Q: Read the below conversation. M: Hello. W: Hi, Tom. This is Diana from the creative writing class. M: Oh, hi, Diana. What's up? W: Well, I have a new project which I thought you might be interested in. I'm setting up a writer's group, you know, a support group for people who are trying to get published. M: Well, how would it work? W: We get together once a week. I've already arranged for a meeting room in the library, and then we share what we were working on and offer each other some advice. M: I could use some advice. I'm working on a short story that I'd like to get published in the Campus Literature Review. You've done that, haven't you? Didn't I see a poem of yours in the last issue? W: Yes, I was so excited to finally see my work in print. It was presented three times. You just have to keep trying if they turn you down. M: Well, I'm sure the group could help me, but I don't know how much I can contribute. I'm just starting out. W: That's OK. I know from your comments in class that you will be a valuable member. We will get someone more experienced to help us, too. What would the listener say?
A: M: Sounds great. You can definitely count me in.

Q: Read the below conversation. M: You did an excellent job in school! You were indeed a great student! Where did your drive come from? What would the listener say?

Q: Read the below conversation. W: This business of having to be a role model, where you can never relax, hang loose, can you? M: Well, I can't exactly go to hang with my friends at some of the places we used to go to, and just basically raise hell and have a whole bunch of fun. I can't do that any more because it's not good for the public to see that. It's not good for me. W: Your father said you have the ability to be one of the biggest influences in history, not just golf, humanity. What do you think of that? M: I think that is more important than just my golf. I think my golf is merely a vehicle to influence people W: How? M: How? Oh, so many kids look up to role models, so I can help out kids in a positive way, I can influence their lives in a positive way, and I think that's what it's about. W: I mean you are only 21, what's the goal? Where do you go? M: Keep winning. W: But you know, at a certain point, doesn't lose its thing...? M: Winning never gets old and having fun never gets old either. And you always have fun. W: And playing these tournaments is with all the apprehension and everything, still fun? What would the listener say?
A:
M: Always. The day it's not fun is the day I quit And it's been fan since I was in the high chair. And it's fun today.
