[A]: F: Your presentation is well done.
input: Please answer the following: M: After thinking about a few ideas, I finally settled on the difference between Japanese and American styles of management. W: Hmm. Why did you choose a topic like that? M: Well, I'm planning to study Business in graduate school next year. After that, I hope to start my own company. W: Isn't that a coincidence! I'm also doing a paper on how Japanese management styles are being adapted by American firms for my Comparative Cultures class. M: Why don't we sit down and share some of our sources after we've each been to the library? W: Great idea! Should we meet at the snack bar next Wednesday at this time? M: That's fine with me. See you then. What was said before this conversation?

output: W: What topic did you finally choose for the term paper for your World Economy class?
Please answer this: M: Hi, Susan] Oh, no! Of course not! I give up driving to work. Instead, I ride to my working place. W: Why is that? M: You see. There is only a stone's throw from my home to my working place. I think riding a bike to work is more convenient. W: I don't think so. It will take you at least 25 minutes to get to our company from here. M: Yes, sometimes, 30 minutes. But I love riding to work now. It is a totally different picture on my way to work. W: Why do you think so? M: You see, every morning, after I set off for work, I can breathe the new fresh air along the way. By the time I reach my office, I feel rather revived. I even don't rely on coffee to spend my morning hours. W: Is it so magical? M: At least, that's how I feel about riding to work. I can't believe I have wasted so much fresh morning air in the past 3 years! W: Will you continue riding to work in the future? M: I think so. What was said before this conversation?

Problem: W: Don't worry. I'll be back in five or six days. M: What are you going to do there? W: Some people are in great need of help after the flood. Being a doctor, I have the responsibility to help those in trouble. M: That's true. But you often go to those dangerous places and we are all worried about your safety, mum. W: Don't be so troubled. I'm a doctor. I know how to care for myself. What worries me is your life and study at school. Are you used to the life in the school? M: Yes. But many classmates have their mothers or fathers pick them up after school. I have to go and come all by myself. W: I'm sorry, dear. I'll ask your father to be back when I'm away. Maybe he can manage a few days off from his manager. I must go right now. The bus is waiting out over there. Bye-bye. What was said before this conversation?
