Question: Read the below conversation. Woman: Hey, how are you doing? Man: Uh, I guess okay ... kind of. Woman: Yeah, Mom said Daniel isn't doing so well. What's going on? Man: Well, uh, for some reason I always thought raising kids would be a lot easier than it is. Woman: Yeah, I know. Tell me about it. What's, what's the problem? Man: Well, for about six months, he's been really down, and sometimes, I can't get him out of bed in the morning to go to school. He just seems so depressed. I just can't figure it out. Woman: So, this has been going on like half a year? Man: Yeah, kind of on and off, but I don't know. I ... I just thought it would just kind of go away, and I just thought things would just get, I don't know, get better. Woman: Yeah, that's not, that's pretty worrrisome. Um, I mean, I've noticed he's not hanging out with Jared very much anymore. You know, is he ... what's he doing when he's up? Man: Well, uh, a lot of the time he's not up. He just kind of uh, stays in bed. [ Really? ] I just can't figure it out. I don't know. Woman: Yeah, that's, that's a big problem. I can see why you're really worried about him. Have you considered taken him to see a therapist, or a psychologist, or anybody? Man: Ah, no. I, I ... It's probably just a phase or something. I think some kids were picking on him at school, but I think that's stopped. He doesn't talk about it anymore, so I guess that's over. Woman: So, you're saying that he was like being bullied and stuff? Man: Yes, yeah. But he didn't talk about it a lot. I thought it was just, you know, having some problems, and it just kind of would go away. Woman: Well, you know, I don't know about that with the bullying or whatever, but you know, this has been going on for a long time. You really need to seriously address it. Man: I don't know. Uh, and well, his girlfriend just broke up with him, so I guess maybe that's had an impact on him. Woman: Yeah, it has. Uh, that explains a lot. Um, have you looked at his Facebook page lately? [ What? ] He posted some stuff, well, he was posting... What would the listener say?
Answer: Woman: Alright, thanks. Man: Thanks.

Problem: Read the below conversation. Police Officer: Hello. 24th Precinct. Officer Jones speaking. Man: Help. Yeah, uh, it was wild, I mean really bizarre. Police Officer: Calm down sir! Now, what do you want to report? Man: Well, I'd like to report a UFO sighting. Police Officer: A what? Man: What do you mean "what?" An unidentified flying object! Police Officer: Wait, tell me exactly what you saw. Man: Well, I was driving home from a party about three hours ago, so it was about 2:00 AM, when I saw this bright light overhead. Police Officer: Okay. And then what happened? Man: Oh, man. Well, it was out of this world. I stopped to watch the light when it disappeared behind a hill about a kilometer ahead of me. Police Officer: Alright. Then what? Man: Well, I got back in my car and I started driving toward where the UFO landed. Police Officer: Now, how do you know it was a UFO? Perhaps you only saw the lights of an airplane [No], or the headlights of an approaching car [No]. Things like that happen, you know. Man: Well if it was that, how do you explain "the BEAST"? Police Officer: What do you mean, "the BEAST"? Man: Okay. I kept driving for about five minutes when all of a sudden, this giant, hairy creature jumped out in front of my car. Police Officer: Oh, yeah. Then what? Man: Well, then, the beast picked up the front of my car and said, "Get out of the car. I'm taking you to my master!" Something like that. Police Officer: Wow? A hairy alien who can speak English! Come on! Man: I'm not making this up, if that's what you're suggesting. Then, when I didn't get out of the car, the beast opened the car door, carried me on his shoulders to this round-shaped flying saucer, and well, that's when I woke up along side the road. The beast must have knocked me out and left me there. Police Officer: Well, that's the best story I've heard all night, sir. Now, have you been taking any medication, drugs, or alcohol in the last 24 hours? You mentioned you went to a party. Man: What? Well, I did have a few beers, but I'm telling the...
