1Listen All  |   Person A  |   Person BA:

"Hey Jason. What are you doing this Friday?"

B: "I'm going to go to the driving range because I'm playing golf on Saturday."

A: "You're golfing without me? What's up with that?"

B: "Sorry man, but we already have a foursome. I'm going with a couple of guys from work."

A: "Where are you playing?"

B: "Washington National. Have you been there yet?"

A: "I've been there a couple of times. It's a great course. You know the Huskies play there right?"

B: "I didn't know that. Is it a hard course?"

A: "It's pretty challenging. But it all depends on which tee you play from."

B: "What are you shooting these days?"

A: "I'm still hovering around a bogey game."

B: "Still better than me. I'm still trying to hit a bogey game. Do you want to hit the driving range with me?"

A: "I can't this Friday. I'm playing basketball with the guys that night."

B: "At night?"

A: "Yeah. We're playing indoors at a school gymnasium."

B: "What's the occasion?"

A: "Just a small league I play on. Nothing special."

B: "I'm too short to play basketball."

A: "You're not that short. Plus, we have a couple of guys who are the same height as you. They're awesome players."

B: "I never got into basketball. It's fun and all, but maybe I'm just not good at it."

A: "It's still great exercise. I get a better workout from basketball than I do from the treadmill."

B: "That's true."

2 Listen All  |   Person A  |   Person BA: "What do you think about Matt's new girlfriend?"

B: "Samantha? She's pretty hot. I can't believe she fell for Matt."

A: "I don't seem to have much luck with girls."

B: "Why do you think that is?"

A: "I say the stupidest things around girls. I don't know why I do that?"

B: "It's because you're nervous. Best thing to do is not say a word until you know it's not stupid."

A: "It doesn't work that way. I stop thinking around pretty girls."

B: "I know. You got to date a girl who isn't that pretty then."

A: "What's the story of your love life these days?"

B: "It's only been a couple of months that I broke up with Sarah. But I think it's about time to start hunting again."

A: "Who's your type?"

B: "Anybody with a nice body and a pretty face."

A: "How about their personality or their character?"

B: "I'm not thinking about marriage, so those things don't matter."

A: "You're so shallow."

3 Listen All  |   Person A  |   Person BA: "So Mark. What is your favorite hobby?"

B: "Probably sports."

A: "Anything specific? Or just sports in general."

B: "Most sports. I like basketball, football, baseball, golf, tennis, so I guess most sports."

A: "I like tennis. Did you play for your high school team?"

B: "Yeah. I played on the varsity team starting from my sophomore year. How about you?"

A: "I played my junior and senior year."

B: "What other sports did you play?"

A: "I played volleyball. I would have to say volleyball is my favorite."

B: "What position did you play?"

A: "I was the outside hitter."

B: "That's so cool. I didn't know you were athletic."

A: "I don't know if I would consider myself athletic, but I have fun playing."

B: "I play on a co-ed volleyball team every Tuesday. We're always looking for more girls to play on our team. Would you be interested?"

A: "Yeah. It sounds fun. Just call me anytime you need a player."

B: "That's great. Since we are on the topic of sports, what sport do you like to watch on television?"

A: "I never got into watching sports on TV. So I really don't know."

B: "Not even the Super bowl?"

A: "Only when the group of people I'm with is watching it. I just never had interest in TV that much."

B: "Well, I like following the Mariners. They're pretty good."

A: "I like to go watch them play. It's fun when you are actually there."

B: "A bunch of us are going to watch them play this June. Do you want to join us?"

A: "Yeah. I'll go. I like the new stadium. It's pretty cool."

B: "Ok. I'll make sure to get you a ticket as well."

4 Listen All  |   Person A  |   Person BA: "What did Mike get you for your birthday Pam?"

B: "He got me a watch. See."

A: "That's beautiful. He must have spent a fortune on it."

B: "He's so great. I think he might propose pretty soon."

A: "How do you know? Did he give you any clues?"

B: "He took me to a jewelry store and asked me what type of rings I like. It was a little obvious, but at least I got to pick the one I wanted."

A: "That's not so romantic?"

B: "He was never romantic. Silly and cute, but not romantic. I like all his quirkiness. He always makes me laugh."

A: "I guess you can't ask for much more than that."

B: "How is it going with you and Brad?"

A: "We broke up a week ago."

B: "I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?"

A: "I think we both just started to grow apart. I wasn't surprised."

B: "Are you doing ok?"

A: "Actually, I'm feeling great. I guess I needed some freedom."

B: "Have you started seeing other guys yet?"

A: "Not yet, but I when I meet a decent guy, I wouldn't mind dating again."

B: "What kind of guy are you looking for?"

A: "Although my relationship with Brad wasn't that bad, I want a guy who likes to go out more. Brad always spent all his time studying and researching for school. It was quite boring."

B: "You definitely need a guy who likes to have fun."

A: "I wouldn't mind dating a romantic guy. Maybe I'm dreaming, but a nice walk down the beach, or dancing in the moonlight would be something I would love to do."

B: "Hey. There are guys like that. All you have to do is find the right one."

A: "But that's the hard part. I always fall for the guy who is smart. And then after a couple of months, I get bored."

B: "Doesn't a tall, good looking guy turn you on?"

A: "Not really. What should I do?"

B: "We should go to a club this Saturday and find a smart romantic guy. How does that sound?"

A: "That sounds like a plan. Let's do it."

B: "Great. I'll see you at nine then."

A: "Ok. See you later."
