[Q]: Given the question "What did Henry learn from the newspaper that day?" and the answer "A man stole money from a bank.", write a conversation that might have happened.

[A]: W: Good morning, everybody. Today, for our writing class, we are glad to have Mr. Henry Stone with us, a well-known writer in this country. He is going to share with us his writing experiences. Now, Henry, please tell us how you find so many interesting things for your stories.M: OK. I watch people a lot. I do that when I travel. I've been to many countries such as Britain, Italy and Sweden. So I spend a lot of time at airports. While waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day, when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple. They were buying magazines at that moment. They were not wearing business clothes, but the man was carrying a suitcase. Every few seconds, the woman looked around. I wondered if someone was following them. Perhaps they were running away, and you know, this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day: a bank clerk stole one million pounds a week before and disappeared with his wife. There was a picture of them in the paper. The couple really looked like the wiz. Maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other, and the woman walked away. Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that. But I find things like that are very useful for my writing.

[A]: Mechanic: What can we do for you today?Car Owner: Uh, hi. Yes, I'm having a problem with my car, and it doesn't seem to run right. I mean every time I start it up, the engine runs for a minute or so, sputters like it isn't getting enough gas, and then dies.Mechanic: Hmmm. Okay. Let's open the hood, and let's take a look... Okay, start her up. [Engine starting...] Okay, Okay. Shut her off. Hmmm. [So...] Let me look at the book here... [It] sounds like a possible fuel line, a dirty carburetor, bad alternator, or even a weak battery.Car Owner: So, which one is it?Mechanic: Uhh. Difficult to say. Let me try this... Uh, alright... You need to talk to the mechanic.Car Owner: The mechanic! So, who are you?Mechanic: Well, I'm the assistant, and I've only been here on the job for two days.Car Owner: So, why didn't you tell me that in the first place? I mean, I wouldn't have wasted all this time!Mechanic: You didn't ask.Car Owner: Okay, so how much is it going to cost?Mechanic: Ah. Difficult to say. [That's what you said about the last thing!] Are you a local or from out of town?Car Owner: I'm just passing through, and this is the only place for miles. [Yeah, that's right.] Man, can't you see my license plate? [Sure did!]Mechanic: Okay. The out-of-town rate. Let's see. Okay, here we go. If it's a fuel line, that'll be $100... No, no, That's the local rate. Here, $200 for the pre-screening check, $150 for parts, plus or minus $100, and $75 an hour for labor. Oh, oh yeah. Today's a holiday, so labor is actually $50 more per hour.Car Owner: Huh? Those prices are outrageous, and what holiday is it today?Mechanic: Oh, it's the local pumpkin festival.Car Owner: Ah, come on. I can't believe this. Of all my luck, my car breaks down in an out-of-the-way town [That's right.], and it'll cost an arm and a leg to get my car fixed.Mechanic: Ah, we'll take care of you. Just bring the car back on Tuesday so Mike, our mechanic, can take a look at it.Car Owner: Why not today? It's only 11:00...

[Q]: Given the question "In the end, Brandon decided to _________." and the answer "tell the police about the problem", write a conversation that might have happened.

[A]:
Man: Hey. How are you doing these days?Woman: Well, I'm okay, but Brandon isn't doing so well.Man: What do you mean?Woman: Well ..... I don't ... I don't know. It's kind of a strange situation. He was dating this girl ... you know Alex? He was dating her and then he ended up breaking up with her because she was using drugs, and ...Man: Oh, wow. Well, that was a good thing, right?Woman: Well, yeah, that was, but now she's really angry with him, and he's having all kinds of problems with her, like last week, she punched him in the face and in the groin at school. Right in front of everyone.Man: Oh, man! So, what did he do about it?Woman: Well, um ... she told him that if he said anything to a teacher, to the principal or anyone, she would get her friends to beat him up after school.Man: Man. This sounds really bad. I mean, you often think of men becoming aggressive toward women, but I guess it can go the other way.Woman: Yeah, yeah. You don't really think of this, but it happens, so um ...Man: So, what are you going to do about it?Woman: Well, first, Brandon said that, um, he was just going to let it go, but you know, he didn't want to cause any more problems ...Man: Yeah, I can see that.Woman: Then he decided that if she was doing that to do that to him and get away with it, she'd just do it to the next guy, so he went to the principal and the school police officer and reported everything, and now they're going to press assault charges against her.Man: So, isn't he worried about what her friends are going to do to him?Woman: Yeah, but he thinks that the other people in her group were just going along with her. [ Yeah. ] You know, I don't know. We'll see. They're probably frightened of what she might do to them. You know, she'll probably get suspended and have to go to court, but I don't know. He's kind of worried about some backlash.Man: I mean, people have to realize that you can't inflict violence on others, you know, in any type of relationship or friendship.Woman: Yeah,...
