Problem: Read the below conversation. W: Good morning, Mr. Tim. It's a long time since I had the pleasure of a visit from you. M: Yes, it must be three or four years. I haven't visited you since I called about my will. You helped me with that, you remember? W: Yes, I remember. Do you want to make any changes in your will? M: I don't think that will be necessary, but you'll tell me if it is. I left everything, you remember, to my wife, and, after her death, to my son Jerry. I've about $ 15 000 in shares of industrial companies. These bring in, after paying tax, about $ 1 125 a year. Well, I'm earning a good salary now, and I shall get a good pension from my employers, so my wife and I can live fairly comfortably with this extra income. I want to buy some land and build a house for my son. It's time he get married, and he needs a house. I'm thinking of building one and giving it to him. W: Your son's fortunate. So you want my help buying the land and building the house. M: Yes, that's right. As soon as you've done what's necessary for buying the land, Jerry and I will see an architect. W: Have you found a plot yet? M: Jerry was in Edinburgh last Saturday and saw a plot he likes. My wife and I went there two days ago, and we liked it, too. I'd like you to make the necessary inquiries for me. What would the listener say?

A: W: I'd be pleased to do that. I shall have to write to the Local Authority and inquire whether it is allowed to build a house on your piece of land. You're not allowed to build a house without permission from the Planning Authority. And sometimes the Authority decides that a house must be built of stone, and not of brick, so that it doesn't spoil the surrounding village.
Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. M: Good morning. Anything wrong? W: I've been suffering from a fever since yesterday. M: Do you have any other problems? Like a headache or cough? W: No, I don't. I think it's only a fever. M: Let me check... It's 39 degrees. I'll give you some medicine. W: Thank you, doctor. M: You'd better take two or three days' rest. W: Thanks. M: This medicine is for one day only. Take two pills as soon as you get home, and another two before going to bed.

input question: Read the below conversation. Woman: What are you reading, Bill? Man: It's this week New Scientist. Why? Woman: I was just wondering. It looks interesting. But I've never actually read myself. It's for real scientists, or can ordinary people like me understand it? Man: Always for anyone, really. It usually has articles or stories about current affairs about science, as well as papers about new development in research. I'm reading about new telephone that allows you to see the person you are speaking to as well as see him. Woman: Oh, I heard about it. Is it on the market yet? Can I buy one? Man: No. Not this one. But the company has made other models to try on business. This one is special because its color and image is moving. Woman: Oh, that's interesting. Man: You see the first video phones. That's what they are called. They made in Japan. But they can only show still black and white image. So this video phone is much better than that. Mind you, I'm not sure I want one, would you? Woman: Well, no, I don't think a word. I bet it costs a lot of money. Did it say how much it costs? Man: Yes. The yearly black and white one costs several hundreds pounds. But one in the story is about to cost several thousands pounds. Woman: Hmm, what does anybody want one, do you think? Man: Business organizations that need frequent contact overseas want it. It's like a face-to-face conversation, so maybe a lot of overseas travels can be avoided. What would the listener say????
output answer: Woman: Yes, I suppose so.

Q: Read the below conversation. M: Have you packed up the suitcases? What would the listener say?
A: W: Almost.
[Q]: Read the below conversation. M: Hi, Helen, what do you think of our class in Children's Literature? W: It looks pretty good. Are you also majoring in Elementary Education? M: Yes. I can use this to fulfill the requirement for my course. W: Have you finished the first assignment yet? M: Not yet. I just bought the books today. How about you? W: I started this afternoon. It's great fun reading those wonderful children stories by Doctor Seuss. M: Doctor Seuss? I don't remember seeing his name on the reading list. W: His full name's Theodore Seuss Geisel. You can find this name on the reading list. Doctor Seuss is his pen name. M: I love reading those stories as a child. It'll be interesting to read them now from a different point of view. I guess they'll give me a good idea of how children think. W: Those stories are also great for classroom use. M: How's that? W: Well, take a typical Doctor Seuss's book like The Cat in the Hat. It has a controlled vocabulary of only two hundred words. M: So that means the children get lots of practices using a small number of words over and over again. W: Exactly. In fact The Cat in the Hat was written mainly to show how a controlled-vocabulary book could also be interesting and fun. What would the listener say?
