Conversation 1
M: Hello Jane。
W: Hello Paul。
M: Please coming。 I’m just getting ready to go home。 Susan is expecting me for dinner。 I wanted to be on time for a change。
W: Look, I’m terribly sorry to drop in this time on Friday, Paul, but it is rather important。
M: That’s OK。 What’s the problem?
W: Well, Paul, I won’t keep you long。 You see there is a problem with the exchange rates。 The Indian Rupee has taken a fall on the foreign exchange market。 You see there is being a sharp increase in Indian’s balance of payment deficit。
M: I see。 How serious, isn’t it?
W: Well, as you know, there have been reports of unrest India, and the prospects for the Rupee look pretty gloomy。
M: And that’s going to affect us, as if we didn’t have enough problems on our hands。
W: So I thought it would be wise to take out forward exchange cover to protect our position on the outstanding contract。
M: Just a minute。 Forward exchange cover, now what does that mean exactly?
W: Well, it means that JO notes enters into a commitment to sell Indian Rupees at the present rate。
M: I see。 And how will that benefit us?
W: Well, JO notes wouldn’t lose out if Indian Rupee falls further。
M: What will it cost, Jane?
W: A small percentage, about 1% and that can be built into the price of the bike。
M: Well, I don’t suppose there is much choice。 All right Jane, let’s put it into action。

Conversation 2
W: Charles, among other things, you regarded as one of the America’s great masters of the blues。 A musical idiom does essentially about loss, particularly the loss of romantic love。 Why does love die?
M: People often get into love affairs because they have unrealistic expectations about somebody。 Then when the person doesn’t turn out to be who they thought he or she was, they start thinking maybe I can change him or her。 That kind of thinking is a mistake。 Because when the dust settles, people are going to be pretty much what they are。 It’s a rare thing for anybody to be able to change who they really are。 And this creates a lot of problems。
W: At 62, you continue to spend a large percentage of your life touring。 What appeals to you about life on the road?
M: Music, I don’t especially love life on the road, but I figure if you are lucky enough to be able to do what you truly love doing, you’ve got the ultimate of life。
W: What’s the most widely-held misconception about the life of a famous musician?
M: People think it’s all glamour。 Actually we have the same troubles they do。 Playing music doesn’t mean life treats you any better。
W: How do you feel about being recognized everywhere you go?
M: You think I be used to it by now。 But I still find it fascinating。 You go to a little town in Japan, where nobody speaks English, yet they know you on side and know all your music。 I’m still amazed by the love people express for me and by music。
