Tom: Hi Ted, this is Tom.
Ted: Hey Tom, good to hear from you. How’s Taiwan?
Tom: Good. I’m having a great time.
Ted: What have you been up to? I traveled to Taiwan last time with a few friends. We went to a night market and did what a lot of people around here do quite often, had a late-night snack at a food stall. I felt fun. What else have you done?
Tom: Plenty. This week I went to a KTV on Monday night.
Ted: What’s a KTV?
Tom: Ah,…it’s like singing at a karaoke bar, but you’re in a small room with all your friends and you sing along to music from a video that’s got subtitled words for the song.
Ted: It’s interesting…….
Tom: And my friends took me to drink tea at a teahouse.
Ted: A teahouse-what’s that?
Tom: It’s a place where you drink tea and eat snacks. They drink the tea in an interesting way there. They use a very small teapot and cups, and keep filling the pot with hot water, so the tea you drink’s always hot, and not too strong or weak.
Ted: You sound pretty busy. Have you done anything else that we don’t usually do here?
Tom: Yeah, on Friday night I went out with a few of the guys and they introduced me to this drinking game called the fingers game. Do you know some other activities in Taiwan?
Ted: I know Chinese kung fu, Chinese or Taiwanese Opera and traditional puppet show. You’re having a lot of fun over there.

Topic:Visiting a Japanese Public Bath


Conversation

Mike: Hey Jason: Have you ever been to a Japanese public bath? I hear it's quite an experience.

Jason: Yes, and what an experience.

Mike: What do you mean?

Jason: Well, it's nothing like visiting a swimming pool in the States.

Mike: Well, what do you do when you go to a public bath?

Jason: First, you take off your shoes before you enter.

Mike: Okay.

Jason: Then, you pay an entrance fee to the man or woman at the front counter. [Um-huh]. Next, you get undressed in the dressing room.And I was very surprised . . . and a little embarrassed to see that the woman who took my money was sitting on a platform where she had a clear view of the men's side of the dressing room. Really? This allows the workers to keep an eye on the patrons' belongings while they are in the bath.

Mike: Wow. And do you wear a bathing suit or something?

Jason: Oh no! You don't wear anything. Then you go into the main bathing area and wash your body while sitting on a small stool about 40 centimeters high.

Mike: On a stool!

Jason: Yeah. It was really hard getting used to bathing in that position. Sometimes, even, people wash each other's backs.

Mike: Oh really. So, what do you do after that?

Jason: Well, after you've rinsed off all the soap, they usually have two or three large baths where you can soak for a while.

Mike: Do you actually share the bath with other people?

Jason: Yeah. Traditionally, the bath played an important role in the community. It gave neighbors an opportunity to socialize while bathing.

Mike: Huh. Interesting.

Jason: When you're all done bathing, people relax in the dressing room by watching TV, drinking tea or juice, or talking to friends. It's quite an experience.


Questions:

1. What is the first thing you do when visiting a Japanese public bath?
A. pay the entrance fee

Employee: Hello. Can I take your order?

Customer: Yes. I'd like a large pepperoni pizza with mushrooms and green peppers.

Employee: Would you like anything else?

Customer: Well, wait. Uh, can I make that a half-and-half pizza?

Employee: Sure. What would you like on each half?

Customer: Uh, what toppings do you have?

Employee: Well, we have Italian sausage, ham, mushrooms, onions, pineapple, black olives, green peppers, bacon, tomatoes, shrimp, clams, and squid.

Customer: Shrimp, clams, and squid!? What kind of pizza is that?

Employee: Uh, the manager spent some time overseas [Oh.], and thinks his new seafood pizza will be a hit with customers, but to be honest, the "Swimmer's Special," as he calls it, is an acquired taste.

Customer: Uh, I'll pass on the "Sink or Swim" special, but I'll have pepperoni and mushrooms on one half and green peppers and Italian sausage on the other. Oh, and could I get extra cheese on that pizza?

Employee: Alright. Would you care for any bread sticks or beverage with your order? [Well . . . I don't know.] Actually, we have a Friday night family special going on right now [Oh!], and if you order any large pizza and drink, we'll throw in a free order of bread sticks, plus a three dollar coupon for use with your next pizza order.

Customer: Huh, sure, why not. And what drink comes with the pizza?

Employee: Either apple or orange juice.

Customer: I'll take orange juice.

Employee: Okay. Your total comes to fifteen nineteen, which includes tax. [Okay.] And could I have your name?

Customer: Uh, yeah, Jay Han.

Employee: Huh? Did you say "Jay Hand"?

Customer: No, it's "Han." Actually, it's a Korean name, but many people have difficulty making it out. Hey, maybe I SHOULD change my name to "Hand."

Employee: Ah, names are important; don't change it. [Okay.] Oh, and your address and telephone number?

Customer: It's 1340 South 16 East, and the phone number is 340-1870 (three-four-zero-eighteen, seventy).

Employee: Okay. Let me repeat your order. A large half-and-half pizza. [Okay.] One half with pepperoni [Yeah.] and mushrooms and the other with Italian sausage and green peppers. [Yeah.] Orange juice and your free order of bread sticks. Jan "Han," not "Hand," [Yeah, that's right.] at 1340 South 16 East, 340-1817. Is that correct?

Customer: Everything except for the phone number. It's 1870, not 1817.

Employee: Alright. Thanks for your order. It should arrive at your doorstep in 30 minutes or less, or you'll receive a free small pizza with your next order.

Customer: Great. Thanks.

Situation: Sherry and Irene are paying for some snacks at 7-Eleven.

Sherry: What did you get? A bottle of water, Lays, Airwaves, and … What’s this, some new kind of candy?

Irene: No, it’s more like medicine. It doesn’t taste anything like candy!

Sherry: Pro-po-lis. That’s a strange name for medicine. It sounds Greek. “Pro” means “ before,” right? And “polis” means “city.”

Irene: Right, Bees use propolis around the front door of their hives to protect themselves from germs and enemies.

Sherry: Whatever, Irene. Think I’m going to buy that one? Bees can’t buy propolis at 7-Eleven!

Irene: No, they make it! Propolis is a mixture of tree resin and bee spit.

Sherry: Bee spit?! You’re going to eat that?

Irene: Yep. It kills germs so it should keep me from getting sick.

Sherry: And just what makes you so sure it’ll keep you healthy, anyway?

Irene: In 1965, a French doctor gave scientific proof that propolis could be used as an antibiotic to help our bodies fight disease. By the way, have you ever heard a honey bee sneeze?

Clerk by Jenny Alice by Wang


Alice has just checked into a hotel in San Francisco. After going up to her room, she immediately calls the front desk.

Clerk: Front desk.

Alice: This is Alice Givens, in 206.

Clerk: Yes, Ms. Givens?

Alice: I’m sorry to say that I’m not completely satisfied with my room.

Clerk: And I’m sorry to hear that, Ms. Givens. What’s the problem with the room?

Alice: It just isn’t what I specified when I made my reservation.

Clerk: And how is that?

Alice: I asked for a room as far as possible from the elevator, facing away form the street. But this room is right beside the elevator, facing the busy street. Can you please move me to a different room?

Clerk: Let me see what I can do.

(Moments later)

Clerk: Ms. Givens, I’m very sorry, but there are no other rooms of this size available.

Alice: Can you put me in a bigger room, then?

Clerk: I’d be happy to do that, Ms. Givens. We have a nice, quiet suite on the 10th floor.

Alice: That’s great. Thank you.

Clerk: You’re welcome. That will be an extra $50.

Alice: Excuse me? Are you telling me you’re going to charge me extra to put me in a different room?

Clerk: I’m afraid so, Ms. Givens. The suite is larger, so the price is higher.

Alice: But you didn’t give me the room I asked for in the first place!

Clerk: I’m looking at your reservation record. There’s nothing here about any special requests.

Alice: Well, I very clearly told your reservation clerk what I wanted. She told me the room would be just as I requested. Since it isn’t, you ought to fix things-at no extra charge!

Clerk: I have to go by our computer record, Ms. Givens. On the basis, there will be an extra charge for a larger room.

Alice: I’m sorry, but that isn’t acceptable. People sometimes make mistakes, and in this case, your reservation clerk did, so I hope you will do the right thing.

Clerk: If you don’t mind, Ms. Givens, I’d like to have the hotel manager discuss this with you.

Alice: Please do. I’ll wait here for his call.

Reference: studio classroom “September 2005”
