Please answer this: W: Oh yes, it is. Thank you. I was looking for it just now. M: You look a bit familiar to me. I wonder if we have met somewhere before? W: Have we? M: May I ask where you live? W: Just two blocks away, in that tall building. M: That's it. I live there too. I am on the 8th floor. W: It's a small world. We live on the same floor. M: I'm Adam Smith. May I know your name?

Problem: 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.

A: Interviewer: Today, I'm interviewing nine-year-old Alex about her feelings on how people can help save the environment. So, Alex, how can we save the environment?
Problem: Given the question: W: I'm sorry. They are noisy. But you know it's difficult to keep boys quiet. M: I couldn't work and I couldn't sleep at night. And I was woken by the noise they made early this morning. W: I'm terribly sorry. You know they never listen to me. They're only afraid of their father. He's away on business, but he will be back tomorrow. M: I hope he can do something about it. What was said before this conversation?

M: Excuse me, I'm trying to do some work. I'm afraid your children are making a lot of noise. Don't they ever go to sleep?
input question: M: Oh, thanks, but I am not in the band any more. In fact I'm not in the group at all right now. W: That's too bad. You're such an amateur musician. Why did you leave the group? M: I just couldn't be a full-time student and still practice with the band every night. I also missed a couple of performances during my midterm exams. And I thought I'd better quit before the band leader fired me. W: Hey, you know my friend Charlie, don't you? He plays the piano. He and some of his friends are getting a band together. And they need a good singer. M: I wouldn't have time for that either. W: Oh, I don't think they'll practise very often. Charlie and his friends are all students, too. I'll give you his number and you can get in touch with him. What was said before this conversation????
output answer: W: Michel, I heard your jazz band is going to play at the student center. I'm just calling to let you know I'll be there.
W: Yeah. My grandpa gave it to me as a graduation gift. Isn't it nice? M: It is. I can't believe it's so thin! What kind of computer is it? W: It's an Apple MacBook Air. It's very lightweight and has a bunch of built-in apps. I couldn't be happier with it. M: Do they have any other colors besides that one? W: I don't know. I like this color. I've ordered a pink cover for it, but it won't arrive for a couple of weeks. M: Does the computer have a disk drive? W: No, it doesn't, but I don't need one. All of my documents are online. M: Well, you're very lucky. It will be great to have this when you start looking for jobs. W: I already have. Today, I spent the day at the cafe working on my resume. This computer has great battery life. M: Well, that's good. But the cafe near here is always so crowded. W: I know. But I like to work in busy cafes. The noise reminds me that everyone else is working hard, so I work hard, too. What was said before this conversation?

Q: 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?
