Q: M: For Gosh's sake! I hate being a teacher. I still have a clear memory of the terrible days when my father helped me with all my subjects. But it is strange that I made great progress in my English learning. How about you, Jessica? W: Well, I dream of being a brilliant dancer like my mother. You know, she is 43 now, and she has been dancing since she was 20 years old. M: I can't believe it! She looks quite young and has a great figure. W: Yes. She has formed a good habit of having enough fruits and vegetables every day. And more importantly, she keeps an optimistic attitude towards life which benefits her physical condition. M: Oh, I see. How I wish I had taken enough exercise. W: Come on. Don't lose heart! If you think you can, you can. Let's get rid of our bad habits and learn from our great parents. M: Why not do it right now? Shall we swim this afternoon? W: With pleasure! What was said before this conversation?
A: W: Hi, Jack, have you thought about your ideal job in the future? Do you want to be an excellent math teacher like your father?
Question: W: No, I don't think it's good for farming. M: Why do you know so well? W: I own a farm here, but farming is very hard work. M: But modern farm equipment can make farming easier. W: Yes, but you should cut down trees, clear a lot of land and make the soil rich. M: I don't mind hard work. I just want to get away from my factory. W: You can have my farm at a low price, $ 200, if you want it. M: All right. You're giving me the farm, aren't you? What was said before this conversation?
Answer: M: I want to buy a farm. I think I'd like to grow wheat, is the ground here good for that?
[Q]: M: Sorry, I just can't help it. W: But it's annoying. M: I don't mean to annoy you. I feel so nervous. W: Why? M: I feel nervous every time I take examinadons. W: Just relax. I used to feel the same way, but now I can handle exams easily. M: How do you make it? W: Well. I attended some lectures on taking exams. M: That works? What's the importance? W: Well, you should know that you've been working really hard. And the most important thing is that you should know that the world wouldn't end if you fail. M: Ok. I'll have a try and see if it works. What was said before this conversation?

Question: Kids: We had to use the fire extinguisher. Chef Randall: But that's another story. So, anyway, today I'd like to share with you our favorite ... at least my favorite ... chocolate chip cookie recipe. Now, before you switch the TV channel, I know what you are thinking. "Another fattening cookie recipe." But wait. What makes this recipe great is that it offers a wonderful low-fat, low-calorie, low-cholesterol dessert for the entire family. Kids: We still like the fat though. Chef Randall: Well, I know we do. But let's see. We have all the ingredients, so we can start by mixing all of the ingredients, the sugars, the flour, the egg whites, the low-fat butter, vanilla, baking soda, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Then, we add the mini chocolate chips. Now, my kids would like me to add the big ones but we start with the mini-chocolate chips. And don't forget to preheat the oven to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit). And finally, when the cookies are done, take them out of the oven, remove them from the cookie sheet, and let them cool before their fingers get into them. Did I forget anything? Kids: Yeah, if you have college-age kids, be sure to make a few extra batches they can take back to school for their roommates. And don't forget the kids still at home. Chef Randall: Oh, well yeah. We can't do that. We can't forget them. And unfortunately, by the time your kids get the cookies, you, the cook, will be left with a single cookie - your instant diet plan for you - and a dirty kitchen. So, that's all for today. On next week's show, we will be showing you how to feed hungry teenagers on a budget without having to sell the family car. Until then. What was said before this conversation?
Answer:
Chef Randall: Well, hello everyone, and welcome to today's show. And joining me today is my daughter, Ashley, who has had to endure my cooking experiments over the years. Are we ready, Ashley? [Ready to eat.] No, let's wait for a few minutes. We'll get to that. But as you know, my faithful listeners, I starting cooking and baking almost 30 years ago when my grandmother taught me in her humble kitchen. In fact, she taught almost me everything I know, and I've never attended cooking classes [You should have ...] Wait, wait, wait ... I know my daughter's going to mention to you faithful listeners that recently as I was helping the kids prepare for our kitchen for chicken meal, I forgot to take the chicken out of the oven, burned the bird to a crisp, and we ended up ordering pizza for dinner.
