Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. M: The radio costs $40, but I only have $30. What would the listener say?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
W: I have $16. Would you like to borrow it?
input question: Read the below conversation. W: Are you free this evening? Would you like to come with me to the International Center? M: I remember receiving their calendar of activities in my campus mailbox a week ago. I didn't really look at it, though. Isn't that where they organize parties and trips for foreign students? W: Not only for foreign students. The International Center's activities are intended for all students. They set up conversation tutorials for a variety of languages, and through the Center's Host Family Program, you can visit the home of a local family. M: Now that you mention it, it would be nice to meet more people from this area. I find the customs of this country really confusing sometimes. But also there are times when I need to talk to people who come from other countries as I do. I'll bet a lot of them feel the way I do. W: Of course. You are not the only person who is new around here. Take me. My family lives 500 miles away from here. That isn't another country, but it is a long distance. The center is a good place for meeting people who can tell you how to get to know this city. And if you ever feel lonely, you can go over there and find someone to chat with. On weekday nights, they don't close until 11:30. M: I guess it's worth visiting. Did you say you are going there tonight? W: Uh-huh, to a coffee hour at eight. M: All right. I'll come, too. I might as well see what the International Center is like. How about meeting me in front of the library and we'll walk there together? What would the listener say????
output answer: W: Sure. See you then.
Read the below conversation. M: I'd like to speak to the manager, please. W: May I know what it is about? M: I'd like to see him about the position advertised in today's newspaper. What would the listener say?
----
Answer: W: Certainly. Just wait for a while; he is making a phone call.
Q: Read the below conversation. M: I just went to the doctor, and he said that according to my BMI, which means Body Mass Index, I am officially overweight. Do I look fat to you? W: I mean, you could lose a few pounds, but I certainly don't think you look fat. Did he suggest anything to help you lose weight? M: He just said the usual stuff, like "eat less and exercise more". I guess I could cut out soda... W: Maybe you should cut out the sweets. M: I eat sweets when I'm stressed out, so that's going to be hard. I guess I should go to the gym tomorrow. I'm a member, but I never go. W: I thought we were going to that new restaurant tomorrow after work. We've been talking about it for weeks. What would the listener say?
A: M: Well, it's probably not healthy for me to be going out to eat, you know? The gym seems like a smarter choice. Come to think of it, maybe I'll go to the grocery store tonight and stock up on healthy options, too.

Remember? We met at Gary's party last Friday night. Diane: Oh, yeah. Now I remember. You were standing all alone ... uh, oh, I ... I mean ... I mean, you ... you know. We started talking about school and stuff. [Yeah, yeah.]. Uh, how did you know I lived here? Doug: Well, I just live around the corner, and I asked Gary if he knew how I could contact you, and ... Diane: And? Doug: Well, I was just wondering if you'd like to go out this Thursday night. [Oh.]. Well, there's this real great movie playing downtown at the theater, [Uh ...] and I thought ... Well ... well, we can't use my car 'cause I was in an accident with this wild man driving this BMW, so I've already checked the bus schedule, and ... Diane: Uh-hem [Well], Well, David [No Doug! Remember?] Oh yeah. Doug. I'm sorry, but I have to work that evening. Doug: Oh really? Well, I thought you said before that you quit your job. Diane: Well, I did, but I found a new one. Doug: Uh, well, how about this Friday night? We could have dinner and then see that movie. Diane: A movie? How boring! Doug: Well, well, uh, well. A movie? Yeah, for ... forget a movie. Diane: Anyway, I'm afraid I have to cook dinner for my family, and ... Doug: Hey, I love to cook. We could whip something up together! I mean, it would be great! Diane: I don't think that's a good idea. It's just a family occasion and ... Doug: Well, hey, are you free this Saturday night? I have two tickets to the football game, and I thought ... Diane: Sure. I'd love to go. [Okay!] I've wanted to see a game all year. [Yeah!] My roommate will be so surprised when she finds out I have a ticket for her, and ... Doug: Well, but ... Diane: Oh [car screeching ... ] ... and here's my brother! He's a defensive lineman on the team. Doug: Well, he doesn't look too happy. Diane: Ah, he's a teddy bear, but hasn't been the same since someone ran... What would the listener say?

Answer:
W: No, not really. I was thinking of boating in the Water Park with my parents. But you know the International English Speech Contest is coming up, so I have to stay at home and prepare for it.
