DIALOG SAMPLES FOR YOUR FINAL ORAL EXAM:

Dialog One: TALKING ABOUT WEEKEND PLANS/MOVIES

A: I hope it won’t rain this weekend.
B: Why? Do you have a special plan?
A: Yes, I do.
B: What are you going to do?
A: I am planning to go to the beach with my girlfriend on Saturday and I should go on a picnic with my parents on Sunday.
B: Well, if it rains, why don’t you go to the museum? Or you could see a movie.
A: You are right. What are you doing this weekend?
B: I don’t have any special plans. I am probably going to sleep in on both day. On Saturday afternoon I am going to meet my friends.
A: Oh, that’s nice. What are you going to do with your friends?
B: First, we’ll play basketball and then we’ll go see a movie.
A: Which movie are you going to see?
B: I don’t yet. Any movie but not horror. I hate horror movies.
A: Me, too. My favourite genre is romantic comedy.
B: You are kidding, right? I thought guys didn’t like romantic comedies. I thought they like action and thriller movies.
A: I do, too. But, I also like romantic comedy. My favourite is Love Actually.
B: Mine, too. It’s a good movie. The actors are fantastic.
A: I agree. Do you prefer watching movies in the theater or at home?
B: I like watching movies at home. I can make popcorn, I can stop the movie, rewind… go to the bathroom.
A: True, but I still prefer the movie theater. I like movie projected onto the big screen.
B: Isn’t it expensive?
A: Yes, but I love it, so I don’t mind spending money on it. I like watching blockbusters in the movie theater.
B: Well, how about you and me going to the movie together?
A: You mean on a date?
B: Yes. I will buy popcorn and drinks, and you can pay for the tickets.
A: Sounds good to me. Let’s do it soon.
B: O.K. Now, bye, I have to go. I have a class.

DIALOG TWO sample: TALKING ABOUT IDEAL PARTNER AND DATING

A: Who was that handsome guy with you at the party last night?
B: The handsome guy? Was he tall and blonde, with long curly hair and mustache?
A: No, he wasn’t tall. He was medium-height. He had straight short black hair and he wore glasses.
B: Oh, that one? He’s my brother, Jung-ho. Why do you ask about him? Do you like him?
I thought your type of man was different: tall, blonde, blue-eyed, not someone like my brother.
A: I thought that, too. But, I really liked your brother. I think he’s really cute.
B: Cute? Oh, no. You don’t know him. He’s really very selfish. He never lets me drive his car, AND he has three!
A: Three cars?! Wow! He must be very rich.
B: Yes. He did well in business. He has a big house downtown, a ski cottage and a beach house. But, he’s really a very bad person. He never calls our parents and never helps us with anything.
A: So, why was he there with you at the party last night.
B: He wasn’t with me. He came to the party because our cousin invited him. He just came over to say hello for about 2 minutes. Believe me, you wouldn’t like him.
A: But, I already like him. Are you going to introduce me to him?
B: Sure, if you want. Why don’t we find him now? Let’s go.
A: Wait, wait. I am too nervous. Maybe I am not his type. I am short and chubby, and fingers are very short. My knuckles are very big.
B: Don’t worry. His eyes are so bad, he can’t see well.
A: O.K. then. I would like to meet him now. Should I go to the bathroom and check my make up?
B: No, no. You look fine. Let’s go.
