[Q]: Read the below conversation. W: Have you seen the movie "Hangover"? We went to see it last night. M: How was it? What would the listener say?

[A]: W: Jason thought it was extremely amusing, but I was a bit disappointed.
input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. Sam: Hey, Henry, how's everything going, and what's with the flowers? Henry: They're for my wife. Sam: Oh, a wedding anniversary or something? Henry: To tell the truth, it couldn't be worse. [Oh]. You see, I have to pick my wife up from the airport this evening, but while she was gone, there were a few minor mishaps. Sam: Oh really? What happened? Henry: Well, I had some of the guys over Friday night to watch a basketball game on TV, but one of them got all excited, and started horsing around, waving his arms, and he accidentally knocked over my wife's 250-year old Chinese porcelain vase given to her [Oh no!], given to her by her grandmother, and broke it beyond repair. Sam: Man, have you tried ... Henry: ... super glue? Yeap, but she would be able to tell in a second I was trying to pull something over her eyes. Sam: Oh, wow. You're in hot water now. Henry: If it had only been that. Sam: Oh, there's more? Henry: Yeah, you see, the water from the vase spilled all over the manuscript of a book my wife has been writing for the past two years. It blurred the ink over many of the pages. [Oh no.] And so one of the guys had the bright idea of drying the pages by the fire while we watched, uh, the rest game, but a spark from the fire must have blown out and burned the manuscript to a crisp. Sam: But what about an electronic file copy? Had one, didn't she? Henry: Well, actually, her computer crashed the day before while I was playing some computer games, and I haven't been able to get it to work since. Sam: Man, are you in trouble now. [I know.] You're going to have a hard time digging yourself out of this one. [Yeah.] Ah, so I get it now. You're buying the flowers for her as a part of some kind of peace offering, right? Henry: No, not at all. They're for my funeral. What would the listener say?

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: Hi, Mrs. Smith. Nice to see you here. W: Hi, Mr. White. I'm here to buy a pair of shoes for Tom again. M: He wore out the pair you bought last month? W: Yes. Sometimes I think I should buy him a pair of iron shoes. M: Oh, no. What you need is a pair of strong and comfortable shoes. W: What's your suggestion? M: Maybe you should buy him a pair of leather shoes. W: Tom doesn't like leather shoes. M: Then, how about sports shoes? They are strong and comfortable. W: It seems that is the only choice. All right. I'll take your suggestion. How about this pair? What would the listener say?

Answer: M: They are good.
Problem: Read the below conversation. F: Do you have to change planes in Tokyo, Jim? What would the listener say?

A: M: Certainly. We arrive there at ten and leave at twelve.
Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. W: I enjoy going through secondhand bookstores, don't you? It's interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading. Did you see this old book of children's stories? M: Some of these books aren't so old, though. See? This novel was published only six years ago. It cost seventy-five cents. W: Hey! Look at this! M: What? Are you getting interested in nineteenth-century plays all of a sudden? W: No. Look at the signature. Someone gave this book as a present, and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It's dated 1856. Maybe it's worth something. M: Everything on that shelf is worth fifty cents. W: But if this is the signature of someone who is well-known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars. M: Oh? I can hardly read what the one says. Who wrote it? W: The name looks like "Harold Dickinson". Wasn't he a politician or something? I'm going to buy this book and see if I can find a name like that in the library. What would the listener say?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
M: Good luck. Your book of plays may make you rich, but I'll bet my seventy-five cents novel is a better buy.
