As you are so distinguished, you will definitely find the person who is right for you. M: To tell you the truth, I am tired of being alone. I hope to find my Mrs. Right. What should I do? W: Do you believe in Internet matchmaking service? M: That's really a new walk of life. What is it exactly? W: It helps match up singles the world over, and helps find the man and woman of their dreams. M: Oh, it must be to the taste of a certain group of people. W: The advertisement said Dream Dates has matched up thousands of singles the world over! M: Unbelievable! They must be exaggerating the figure! W: Look at the way they manage their business: they collect applicants' photos, and give the applicants questionnaires to fill out as to what type of character they are. M: I don't believe several questions can decide the type of person you're. People's characters are complicated and keep changing all the time. W: Anyway, it seems that things work well this way. The information and specifications will be entered in a large computer database. M: A computer to decide your best date? That's really ridiculous! W: Look, it promises: Dream Dates provides expert dating service and a place for singles to meet. We'll introduce you to the person uniquely qualified to be your partner. M: Sheer slogans! Not reliable! W: It says you can enroll in a free trial membership! M: I won't do it even they pay me for that! W: Well, we don't have to believe this. Maybe I can tell John, and see whether he'd like to try it. Question: What's the woman's attitude toward the net matchmaking service? - It won't hurt to try. - It needs checking. - It is definitely trustworthy.
It won't hurt to try.
