What was it about the New York professional set when it came to punctuality and romance? This was Susan's third date in mid-town Manhattan and the third time she'd been kept waiting over half an hour. In most situations you try to be a little flexible, sure, but thirty minutes? On a first date? It was as if this section of the city existed in a private bubble where the normal rules of social courtesy simply didn't apply. She glared at her watch and resolved to wait another five minutes, no more....

@sasdsad,We try to highlight actual native speech at the intermediate level. If you're having trouble following along, you can find line-by-line recordings of the dialogues on the transcript pages of all lessons. They are spoken in a bit slower and more emotionally neutral tone, so might be easier to follow if you're just starting out.

A very good lesson, hope to see more intermediate lessons soon.By the way, don't listen to "sasdsad" :D I believe it's a right thing to have actual native speech in the dialogue and not some unrealistic slow-motion dialogues.These dialogs are already too perfect (comparing to real life street Cantonese), so you don't want to give up on speed and other reality aspects.

Excellent - look forward to more intermediate lessons too. Also agree - stick to 'actual native speech'!
