R: Beauty costs, dear! What do you think of this dress? Do you think it suits me?
K: yeah, it's lovely, but to be frank, it's not the most practical. You don't have many formal events in your calendar, do you?
R: come on, you sound like my Mom.Look at that, it's beautiful!
K: when you buy clothes, you must think about the material, quality and price.
R: maybe you have a point.
K: make sure you buy what you need and your clothes can be worn for various occasions.
R: all right. How about this black shirt? It can be worn for anything---a party, a job interview and even a funeral!
K: that's true, but you already have two balck coats and one black sweater.
R: oh! Hey, look, that's the same shirt Britney wore in her concert.
K: exactly! Oh, my god! I love Britney! I'm going to get it.
R: why not try it on?
K: it's just the right size--a perfect fit! I'll take it. Oh, no,I'm a little short. Did you bring your credit card?
R: yes.
K: I promise I'll pay you back as soon as we get home.

O: oh, I love him too. He not only sings well but shows perseverance when he encounters difficulties in the contest.
G: yeah, he got booted after his initial performance in the audition, but he did not give up. He then tried at another two auditions.
O: he had barely survived the third audition and finally got a chance to advance in the contest. Fortunately, in the third audition, he has won
popularity among the audience. And that's when I started to notice him.
G: me too.
O: before he made the top three, I was so nervous. I just fear that he might be knocked out.
G: yeah,there're so many excellent candidates out there. Who knows which one will make it to the final?
O: absolutely. That's why when he entered the final, I was so excited.
G: he really did a great job in the finale, especially in the PK round. He perfored so well that the majority of the audience cast their votes for him.
O: and the host announced that he won it all!

J: but you said your dream was to be an entrepreneur, to be your own boss.
S: I'll do it someday. But it's not the right time now. I have to learn a lot by working as an employee.
J: it sounds like you've got a perfect plan.
S: you could say so.I'll work hard in that company and try to understand as much as possible about how to run an enterprise.
J: it can save you lots of time and effort to simply copy a successful business model.
S: yeah,the success stories of that company might be useful for me. And their customers may become the potential ones for my own company.
J: that's right. You should establish good relationships with them. what else are you planning to do while working for that company?
S: well, I'll come up with a detailed business plan to attract the investors.
J: sounds perfect. I think with all that you have in mind, you'll become a successful businessman. By then,perhaps, I'll join in as a partner of your company.

B:everything's great.I've just returned from my office.
E: your office?Aren't you a freelancer?
B: sure I am. I work for myself, but I've rented a virtual office at an office building in the downtown area.
E: a virtual office?
B: yeah, an office that runs efficiently by using nothing other than online communication technologies. I pay the rent and share office services with others in the same building.
E: what kind of services do they offer?
B: a separated office, internet access, phone services, fax services, mail & courier services, and almost everything you have in a conventional office.
E: sounds fun.what else?
B: I get a business address at an expensive location, and I can share the receptionist and secretary with other offices in the same floor.
E: oh, that helps a lot to promote your "corporate image".
B: you bet it!
