input question: Read the below conversation. M: So, what's new at the office? What would the listener say????
output answer: W: Well, it was a pretty routine day.
Read the below conversation. M: So you're visiting San Francisco? W: Yes, I just got here yesterday. And you? M: I'm a native. W: Oh, really? Everyone else I've met so far has been a tourist like us. I was beginning to think that there were no natives. M: Well. San Francisco has a lot of different ethnic groups so you might think you're seeing a lot of foreigners. But actually, the city has a population of about 700 000. W: What are the different ethnic groups? M: Web, after whites, the largest one is blacks. W: I thought it was Chinese. M: It's true that San Francisco has the largest Chinese community outside of Asia. But there are many more blacks here than Chinese. W: That's interesting. Don't most of the Chinese people live in China-town? M: Well, no, they live all over the city, but China-town is definitely the center of Chinese culture here. That's where you'll find the best Chinese restaurants, bookstores, art, theaters, things like that. W: What about the Japanese? Doesn't San Francisco have a large Japanese population too? M: No, actually there are only about 12 000 Japanese people here, but we do have an area called "Japan-town" that has Japanese restaurants and bookstores. W: You seem to know a lot about this city. M: Well, most San Franciscans think their city is pretty special. We like to talk about it. Besides, I teach ethnic history at the university here. What would the listener say?

Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. W: I understand how you feel, sir. But there simply isn't any room. The person who received your reservation call must have forgotten to write it down. I'm afraid it was just a mistake. She is new, you know. M: Just a mistake? Do you realize that I've invited some very important people to dinner? It could cause me to lose an important business partner. W: I'm sorry, sir. I suggest you call them and explain the problem. I'm sure you'll find several other very good restaurants around here. M: I can't get in touch with them now. They are probably on their way at this very minute. Surely you could fit one more table in. W: Not unless you'd like me to put you in the hall, sir. What would the listener say?
