input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. W: Bob, I'm sure you know about second-hand smoke. M: Of course, I do. W: But have you heard about third-hand smoke? M: Third-hand smoke? I'm afraid not. What is that then? W: Well, it is here in today's paper. Parents may think they are protecting children from second-hand smoke when they smoke outside their home or only when the children are not there. But now researchers are warning about what they call third-hand smoke. When you smoke dangerous matter from cigarettes get into your hair and clothing. As babies are the weakest, when you come to a baby, you pass it to the baby and increase the chances of disease in the baby. M: Is that so? In that case I have to say that I should never get close to a baby. What would the listener say?

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. W: I'm free this afternoon. Shall we go to the movies? M: OK. But I hate love stories. Any films about war on today? W: I'm afraid not. How about the theatre? M: Well, most plays are badly written, though they're cheap. W: Let's go to a concert. You like music very much, don't you? M: Yes, light music. But now you can only hear noisy music, American songs or songs where you can't understand a single word. W: What are you going to do then? M: Why not go to the library to borrow some books.

Answer: W: OK, let's.
Problem: Read the below conversation. W: I find it really hard to express myself in class. I have lots of ideas, but they never seem to come out of my mouth. M: Let me give you a little advice. You know what the topics are, so prepare what you would like to say ahead of time. W: I often do like that, but I'm worried about the responses from other people. M: You have to be realistic. Not everyone is going to agree with you, but people will respect your opinion and they will respect the fact that you have contributed something to the discussion. W: I'm worried that what I say will not make sense. M: We could chat about the topic before class. I could check that what you want to say is logical and it would also give you a chance to practice speaking. W: That's a good idea. What should I do if I have two minds about a topic? M: That's easy. Express possibilities. People will think that you are pretty smart to look at the topic from more than one angle. W: I didn't realize that speaking in class could be so easy. What would the listener say?

A: M: The most difficult thing is to predict what other people will say. They will reply to your statements. but you can't be sure how.
Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. W: Adam, how is your knee today? Is it still giving you trouble? M: No, it feels a lot better today. I went to the doctor and he told me it was not serious, I should be fine for Saturday. W: Great! But why don't you take it easy today? Maybe just practice throwing. Don't do any running. M: OK. Do you have any news about Michigan and what we can expect in Saturday's game? W: Yes, I have some films, showing Michigan in the last three games. They are in my office, if you want to see them after practice, you can. M: Oh, that would be great. I'd like to see what we are up against. They are one of the top basketball teams in the country now since they beat Iowa last weekend. Come to think of it, why don't you go ahead and check out the game films right now? And just rest that knee this afternoon. I want you to be well in three days. W: Michigan has a strong team. We are in for a tough one. What would the listener say?

W: You should go home at quitting time today and take it easy. M: Yes. I think I will. W: That's good. Say, how's your brother? M: He's fine, but he is awfully busy. He went to the States on a business trip two weeks ago. W: Oh, really? Is he back yet? M: No, he won't come back for several more weeks. W: Wow! He must have a lot to do there. M: Yes, he does. W: I want to be sure of the time because I'm going to meet a friend at five o'clock sharp. M: Well, my watch says 4:30, and that time should be right. I set it with the radio yesterday.
