MATCH UP DIALOGUE PARTS TABLE 1
PART 1 (first sentence)
I came across an odd theory in a fashion book the other day. | I can’t do this menial job! It is a matter of principle! | What an ostentatious car! Mere mortals don’t drive vehicles like this! | This computer costs $4000. |
This much-maligned scientist’s approach has finally been acknowledged as sane. | I was riding the elevator and this dis-embodied albeit familiar voice spoke to me! It bore resem-blance to the voice of my dead mother. | She shops at thrift stores hunting for bargains. People goggle at her because her clothes are always dirty and mismatched. | This woman is an epitome of down-to-earthness and matter-of-factness. |
This boxer’s a lefty. His opponents are invariably thrown off by this. | We only have 5 terrestrial channels. They don’t provide for a good pastime. | Her skill at getting entangled in senseless pursuits is legendary. | He wants to sublet me his apartment for a lower price. |
PART 2 (reply, reaction)
Don’t fall for this artifice! If you sign the contract, you will be the new renter and the landlord will ask for the full amount! | How does her husband live with her? He’s a hedonistic person full of self-indulgence. | It’s just a means to an end. I created an image of myself that I cannot deviate from. | Yes, I heard of the warty-realism of his view of the so-called “retail therapy”. |
Yeah, I watch this pottering program. It’s not bad per se but as a whole I am inclined to agree with you. | Yes, she spends minimum on inessentials, manages her own financial affairs and never calls anybody just to chat. | Right. Now she’s trying to sell her old house at an extortionate price no one’s gonna pay. | Yes, and the lad’s talented, he’s gonna make it even in the cut-throat boxing world competition. |
What a rip-off! | So, did she yell at you for being a naughty boy? | What, about the kind of clothes models wouldn’t be seen dead in? | You prefer to stay at home performing recurring domestic chores? |

PART 1 (first sentence)
Mary called me and asked to convey the following message: she’s seething with righteous indignation at James’ behaviour the other night. | She was so effusive in her gratitude that it instantly made me wary. | Did you like James? I though you talk went rather amicably. | There was a public uproar when people found out he’d never bought anybody a round. |
She’s a shrewd guide of human character but generally displays reluctance when asked for her opinion about someone. | Can we bypass the meeting by going straight to the Director? Or is it an outrage against corporate etiquette? | I cringe with embarrassment every time I witness his loutishness. | I can’t do it now. I am hedged about with lots of problems. For instance, my car broke down and I have to pool to work. |
I need to spend some quality time with my kids. Maybe throw them a fête. | What’s on the agenda today? And who’s keeping the minutes? | What’s the system here? | This athlete is an underdog in this competition yet he’s overtly very calm. |

True. In our circle he came to be known as “The Ogre”. | But leaving all these material issues aside, are you OK? | It’s winner stays on. | Don’t be! She’s just an exalted women and it’s her typical comportment. |
Yes, I remember. She struck up a conversation with him and he got pissed off at her because she frowned upon some swear words he used. | Well, I can’t say I wholeheartedly agree. By following the normal procedure I think we’ll end up rather better off than if we try to circumvent it. | You can’t imagine the fervour he trained with and the bewilderment that everybody will experience when he wins. | It didn’t. Our conversation was very stilted. He’s a stiff-upper-lipped bastard who wants to appear manly in his miserliness. |
I’ll get a couple of these pre-mixed drinks in her and she’ll tell me all I want to know. | So the rough idea is to hire a clown who’s entertaining them while you sprawl on the lounge chair sipping on a whisky? | Well he himself only buys soft-drinks… Well, OK, he can’t be credited with much generosity. | Today we are talking about the precautions one needs to take when expressing elation at a football stadium. |
