Conversation 1
No,I'm an only child,actually.
Oh really? I didn't know that.
What was it like,growing up on your own?
Didn't it get a bit lonely sometimes?
Yes,kind of.
I sometimes got a bit upset because I didn't have anyone to play with,
and my parents were too busy to spend much time with me,
but most of the time it was OK.
You just get used to it and anyway,
I often used to go round to friends'houses and play there.
Conversation 2
Yes,why? Do you want to borrow it?
If you don't mind.I won't be on it long,I promise.

OK.There you are.You have to press that button there first,
then dial the number and then press that green button there.
OK.I've got it.Thanks.

Right.Well,we might be able to help you with that if we did decide to offer you the job.
We could give you some free time to study in.

Yes,but it's a really old one.It's very slow and it crashes all the time.
Yes? Well,why don't you get rid of it and get a new one?
I don't know.I don't really need a new one.
The old one does everything I need it to.
I mean,I can send e-mail on it,type things up on it,that kind of thing.
It's not really that bad.Just slow. Yes.
Conversation 6
Yes,kind of!My son's got a little snake he keeps in his bedroom.
I don't really like the thing myself,
but he's very keen on it,so I let him keep it.
Oh,right.Yes,but I'm sure that one day
I'll wake up and find it deed because he's forgotten to feed it.
Yes,well,kids need to learn about death sooner or later don't they?
And that's as good a way as any.
