Read the below conversation. M: What did you think of the lecture? W: I thought it was very interesting. M: Did you really? W: Yes, didn't you? M: Certainly not. I thought he talked a lot of rubbish. W: So you think you know more than he does. M: Well, take coal for instance. W: What about it? M: Coal won't become important again. W: Why not? M: It's too dirty. They won't be able to find people to work down coal mines in the future. W: They'll invent new kinds of machinery. What would the listener say?
Ans: M: Nonsense. The only sort of power they'll use in the future is atomic power.

Read the below conversation. M: I must admit that I'm not really looking forward to it. W: No? M: Well, I've been to their parties before, and I don't suppose this one will be any better. All the same people are going on and on about their jobs. W: Aha. What would the listener say?
Ans: M: They all think they are so important. Honestly, I just can't be bothered with them. I never know what to say. Still I've been invited, so I suppose I'd better go. B: Eh.

Read the below conversation. W: Oh, it's so nice to be out of the cinema. It was so hot there. I thought I'd melt. M: Terrible, wasn't it? Well, what did you think of Out of Africa? Do you think it was as good as the review said? W: It was a good film, but not as good as the book. I think some of the story was missing in the film. M: Yes, but you couldn't possibly fit everything that happens in a 200-page novel into a 2-hour film. There simply isn't time. W: I know, but the director should at least have tried to follow the story. M: Well, perhaps he thought he was improving the story. What would the listener say?
Ans: W: Perhaps he did, but I just don't think a film director has the right.

Read the below conversation. W: Hmm... Here's one of a crowd of people moving. I think that's pretty stressful. M: Well, I don't think it's so bad. But I do think that going to the dentist is stressful. W: Oh, so do I! It's stressful because you have no control. M: That's right. Look at this one. This poor boy is sitting in an exam. I think exams are the most stressful. Sometimes you just can't think of anything to write. W: Yes, I agree with you there. What about these people here? M: Mmm... I'm not sure. They seem to be in a hurry, don't they? I think being late is stressful. W: That's true. It can be terrible, especially when you're late for something important. M: Like an interview. Look at this picture here: here's someone in an interview. Do you think interviews are stressful? W: No. I think they're quite exciting, a challenge. What would the listener say?
Ans: M: Oh, I hate interviews.
