Problem: Given the question: Mark: Oh, Hi. Stacy: Are you new in the neighborhood? [ Oh, yeah. ] Welcome, welcome to the neighborhood. [ Oh. ] Hey, I'm Stacy. I live across the street. Mark: Oh, Hi, Stacy. I'm Mark. Mark Jones. Stacy: Um. Looks like your moving. Do you need any help unloading your moving truck? I can have my husband come or my kids. Mark: Um, well, fortunately, the movers are going to do that, but you're welcome to, uh, help carry in a few things out from our car. Stacy: Yeah, sure, I can get them. So, where are you from? Mark: Well, we're from originally from Chicago, but we just moved from a place called Springville. Stacy: Oh, Springville, that's, uh. Isn't that the ... the north end of the state Mark: Yeah, just, yeah, not too far from here. Stacy: How was your trip? Mark: Well, it went pretty well. We hired a moving company, something my company paid for, and it was simply more convenient than packing all our stuff, renting a truck, and then moving everything ourselves. Stacy: That's nice. How does this moving company work then? Was it pretty good? Mark: Yeah. Well, in many cases, you can pack your own things and just have the company load the boxes and your other items on the truck, or they'll pack everything for you, and they can tow your vehicle behind the truck if you like, and they can even, you know, move heavy items like pianos. Stacy: Wow, that's nice. So, did everything go as planned? Mark: Well, pretty much, except our cat disappeared [ Really? ] yeah, about three hours before the movers left ... Stacy: Did you ever find it? Mark: No, and uh, we're not sure if she ran away, got hit by a car, or what. Stacy: Oh, that must be really hard on your family. Sorry to hear about that. [ Yeah. ] Yeah, that must be rough. [ Yeah. ] No sign of the cat? Mark: Not yet. Stacy: Uh, I'm sorry. So, um, what do you do for a living? Mark: Well, I'm software developer. Stacy: Oh, what do you do exactly in your job? Mark: Well, um, most of the time, I develop educational software for schools [ Really? ]... What was said before this conversation?

input question: M: It's half past seven. I think we will be late for the film. W: Don't worry. There is still twenty minutes to go. M: But it's three kilometers from here to the cinema.

output answer: W: What time is it now?
W: Yes. I paid a visit to London and attended a summer course in English. M: Wow. It sounds so good. How long did you stay there? W: Well, I went there on July 5th and came back on August 15th. M: What about the course? W: I think the course was well organized. The teachers were nice. They taught us to listen, speak, read and write in English, but it mostly focused on speaking. One interesting thing I found was that the English classes were different from ours because they were very free. You can sit anywhere you like in the classroom. You can ask the teacher questions at any time during the class, and you are welcome to share your ideas with the classmates and teachers. I really enjoy this kind of class. M: How interesting! Maybe our teachers should try that. What was said before this conversation?

Answer: M: Hi, Jane. It's nice to see you again. I heard that you went to the United Kingdom during the vacation.
Q: W: Thank you, Brian. It's great to be here. M: OK, so tell us about this new toy. W: Well, it's similar to a relaxation ball in its function, but it's useful for anyone who has problems focusing. M: So, how does it work? W: It's about the size of a cookie, and it has three small round parts that can move in any direction. Basically, you just hold it in between your thumb and middle finger and spin it. That's it. M: That's it? W: Yeah. It's very popular not only with children, but with adults as well. M: A professor at MIT by the name of Jill Meanley has publicly stated there is no scientific or medical evidence for your claims about its benefits. Many schools also have banned the toy, saying it leads to a lack of focus in the classroom. W: Well, that professor is allowed to have her opinion. M: Fair enough. And who invented it? W: Catherine Hettinger, a chemical engineer, was first believed to be its creator, but then we found that an IT professional named Scott McCoskery was the actual inventor. M: It's time for a commercial break. More with Margaret Seabrook in a moment. What was said before this conversation?
