input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. Nate: Hey Phil: Have you ever been to a Japanese public bath? I hear it's quite an experience. Phil: Yes, and what an experience. Nate: What do you mean? Phil: Well, it's nothing like visiting a swimming pool in the States. Nate: Well, what do you do when you go to a public bath? Phil: First, you take off your shoes before you enter. Nate: Okay. Phil: Then, you pay an entrance fee to the man or woman at the front counter. [Um-huh]. Next, you get undressed in the dressing room. And I was very surprised ... and a little embarrassed to see that the woman who took my money was sitting on a platform where she had a clear view of the men's side of the dressing room. [Really?] This allows the workers to keep an eye on the patrons' belongings while they are in the bath. Nate: Wow. And do you wear a bathing suit or something? Phil: Oh no! You don't wear anything. Then you go into the main bathing area and wash your body while sitting on a small stool about 40 centimeters high. Nate: On a stool!? Phil: Yeah. It was really hard getting used to bathing in that position. Sometimes, even, people wash each other's backs. Nate: Oh really. So, what do you do after that? Phil: Well, after you've rinsed off all the soap, they usually have two or three large baths where you can soak for a while. Nate: Do you actually share the bath with other people? Phil: Yeah. Traditionally, the bath played an important role in the community. It gave neighbors an opportunity to socialize while bathing. Nate: Huh. Interesting. What would the listener say?

output: Phil: When you're all done bathing, people relax in the dressing room by watching TV, drinking tea or juice, or talking to friends. It's quite an experience.
Please answer this: Read the below conversation. W: I like that picture you put up on the wall yesterday. M: Thank you. It's a photo that I took on my vacation last year. W: You took it yourself? M: I've been taking pictures for years. W: Sounds interesting. Can I see some more of your pictures? M: Yes, certainly. Some of them are just faces of people who interest me. W: Do you let them know that you're taking pictures of them? M: I try not to. I like people who are going about their business without knowing the camera is there.

input question: Read the below conversation. W: Good morning, Mr. Jacob. Is everything all tight? M: No, it's not. Someone's stolen some of my valuables two rings and a gold necklace. W: I'm very sorry to hear that, sir. Where were they? M: In my room. And the door was locked. It can only be one of your staff. I want my things back. And fast. W: Well, I can certainly understand that you're upset about losing them and we'll do all we can to help. If they really are missing,it's a matter for the police. M: What do you mean, if they are missing? I told you they were. W: Yes, Sir. But first I'll have one of the housekeeping staff look through your room in case they're still there. But I must say that we can't be held responsible. You should have deposited the valuables with Reception. It says so on the Key Card. M: That's not good enough. I want to see the manager immediately.

W: I think we should get there earlier to be sure we get tickets. Could you make it at seven? What would the listener say????
output answer:
M: Sure. I'll see you then.
