input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. W: Good morning, Mr. Jacob. Is everything all tight? M: No, it's not. Someone's stolen some of my valuables two rings and a gold necklace. W: I'm very sorry to hear that, sir. Where were they? M: In my room. And the door was locked. It can only be one of your staff. I want my things back. And fast. W: Well, I can certainly understand that you're upset about losing them and we'll do all we can to help. If they really are missing,it's a matter for the police. M: What do you mean, if they are missing? I told you they were. W: Yes, Sir. But first I'll have one of the housekeeping staff look through your room in case they're still there.

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: Come in, please. What can I do for you? W: Professor Donner, are you giving your Advanced Geology course next semester? M: Yes, I'm planning on it. W: Could I be enrolled in it? I know it's a graduate course and I'm only a junior, but... M: Aren't you a bit young? I've allowed qualified seniors to take the course and they usually have a hard time keeping up. W: I know. But the geology of the American West is my favorite interest and I've done a lot of reading in the field. Last semester I took Professor Burman's course and I didn't find it really challenging enough. M: I see. You certainly aren't one of those students who are out for easy grades. W: I should say not. I really want to learn something. M: Well, I'll speak to Professor Burman. If he thinks you're ready, I'll let you enroll. What would the listener say?

Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. W: Peter, where is the ear? I haven't seen you drive to work for a long time! Is it broken or stolen? 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? What would the listener say?
