A: No. I'm new here. I just moved here a few months ago.
C: Where are you from?
A: I'm from China. What about you?
C: I'm from Texas. I was in China once, but it was a long time ago.
A: Did you enjoy it?
C: I did. I especially liked the food.
What do you think about the food here?
A: It's very different from Chinese food, but I'm getting used to it.
C: Is that the Da Vinci Code that you've got there?
A: Yes. Have you read it?

So far, though, it's interesting.

A: Likewise. Bye!

C: Do you need a hand?
A: No, I can handle it. Thanks anyway.
C: Are you sure you don't need any help?
A: Well, maybe just a little. I can't seem to make it fit.
C: I swear, the overhead compartments on these planes just
keep getting smaller an smaller!
A: That's so true. Thanks for your help.
Are you in the aisle seat in this row?
C : Yes. What about you?
A: I'm in the middle seat.
C: Oh, I guess I'll let you through then.
A: Thanks. Sorry for making you get out of your seat again!
C: That's alright. I notice you have a few newspapers there.
Would you mind lending one?
A: No, not all. Which one would you like-the New York Times
or the Guardian?
C: I prefer the British paper,
but I'll read whichever one you aren't going to read away.
A: I was just going to do a little Sudoku
while we wait for the plane to take off, so Guardian is all yours.
C: Thanks a lot. That's really nice of you.
Would you like a piece of gum?
A: That would be great. Thanks.
