W: Yes, I had a terrible experience on the underground train when I was on the way to work. I tell you, a man came up to me and pulled out a knife. He pointed it right at me. M: Oh, no. Are you all right? Did he hurt you? W: No, he didn't, but he took my handbag. M: Then what happened? What did you do? W: I caught hold of his knife and he pushed me to the floor. M: Oh, no. Why did you catch hold of his knife? That's dangerous. W: I don't know. I didn't think. M: What did the other passengers do? Did they help you? W: Yes. Two men ran after the robber and held him. M: Did the police come? W: Yes, the police were called and two policemen came and took the robbers to the police station. M: What a story! Thank God, you are all right.

Answer: M: Wow, your coat's got very dirty. Did you fall?
Q: 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? 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. What was said before this conversation?
A: W: This business of having to be a role model, where you can never relax, hang loose, can you?

[A]: M: I am not sure when to leave for the lecture.
input: Please answer the following: W: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today? M: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn't coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what a particular sport means to me-one I participate in. W: What sport did you choose? M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing. W: What are you going to say about skiing? M: That's the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country. W: So why is that a problem? M: As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods, I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn't as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy. But that's not part of my paper, so I guess I should leave it out. But now I don't know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It's not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That's different. W: Then you'll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of your point you knew beforehand, but part you discovered as you wrote. That's common, right? M: Yeah, I guess so ... What was said before this conversation?

output: M: Hello, Professor Johnson.
W: Yeah! It wouldn't have been the same watching this movie at home on TV. The huge screen and sound system in this theater really made a difference. M: And when the aliens started shooting lasers at the ship, I was like, whoa! I jumped back in my seat. They were so scary, with those big eyes and long, weird fingers. W: I hope I don't have nightmares tonight about being taken prisoner by aliens. M: Just remember - the astronauts won the battle. They defeated the aliens and saved the planet earth, so you don't have to worry. W: That's right! Hey, do you have any more popcorn left? M: I can't believe you're still hungry! We ate almost an entire large popcorn, plus candy and soda. W: I didn't eat lunch! Let's get some ice cream and see another movie. I want to watch the comedy about the talking cats. It's starting in 20 minutes! M: Or we could see the one about the prisoners breaking out of jail! W: No, I'd rather see something funny. M: OK, that sounds good.
