Answer: M: Not at all. But please give it back before dinner so that I can take it to class this evening.

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. W: Hello, Patrick, is that you? M: Yeah Jane, what can I do for you? W: I was calling about the apple tree that you were trimming yesterday. M: That was hard work! W: I'm sure it was. It sure looked difficult. M: Yeah, I'm glad it's finished. Hauling the branches to the front for garbage pick up was no fun either. W: Well, I don't think you're quite finished yet, some of the larger branches fell over into my yard, and I think you should come and get them. M: Listen Jane, I don't see why I should do that. You eat all the apples that fall in your yard and you've never complained about that before. W: Well, it's easier to pick up apples then to drag tree branches all the way to the curb. My kids pick up the apples, and the branches are just too big for them to drag. M: Well, I guess you'll just have to do it yourself Jane. W: Patrick, I wish you would reconsider. We've always gotten along fairly well, but I think you're out of line here. The branches are your responsibility. M: Sorry Jane, I disagree! You take the benefits of the apple tree, but refuse to deal with the bad side of it! Besides, it won't take you any time to get the branches out front! W: Get the branches off my property or I'll have to sue you. M: Yeah? For what?! You're taking those law classes too seriously! I've gotta go, I have to pick up my son. W: You'll be hearing from me. What would the listener say?

Answer: M: Yeah, yeah. See you in court Jane.

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: Welcome. Last month big leap in new job, some 300, 000 plus, is a huge increase over what the country has seen in the past 6 months when the average growth has been just 75, 000 new jobs a month. For a closer look at what's happening, we turn to Lisa Lynch, an economics professor at Tofts University. Lisa Lynch, when you look at these numbers, do you think job creation is on the rise? W: It certainly is. It was a great report. It indicates that the job market, broadly speaking, has turned the corner after 3 very long, lean years. I think we are going to see improvement. It's not only the March gain. It was gain in January and February. They were both revised higher, and moreover, the job gains were very broadly-based across many industries. It was a very positive report. M: What do you see in the numbers? Who's getting the new jobs? What would the listener say?

Answer:
W: As I mentioned, when we looked at the numbers, "we are seeing employment across the board in all sectors, with one important exception, and that's in manufacturing. Well, we do not have any job loss in manufacturing sector for the first time in 44 months. We did not see pick up in the manufacturing sector, but we saw restaurant and hotel workers being added on. We saw workers in supermarket being added on. Part of that reflects the settlement of the grocery stores strike out California. We saw workers in the health care sector and hospitals being added on. We saw business services adding employees. So in general, with the very important exception of manufacturing, we are seeing job growth across all of these different types of occupations.
