input question: Read the below conversation. Pete: Hey Markus. I have a question I'd like to ask you. Markus: Yes. Go ahead. Pete: Well, I'm thinking about going to Germany this summer [Great!], and I need some advice. You're the best person I know to answer my questions since you're German. Markus: Thank you. What do you want to know? Pete: Well, don't laugh, but I met this really nice woman through an online music mailing list, you know, a discussion group on the Internet [laughter]. I need some advice. You see, Claudia, ... Markus: Okay. So it's Claudia, oh? Pete: Yeah, yeah. See, she invited me to spend two weeks in Germany [Hum]. And well, I told here I had studied a little bit about the country and language [Hum], and she's kind of expecting that I know more than I really do. Markus: Hum. You're really in hot water now! Pete: Yeah. I think so. Markus: Well, what do you want to know? Pete: Well, she's planning on introducing me to her parents. Markus: Hey. Sounds kind of serious. Pete: It isn't, at least I think it isn't. Anyway, what should you do when you greet someone for the first time in Germany? Markus: Well, it depends upon your relationship with the person. Now, speaking of your girlfriend, Claudia, .... Pete: Hey, I didn't say she was my girlfriend. Markus: Ah, okay, okay. Now if you're meeting someone formally for the first time, like Claudia's parents, you should make sure you arrive on time. Pete: Okay, so arrive on time. Uh, what about common greetings? Markus: Well, Germans often shake hands, and they use the person's family name, unless they're really close friends. Pete: Okay, what about with Claudia? I'm not sure what I should do in her case. Markus: Ah. You can call her Claudia [Okay], shake hands, and why don't you take her some flowers? Pete: Oh, how do you say "Nice to meet you" anyway? Markus: Oh, "Ich freue mich, Sie kennenzulernen." Pete: "Ich freu me senselen...? " Markus: Uhhh. Not exactly. "Ich freue mich, Sie kennenzulernen" [Uhhh]. What would the listener say????
output answer: Markus: Humm. Honestly, I think you need to take a crash course in German before you leave. Claudia might think you're speaking Chinese or something if you don't.

input question: Read the below conversation. W: We've all heard the saying "Laughter is the best medicine." How important is it to our health, Dr. Berk? M: This saying has been scientifically proven! A year-long study of heart attack victims done at the Oakhurst Health Research Institute in California found that of those patients who spent half an hour a day watching comedy videos, 10 percent had a second heart attack, whereas 30 percent of those who did not watch had a second attack. W: Wow! Laughter is really a good medicine to patients. Can you give us another example? M: Sure! Norman Cousins, editor of the Saturday Review, learned this during a battle with an illness. He discovered that his condition improved when he enjoyed himself and watched funny movies. W: You said Norman learned this? Do we have to learn to laugh? M: Not necessarily. Since laughing is something people can do sitting down, costs no money, and requires no special exercise equipment or skill, it's the perfect workout for anyone who doesn't have the time or desire to participate in a regular fitness program. W: Oh. Do you have such a program to offer to the general public? M: Yes, we do. It's called the Smile Time-Out. You take a deep breath, smile, exhale, and say "Aaah" while visualizing all your muscles and cells smiling. Then add to that a memory of a time you felt really good and laughed and laughed. W: What about the situation in which you aren't in a mood to laugh? What would the listener say????
output answer: M: Even when you fake a smile or laugh, you get the same physiological benefits as when it's the real thing, because your mind is smart, but your body is stupid and can't tell the difference!
