Sample 1: Bank Account Opening Enquiry

Bank Manager: Good morning! Please come in. How may I help you?

Rohan Singh: Good Morning! I would like to open a savings account with your bank, but I find the process very confusing.

Bank Manager: Please take a seat. The process is very simple actually. All you have to do is fill a savings account opening form and submit it with photocopies of your ID proofs and two passport-sized photographs.

Rohan Singh: Which ID proofs should I get along?

Bank Manager: We will need one photocopy each of your ration card, PAN card, and Aadhar card.

Rohan Singh: Ok, that sounds easy. Where will I get the account opening form?

Bank Manager: The clerk sitting at the desk opposite the cash counter will give it to you.

Rohan Singh: What is the minimum deposit amount for opening an account?

Bank Manager: For a savings account, it is only 500 rupees. However, this amount cannot be withdrawn unless you wish to close your account permanently.

Rohan Singh: What are the other facilities that I would be provided if I open an account?

Bank Manager: Apart from your cheque book, SBI will provide you with an ATM/debit card, internet banking, and phone banking facility.

Rohan Singh: Thanks a lot! You have really simplified the procedure for me.

Bank Manager: The pleasure is entirely mine.

Sample 2: Christmas Party Discussion

Mother: Looks like you had a lot of fun at school today. How was the Christmas party?

Priya: It was truly spectacular, mother. The children from the primary section enacted the Christmas story at the assembly.

Mother: Oh! That must have been really beautiful.

Priya: It was! Not only that; after a short speech by our school leader on the significance of Christmas, the school band played carols on their instruments. Mumma, you should have heard them, for a moment I felt like heaven had come down to Earth.

Mother: That does sound exceptional. I understand what you mean. Your school has the reputation of excelling in whatever it does.

Priya: Yes, mumma, it was! After that we went to our class. There we played games with our teacher. It was great fun. We also had crib making and classroom decoration competitions.

Mother: So, they kept y’all busy the whole day. Did they give y’all any snacks to eat?

Priya: Yes, they gave us Fruity, samosas, wafers, cake, and chocolates. I got many gifts from Santa Claus as well. He kept throwing them in all directions.

Mother: Well Priya, I’m glad that you had so much fun.

Priya: That I did, wait mumma there is more. I forgot to show you the gift I got. Every standard received a different toy. We received Brainvita. Playing this game is so much fun.

Mother: So, I see you opened it in school itself.

Priya: Yes! Everyone did. We were so engrossed in it that we did not even realise when the bell rang at the end of the day.

Mother: That’s very nice. Be sure to thank your teachers when you go to school next for all the effort they put in.

Sample 3: Doctor Consultation

Dr Shastri: This is the third time in two months you have come to me complaining of stomach ache, Jitesh. Have you been eating frequently from outside?

Jitesh: I have my lunch from the school canteen, doctor.

Dr Shastri: How is the food in taste and appearance?

Jitesh: The food tastes good, except that it is spicy sometimes. Often, it is soaked in excess oil.

Dr Shastri: No wonder you are falling sick so often, Jitesh! Eating spicy food regularly upsets your digestive system. Does the oil in the food smell abnormal?

Jitesh: I don’t know really. But yes, my throat often aches after eating a meal that had excess oil.

Dr Shastri: That is due to the poor quality of oil being used to make the food. Jitesh, you should stop eating from the canteen at once. If possible, eat home-cooked food and for a few weeks only eat light meals.

Jitesh: Okay, doctor. What can I include in my diet for the next few days?

Dr Shastri: Have home-cooked food with minimum spices. Avoid over intake of fibrous foods as they are heavy to digest. Have plenty of water and fruits. In a couple of weeks, your system will be back to normal.

Jitesh: Thank you, Doctor. I will avoid eating from outside henceforth.

Dr Shastri: Yes, you should. Here are your medicines. In addition, please also engage in light exercise once a day so that you remain fit.

Jitesh: I will do that, doctor. Thank you for your time and consultation.

Dr Shastri: Take care and get well soon, Jitesh!

Sample 4: Conversation with a Beggar

Satish: Excuse me, what is your name, sir?

Beggar: My name is Dinesh Kumar. Why do you ask? You don’t need my name to curse me.

Satish: I do not wish to curse you, Mr Kumar. I never saw you here before. You intrigue me; therefore, I want to know more about you. Who are you and why are you begging here?

Beggar: I cannot recollect the last time somebody called me by that name.

Satish: Tell me something about yourself.

Beggar: You know my name. Many years ago, I used to be a successful businessman dealing in scrap metals. The business was booming and I was surrounded by friends. I got married to a woman I loved and she bore me two children. I was a very good father fulfilling every desire my children had.

Satish: What changed that?

Beggar: I had a daughter and a son. When they got married, things started changing. Both of them vied for my business and property which I bequeathed to them. Once my son had control of my business, he ousted me. My daughter too, whom I gave my palatial house, threw me and my wife out.

Me: Where did you go from there?

Beggar: My friends deserted me since I had no money. So, I begged for a living making enough to buy us two meals a day. My wife eventually succumbed to illnesses leaving me all alone in this world. At this age, I cannot beg. Sometimes I wait for death to catch up with me.

Secretary: You will have to wait for some time since Mr Jack is in a meeting right now.

Reporter: How long will the meeting last?

Secretary: It should be over in about 15 minutes.

Reporter: That’s fine with me.

Mr Shah: Oh yes! We have recently opened an activity club for children of all age groups. I will be able to explain it to you further if you can tell me what exactly you are looking for?

Sushant: My son has a lot of free time, and since both my wife and I are working, we would like to enrol him in a creative club.

S. Kaushik: We would be happy to oblige. What would you like to know?

Sushant: First, where exactly are you located?

Mr Shah: Our club is located on the ground floor of Pravin Apartments, which is about 2–3 minutes’ walk from the Santa Cruz railway station.

Sushant: Okay, could you give me some more details of the place?

Mr Shah: We have converted a 1BHK flat into our club area furnished with colourful toys and other amenities. We also have a large garden at the back which can be accessed only through our flat.

Sushant: The place sounds safe enough. What activities do y’all teach?

Mr Shah: We teach all forms of dance, singing, and craft. It’s an extensive list. I suggest you visit us once since it is impossible for me to list everything we do on a call.

Sushant: Okay, I will do that. Thank you for the information. I will call you back once I make up my mind.

Sample 7: School Friends Reunion

Shweta: Indeed it is. How are you and what have you been up to?

Anjua: I am great. Do you remember the paintings I made for pleasure in school?

Shweta: Yes I do, and I always told you what a great artist you would be one day?

Anjua: Well, I guess you were right there.

Shweta: What do you mean?

Anjua: After college, I studied painting from J. J. School of Art and today I am a professional painter.

Shweta: Oh really? That’s great news. I never doubted your potential.

Anjua: I know, and I believe that the confidence you showed in me was one of the factors which encouraged me to conquer my dreams.

Shweta: Don’t flatter me. This is all the fruit of your hard work.

Anjua: I am not. Believe me. I never considered my drawings of any consequence. It was you who saw the talent in me and gave me the boost I needed.

Shweta: Well then, I guess I deserve a treat.

Anjua: You deserve more than that, but a treat is surely in order.

Shweta: Let’s have coffee.

Sample 8: Story Competition Discussion

Omkar: Hey what are you doing? Would you like to come out to play?

Arvind: No. I’m a little busy right now. I’m writing a story for tomorrow’s storytelling competition.

Omkar: You have been working on that since last week. How much more will you edit it?

Arvind: It’s a suspense story, Omkar. It has to be perfect or else it will lose its charm.

Omkar: That is true, but I have full faith in your skills. After all, you have been winning this competition for so many years now.

Arvind: That’s true. But that does not give me a reason to be careless with my work, does it?

Omkar: Yes you are right, but overdoing it is also dangerous, don’t you think?

Arvind: What do you mean?

Omkar: I mean you are so focused on this competition that you are neglecting every other thing like food, play, and your studies.

Arvind: I guess you have a point, Omkar. Come on, let’s go out.

Omkar: Finally! Let’s go.

Police Officer: Describe your handbag and give me a list of any important belongings which it contained.

Pooja: My handbag is blue. It had my cell phone and about three thousand rupees.

Police Officer: Is that it? Did it have any other things?

Pooja: Nothing of much importance. But I need my cell phone; the data in it is extremely important to me.

Police Officer: I will look into the matter and see what I can do. Did you see the thief?

Pooja: Yes, I noticed that he was of average height, middle-aged, and wore a dirty grey t-shirt. He had medium tangled hair and a small bruise over his right eyebrow.

Police Officer: Will you be able to recognise him if we find them?

Sample 10: Interschool History Quiz

Teacher: Rani, are you ready for the interschool history quiz?

Rani: No Miss, I am not. I had jaundice last month, and therefore, I couldn’t prepare for it.

Teacher: You are our best student, Rani. You have to participate. How long will you take to prepare?

Rani: Miss, please give me some extension. I am working on it, but I need some more time.

Teacher: Rani, I would love to give you time. But I’m sorry I cannot; the date for the quiz is finalized by the principals of all the schools participating.

Rani: I would really love to participate, but I am not prepared and it will be wrong on my part to spoil the school’s name this way.

Rani: Thank you for your support, Miss.
