Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. M: By the way, do you know what time it is? W: Well, it's a quarter to two. M: Oh, I've got to go. W: See Linda in the library?

The answer is:
W: All right.
input question: Read the below conversation. M: That is it. I know that it is smaller than you wanted, but it is one of the nicest apartments in the building. W: Does it have three bedrooms? M: No. There are two. The master bedroom is quite spacious, though. Maybe you could let the children share the larger room, and you and your husband could use the smaller one. W: I suppose that I could do that. M: A three-bedroom apartment will be difficult to find. W: Yes I know. Believe me, I have been looking for over a week. The few three-bedroom apartments that I have found are either extremely expensive or the owner won't allow children. M: Well, the owner allows two children in this apartment complex. W: Aren't you the owner? M: No. I am the manager. I live here, too, on the first floor of this building. W: Oh. That's nice. Then if anything gets broken ... M: Just leave a note on my door, W: You said that the rent would be $ 350 a month. Does that include any of the utilities? M: Yes. It includes gas. Your furnace and stove are gas, so, as you can imagine, your other utilities, electric and water, are quite inexpensive. W: This sounds better and better. But before I sign a lease, I would like my husband to see it. M: Why not stop by with him this evening? W: How late are you open? My husband doesn't get off work until five. M: Come by at six. I will still be in the office. I am sure that you are eager to move from the hotel, and if we get the paperwork out of the way tonight, you can move in tomorrow. What would the listener say????
output answer: W: Oh, that would be wonderful
Read the below conversation. Fisher: Ah, good morning, Ms. Ross, do come in. Ross: Hello, Mr. Fisher. Nice to see you. Fisher: Face to face instead of on the phone, what? Haha. How are you? Ross: Fine, thanks, very well. Fisher: Oh, do sit down. Would you like some coffee? Ross: Oh, yes please, black. Fisher: Here you are. Ross: Thanks. Well, how's it all going? Fisher: Oh, not too bad, we're just about to open a branch in New Zealand. Fisher: Oh! ... I'm hoping to--if I can justify it to the marketing director! How's your little boy, has he started school yet? Ross: Oh, yes, he's in the second year now. Fisher: What, already? Doesn't time fly! Is he enjoying it? Ross: Very much, it's much more fun than being home! Fisher: Haha. Well, I suppose we'd better make a start. Shall we get down to business? Ross: Right. First of all can I confirm the time and date of the presentation? It's Saturday 24 October in the morning. What time exactly? Fisher: Well, on the invitations we've sent out we've said that the presentation itself will start at 11 and go on till 12:30. Ross: So you'll need the room from about 10 till 2. Would you like us to serve coffee beforehand? Fisher: Yes, yes--and drinks and snacks at the end. Ross: Better to have buffet lunch? Fisher: No, I... people who are invited won't be expecting a free lunch. They might think that's overdoing it. They'll want to get back to their families, as it's Saturday. Ross: All right, the normal pre-lunch snack buffet will be what you need--that's basically the same as what you had last February. Fisher: Oh, that'll be fine. Ross: OK, well, we'll charge for the room, coffee and snack buffet at the standard rate less 15%, as we agreed. And we'll charge for the drinks served on a pro-rata basis. Fisher: Free, fine, yes. Ross: What type of... um.., equipment, furniture would you like? Fisher: Well, let's have.., um... four.., no, no... five tables for our display. Er... we'll bring our own stands. Now, there's an overhead projector and sound system already in the room, I... What would the listener say?

Q: Read the below conversation. M: I heard you took Jenny to a dentist yesterday. What was wrong with her? W: She needs fillings because there was something wrong with her teeth. I really shouldn't have given her so much candy. M: How often did you give her candy? W: I gave her candy on a daily basis. M: You make a huge mistake. Giving children candy harms them in various ways. I read an article the other day. It says kids who often eat canny may suffer from obesity, and poor nutrition besides bad teeth. W: So do you give Jim any candy? M: Yes. But I only give him one on a weekly basis. W: It seems you have known the harm of eating too much candy before you read that article. M: Yes,my grandma had had bad teeth due to eating too much candy. So she never let me eat too much candy. W: I'll give Jenny less candy,too. Oh,my husband will come back from work soon. I must go back and prepare dinner now, M: OK. Bye. What would the listener say?
A: W: Bye bye.

Answer: M: Here's $15. Keep the change.
Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: I'm here with Margaret Seabrook, the CEO of Creative Toys. In today's show, we're going to discuss the hottest new toy of 2018: the Super Spinner. Margaret, welcome! W: Thank you, Brian. It's great to be here. M: OK, so tell us about this new toy. W: Well, it's similar to a relaxation ball in its function, but it's useful for anyone who has problems focusing. M: So, how does it work? W: It's about the size of a cookie, and it has three small round parts that can move in any direction. Basically, you just hold it in between your thumb and middle finger and spin it. That's it. M: That's it? W: Yeah. It's very popular not only with children, but with adults as well. M: A professor at MIT by the name of Jill Meanley has publicly stated there is no scientific or medical evidence for your claims about its benefits. Many schools also have banned the toy, saying it leads to a lack of focus in the classroom. W: Well, that professor is allowed to have her opinion. M: Fair enough. And who invented it? W: Catherine Hettinger, a chemical engineer, was first believed to be its creator, but then we found that an IT professional named Scott McCoskery was the actual inventor.
