#Person2#: Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun.
#Person1#: Yeah, that's right, but it's wonderful. You won't stay up all night. And the Swedes makes most of it often they started work earlier in summer and then leave at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings.

#Person1#: Hey, Daniel, how's it going?
#Person2#: Hey, Daddy, today I had really a fantastic history class.
#Person1#: Wow, it's so strange for you to say things like that. What had happened?
#Person2#: We've learnt the story of Zheng He Sailing to West Ocean. He is a real great navigator.
#Person1#: Did your teacher tell you the route he took?

#Person1#: Good, by the way, do you finish reading the book Robinson Crusoe I've bought for you?
#Person2#: Not yet, you know I have a lot of homework to do.
#Person1#: You should speed up, because the story of Robinson can give you a better understanding about what you learned today.
#Person2#: OK, great Daddy, after supper, I'll embark on it.
#Person1#: That's my boy! Wait, Daniel, when is Pirates of the Caribbean on?

#Person1#: You know what you can do?
#Person2#: Throw it away and buy a new one.
#Person1#: No, you don't have to. You only need to put your watch back ten minutes every day.
#Person2#: So you put your watch back ten minutes every day?

#Person2#: Nine total. Seven children and my parents.
#Person1#: Seven children? That's a lot. Why did your parents have so many?
#Person2#: Well, my mother came from a big family, and wanted to have one of her own. My father was an only child, and didn't really care about having a large family, but my mother talked him into it.
#Person1#: Jeez, seven children. That must have a lot of problems. We have four children in my family and my grandparents can never get our names right.
#Person2#: It can be hard, and there are certain sacrifices you have to make.
#Person1#: Like what? I assume that there's no privacy.
#Person2#: That's one. Another is the lack of personal property. Everything you have, from toys to clothes, is used by your brothers and sisters. Especially clothes. Three quarters of my wardrobe are hand-me-downs.
#Person1#: And the age gap is also annoying. There's a ten-year difference between my younger brother and me. We have nothing in common.
#Person2#: Same problem here. There's an 18 - year gap between the oldest and youngest child in my family. The last child was born just as the oldest was going to college. | Chris is from a big family of nine, including seven children. #Person1# thinks they must have a lot of problems.

miner: A witch? I too have heard that, but it probably isn't true.

miner: Have you checked for his footprints or any tracks?
hunting dog: I followed his scent for a bit, but it just disappeared, just like he did. Oh, what will I do?
miner: Hmm perhaps we should see if there really is a witch, as she might be able to explain,
hunting dog: How do we hunt for a witch? I have never seen one in these parts. Although there is an old hut over there that might be home to a witch.

#Person1#: Hi Cody, how did practicing go this week?
#Person2#: Well I had several tests and an oral presentation this week so I didn't get a chance to memorize the second page, but I think I mastered the tricky section.
#Person1#: Great! Warm up with some scales and arpeggios first. Good, good. This week, work on keeping the rhythm steady when you play the last part with the sixteenth note. Now let's take a look at this part, shall we?
#Person2#: Charles? Before I start I was wondering if it was ok if I put a small crescendo in here and then decrescendo back to pianissimo again over here?
#Person1#: It might work. I'll have to hear it. Show me what you'Ve done.
#Person2#: It was horrible! I played it much better at home!
#Person1#: It's just nerves. Just play the right hand for now. One two three four five six, ta ti tri-ple-ti. Good, good. Don't forget the accidentals! The key signature says that note should be a G-sharp b
#Person2#: Is that better?
#Person1#: Yes, much better. Watch where you lift your foot off the pedal. What was that?
#Person2#: Sorry! The stretch for that octave is always hard to make.

#Person2#: what about renting a restaurant and treating the employees to a nice dinner?
#Person1#: but we've done that many times. We want something fresh this time.
#Person2#: okay, let me think. What about a party-and-movie night? We can rearrange our reference room, invite a band to play some music, order in some food and watch a movie later.
#Person1#: sounds like a good idea, but a band sounds too expensive.
#Person2#: well, we can ask people to make small contributions.
#Person1#: I don't think so. I don't think people are going to like it if they have to pay to come. But we certainly can cut costs in other ways, such as make the party BYOB.
#Person2#: BYOB? What's that?
#Person1#: bring your own beverage. We can provide food, but people have to bring their own drinks.
#Person2#: so we're just going to have a party where they bring their own drinks and we just give them some snacks? I don't know how well that will go over.
#Person1#: maybe you have a point. How about having a party on a Friday afternoon? We'll stop early, order some pizza, and serve drinks. There'll be music but no band. Having the party in the office will make
