Q: Read the below conversation. W: Gordon, I'm going to Keswick in the Lake District this weekend. M: Really? W: Yeah, five of us. Why don't you join us? We're getting to Keswick on Friday. Then we're going boating on Saturday. And on Sunday, we're going to do some shopping. Then I will take some time to visit my aunt Lucy. M: You're not going to camp, are you? Isn't it a bit cold? W: No, we're not. It is a bit cold. We're staying in a country inn. It's not like five-star hotels or anything. But it's really comfortable. M: Hmm, sounds interesting. You know, it's the boating that I don't like. W: Well, what are you up to? M: Sit on my sofa all weekend and watch the DVDs I've just bought. And that will be a busy weekend. I may finish watching Friends. W: I don't know how you can do that all weekend, Gordon. I'd get bored. What would the listener say?

M: What are you going to do there? W: Some people are in great need of help after the flood. Being a doctor, I have the responsibility to help those in trouble. M: That's true. But you often go to those dangerous places and we are all worried about your safety, mum. W: Don't be so troubled. I'm a doctor. I know how to care for myself. What worries me is your life and study at school. Are you used to the life in the school? M: Yes. But many classmates have their mothers or fathers pick them up after school.
