Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: Hello. W: Hi, Tom. This is Diana from the creative writing class. M: Oh, hi, Diana. What's up? W: Well, I have a new project which I thought you might be interested in. I'm setting up a writer's group, you know, a support group for people who are trying to get published. M: Well, how would it work? W: We get together once a week. I've already arranged for a meeting room in the library, and then we share what we were working on and offer each other some advice. M: I could use some advice. I'm working on a short story that I'd like to get published in the Campus Literature Review. You've done that, haven't you? Didn't I see a poem of yours in the last issue? W: Yes, I was so excited to finally see my work in print. It was presented three times. You just have to keep trying if they turn you down. M: Well, I'm sure the group could help me, but I don't know how much I can contribute. I'm just starting out. W: That's OK. I know from your comments in class that you will be a valuable member. We will get someone more experienced to help us, too. What would the listener say?

Problem: Read the below conversation. M: Are you OK, Lily? You don't look very happy. W: Oh, David. I had an argument with mum again. I'm not getting enough pocket money. M: How much do you get? W: Five pounds a week. M: That sounds reasonable to me. W: Well, I'm 14 and if you are going to town shopping, you can never have enough money. Everything is so expensive. M: But is it fair amount of money? Compare what your friends get. W: Well, we all get the same. But I have to buy all my music things as well things for school and have hardly anything left to spend on clothes. M: Right. Do you have to help around house? W: Not really. M: So you don't have to do anything for this pocket money. W: Mum said if I did that I will never have time to do my school work. M: Has she said you can have more pocket money when you are 15? W: Well, Mum just says she'll decide when I'm ready to have more. And I've just got to wait. M: Maybe you should sit down with her and say "How can I prove that I am old enough to get more?" W: So, I should talk to her again. M: Yes, but don't argue with her. Just discuss it calmly. What would the listener say?

A: W: OK, thanks.
