Will you attend? Ethy: Of course. I know his text by heart but I have to be at his side all the time. With medications etc. Laura: I suppose he also feel more confident when you're around. Ethy: Very much so. In fact we are together most of the time. It does start to sap my energies. But - no choice! Will you be attending? Laura: Just told you we both would. Ethy: Nice of you! Peter will be happy to see you. But certainly you know everything he's going to talk about. Laura: Not exactly as he always finds out new details. It will be new to Ed though. Laura: Shall we have a drink afterwards? Ethy: That depends on Peter's condition. Only if he's not too tired. Then he'd only want to go home. Laura: Sure enough. Just a suggestion.

So I want to spend at least 75 dollars. #Person2#: Alright, I have an idea. You know he carries that conservative-looking briefcase every day. #Person1#: Yes. #Person2#: Well, he isn't a lawyer, so I don't think he needs to have a briefcase like that. #Person1#: What should he have then? #Person2#: I think he would appreciate having a very fine leather bag. But more like a workbag or shoulder bag. You know, not so hard and square like a briefcase. #Person1#: I think that's a great idea. Men look great with that kind of bag. Where can we buy one? #Person2#: I don't think this mall has a leather goods store. So we have to go to State Street. #Person1#: Alright. We can go later then. #Person2#: We can buy something for Mom and Dad here, and then go buy Uncle Teddy's gift on State Street. #Person1#: Good plan. What should we get for Mom though? #Person2#: She said she wants one of those automatic foot massagers. I think they sell them at Sears. #Person1#: Alright. We can go check at Sears and see if they have them. And what about Dad? #Person2#: How about the iguana? #Person1#: I think it would be a great joke. But I know we'd have to take the iguana back. And the pet store might not let us. So why don't we get him something else? Some clothes maybe. #Person2#: A tie? #Person1#: Oh, shut up about ties! Forget about ties, why not? #Person2#: I was just kidding.

#Person1#: What upsets you? #Person2#: My parents called me just now. As usual, they reminded me again that I should have a plan to marry by my late 20s. Easier set than done. Who should I marry? I have so many courses and projects to complete! My PhD study drives me crazy and I have no time to go on a date. #Person1#: It is not your mother finding one for you? #Person2#: I will find one myself, of course. I'm a modern girl. #Person1#: Perhaps you can try the three minutes date, the latest type. #Person2#: You mean dozens of the opposite sex meet each other for three minutes in a dimly bar serving alcohol, I hate that idea. #Person1#: No, there is an updated version, three minutes video date.

Three minutes is such a short time. #Person1#: I think you can find out if there is a possibility of romance within the first second of meeting someone, so-called love at first sight. #Person2#: Anyway, I don't want to post my face up for sale on the internet like that. #Person1#: Don't worry. There are many other options using the internet as dating methods. Some sites operate at international standard even have got certifications. #Person2#: Of course, for these sites, you have to pay a membership fee. But all in all, it is more serious and professional. The chance of meeting a good and serious person who does not play games is higher. #Person1#: I don't want to post my personal information on the internet. I'm not knowing who is reading it.
#Person2# is upset as #Person2#'s parents remind #Person2# again that #Person2# should have a marriage plan. #Person1# recommends #Person2# to try the updated version of three minutes date, but #Person2# thinks three minutes is too short and refuses to post the personal information online.
