Everyday Expression

Talk 1:

Catherine: Mike, I owe you an apology. I'm so sorry that I couldn't make it yesterday.

Mike: You should have told me when you realized you wouldn't be available.

Catherine: I swear I wanted to give you a ring but, well, someone came to me and began to talk this and that and this kind of blew it.

Mike: So it must be Joe, right?

Catherine: Yes

Mike: Thank you anyway for telling me the truth. I think it's ok.

Talk 2:

A: Yes, I'm the manager of the store. What can I do for you?

B: OK. I bought this wafer this morning and it turned out rotten.

A: I'm terribly sorry, Madam, this is the last thing that could happen to our customer. I'll immediately give you a refund.

B: Well, actually, it's all right.

Talk 3:

A: You know what, people tend to watch a beauty like you when they walk on the street.

B: Shall I take that as a compliment?

A: Yeah, pretty women are always popular, though some think they are no more than t&a.

B: I'm sorry?

A: Oh, sorry, I didn't mean it and that of course does not include you.

B: Watch your tongue, man.

Talk 4:

A: Here we go again. What's the point of talking about it?

B: Come on, Tina, I think this is so important.

A: It's only important to you, not me. I think it's getting meaningless.

B: I never though you would be so impatient.

Talk 5:

A: How clumsy of me to step on your foot!

B: Oh, not a bit of it.

A: But I really feel bad about it.

B: Please don't take it too hard.
