#Person1#: Hey, man. What's up?
#Person2#: Ah, first of all, I put a buck in the vending machine for a seventy-five cent candy bar, and the thing got stuck here in the machine. Then, I pressed the change button [Ah, man], and nothing happened. [Wow!] Nothing came out. The dumb thing still owes me a quarter.
#Person1#: Well, did you talk to the man at the snack bar to see if he could refund your money?
#Person2#: Yeah, I tried that, but he said he didn't own the machine, and I'd have to call the phone number on the machine.
#Person1#: What a bummer.
#Person2#: Hey, I have an idea. [What?] Why don't we rock the machine back and forth until the candy bar falls?
#Person1#: Nothing doing. I don't want to be responsible for breaking the thing, and besides, someone might call the cops.
#Person2#: Ah, don't worry. I've done it before. Oh well. Hey, hey, tough luck. Hey, here, take my candy bar. [You mean?] Yeah, the machine and I hit it off earlier today. | #Person2# tells #Person1# he put a buck in the vending machine but the thing got stuck.

horse: I'm doing well. I think the king may want to come ride today. That's always fun!
cat: Oh, that's exciting! Where to does the king usually ride you?
horse: Sometimes we just go wandering through the countryside, and other times we go on great adventures to other kingdoms. It's never the same.
cat: That sounds like so much fun! I don't usually go on adventures, sadly. The shopkeeper likes me to stay here and watch out for mice.
horse: Do you ever catch any?
cat: Sometimes I do, but they don't come around often because they know I'm here.
horse: That's good. Then you can take more naps.
cat: Indeed! The more naps the better! However, I wouldn't mind going on trips. Do you think the king would allow a cat to come?

cat: I can be fierce! See? All mice fear me!

#Person1#: Excuse me, but do you have this shirt in blue?
#Person2#: Yes, we do. But only in small, large and extra large.

#Person2#: Well, we may be getting more in next week. Would you like me to check our computer?

#Person1#: Excuse me.
#Person2#: Yeah?
#Person1#: I've never used this place before. Can you give me some idea what I need to do?
#Person2#: You just put quarters in the machines. It's easy.
#Person1#: Yes, but. . . well. . .
#Person2#: What?
#Person1#: How do I use the machines?
#Person2#: What do you mean? These are the washing machines. Those big things over there are the dryers.
#Person1#: I see. Do the machines have soap in them?
#Person2#: No, of course not. You have to put soap in. Did you bring your soap?
#Person1#: No. I don't have soap.
#Person2#: Well, you can buy some from that vending machine over there.
#Person1#: Thanks. Okay. I have my soap.
#Person2#: My God! You really bought a lot. Why do you need so much?
#Person1#: I don't know. I want my clothes to be clean.
#Person2#: But you can't use so much. The machine won't be able to rinse the soap out.
#Person1#: Oh. I guess I didn't know. I have never washed clothes before.
#Person2#: What? Did you say you never washed clothes before?
#Person1#: Yes.
#Person2#: In your life? Are you kidding? Never?
#Person1#: No. Never.
#Person2#: I can't believe it. How can that be? How old are you?
#Person1#: I'm nineteen.
#Person2#: But how can you live nineteen years without ever washing clothes?
#Person1#: My mother always did it.
#Person2#: Yes, my mother washed my clothes too. But when I was twelve, I started to wash clothes myself.
#Person1#: I know about this fact. American children are more independent. They do more for themselves. But I am from Taiwan. In Taiwan, children must study very hard. So the mother does everything for the kids. The mother wants her kids to get very good grades at school. So I've never washed clothes before. You shouldn't laugh at me for it.
#Person2#: I'm not laughing at you. But let me ask you something?
#Person1#: What?
#Person2#: How are you going to survive here? I mean, if you can't do anything for yourself. If you can't cook, if you can't wash clothes, if you can't clean house. How can you live on your own?
#Person1#: I don't know. It's hard. But I have to learn.
#Person2#: Well, I'll help you learn how to use these machines.
#Person1#: Thanks. My name's Nick.
#Person2#: I'm Alice. I guess I'll have to be your mother for today.
#Person1#: Thanks, Mom. Thanks. | Nick has never used washing machines before, and he turns to a girl for help. Nick appreciates Alice's help and tells her his mother used to do washing for him. Alice will help him be more independent. |
#Person1#: There is a tornado warning on. My mother just told me she heard it on the radio.
#Person2#: What is a tornado warning?
#Person1#: It means that a tornado has been seen somewhere in the area.
#Person2#: Really? In New Berlin?
#Person1#: No. Not necessarily in town. But in southern Wisconsin somewhere. A tornado has been spotted. They have two stages here. This is what is called a ' tornado watch. ' That means that the weather conditions are perfect for a tornado.
#Person2#: I understand. They think a tornado might come.
#Person1#: Yes. People should look out, because maybe there will be tornadoes coming. So it's called a ' watch. '
#Person2#: And the second stage is called a ' tornado warning '.
#Person1#: Yes. If a tornado has been spotted, they announce a ' tornado warning '. So if there's a tornado warning on, it means a tornado is out there somewhere.
#Person2#: It's scary.
#Person1#: Well. Tornadoes can be dangerous, it's true. If we hear something like a loud train coming, then we have to go in the basement.
#Person2#: What do you mean ' a loud train '?
#Person1#: That is what tornadoes sound like. They sound like trains. They're very loud.
#Person2#: But if you hear them coming, isn't it already too late?
#Person1#: Maybe. It depends on the tornado. Some can move across the ground at 200 miles an hour. That is very fast. Others aren't so fast.
#Person2#: Have you seen a lot of them?
#Person1#: I've only seen one in my life. I was looking out the window. It was around two miles away. It was very interesting to watch. But it was heading toward my friend's house. So I quickly called them on the phone.
#Person2#: Did it hit their house?
#Person1#: No, it didn't. But they are glad I called them.
#Person2#: What were they doing when you called?
#Person1#: They were all sitting in the living room watching TV. They had no idea a tornado was coming toward their house. If it had hit them, they could have all been killed.
#Person2#: That's terrible. Do many people die in tornadoes?
#Person1#: Not so many really. But a lot of houses are destroyed sometimes. | #Person1# says that there is a tornado warning on, which means that a tornado has been seen somewhere in southern Wisconsin. #Person1# explains to #Person2# the two stages of a tornado. The first is a 'tornado watch' and the second is a 'tornado warning'. #Person1# also indicates that not so many people die in tornadoes, but a lot of houses are destroyed sometimes. |
#Person1#: Could you explain the paper-making process to us - in very simple terms - please?
#Person2#: Well, the pulp falls from a box onto the first part of the paper machine, which is basically a wire bed with large holes in it, where most of the water is extracted.
#Person1#: So, is it actually paper at this stage?
#Person2#: Yes, it is. But we need to take out more water. So it then passes through a series of rollers, where more water is squeezed out. After that it goes through the dryers, which are at a very high temperature. The paper is then coated. And finally it's wound onto reels and cut down into smaller lengths. | #Person2# explains to #Person1# the process of paper-making and how to take out more water from the pulp. |
#Person1#: Are you packing for another trip?
#Person2#: Yeah. On Saturday, I'm flying to Toronto.
#Person1#: Is this another engineering conference for work?
#Person2#: No. I'm meeting with friends. But I earned so many miles by traveling for work that the ticket was free.
#Person1#: That's impressive. You fly a lot. I've only been on a plane a few times.
#Person2#: Really? Don't you travel with your dad?
#Person1#: No. He travels a lot because he is a banker,and he has an office in Japan. When he's working in New York, we take the train to visit him.
#Person2#: Oh, I thought you drove.
#Person1#: No, my mom dislikes driving in the city. Besides, the train is super relaxing.
#Person2#: What does your mom do for work?
#Person1#: She's a nurse. But she gets the weekends off.
#Person2#: I see. Does she like New York?
#Person1#: Actually,neither of us likes it that much. But we love spending time with my dad there. | #Person2#'s flying to Toronto to meet with friends. #Person1#'s only been on a plane a few times because #Person1# takes the train to New York to visit #Person1#'s father. |
#Person1#: Like a cat on hot bricks, as you might say. I don ' t believe you are listening at all.
#Person2#: Sorry, I just worried about him. You know, he should be here an hour ago.
#Person1#: Don ' t worry him, he has been grown up and I think he can take himself very well.
#Person2#: But he still does not come back.
#Person1#: Maybe he is on the way home now. | #Person2# is worried about one man, and #Person1# thinks that that man might be on the way home now. |
#Person1#: What a wonderful dinner!
#Person2#: Thank you. I am glad that you are enjoying it.
#Person1#: Where did you get your fantastic recipes?

#Person1#: I especially like the wonderful chicken dish.
#Person2#: That is a special coconut ginger chicken with rice dish.
#Person1#: Is that shrimp in the soup?

Dennis: Happy New Year! How's life? Any more travelling? Do you still see a lot of your travelling companion (I don’t think you ever mentioned his name). Or are you taking it easy in your rural idyll.
Laura: Hello my dear Dennis! Happy New Year to you too! Am in Cuba at the moment. What a country!
Dennis: Never been there myself but it's on my itinerary. What's it like?
Laura: A bit tough, truth to tell, but you'd like it. Abject living conditions for local people but we're in a "touristy" cocoon, so one easily overlooks the other side. Splendid landscapes, incredible architecture but in a more than sorry state of preservation. I love and hate to be here at the same time.
Dennis: So you aren't travelling alone, I presume.
Laura: No, my travelling companion takes me along, so to speak, to his winter quarters, since his health doesn't cope that well with European winters. I couldn't afford these travels entirely on my own of course.
Dennis: Always thought Cuba is not expensive. Especially the post-Fidel Cuba.
Laura: Just the contrary. In the good old days when it was supported by the Soviet Union, the living standard was not bad and they didn't have to rely on income from tourism. Then it all went down the drain, even famine and food rationing have become their daily thing. Since early 00s most not rationed goods are available only for CUC, their convertible currency. The bottom line being that whatever you buy as a tourist, you pay +/- western prices.
Dennis: So how much do you two spend daily?
Laura: Staying in private houses about at least 100€, including food, transport and entrance fees. These days we are compelled to stay at a state-run Hotel and pay thru the nose - 130€ a night. No, Cuba is not cheap. But Havana Club YES.
Dennis: Don't like the stuff at all.
Laura: Me neither. Gives me headaches. Even one glass of it.
Dennis: What you say will make me think twice before setting sail for Cuba.
Laura: But it can be fantastic as well. Eg Vinales Valley in the west, with its horse-riding trips, wild camping and pure nature.
Dennis: Sounds better. I'll ask you for details.
Dennis: Anyway enjoy your trip as much as you can. Happy trails toyou two!
Laura: Thank you, Dennis. | Laura is in Cuba at the moment. She has mixed feelings about Cuba. She's travelling with her companion. Cuba is expensive for tourists. She has to spend over 100€ on a daily basis. |
The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): We will now go to Mr Epp the member for ChathamKentLeamington
Mr. Dave Epp: Thank you Mr Chair I wish to congratulate my colleague Cathy McLeod On Tuesday May 26 she gained a new resident when Brinnley Lisette Huby was born to parents Adam and Carina Huby Carina is my daughter and that makes Brinnley my first grandchild and presently my favourite newest Canadian All are healthy and I thank God for Brinnleys healthy arrival Some honourable members : Hear hear ! Mr Dave Epp : Minister Jordan the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation is allowed access to the seafood stabilization fund while you deny its competitor our Ontario fisheries that fish on the Great Lakes the similar right to apply Minister why ?
Hon. Bernadette Jordan (South ShoreSt. Margarets, Lib.): Mr Chair I want to thank my colleague for the very good question The Ontario inland fishers and the people in Ontario are eligible for other programs that are offered through the regional development agencies We are going to make sure that no industry is left behind when it comes to our fisheries We are making sure that we are addressing the concerns of inland fisheries as well as coastal fisheries Those programs will be available to anyone who needs to apply through the RDAs
Mr. Dave Epp: Minister will you then direct these regional agencies to provide equitable funding equivalent to the seafood stabilization fund ?
Hon. Bernadette Jordan: Mr Chair we are making sure that they have the same access to programs through the regional development agencies as there is through the seafood stabilization fund We are making sure that everyone who is in need of support through the programs will be able to access it
Mr. Dave Epp: According to Stats Canada before my granddaughter turns one year old her share of the federal debt will be over 39000 What is Minister Morneaus fiscal plan for Canada so that the interest on this debt does not cripple Canada with higher taxes ?
Hon. Bill Morneau: Mr Chair we realize that it is always important to be responsible from a fiscal standpoint We believe that the responsible approach today is to make investments to support Canadians and to support businesses In that way we can have jobs and we can get through this pandemic and have a strong economy and be able to continue with our approach to managing our economy in a responsible
The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): We will go back to Mr Epp
Mr. Dave Epp: Minister when can Parliament or this semblance of it see that plan for economic prosperity ?
The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): I would like to remind honourable members to direct their questions through the Chair The honourable minister may reply
Hon. Bill Morneau: Thank you Mr Chair We have been quite clear that we need to be transparent on a daily basis by giving Canadians an understanding of the investments that we are making through this pandemic Once the situation is more stable economically we will certainly be coming forward with a broader plan
Mr. Dave Epp: Mr Chair the Canadian Chamber of Commerce said three months before the pandemic that this current governments level of spending and incurring of debt is untenable and that future generations like my granddaughter will have to pay for it How much more debt is the minister planning to incur ?
Hon. Bill Morneau: Mr Chair coming into this pandemic in a strong fiscal position with the lowest amount of debt among the G7 countries is a function of our economy that is afforded us the opportunity to invest on behalf of Canadians We will continue to take that approach We believe that is the responsible thing to do through the course of this challenge
Mr. Dave Epp: What is the budget for stopping illegal American guns from getting through our borders ?
Hon. Marc Garneau (Minister of Transport): Mr Chair I thank the member for the question I can tell you that we have invested considerable amounts of money and have earmarked ongoing monies to ensure that we address the issue of illegal guns passing across the border We realize
The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): We will go back to Mr Epp
Mr. Dave Epp: What is the budget then to fight governmenttrained and licensed Canadians in the court challenge that is now been triggered ?
The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): We will go to the honourable minister We are not getting any audio
Mr. Dave Epp: I have a point of order Mr Chair Could I have some more time please ?
The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): Yes We are just going to hold time here momentarily Mr Epp
Hon. Marc Garneau: I apologize Mr Chair Could I ask for the question to be repeated please ?
The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): Mr Epp what is your question again ?
Mr. Dave Epp: What is the budget for fighting the governmenttrained and licensed people who are now triggering a lawsuit against your order in council ?
Hon. Marc Garneau: Mr Chair I do not have the answer to that question but obviously the government will defend its position
Mr. Dave Epp: Mr Chair COVID19 has exacerbated the problem of this governments policy of spending the cupboards bare in good times instead of planning for a rainy dayand folks we are in a storm Unlike this government municipalities can not by law say put it on the tab for the next generation The balanced budget requirements force them to choose between slashed services and drastic tax hikes The Federation of Canadian Municipalities says they need 10 billion in targeted emergency operating funding so do municipalities slash services do they raise taxes or will we be there for the municipalities ?
Hon. Chrystia Freeland: Our government absolutely understands the crucial role municipalities play as the engine of our economy at all times and particularly today as in many parts of the country we are looking to restart the economy That is why the Prime Minister announced just this morning that we will be accelerating payments under the gas tax fund Municipalities will receive the full amount of their 202021 payment on June 10 This will help them with some of their nearterm liquidity issues
The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): We are now going to Mr Manly the member for NanaimoLadysmith Mr Manly go ahead | The minister placed assurance on coming out with a broader plan once the pandemic situation became more stable economically. At the same time, coming into this pandemic in a strong fiscal position with the lowest amount of debt among the G7 countries gave the government opportunities to invest on behalf of Canadians, and they would continue to take that approach. And the minister promised that there would not be higher taxes. |

#Person2#: Nice to see you, too. I heard you are a staff of Nokia company.
#Person1#: Yes, I ' m satisfied with this job.
#Person2#: Congratulations. What did you do during the interview?
#Person1#: Pay more attention to the external expressions, because they are important for the first impression. Good manner and style of conversation can let other feel your good self-cultivation. Good gestures and mien can let other feel very comfortable.
#Person2#: How can I have the good external expressions?
#Person1#: Don ' t worry about that. You just pay more attention to the details of people ' s action in life, and you will know how to transfer information by their body language. | Nancy tells #Person1# to pay more attention to the details of people's actions in life in order to have good external expressions during the interview. |

#Person1#: The gown is quite expensive, believe me.
#Person2#: So what? It only makes her look cheap and vulgar.
#Person1#: You know those upstarts. They're all show-offs! I think I'd better have a diet ; otherwise I'd look like a ballon soon.
#Person2#: You're quite slim. In fact, if you were one of those starlets, the movie company would say you have a fabulous figure.

Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Good morning Thank you Chair Good morning Deputy Minister Of those individuals who responded to our written consultation in a personal capacity nearly 70 per cent do not support this Bill We also heard a clear message from the parents we met last week who oppose this Bill that as parents they understand clearly the difference between child abuse and a light smack from a loving parent How would you like to respond to that ?
Julie Morgan AM: Thank you very much Janet for that question I think I would like to start by saying that child abuse is not the issue that the Bill is trying to address What the Bill is trying to do is prohibit all forms of physical punishment and that is in order to protect childrens rights and to ensure that children have the same protection from physical punishment as adults But I do understand that people have different views and that is why this process has been so important—for us to hear what your views are and what parents views are I know that often people use different euphemisms really to make light of physical punishment I have heard expressions used such as a light smack or a loving smack or a tap and really there can be different interpretations of what is a light smack what is a loving smack and that does not really cover the issue of the frequency of such actions being taken But I would say that however mild it seems to be the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child recognises that any physical punishment of children however minor is incompatible with their human rights and why should a big person hit a little person ? That is been the sort of mantra really that has taken me through supporting this legislation—that it just seems wrong to me that there is something in the law that could mean that there could be an excuse for that happening I believe we should not have anything in the law that defends the physical punishment of children and I do not think we should be defining acceptable ways of hitting or punishing children because I think it does send a confused message to children It says It is for me to hit you but do not you hit anybody else I think it causes confusion So I am confident that updating the law will make it much clearer for parents and people working with children—and of course I am sure as you will have heard from the evidence you have taken that people who work with children are overwhelmingly in support of this legislation and the representative surveys that we have carried out show support for the Bills principles
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Thank you Deputy Minister Last week during the workshop a few parents—predominantly all of them actually—said that they use a gentle tap or smacking as part of a toolkit of ways to deal with challenging behaviour or sometimes for the safety of the child or indeed to carry out the parenting of a child How do you intend to work with parents going forward given the finite resources that social care and social services have ? I know from the responses we have received to the consultation that parents themselves who have to parent 24 hours a day seven days a week they are really on the scale of things very upset about this How do you intend to try and get your message across to those parents on removing what they consider to be part of their toolkit when raising children ? How do you intend to deal with that aspect ?
Julie Morgan AM: Well first of all I want to say as I have said in most evidence sessions that I completely accept that bringing up children is hard It is very difficult many of us have done it and we know how tough it can be But we do not think that there is any place for physical punishment in bringing up children There is a whole range of other ways that you can help parents bring up children and advice you can give them of different methods to use But the clear message of this Bill is that we do not want any physical punishment we do not think it is the right thing to do and we believe that we are supported by many people in that view | All forms of physical punishment including smacks from a loving parent should be prohibited by legislation to protect children's rights. There were multiple other ways to help parents bring up children rather than the physical punishment. |

the king: Ah yes, they won't suspect a thing! Well.. they might be a wee bit suspicious, as I've never allowed it before. Perhaps I'll claim to have come down with case of generosity!
