  2. Looks like some conversation models from typical conversation books...hehe sorry, I'm not being rude or sarcastic (am I?). I just think such conversation models much too awkward, stiff, frozen on so many levels...
    I prefer learning conversations by watching western series or movies with English subtitles. It works, give it a shot!
