Please answer this: Read the below conversation. Passenger: Hey Taxi! Ah great. Thanks for pulling over. Driver: Where to? Passenger: Well, I'm going to the National Museum of Art, and .... Driver: Sure. Hop in. No problem. Hang on! Passenger: Uh. Excuse me. How long does it take to get there? Driver: Well, that all depends on the traffic, but it shouldn't take more than twenty minutes for the average driver. [Oh]. And I'm not average. I have driving down to an art, so we should be able to cruise through traffic and get there in less than fifteen minutes. Passenger: Okay. Uh, sorry for asking [Yeah?], but do you have any idea how much the fare will be? Driver: Oh, it shouldn't be more than 18 dollars ... not including a ... uh-hum ... a tip of course. Passenger: Oh, and by the way, do you know what time the museum closes? Driver: Well, I would guess around 6:00 O'clock. Passenger: Uh, do you have the time? Driver: Yeah. It's half past four. [Thanks] Uh, this IS your first time to the city, right? Passenger: Yeah. How did you know? Driver: Well, you can tell tourists from a mile away in this city because they walk down the street looking straight up at the skyscrapers. Passenger: Was it that obvious? Driver: Well ... Passenger: Oh, before I forget, can you recommend any good restaurants downtown that offer meals at a reasonable price? Driver: Umm ... Well, the Mexican restaurant, La Fajita, is fantastic. [Oh] It's not as inexpensive as other places I know, but the decor is very authentic, [Okay] and the portions are larger than most places I've been to. Passenger: Sounds great! How do I get there from the museum? Driver: Well, you can catch the subway right outside the museum. There are buses that run that way, but you would have to transfer a couple of times. And there are taxis too, but they don't run by the museum that often. What would the listener say?

Problem: Read the below conversation. Daniel: Hey, Ashley. How many people are coming to the barbecue tomorrow? Ashley: Well, um, there's your family; that's four people. [ Okay. ] There are three from my work [ Okay. ], and then Mike and Megan from across the street. And you and me, of course. Daniel: Okay. So, what is everyone bringing? Ashley: Um, let's see. Here's my list. Um ... Your brothers are bringing hamburgers, cheese, and buns. Daniel: Oh! I'm glad they are in charge of that. [ Yeah, me too. ] You know, my brother, Jim ... He eats like a horse. [ Uh-huh. ] At the last barbecue, he put away at least, what, five hotdogs and five cheeseburgers ... Ashley: No, I think it was six. Six cheeseburgers. It might have been more hotdogs. I don't know. Daniel: He was still hungry! Ashley: I know. I don't know how he did it. He does that all the time, he's ... and he's not even fat. You'd think (he would be fat). Anyway. Oh, yeah, anyway. So, my friends from work said that they could buy chips and salsa [ Okay. ], and they're going to bring a salad [ Alright. ]. And one of them is vegetarian, and so she's going to bring her own veggie burger, so you don't have to worry about her. Daniel: Okay. That's ... That'll work out. Ashley: And Mike and Megan. You're going to love this. They're going to bring some of the corn from their garden. Daniel: Oh, their corn is always so, so good. Ashley: Yeah, I know. It's wonderful. Daniel: So, um, yeah. What about drink? Ashley: Well, we're going to have soda and juice, and ice water as well. Daniel: Okay. And what about dessert? Ashley: I already have some ice cream and some homemade apple pie in the fridge. Daniel: Oh. I can't wait. Ashley: This is going to be fun. What would the listener say?

A: Ashley: Yeah.
Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. W: Friday's speaker is supposed to be wonderful. Are you going to attend the seminar on that day? What would the listener say?

The answer is:
M: Yes. But I haven't been able to get the ticket yet. Since the lecture is open to the public, I imagine that the tickets may have already been sold out.
input question: Read the below conversation. M: Hello? Um, can I get some help over here? W: Sure thing. What'll it be? M: A menu, please. W: We don't serve food - just the beers you see on the wall. M: All right. What about that one? It's German, right? W: Yeah, it is. Is that what you'd like? M: Sure, that'll do. But I'd like a cold one if you've got one. W: Sure thing, sweetie. That'll be $6.25. M: Say, you're kinda friendly, aren't you? W: I suppose it comes with the job. It pays to be nice to people, don't you think? M: I suppose it does. That's what my mother said to me anyway. Oh, wait. Wait a second. Oh, no. I can't believe this! W: What's wrong? M: I think I left my wallet somewhere. W: It's gotta be around here. Maybe on the floor? M: No. It's not there. I don't know where it could be. Any chance you can be nice and give me that beer for free? What would the listener say????
output answer: W: No chance of that happening. If no one's paying, I'm not so nice.

Q: Read the below conversation. M: Excuse me, are you waiting to buy the concert tickets? W: Yes, I am. So are all these people in front of me. M: How long have you been here? W: About 50 minutes. I've hardly moved forward in that time. M: Are you kidding? W: Not at all. There was a couple up ahead of me who got so fed up that they finally gave up and left. They said they'd been here for more than an hour. M: My God. Does anyone know what's causing the delay? W: It could be that there aren't enough people selling tickets this afternoon. Or maybe their computers break down. M: I just hope they don't run out of tickets when I get up there. W: That really would be annoying, wouldn't it? M: I guess I should have come before lunch. Or has it been like this all day? W: Actually it has. In fact, before I came, I tried calling to order my tickets over the phone, just to avoid this long wait, but they don't take phone orders, or checks, or credit cards. It's cash or nothing. And you have to come in person. What would the listener say?
A:
M: Well, there are two more hours before the ticket office closes. Tickets to a good concert are worth waiting for. So I think i'll just make myself comfortable.
