[Q]: Read the below conversation. W: You are early today! Did you drive here? M: That's my last choice. Driving a car in rush hour is obviously not a good idea. W: So you took a bus? What would the listener say?
****
[A]: M: No, the subway instead. I found it the easiest and cheapest way for me to get to the office.
input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. M: Those oranges look nice. How much are they? What would the listener say?
++++++++++
output: W: They're sixty cents a pound.
Please answer this: 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?

Answer: M: All right, I'll be back tomorrow for full practice.
Problem: Read the below conversation. M: Is this table on the corner okay? W: Sure, we can sit here. Be seated. M: Gee, you've hardly got anything on your tray. W: Yeah, I guess I'm just not that hungry. M: What's the matter? Aren't you feeling well? W: Well, I've been really worried. It's my car. It's in the repair shop again! M: Really? What's wrong this time? W: I don't know exactly. Something's wrong with the brakes I think. M: Well, at least that shouldn't cost too much to fix. Parts are cheaper for old American cars like yours. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost? W: He said he'd call me with an estimate later on today. M: Watch out he doesn't try to take advantage of you. W: What do you mean? M: Well, some car mechanics, if they think that someone doesn't know much about cars, they might try to overcharge that person. W: Maybe so, but I trust this guy. He was recommended by one of my neighbors. He's done some work for me in the past and his prices seemed to be reasonable. M: Oh, that's good to know. Maybe I'll try using him in the future. By the way, did you need a ride home after class today? W: Oh, I'll sure appreciate it. It's really tough getting around without a car when you live off campus. What would the listener say?

A: M: You are right, I think now you should think about moving back to your dormitory. If I were you, I would be fed up with those troubles.
Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. M: The food in this restaurant is horrible if only we'd gone to the school dining hall. What would the listener say?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
W: But the food isn't everything. Is't it nice just to get away from all the noise?
Problem: Read the below conversation. W: John, you know a lot about the history of flying. And the Wright broth- ers are known as the first men to fly an airplane. Can you tell us what their purposes were in the beginning? M: I think in the beginning they were looking for a chance to be famous. I don't think they were sure about what they were able to achieve. W: Could either of them have done it alone? M: Neither brother could have flown alone. It was the work of two minds. Two minds that came together at some point and became one. That's what happened. W: What did the people in the neighborhood think of the Wright brothers? What would the listener say?

A:
M: Most people were interested in the Wright brothers. But I think some of them were worried. You see, here are two men flying kites in the mid- dle of the day when they should be working. The men, I think, were curious about what was going on there. The children were excited to see these two men flying kites just like they were children.
