Q: Read the below conversation. W: Good morning, everybody. Today, for our writing class, we are glad to have Mr. Henry Stone with us, a well-known writer in this country. He is going to share with us his writing experiences. Now, Henry, please tell us how you find so many interesting things for your stories. What would the listener say?
A: M: OK. I watch people a lot. I do that when I travel. I've been to many countries such as Britain, Italy and Sweden. So I spend a lot of time at airports. While waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day, when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple. They were buying magazines at that moment. They were not wearing business clothes, but the man was carrying a suitcase. Every few seconds, the woman looked around. I wondered if someone was following them. Perhaps they were running away, and you know, this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day: a bank clerk stole one million pounds a week before and disappeared with his wife. There was a picture of them in the paper. The couple really looked like the wiz. Maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other, and the woman walked away. Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that. But I find things like that are very useful for my writing.

W: Did you like the White House? M: Oh, yes. I thought it was beautiful. I wanted to stay longer. W: I did, too. But we've got a lot of things to see. M: The line wasn't long this morning, was it? W: No, it wasn't. We were lucky. M: I wonder if the president and his family use the rooms we saw. They look more like a museum than somebody's house. W: Yes. They are the public rooms. The President's family lives upstairs. M: What do they use the public rooms for? W: For important affairs. The President usually entertains members of the government and visitors from other countries. M: I hope I could get a reception at the White House some time. What would the listener say?
