Question: Dialogue: W: Hi, Mike. Are you going to the barbecue tonight? M: Maybe. W: Why maybe? Are you sure? M: I don't know. All those people, I won't know anyone. W: But that's the idea. You go to these things to meet new people. M: But I don't think barbecue is the best way. W: Why not? M: Because it's just hard to meet friends. W: Well, I love meeting people in a big group because there are more possibilities. M: But don't you think it's hard to get to know people? Besides, it's noisy. You can't always have a great conversation. W: Then how do you like to meet people? M: I think small groups are the best way to meet people. I meet the most interesting people in class. I see how they think and talk every day. If I like someone, then we might get together later on. W: You're such a serious guy. I met my best friend in the sports club.

Dialogue: W: Good morning, everybody. Today, for our writing class, we are glad to have Mr. Henry Stone with us, a well-known writer in this country. He is going to share with us his writing experiences. Now, Henry, please tell us how you find so many interesting things for your stories. M: OK. I watch people a lot. I do that when I travel. I've been to many countries such as Britain, Italy and Sweden. So I spend a lot of time at airports. While waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day, when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple. They were buying magazines at that moment. They were not wearing business clothes, but the man was carrying a suitcase. Every few seconds, the woman looked around. I wondered if someone was following them. Perhaps they were running away, and you know, this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day: a bank clerk stole one million pounds a week before and disappeared with his wife. There was a picture of them in the paper. The couple really looked like the wiz. Maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other, and the woman walked away. Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that. But I find things like that are very useful for my writing. Question: What does Mr. Henry Stone do? - A bank clerk. - A teacher. - A writer.
A writer.
