Answer: M: I've just got back from the holiday you arranged for me. But I must tell you the hotel was really awful. It was miles from the sea. The food was awful too. The bedroom was dirty.
Q: M: Er, a couple of years. How long have you been working here? W: Only a few months. I moved down here for the job. There was no work for me where I came from. M: Where did you come from then? W: I came from a small village called Arnside near Lancaster a year ago. There was nothing there. So I moved to London. M: Do you enjoy working here in this restaurant? W: Very much so.

Answer: M: Welcome to Beijing Tasty Restaurant. What can I do for you?
[Q]: W: I'm planting cabbage. M: What's that in your hand? W: Cabbage seed. You see, I put some soil in the box, sow the seed carefully like this, and then cover it with more soil. I'll keep the box in the shade so that the sun doesn't burn the little plants. M: Is that all? W: No. Later, in a few weeks' time I'll put the little plants in the earth. Then I'll water them to stop the soil from getting too dry. Several weeks after that, I will plant them in rows in the field. M: Do you have to feed plants like you feed chickens? Or do they grow up by themselves? W: In fact they grow better if you feed them. When the plants are in the ground I'll put some powder on the soil. The powder is made from fish, blood and bones. It'll make the cabbage plants grow big and strong. M: Like me! What was said before this conversation?
