Express doubt and persuade

William: Hey, Tis, what on earth is that?

Tis: Oh, I got this morning. What do you think? Do you like it?

William: Mmm. I'm not convinced.

Tis: Don't you think it's interesting?

William: Er, sort of, but I'm not sure about the face - it's a bit mad.

Tis: Oh, come on! It isn't that bad. It's really colorful. It's good to have a new picture, anyway.

William: I suppose so.

Tis: Don't worry, it'll be fine. It'll grow on you.

William: OK. We'll see.

Recommend and express preferences

William: Hey, Tis, have you seen any good films recently?

Tis: Yes, one or two. Have you?

William: No. What about this one? Is it any good?

Tis: I'd only recommend that if you like really bad musicals.

William: No, I don't fancy that.

Tis: Here you are. You might prefer this.

William: What's that? Mission to Planet Q? No, I'm not a big fan of science fiction. I'd prefer a comedy.

Tis: A comedy... er... OK, well, try this one. It's got a really funny plot. I think you'll like it.

William: OK. I'll trust you. Thanks, Tis.

Tis: No problem.

Talk about plans and arrangements

William: Hi, Mr Johnson. Have you got a minute?

Mr. Tis: Hello, William. What can I do for you?

William: Im doing a ten-kilometre run for charity next week, and I'm looking for sponsors.

Mr. Tis: That's very good, William. What's it for?

William: It's for a children charity.

Mr. Tis: And when are you running?

William: I'm running next Sunday. I'm hopping to raise about 150 pounds. Will you sponsor me?

Mr. Tis: Yes, OK. It sounds like a good cause. I hope you finish it!

William: I'm going to try! Some friends are going to do it too.

Mr. Tis: Good luck, William.

William: Thanks.

Biography

Albert Einstein was born in Germany (1879) and died in U.S.A. (1955). He was the best physicist of the twentieth century. When he was young, he was excellent in the areas of physics and mathematics, but he wasn't good in the other areas.

In 1905, he published the special "theory of relativity", "the brownian moving", "the photoelectric effect" and the most famous formula, "E=mcc". Only for the work of photoelectric effect he got the Nobel prize.

He married Mileva in 1904. They had two children: Hans and Eduard. Eduard was schizophrenic.

In his last days he thought about the unification of the theories of the four fundamental forces.
