  Mike: Charles; how about a beer before going home?
  Charles: That sounds good。 I didn't meet a single girl tonight。
  Mike: Sarah tried to introduce you; but you're so shy。
  Charles: I know; I know。 I don't want to think about it。 Let's go to a brew pub。
  Mike: What's brew pub?
  Charles: Oh yeah。 I forgot you are a freshman。 A brew pub is bar at restaurant where theybrew  their  own  beer。  They  have  lots  of  different  beers  and  all  of  them  are  fresh  andhomemade。

  (Charles and Mike both wake up late。)
  Mike: Hey; Charles; do you know what time it is?
  Charles: Let me check。 It's twelve fifteen。
  Mike: Damn; I knew we shouldn't have had those last two beers。
  Charles: What? You're the one who insisted we stay until that place closed。
  Mike: Yeah; but you're older than I am。 You should have known better。
  Charles: Okay; whatever you say。 But don't yell at me next time I tell you to stop drinking。
  Mike: Well; I can't promise anything; but I'll try。
  Charles: By the way; don't you have class at one o'clock?
  Mike: Class? What class?
  Charles: Your Sociology class; perhaps?
  Mike: That's right。 I forgot。 How is it that you remember my schedule better than I do?
  Charles: Maybe because you always yell at me if I don't。 Besides; I've been here longerthan you so I'm used to a college schedule。
  Mike: True。 And even if I yell at you that doesn't mean I don't appreciate all your help。 Ireally do。
  Charles: Don't mention it。 I think of you as a little brother。 I have a baby brother who's thesame age as you。
  Mike: Hey; wait a minute。 I'm not baby。~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 17 Going for Coffee
  Mike: Charles; I have time for a cup of coffee; do you?
  Charles: Are you buying?
  Mike: Sure。 It's the least I can do for all your babysitting。
  Charles: I never said you were a baby。 And yes; I'd love some hot coffee。
  Mike: Good; because I know a great cafe that just opened across the street from school。It's called Someday Cafe。
  Charles: Someday Cafe; that's a cool name。 But is the coffee any good?
  Mike: Good? It's great。 I always get the double latte; but their normal coffee is tasty too。
  Charles: Sounds good; let's go。
  (Charles and Mike quickly get dressed and go to the cafe。)
  Employee: Hello; what would you like this afternoon?
  Mike: I'll have a double latte; please。
  Employee: And you?
  Charles: Could I please have a large coffee?
  Employee: Of course。 That's one double latte and one large coffee; right?
  Charles: Right。 How much is that?
  Mike: No; I said that I was paying。
  Employee: Well; that will be four dollars and fifty cents for whoever is paying。
  Mike: That will be me。 Here is five dollars。
  Employee: Thank you。 Here is your change。
  Mike: Thanks。 Charles; let's go sit over by the window。
  Charles: Okay; how about on that sofa?
  Mike: Okay。~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 18 A Political Discussion
  (Charles and Mike go sit down on a sofa by the window。)
  Mike: What do you think about the uping elections?
  Charles: Didn't your parents teach you not to discuss politics in the morning?
  Mike: What do you mean morning? It's already twelve forty。
  Charles: Yes; but I've been awake less than an hour; so to me it is still the morning。
  Mike: Well; that's too bad because this election is important; and I want to talk about it。
  Charles: Yes; I can tell。 You really aren't going to give up; are you?
  Mike: Nope。
  Charles: Okay; then; what is so important that you must talk about it before I finish mycoffee?
  Mike: It's Major Jamison。 He's a thief and he just can't be elected。
  Charles: Listen; Mike。 Politics are politics。 Even if we elect a new major; he will turn outjust the same as Jamison。
  Mike: No; that's not true。 Larry Strauss is running for major too and he's an honest man。
  Charles: You really are a baby。 You are so naive。 Anyone who wants to be a politician isalready dishonest。
  Mike: I don't believe that。 You are only twenty years old。 Why are you so cynical?
  Charles: I'm not cynical; I'm realistic。
  Mike: No; really。 Why are you so sure politicians are dishonest。
  Charles: Well; if you must know; my father is a politician。
  Mike: Really?
  Charles: Yes; really。
  Mike: What does he do?
  Charles: He is a state senator。
  Mike: How long has he been a senator?
  Charles: As long as I can remember。 And he's always been crooked so don't tell me youthink politicians are honest。
  Mike: Look; Charles。 I don't want to talk about politics。
  Charles: What? You're the one who started this discussion。
  Mike: I know; and now I'm ending it。 I have class at one。~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 19 Sociology Class
  (Mike arrives early and takes a seat near the front。)
  Nancy: Hey; Mike; you're never early; what's up?
  Mike:  I  know;  but  I  was  having  a  terrible  discussion  on  politics  with  my  roommateCharles and I just had to run away。 I just can't discuss politics in the morning。
  Nancy: I know what you mean。 I hate talking about politics。 I can't believe Charles woulddo that。
  Mike: Yeah; it's very rude; isn't? Well; that's why I am early。
  (The professor es in and sits at a table at the front of the room。)
  Professor:  Good  afternoon。  Last  week  we  were  discussing  the  theory  of  functionalism。This theory; in brief; states that all people are in a certain socio…economic position for areason。  It  further  states  that  each  of  these  positions  serves  a  function  and  so  shouldnaturally be perserved。 Although such a theory seems valid at first glance; there are manyproblems  with  it。  Today  I  will  like  to  discuss  some  of  the  weak  point  of  the  theory  offunctionalism。 One of these; for example; is that it does not explain the great difference inopportunities given to the rich as opposed to the poor。 Rather ; it assumes that the poorhave  no  money  because  this  is  their  natural  condition。  Can  anyone  think  of  any  moreshortings of functionalism?
  Nancy: Well; it's not only money that they don't have。 If they don't have money; that alsolimits their chances of education; medical care and other important services。
  Professor: Excellent point。 Would anyone like to add something?
  Mike: I think it is all the fault of dishonest politicians。
  Professor: (Looking confused。) Interesting。 I am not sure I understand what you mean; but;yes; many politicians are corrupt。
  Mike: They sure are。 Like my roommate's dad。。。~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 20 The Laundromat
  (Class ends and Mike and Nancy leave together。)
  Nancy: Hey; what are you doing now?
  Mike: Nothing; why?
  Nancy: Oh; I was just going to do my laundry and I was wondering。。。。
  Mike: (Interrupting her。) I'd love to; but there is only one washing machine in our dorm;right?
  Nancy: Right。 But I know of a cool laundromat about a block from school。 How does thatsound?
  Mike: It sounds all right。 What's so cool about this particular place?
  Nancy: Well; while you wash your clothes; you can do a lot of other things too。
  Mike: Other things? Like what?
  Nancy: Well; they have a coffee bar。
  Mike: No。 I just had coffee before class。
  Nancy: They also have a snack bar with really good pizza and sandwiches。
  Mike: Aha; pizza; that's more like it。 I'm really hungry。
  Nancy: Good。 If you e with me; I'll buy you some pizza。
  Mike: It's a deal。 But I should warn you; I eat a lot。
  Nancy: That's all right。 I just got paid at work yesterday so I have some extra money。
  Mike: I wish my girlfriend had some extra money sometimes … I pay for everything。
  Nancy: Maybe you should think about getting a new girl friend。
  Mike: Don't say that。 Sarah is a great girl。
  Nancy: I know。 I was only joking。
  Mike: Oh; good。~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
