Q: Read the below conversation. Heather: Ron, what are you doing? Ron: Ah, nothing. I'm just looking up some information on the Internet. Heather: Like what? Let me see. Ron: No, no, it's okay. I mean, you know ... Heather: Baldness? What are you looking that up for? [Well, you know ... ] I ... I mean, you're not that bad off. Ron: Ah, there you go. Bringing it up again! Heather: No. I mean it. You look great! Honestly, it's not that bad. Ron: Hey, I get enough of it from friends, and the people at work, and now from you! Heather: Well, maybe you could wear a toupee? I think you'd look great. Ron: Oh no. And have it slip off my head on to my date's dinner plate as I lean over to kiss her? Uh-uh. Heather: Well, have you ever thought about seeking medical advice? There are new advances in medicines that not only retard hair loss, but help regenerate new growth. Ron: Ah, I still don't give much credibility to medical treatment to prevent permanent hair loss. Heather: Well, what about accepting the fact that you're just losing your hair? Ron: I just can't give up hope. I know appearances shouldn't matter, but I don't know. I just feel that women just avoid me. Heather: Come on. You can't be serious. What would the listener say?
A: Ron: No really. I've seen it many times. It just, I don't know ...

W: Yes. It's a small group of only fifteen girls and boys. But nobody has been late for the practice. M: I see. How many songs can you sing now? W: We started only three months ago, but we've practiced eight songs. M: Are you going to perform any time? W: Yes, there will be a school show next month and we are going to sing a song in it. We are practicing a new song now. It's written by one of the singers in our group. M: Really? What's the name of the song? W: Sunny Days. What would the listener say?

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. W: What are the main differences between this country and your country? M: Well, in Russia, everything happens very fast. People talk quickly, they drive their cars too fast, the good deals go by really quickly...but here in Canada, it seems like people are a little more relaxed. W: Is that true for everything? M: No, of course not. In Russia, going to the bank can take hours. The same is true for the post office and the supermarket. In Canada, however, these places are pretty easy to get through quickly. W: So, what is it that makes some things go either faster or slower compared to us here in Canada? I was born and raised here, so I guess I don't notice these things. I've also never been outside the country before. M: I think the people in Russia are fast movers by nature, at least in the big cities. Public places are still very slow because they haven't tried to do business any differently than they used to. W: But in Canada, it's the opposite? M: Right. The government here does a great job of solving problems and using new technology to make businesses work better. But I think Canadians are just more calm in general than Russians are... and they're definitely more relaxed than Americans! What would the listener say?

Answer: W: Well, I agree with you about that last part!
