[Q]: W: Not a great deal. Why? M: I've been reading an article about computers. They are strange and are being used for almost everything. W: Yes. But have you learned how to use one? M: No. But I'm about to take a course on computers next term. W: That's good. You have to know about computers. Computer knowledge is a must whatever you do.

input: Please answer the following: W: People here are more serious than that in Spain. Spanish people are lazy but fun to be with. Also, before I came to England, people told me that the English are very polite. It is known internationally. But I don't think it is true.

Please answer this: 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?
