[Q]: Read the below conversation. Woman: Hey, how are you doing? Man: Uh, I guess okay ... kind of. Woman: Yeah, Mom said Daniel isn't doing so well. What's going on? Man: Well, uh, for some reason I always thought raising kids would be a lot easier than it is. Woman: Yeah, I know. Tell me about it. What's, what's the problem? Man: Well, for about six months, he's been really down, and sometimes, I can't get him out of bed in the morning to go to school. He just seems so depressed. I just can't figure it out. Woman: So, this has been going on like half a year? Man: Yeah, kind of on and off, but I don't know. I ... I just thought it would just kind of go away, and I just thought things would just get, I don't know, get better. Woman: Yeah, that's not, that's pretty worrrisome. Um, I mean, I've noticed he's not hanging out with Jared very much anymore. You know, is he ... what's he doing when he's up? Man: Well, uh, a lot of the time he's not up. He just kind of uh, stays in bed. [ Really? ] I just can't figure it out. I don't know. Woman: Yeah, that's, that's a big problem. I can see why you're really worried about him. Have you considered taken him to see a therapist, or a psychologist, or anybody? Man: Ah, no. I, I ... It's probably just a phase or something. I think some kids were picking on him at school, but I think that's stopped. He doesn't talk about it anymore, so I guess that's over. Woman: So, you're saying that he was like being bullied and stuff? Man: Yes, yeah. But he didn't talk about it a lot. I thought it was just, you know, having some problems, and it just kind of would go away. Woman: Well, you know, I don't know about that with the bullying or whatever, but you know, this has been going on for a long time. You really need to seriously address it. Man: I don't know. Uh, and well, his girlfriend just broke up with him, so I guess maybe that's had an impact on him. Woman: Yeah, it has. Uh, that explains a lot. Um, have you looked at his Facebook page lately? [ What? ] He posted some stuff, well, he was posting... What would the listener say?

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. W: What's the matter, Paul? You look terrible. M: I've just taken my chemistry exam and I'm pretty sure I failed it. I don't know where the professor got some of those questions. I don't see how in the world I could pass. W: Come on now. You've been doing very well all year long. It's not very likely you'd suddenly forget everything. Oh, by the way, have the physics grades been posted yet? M: I didn't go and look. I was so busy worrying about chemistry. Do you think there's any possibility of me passing for the year if I fail the final? What would the listener say?

Answer: W: Sure there is. It's the average that is important. Come on. Just relax. How about having a cup of coffee?

M: Jim and Betty came in their car about ten o'clock in the morning, and we left soon afterwards. W: And where did you go for the picnic? M: We went to National Park. W: Oh, it's lovely in National Park at this time of the year. M: Yes, and the sun shone all day. W: There's a river in National Park; did you have your lunch near the river? M: Yes, we had lunch near the river. Then, after lunch, we went for a walk along the river. Then we climbed up to the top of a hill, and looked at the beautiful view. W: What did you do then, Tom? M: Well, we went back to the car, and we drove to another part of National Park, and we had afternoon tea there. Then we started to drive home. W: Oh, you left early! M: Yes, Mary.
