lesson 14: Plans and Decisions
Basic patterns
I'll keep thinking about it
we may just share my car for a while
we need need to start a college fund for Tyler
do you know what you're doing after graduation?
i haven't made up my mind yet
I'll let you know what I decide
i have to make a difficult choice
decide quickly
I hadn't anticipated that
what do you plan to do about this mess?
disaster was a result of poor planning
I plan to take the next train out of here
I intend to buy a new house
i have only the best intentions
everything is going according to plan
Dialogue 1
what are you reading honey ?
it's something set by the University of Ohio dad
I thought you were thinking about going to Florida State University
I was but this looks interesting
why is that?
it's hard to say I think I just like the feel of Ohio better
is that all, no other difference?
well I think ohio has the better biology department than florida
is that what you want to study ?
I think so, but I may change to my mind after four years
just make sure you decide on something you enjoy, that's the most important thing
that's also the most difficult thing I'll keep thinking about it
Dialogue 2:
today was just awful
why? what happened ?
I was two hours late for work that's stupid car broke down again
agian, we just had it serviced last month
I think we need to give up and admit that the car has died
yeah I guess you're right
do you think we can afford another ?
we may just have to share my car for awhile
yes but that's awfully inconvenient
I agree but what can we do?
my friend's father owns a car dealership maybe he can help us
maybe we can afford too much right now.
Dialogue 3:
do you know what we need to do ?
what ?
we need to start a college fund for Tyler
but he's not yet four years old, he won't be in college for another fourteen years
yes but it's never too early to start saving
do you really think so ?
I just read an article about how expensive colleges already it's only going to get more expensive
I have heard that some families start very early saving for college
I think we should as well if you want I'll call an accountant tomorrow
ok give him a call and see what he says
Dialogue 4:
hey Sean do you know what you're doing after graduation?
no idea what about you?
actually I've been considering a job in China
really, doing what?
teaching English
are you going to take the job?
I'll probably take it, it's a big change
I don't know anything about the place
I think I like it how bad could it be
it's probably a good opportunity and you won't have a better time later in life
that's probably true I think it could be interesting
anyway it sounds better than my plans, good luck
Dialogue 5
i'm thinking about quitting my job
well this is a sudden decision
actually I've been sort of thinking about it for a little while
you could have told me earlier
I'm telling you now anyway I haven't made up my mind yet
why do you want to quit ?
I'm just not happy there I don't think I have much of a future with my company
what do you think you want to do?
I don't know I haven't really thought about it
well you probably should think about it before you do anything too drastic

Monologue:
what is a biggest challenges for many American parents is paying for their child's college education, over the past two decades ,college costs have risen greatly, only the wealthier families can afford to pay for college directly from their income, most other families have to pay indirectly, many students have some of their education and a few have all paid for by scholarships , money they receive and do not need to pay back, this can come from many sources. more commonly students and their families have to take out a variety of loans which can take years to pay back, the problem is that the best schools are not affordable for poor students . unless they receive the scholarship for some exceptional ability . this can be a problem later in life for getting the best jobs.
