This dialogue is about the business. The vocabulary is not difficult, even for the beginners. However, I still learn some terms and phrases about business.
1. brisk business -- It means a lot of business.
2. banner (adj.) + sth -- It means somthing better than expected.
3. launch -- to start (a new project, or business)
4. new line of software -- "line" here represents a group of related product
5. keep up with -- able to reach what you have require to do
6. fly off shelves -- sell something very quickly
7. singing a different tune -- having different experiences
8. foot traffic -- number of people coming to store
9. all the rage -- suddenly become very popular.
10. passé -- something is no longer fasionable
11. fickle -- something changable, and changes often
12. sob story -- the story which would get your sympathy
These are the interesting phrases I have learned from the dialogue. I do think it is a good website for self learning becuase the explanation is very clear and detailed. However, for the intermediate and advanced learners, the speaking speed is too slow.
