Mike: Hey Joey... Joey: Mike! What are you doing here? Mike: My wife and I thought we'd get a bite to eat. Joey, this is my wife Susan. Susan: Nice to finally meet you, Joey. Mike's told me a lot about you. How is the practice? Joey: Huh? Mike: Nothing. Joey: Oh, nice to meet you too, Susan. Mike's told me a lot about you too. Susan: Really? Good things I hope! Joey: Of course! Look at how happy he is now! He was miserable when he was with Michelle... Susan: Who's Michelle? Mike: Nobody. Nobody important. Don't the desserts look great? Joey: So Mike told me he picked you up with his good-old hot-coffee-on-the-boyfriend trick. Susan: What? Mike: Um. Do you want to order dessert, honey? Joey: Been using that trick for years. He first used it back in elementary school with Mary Myers. Of course, it wasn't hot coffee, but rather...what was it? Ah! Chocolate milk! That's right. Susan: You spilled coffee on my then-boyfriend and acted like a gentleman! Now I find out you planned it! Is that how you pick up girls? Joey: Now, now, Susan. You can't blame the guy. Look at him. He's ugly as sin. Would you have talked to him otherwise? Susan: What? Mike: No, Susan. I didn't do it on purpose, I swear! Joey: There's nothing to be ashamed of, Mike. You ought to be proud of yourself. Susan: You snake! I never want to see you again! Mike: Susan, come back! Joey: Can I order some chicken wings? I'm starving... --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101! Don't forget to stop by EnglishClass101.com for more great English Language Learning Resources!

Isabel: Me too, sweetie, I was being impulsive before. Dave: And I really should have considered your feelings more when I was talking to you. Isabel: Anyhow, it's ancient history now. I'm glad I got to come out to see you in Oregon for election night… Dave: Oh look, the polls are closing soon! I'm so excited! This campaign has been such a rush, and election nights always give me pins and needles. Isabel: Calm down! I know what you're talking about, though. It is fun to watch the returns come in. I don't think quite as much is at stake for me though... Dave: Yeah, that's for sure. It's going to be close too; I'm so nervous that I'm shaking like an earthquake. What do you think about the rest of the country? Who do you think is going to win nationally? Isabel: I think that if the Democrats can win in Ohio, they'll win nationwide; it's such a bellwether state. Dave: Maybe, but if they take Ohio but lose in Florida, it will be really tough to see who gets a majority. Isabel: Yeah, it's just a shame that the Democrats struggle in the South. If the Democrats won in Alabama, they could win anywhere. This year it's a toss-up; anything could happen. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!

Mark: There was no possibility that Congress could pass it. Sheila: What do you mean? We have a majority in the House and the Senate! Mark: That's true, but our majority isn't filibuster-proof. Sheila: But the bill already survived the House! We worked really hard to pass it! Mark: I know, I know...but the fact of the matter is that we don't have sixty votes in the Senate. Sheila: (sighs) But we aren't even trying to get it through! Mark: The leadership said that they would filibuster any legislation that even smells like a tax hike. It would be a waste of time. Sheila: Ugh...it's just so frustrating! Mark: Chill out, Sheila! You still have a job! It will be okay! Sheila: I know...I just put a lot of effort into that bill; it's sad to see that it was for naught. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!

The Commonwealth is nicknamed the "Mother of Presidents" because eight U.S. presidents were born here. Virginia was named for England's Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I. The capital of Virginia is Richmond. The largest city is Virginia Beach. Other large cities include Norfolk, Chesapeake, Arlington, Newport News, Hampton, Alexandria, Portsmouth, and Roanoke. The 2010 census indicates the population of Virginia is 8,001,024. Geographically, Virginia is divided into five regions—the Tidewater, Piedmont, Ridge and Valley, Cumberland Plateau, and Blue Ridge Mountains. The economic resources of this area include government, military, farming, and business. Virginia has a high concentration of technical workers due to software, communication technology, and consulting companies located here. The Commonwealth has over 47,000 farms, which produce tomatoes, soy, peanuts, hay, and tobacco. The economic staple of the Chesapeake Bay area is oysters, and wineries and vineyards boost the economy in the Northern Neck. In northern Virginia, many residents work for government offices, such as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Department of Defense (DOD), United States Patent and Trademark Offices, and various other federal agencies. The naval base located in Norfolk is the largest naval base in the world. This area was established as a colony in 1607 by the London Company. Virginia was one of the original thirteen colonies at the time of the American Revolution. Virginia was named a state in 1788. Virginia joined the Confederacy in the American Civil War, and Richmond was named the Confederate capital. At this time, the northwestern area of Virginia separated from Virginia and became West Virginia. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!
