M: We've just moved into a new house. ,F: Really? Congratulations. ,M: Thank you. I think we want to buy a new television set. ,F: What kind of television do you want to buy? ,M: A color TV set, of course. But I'm not sure about the size. Maybe we should buy a big one.

What's your opinion? ,F: In my opinion, I don't think it's necessary to buy a very big one.
