Q: Read the below conversation. W: When did you leave for Beijing last Sunday? M: Oh, I planned to take the 8:50 train.

A: M: Yes. But when I hurried to the railway station, I was told the train would be delayed for fifteen minutes.

[Q]: Read the below conversation. W: Excuse me, sir. I notice you're reading a newspaper. Can I ask you some questions for a market research project? M: I don't really trust big advertisers, so... W: Oh, it's not like that. We're a small nonprofit organization, and we're hoping to save our local papers and all the jobs they create. M: Oh, that's an awesome cause! Fire away! W: Great. So, tell me what you like about newspapers. M: Well, there is a certain feel to holding a paper and turning the pages. The touch and sound of the paper as I fold it are so pleasant... A tablet can't give you this kind of feeling at all. W: Do you usually read the whole paper or go through different sections to pick out your favorite articles? M: I like being able to look around and find what I want. I can do this very quickly with a newspaper, but online news is tough for me to sort through. It takes me forever just to find something good, and sometimes when I do, it turns out to be something different! W: Do you dislike anything about your newspaper? What would the listener say?
****
[A]: M: Well, the only thing I can think of is all the ads nowadays. But it's even worse online, so I guess the answer is no!
input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. M: Have you booked the airplane tickets to spain yet? W: Well, I thought we should go traveling by ship for a change, so I booked two ship tickets instead. M: You should have told me or discussed it with me. W: I wanted to give you a surprise. Don't you like the idea? M: I like it all right, but it takes much more time to travel by ship than by plane. W: We have time, don't we? Every time we went on a trip, we were always tied down by schedules. This time will be different. We don't have to rush. M: You're right. This is our first trip since you retired. We can travel as long as we like. W: We'll have an easy trip and enjoy every minute. M: Have you bought traveler's cheques yet? W: Not yet. I'll go to the bank tomorrow. What would the listener say?

output: M: I'll go with you.
Read the below conversation. M: Catherine, you look great in these photos. W: Oh, thanks. I got into that wedding dress with great difficulty. It was too small. M: Why didn't you get one your size? W: Oh, it was my grandmother's - my mother wore it on her wedding day, and I really wanted to wear it on mine. I suffered for six months so I could wear it. M: How did you do it? W: Do you know this diet that many actors are doing? I don't think it's very healthy if you do it for a long time, but it really works. M: I think meat is not allowed in your diet. W: No, actually, you can eat things like, um, roast chicken, steak, and bacon, but you can't eat any bread and butter. M: Is it the diet that you love but have to avoid? What would the listener say?

Answer:
W: That's right. Dieting is so boring. Hopefully, I won't need to wear the wedding dress again anyway.
