input question: W: Sure. What are you handing these out for? M: Well, we're trying to gather some volunteers for the day care center. W: Uh... M: It's OK. You don't have to volunteer if you eat the candies. W: I'm just playing around. Actually, I have some free time in the mornings after I go jogging. What exactly do you need? M: It's wide open right now, everything from playground assistants to diaper changers. W: Oh, I might pass on the latter. But spending some time on the playground with some small kids might be fun. M: Well, you're quite warm-hearted. I haven't even mentioned the benefits but you're volunteering. W: Oh, well, what are the benefits? M: Well, since you said you'd be likely to take a morning shift, there would be a free breakfast personally prepared by the cook. W: Great! What was said before this conversation????
output answer: M: Hi, would you like some free candies?

input question: W: Well, it is pretty cold for much of the year. But during the summer, it's just as warm as it is in states like Washington and Oregon. M: Interesting. The days are really long right now. I don't think the sun has been down for more than a few hours the whole time I've been here. W: Yeah, that's another interesting thing about the summers here. We're so far north that we're exposed to the sun for almost the entire day. In winter, the opposite is true. M: You mean it's dark the whole time? W: Well, not the whole time... but maybe for two-thirds of every day from December to February. M: Whoa! How do you make it through every year? As a California native, I wouldn't be able to handle that for more than one season! W: I guess I'm used to it. When I was a kid, it was pretty fun to play with flashlights and have campfires outside in the afternoon. I never noticed that life was worse because it was always dark.

output answer: M: Wow, I had no idea it was going to be so sunny here! I thought Alaska was supposed to be cold.

input question: M: Yes, certainly. We have a very high percentage of female staff. We employ about 160 women, which is eighty percent of all our staff. What was said before this conversation????
output answer: W: Could you tell me how many of your employees are women?

input question: M: I used to. But I haven't played it for quite some time. I don't really have time these days with all my studies. Why do you ask? W: I'm trying to organize a group to play at some parties on weekends. We still need a guitar player. M: Well, I don't know. But your idea sounds fun to me. W: Oh, it will be. I'm more or less in charge of things, so if you want to give it a try, you're in. It's as easy as that. Besides, it's a great chance to get out to meet people. M: But I told you I haven't practiced for a long time. I don't know if I remember any songs I used to play. W: Don't worry about it. I just thought I'd ask you to try and join us sometime when we were practicing. We'll be practicing for a few months before we give performances. M: OK, I'll have a try. W: I'm sure you can do it. And it will be fun, too. What was said before this conversation????
