input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. M: What do you think of Professor Potter's course, Jane? W: Not much. M: Why, what's wrong with it? W: Oh, I don't know. It's just that he overloads it with details. The course he gave on town planning last year, it was just the same-a load of details, which you could have got from a book anyway. There was no overall ... M: No general overview you mean? W: Yes. I suppose you could call it that. I couldn't see the town for the buildings. M: But you've got to have the details in this kind of subject. Anyway I think he's good. You take his first lecture for instance. I thought that was very interesting, and not at all over-detailed. W: Well, he starts off all right, but then he just piles on the details. M: Now you're exaggerating. W: Well, the way he dealt with the Western developments, that wasn't bad, I suppose. M: You seem to have got something. Perhaps Potter is a little disorganized, but I think he's good. W: Do you really think so? M: He does do most of his teaching to the postgraduates. He only does the one undergraduate course each year. After all, I think he tends to forget where he is. He starts off being nice and general and then tries to cram in a bit too much specialized information. What would the listener say?

Question: Read the below conversation. M: Catherine, you look great in these photos. W: Oh, thanks. I got into that wedding dress with great difficulty. It was too small. M: Why didn't you get one your size? W: Oh, it was my grandmother's - my mother wore it on her wedding day, and I really wanted to wear it on mine. I suffered for six months so I could wear it. M: How did you do it? W: Do you know this diet that many actors are doing? I don't think it's very healthy if you do it for a long time, but it really works. M: I think meat is not allowed in your diet. W: No, actually, you can eat things like, um, roast chicken, steak, and bacon, but you can't eat any bread and butter. M: Is it the diet that you love but have to avoid? What would the listener say?
Answer:
W: That's right. Dieting is so boring. Hopefully, I won't need to wear the wedding dress again anyway.
