output: M: I'm worried about those classes I missed when I was sick.
Please answer this: M: Is anything wrong, Madam? W: I'm afraid there is. The service here has been terrible. We had to wait twenty minutes for a glass of mineral water. M: I see. Well I'm sorry to hear that. The trouble is that we're a bit sort of hands at present. Two waitresses are ill. W: All right, but that's no excuse. My husband asked for goose and he was brought chicken instead. It's just unbelievable! And my beans weren't cooked properly. It wasn't a very enjoyable meal at all. M: This is most regrettable. W: Look at this bill. We've been overcharged. We only had one dessert, not two. Can you check the bill again, please? M: I do apologize, Madam. W: I'm afraid I'm not going to pay the service charge, or give a tip, as I don't feel satisfied with it. I'm quite disappointed as a matter of fact. M: I'll pass on your complaints to the manager right away. W: Thank you. What was said before this conversation?

input question: M: I think it's important. I can give you my insurance agent's card if you want. W: But I'm not sure what kind I need. In Germany, we have a national insurance program. But here you have nothing. M: Yes, I know. Many countries have national health insurance. America doesn't. W: Why is that? M: Well, it's because of the American culture. Americans think private companies can do things better than the government. So we depend on private companies for insurance. W: But isn't that expensive? M: You're right. It is expensive. And many people criticize it. They say it is not fair to poor people. They say the health systems are better in other countries, especially in Europe. W: But what do you think? M: I have no idea. I just do my best to have good insurance. It's important. What was said before this conversation????
