input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. W: Gosh! Have you seen this, Richard? M: See what? W: In the paper. It says, there is a man going around pretending he's from the electricity board. He's been calling at people's homes, saying he is coming to check that all their appliances are safe. Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea, and while they are out of the room he steals their money, handbag whatever and makes off with it. M: But you know, Jane, it's partly their own fault. You should never let anyone like that in unless you're expecting them. W: It's all very well to say that. But someone comes to the door, and says electricity or gas and you automatically think they are OK, especially if they flash a card to you M: Does this man have an ID then? W: Yes, that's just it. It seems he used to work for the electricity board at one time. According to the paper the police are warning people especially pensioners not to admit anyone unless they have an appointment. It's a bit sad. One old lady told them she'd just been to the postoffice to draw her pension when he called. She said he must have followed her home. He stole the whole lot. M: But what does he look like? Surely they must have a description. What would the listener say?

output: W: Oh, yes they have. Let's see, in his thirties, tall, bushy dark hair, slight northern accent, sounds a bit like you actually.
Please answer this: Read the below conversation. W: Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think. M: Yes, but I'm not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Couldyou tell us something about that? W: Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant, but steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity. So it's still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain's machine tools are from the Basque Country. As for paper processing, there's still a little. But it's no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear? M: Yes, thanks. W: Now, to get back to what I was saying, there's a lot of unemployment as wellas geographical problems in the region. M: Sorry, Victoria. What do you mean by geographical problems? W: Well, what I mean is the area is very hilly, mountainous in parts. So there used to be transport problems, now though there are new train links and betterroads, but it may be that some smaller towns inland remain not very well connected, is that OK? Does that make sense? When we talk about specific location suggestions for the factory, we'll see this in more detail, so we'll come back to this question, OK? M: OK, right. What would the listener say?
