one.

Anthony: I don’t enjoy Indonesian movies. I can’t follow the conversation fully.

Mark: So what? We’re not Indonesian. Most of us are not able to follow the

          conversation fully. But there are so many other things you can enjoy.

Anthony: That’s true.

Mark: Then why don’t you come?

Anthony: All right. I’ll be at the theatre at 7. Is that OK?

Mark: Fine. See you at 7.

Anthony: See you.

At a College

Mrs. Lala: Good morning Madam. May I come in?

Mrs. Jenny: Good morning, Mrs. Lala. Do come in and take your seat.

Mrs. Lala: Thank you, Madam. I’m thinking of leaving the college.

Mrs. Jenny: But why? Aren’t you happy here?

Mrs. Lala: Of course, I am. It’s really a pleasure working here.

Mrs. Jenny: Then what’s the matter now?

Mrs. Lala: I’ve been selected as an officer in the Reserve Bank.

Mrs. Jenny: And you want to accept that?

Mrs. Lala: I am thinking of accepting it. As you know, a bank officer gets much more

                 than a lecturer.

Mrs. Jenny: I know that. In terms of salary, it is an attractive job for you. Do you think

                   you’ll be happy working in a bank? You’re M.A in English Literature, you’ve 

                   a flair for writing and the students like your classes.

Mrs. Lala: Well, what you say is true. But…

Mrs. Jenny: I don’t want to stand in your way. But do you think you have considered

                   everything? I think you’ll do well to reconsider your decision. On your part,

                   we are very happy with your work. We’ll be sorry if you decide to leave.

Mrs. Lala: All right, Madam. I’ll think about it once again.
