Using Hair Products and Accessories



http://flygirls.typepad.com/fly/images/products_1.jpg





Danny: You’re going to the prom. How exciting! How should we style you hair?

Clarissa: I’m really not sure. I was hoping you would have some ideas.

Danny: I do, but first we need to see if we have the right tools. Let’s look in your bathroom. Here’s some shampoo and conditioner, but where are the gel, mousse, and hairspray?

Clarissa: Here, they’re on this shelf. Here’s a hairdryer and some rollers, too. Do you think we’ll need the curling iron or the flat iron?

Danny: I’m not sure, but put them here, just in case. Okay, now I need a brush and comb, and some bobby pins. We’ll need some elastic bands, too, to pull your hair back.

Clarissa: Here, they’re all in this drawer.

Danny: Oh, this is a pretty barrette, but we won’t need it for tonight. Okay, ready for the transformation?

Clarissa: I’m as ready as I’ll ever be.

Danny: Okay, let the fun begin!

Marwa: my sister love this kind of cheese. but is it from Denmark?


http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/worood/DSC01563.jpg


Maram: Look at the cover.

Mona: well done Marwa! at least we must oblige on this boycott because of what the Danish did and said about our prophet peace be upon him.

Maram: Why? What did they do?

Mona: Do not you Know? Are you sleeping Maram?

Maram: unfortunately not.

Marwa: The Danish assaulted our prophet by drawing and publishing some cartoon in the newspaper insulting our prophet Mohammad and showed him as terrorist.

Maram: Oh!!! They exceeded their limits.

Mona: Yes right. because of that we are boycotting their productions.

Maram: Oh!! I have an idea. Let's write a book about Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H)and his greatness what do you think?

Marwa: Wow, good idea.

Mona: Bravo.

Describing People’s Voices


http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/learning/primary/tunein/images/instruments/large/voice.jpg





Adriana: Shhh, I’m trying to listen to the radio.

Ralph: How can you listen to that radio station? All of their deejays have such funny voices.

Adriana: That’s precisely why I like it. Take this guy, Kevin. He has a deep, husky voice that I find really sexy.

Ralph: This guy? His voice is so monotone that it lulls me to sleep every time I hear it.

Adriana: Well, if you don’t like his voice, how about his sidekick, Lisa May? Her voice is music to my ears.

Ralph: She has a nice lilt in her voice, but it’s so high-pitched and squeaky. It can really be grating to listen to her for more than a few minutes.

Adriana: Okay, if you don’t like their voices, what kind of voices do you like?

Ralph: I like a gravelly voice, speaking softly and saying...

Adriana: I’m not talking about your fantasies. I don’t want to know anything about those!

[M.o_o.N]

Getting a Dream Job



http://www.computerarts.co.uk/__data/assets/image/1023801/art158featdream455.jpg




Tandia: Do you want these want ads after I’m finished with them?

Hank: No, I’m not going to find my dream job in the classifieds. I’m going to have to get more creative with my job search.

Tandia: What are you looking for?

Hank: I want a job that’s rewarding and fast-paced, and with good growth potential, but all I see are dead-end jobs.

Tandia: I know what you mean. I’m looking for something that’s challenging, but also with flexible work hours. All of my friends have great jobs. Why can’t I land one of them?

Hank: Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves, we need a better game plan.

Tandia: What do you have in mind?

Hank: I’m not sure, but we need to get noticed.

Tandia: Why don’t you take out a billboard? That should get you noticed.

Hank: Hey, that’s really thinking out of the box.

Tandia: I was joking!

Hank: I’m not. That’s an inspired idea. Now what should we put on the billboard?

Tandia: You’re crazy!

Amal;hi doctor ,how do you do

Nutritionist :hi,i'm fine ,thank you dear



Amal:doctor as you know

In today's world, where every body is
getting conscious about looking good



Nutritionist: yes you are right Amal

it has become all the more necessary
to keep oneself in shape. If you have a good

Avoid taking white foods as
they contain large amounts of carbohydrates,
which may further lead to weight gain. Replace white sugar,
white rice, and white flour with whole grain breads and brown rice

Amal: yes ok doctor and then


Nutritionist:

Skip watching TV for an hour and go for a walk instead. Or else,
you have now time to finish

Eat fruit rather than drinking fruit juice

Eating whole foods will keep you satisfied

for longer period of time than juice.

Moreover, fruit juices are very high in calories

Eat more vegetables during meals as water-rich foods like zucchini,
tomatoes, and cucumbers reduce
your overall calorie consumption.
Some other water-rich foods include
soups and salads; they are good source of nutrition

Amal:ok doctor,what els?


Nutritionist:

Switch to ordinary coffee because coffee drinks at shops

owing to whole milk, whipped cream,
sugar, and sugary syrups.
A cup of regular coffee,
having skim milk brewed
with good beans, tastes great
and moreover has fewer calories.



Amal:ok but doctor can you tell me please examples
for some foods that contain
vitamins , minerals
and fiber

Nutritionist:ok Foods rich

in vitamins, minerals and fiber

محادثه عن 4 بنات يتكلموا عن عادات وتقاليد بلدهم




http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/flag-countries.gif



Kristy: (from U.K)
Huda: (from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia)
Amal: (from Egypt)
Sou hii: (from Japan)





Kristy: (from U.K)
Good morning all, my name is Kristy from United Kingdom

Huda: (from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia)
Huda: Good morning, nice to meet you Kristy. I'm Huda from Saudi Arabia

Kristy :well thank you. It nice too meet you too

Amal: (from Egypt)

Kristy and Huda, hi how are you? I'm Amal from Egypt.

Sou hii: (from Japan)
Good morning girls can I join you, my name is Sou hii form Japan
Kristy: good morning

Huda: for sure you can join us
Amal: And it nice too meet you Sou hii

Sou Hii: thank you girls
Kristy:ok can we start conversation about customs of our countries?

Amal,Huda,Sou Hii: yes ok ,that's great

Kristy:ok who will start first?
Huda: well,, you start .Kristy

Amal: yes Kristy
Sou Hii: please tell us about your customs in U.K

Kristy:
Britain is full of culture and traditions which have been around for hundreds of years. British customs and traditions are famous all over the world. When people think of Britain they often think of people drinking tea, eating fish and chips and wearing bowler hats, but there is more to Britain than just those things. We have English and British traditions of sport, music, food and many royal occasions and Halloween day

Amal: What do you mean by" Halloween".
Kristy:
Halloween: On October 31st, we celebrate Halloween, thought to be the one night of the year when ghosts, witches, and fairies are especially activeTraditional Halloween celebrations and customs in England and

Sou Hii: oh I see, I will tell you about the tea ceremony,

The tea ceremony (sado: "the way of the tea") is a ceremonial way of preparing and drinking tea. The custom has been strongly influenced by Zen Buddhism.
Nowadays, the tea ceremony is a relatively popular hobby. Many Japanese, who are interested in their own culture, take tea ceremony lessons. Tea ceremonies are held in traditional Japanese rooms in cultural community centers or private houses.
the tea is first prepared by the host, and then drunk by the guests. The tea is bitter matcha green tea made of powdered tea leaves.

Huda: That's very nice.ok I'll tell you about our custom in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi women, like their other Arab counterparts, wear a traditional covering, called an abaya. It is a large, loose-fitting cloak-like garment worn over their clothes. The purpose of this Arabic dress is to protect the women, and help them to remain modest.


The abaya, the name for the traditional Arabic dress, hides a woman’s figure from the eyes of a man, and therefore, she cannot lead him to sin if she is properly covered. The Saudi woman wears the abaya in adherence to her religious practices. Arabic women from different parts of the world wear various colors of cloth to cover their body, but Saudi women usually wear black.


Amal:In Egypt we have the same custom like K.S.A
Muslims celebrate Ramadan with joy and happiness. They prepare for it by hanging up colored decorations in the streets & banners announcing that Ramadan is coming soon. They also hang up what Muslims call "Fanus", for example,. lanterns of different shapes and colors, some of which are lightened simply by candlesEgyptians like rest of the Muslims all over the
world fast at holy month of Ramadan, it is the time when they all come close to each other and respect each other, it is the time Egypt stay awake at night.
During this month, donations, almsgiving and charity would be at its highest rates, it is the time for forgiveness and love. It is a wonderful month.


Kristy: well , I really enjoyed the conversation girls.

Huda: yes me too girls I really did

Amal:I knew new information about your countries

Sou Hii: yes I agree with you all

Idioms Conversations





Conversation 1:



Sally: Charlie you really should pay attention in class.



Charlie: Well, I don’t get anything that the teacher is saying.



Sally: You are the only oddball in this class that doesn’t. Everything our teacher teaches is lifted right off the book.



Charlie: Well, it ain’t my fault that the teacher is so blah.



Sally: She isn’t that bad. When it comes to teachers you are just not open-minded.



Charlie: Well, when it comes to teachers you are a suck up, and all the marks you have in this class were handed to you on a silver platter.



Sally: You are just jealous because you can’t get A’s like me.








*******************************************





Conversation 2:



Brian: Hey Angel! Did you hear what happened in Mrs. Bee’s class? Bush and Clint got into a huge spat in the middle of class.



Angel: Yeah I know. Clint challenged Bush to take it outside. This fight is going to be so hype. Gosh, I don’t want to miss it! Do you have any clue as to where the fight might be?



Brian: Hey do you see that huge gathering by the back doors? Come on Angel, let’s get a move on.



(Brain and Angel are amongst the crowd watching Clint and Bush)



Angel: Clint just socked Bush in the head. That should get the ball rolling.



Brian: Ouch! Bush nailed Clint to the floor. They are neck and neck in this fight.



Angel: Well, I’m placing my money on Clint. When it comes down to it, I think Bush is yellow-bellied.



Brian: Well, I guess we’ll never know because the principal is on his way.




*******************************************








Conversation 3:



Sharon: It was just so sunny yesterday! Now, it’s raining cats and dogs out there.



Jason: I guess your date tonight with Jerry is called off, right?



Sharon: Yeah I guess, since we can’t have a picnic now. I’m stuck at home tonight.



Jason: Well I think it’s a good thing. Take this as a sign that you are not ready to be going out with anyone yet. You just broke up with Philip and at the drop of a hat you are with the next guy.



Sharon: What do you have against Jerry, Jason? Stop beating around the bush, and just spill the beans.



Jason: Sharon, I don’t know why you are so naïve. Everyone knows that Jerry is a bad egg. Didn’t you hear what happened at his last two high schools before he transferred to our school.



Sharon: Come on Jason, give the boy a break. People change. Jason, I don’t want to discuss this, can we please just drop it?



Jason: Sure, I don’t want to push this issue.



*******************************************


Conversation 4:



Fred: George, there is so much information being hurled at us in this English class.



Jessica: Yeah, and it’s all going in through one ear and coming out the other, right?



Fred: Actually, it’s all sinking in.



Jessica: Gosh Fred, what happened? You turned over a new leaf or something? You seem to have acquired this sudden thirst for knowledge.



Fred: I know! Out of the blue, I got this sudden interest in English.



Jessica: Well, maybe it’s the night classes that you are taking to brush up on your English. You know what they say: you would like a subject if you were good at it.



Fred: I don’t know why, but I’m secretly hoping to be the apple of our teacher’s eye.



Jessica: Well I know you would bend over backwards to excel at something you like. So I wouldn’t be surprised if you became the teacher’s pet.



*******************************************



Conversation 5:



John: Hey Lizzie! What’s up?



Lizzie: I hate to say it, but my boyfriend is seeing another girl behind my back.



John: I think you have a chip on your shoulder because you are always looking for a fight with him.



Lizzie: No seriously, John. Frank has been giving me the cold shoulder for the last two weeks. I’m holding my breath thinking that he would just get it off his chest, and tell me that he doesn’t love me anymore, so I can just break up with him.



John: Wow, hold your horses. Don’t bark up the wrong tree. First of all, you have no proof that he is cheating on you. Your imagination is working overtime. Maybe, Frank is just going through a rough time at home, and wants some space. You are making a mountain out of a molehill just because you are scared that he might make the same mistake he made last year. Trust me, he learned his lesson.

Can I ask Moon sth?

the thread entitles advanced English conversations, Did you make up the conversations your self, or have you taken them from an English language learning book?

looking forward to hearing back from ya

[M.o_o.N]

Alsalam alykum sister , Here is Miss. Moon :)

About the topic , its advanced because these conversations are meant to be for University students not to be used in schools . As you know school conversations easier and shorter than those above . I copied some from ESL advanced level dialogues. the others are done by me and other members here in previous topics I just copied them here.

[Petunia]

may Allah reward you dear moon

thanks honey soooo much^^



sorry for the delay
:smile (11):


ok listen to this audio


it's for an advanced level about how can they express their ideas by using some phrase



Commenting

Click for Audio (http://www.eslgold.com/images/sp_comm.mp3)

If you would like to make a comment or insert a remark in an ongoing conversation, it

is polite to acknowledge what someone has just said before stating your own ideas.

Some phrases

That's interesting. I think that...

Interesting point. I would add...

Hmmm. I hadn't thought of that before.

Questions can also be a useful way of bringing new ideas into a conversation:

What do you think about . . .

Have you considered . . .

What about . . .

Sometimes a more direct approach is appropriate:

Can I add something here?

(Do you) mind if I interject something here?

[Petunia]

Paraphrasing

If I'm hearing you correctly . . .

[Petunia]

- Have you been watching the news about the oil spill off the American coast?
- Oh, yes, it’s absolutely heartbreaking, isn’t it? It was bad enough to hear there had been an explosion and that eleven people had lost their lives, but the oil slick that’s heading for the Louisiana coastline is going to devastate the wildlife of the area and no doubt ruin the livelihoods of so many people, from fishermen to – well, basically anyone who makes their living from the sea or from tourism along that stretch of coast.
- Oh, I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes! Imagine being lucky enough to live in such a beautiful area, only to have it destroyed, maybe for years to come. I mean, I know they are making some kind of device to contain the slick, and employing all kinds of preventative measures to limit the scale of the damage, but it’s kind of hard to see how any of it could really make such a difference. I would have thought that once the oil had leaked into the sea, no amount of damage limitation could really contain it.

3. Expressing pity for someone who is in a difficult situation: Oh, I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes! (note: please copy the tone and emphasis carefully here.)

[Petunia]

- Isn’t your presentation sometime this week?

- Yes, it is. To be honest I’ve got butterflies in my stomach already, because our CEO will be there and an awful lot hangs on me getting it right on the day. If I do, we could dramatically increase our sales to the client I’m presenting to.

- Well, I really wish you luck with it! As long as you make sure you know your subject inside out and you structure the presentation well, I’m sure you’ll be fine.



.

Situation: two colleagues discussing an important presentation.

Style: general

. .

Functions:
Checking information: Isn’t your presentation sometime this week? (note: a negative question expects a positive answer and is therefore often used as a way of checking or confirming information.)
Being honest: To be honest I’ve got butterflies in my stomach already (note: please copy the tone carefully here)
Wishing luck: Well, I really wish you luck with it! (note: please copy the tone carefully here)
Reassuring: I’m sure you’ll be fine. (note: please copy the tone carefully here)



. .

Notes:
To be honest = frankly speaking (more formal)
butterflies in my stomach (idiom) = a feeling a nervousness that makes my stomach feel uneasy
CEO = Chief Executive Officer (Head of the company)
an awful lot = a great deal (more formal)
hangs on (phrasal verb) = depends on
hangs on me getting it right = hangs on my getting it right (more formal – using “my getting it right” is correct grammar but we usually say “me getting it right”.)
getting it right = doing it correctly (more formal)
If I do (omitting the main verb) = If I get it right on the day
dramatically increase (more emphatic) = increase by a very large amount
the client I’m presenting to (omitting the relative pronoun ‘that’, ‘who’ or ‘whom’)= the client to whom I am presenting (much more formal)
As long as = provided that (more formal) / providing
you make sure = you ensure (more formal)
you know your subject inside out (phrasal verb) = you know your subject extremely well
you structure the presentation well = you give the presentation a clear structure
