- Hi, I havent seen you for a few weeks. Have you moved to
a different department?
- No, I havent, but our department has moved to a different
part of the building. We used to be on the second floor, but
now we are on the third floor.
- What is your new office like?
- Its bigger than the last one, but that is because our
department has expanded.
Situation: Two colleagues, Amanda and Sam, meet in the corridor at work.
She tells Sam about her new office.
Style: friendly and quite informal
..
Notes:
1.I havent seen you for a few weeks = it is a few weeks since I last saw you
2.a different department = a different section of the company
3.I havent, ( using only the auxiliary verb) = I have not moved to a new
department
4.We used to be = In the past we were
5.on the second floor = located on the 2nd level of the building. (note: The
ground floor is at the same level as the ground, in other words, the same
level as the street. The first floor is up one level of stairs, and The second
floor is up 2 levels of stairs. Be careful because in many countries the
system is different, so The first floor is at ground level!)
6.on the third floor = located on the 3rd level of the building.
7.What is your new office like? = Please describe your new office
8.the last one = the last office / the office that I was in before
9.has expanded. (more formal) = has grown / has got bigger (informal)

Shopping in America
Anna: Hi Masahiro! How's it going?
Masahiro: Fine, I guess. How about you?
Anna: Busy. Guess who's coming our way?
Will: Hi guys! What's up?
Anna: Nothing much. We just ran into each other.
Will: That's nice. So Masahiro, how's the coffee maker working?
Masahiro: Actually, it doesn't work well. It was a waste of money.
I guess I should have shopped around for a good one.
Anna: Why don't you take it back?
Masahiro: I'd like to, but I've misplaced the receipt.
Will: Well, if it's any consolation, my shopping wasn't all that great
either. I wish I'd never bought Stephanie a necklace. Just last
night she was telling me how she wished she had Liz Taylor's new
perfume.
Anna: That makes three displeased shoppers. Guess what? The
camera I bought and shipped to Mike just this morning is now on
sale! It's a pity that I bought it then. Then again, I guess I shouldn't
complain. It was a good buy, even though I didn't get the best deal
on it. Anyway, Masahiro, I suggest you look for that receipt and
just go to the Complaints Department and say "I'd like to exchange
this, please." It's as simple as that. And Will, it's not too late for
you to ask for a refund.
