user: Problem: M: What do you think of the food today?  W: You have to ask. About as terrible as usual, I'd say.  M: You know, I think it's about time a group of us speak to some University officials about the quality of the food.  W: Do you have a good idea?  M: In my view, we had better get rid of the manager.  W: Do you think you are the first to think of that? The problem is that the University doesn't want to change another manager.  M: You mean you've been through this before?  W: Yes, when I was a freshman, I once did that. I once wrote a letter to the Student Services Official and presented a petition signed by 200 students.  M: What was his reaction?  W: He asked me why all the other students didn't sign it as well. I told him we only had time for a sample, but I was sure almost all the students would have.  M: Why was he so cool towards you? Isn't it a serious question?  W: That manager has good friends in the University. You know family connections.  What was said before this conversation?

W: Could you do me a real favor, please?


input question: M: Well, I can't exactly go to hang with my friends at some of the places we used to go to, and just basically raise hell and have a whole bunch of fun. I can't do that any more because it's not good for the public to see that. It's not good for me.  W: Your father said you have the ability to be one of the biggest influences in history, not just golf, humanity. What do you think of that?  M: I think that is more important than just my golf. I think my golf is merely a vehicle to influence people  W: How?  M: How? Oh, so many kids look up to role models, so I can help out kids in a positive way, I can influence their lives in a positive way, and I think that's what it's about.  W: I mean you are only 21, what's the goal? Where do you go?  M: Keep winning.  W: But you know, at a certain point, doesn't lose its thing...?  M: Winning never gets old and having fun never gets old either. And you always have fun.  W: And playing these tournaments is with all the apprehension and everything, still fun?  M: Always. The day it's not fun is the day I quit And it's been fan since I was in the high chair. And it's fun today.  What was said before this conversation????

[Q]: Alex: By saving water.  Interviewer: Well, how can we do that?  Alex: By not using too much water when we wash dishes, take a bath, and when we do other things, like watering the plants outside.  Interviewer: Oh, I think I can do that. What else?  Alex: When drinking or eating something outside, you should keep the garbage until you find a trashcan to put it in because littering makes our planet dirty. Do you like seeing trash all over the ground?  Interviewer: No, I don't. Do you have any final suggestions?  Alex: Yes. We shouldn't waste paper because trees are being cut down to make the paper. By recycling paper, we save the forests where animals live.  Interviewer: So, how can children recycle paper, I mean, everyday?  Alex: Well, for example, when I was in kindergarten, I used to save the newspapers so that I could make things make out of them, like paper trees, instead of just throwing them away. Now, the children in our neighborhood collect newspapers once a month to take them to a recycling center.  Interviewer: That's great. Well thanks Alex for your ideas.
