input question: Read the below conversation. W: Hi, Professor Smith. I hear you've written a book titled Visions. M: Yes. It explains how science will revolutionize the 21st century. W: Could I ask you some questions concerning the book? M: Sure. W: Are you optimistic about the future? M: Generally, yeah. If we go back to the year of 1900, most Americans didn't live beyond the age of 50. Since then, we've had improvements in health care and technology. There is no reason why these won't continue far into the 21st century. W: Are we ready for the changes that will come? M: Changes are already happening. The future is here now. We have DNA, microchips, the internet. Some people's reaction is to say, we are too old; we don't understand new technology. My reaction is to say, we must educate people to use new technology now. W: Is world population going to be a big problem? M: Yes, and no. I think that world population will stop increasing as we all get richer. If you are a part of the middle class, you don't want or need 12 children. W: Will there be a world government? M: Very probably. We will have to manage the world and its resources on a global level because countries alone are too small. W: Will we have control of everything? What would the listener say????
output answer: M: I think we'll learn to control the weather, volcanoes and earthquakes. Illness won't exist. We'll grow new livers, kidneys, hearts, and lungs like spare parts for a car. People will live to about 130 or 150. For 2000 years, we have tried to understand our environment. Now we'll begin to control it.
Read the below conversation. M: You know, Sally, we've both been working too hard. We've got to get away for a while, even if it's just for a few days. W: What a good idea, Eric! That would be wonderful. Let me look at my schedule...I could take off a week from Thursday, but no sooner. M: Let me look at my schedule too...Yes, that looks good. W: I thought you had a basketball game every Thursday until the end of the month. M: Oh, you're right. I must have forgotten to write that down. How about the next Thursday after that? Basketball season's over then. Do you know if you can get it off? W: That's Thursday and Friday, the third and fourth? I don't care if I can-I will get off. We need the change. Where would you like to go? New York? M: No, we don't have enough time to go there, and it's too expensive anyway. W: And we want to relax, not run around all the time. I know! Do you remember that little hotel in Wilmington, Vermont, where we stayed years ago? That would be perfect. M: Well, that was July, though. I wonder if they're open in the winter. W: Most likely, during skiing season. Uh...oh, I'd forgotten about skiing season. I don't know if we could get a room. M: I'll call and find out. Do you remember the name? What would the listener say?

Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. W: Good morning. Sit down please, Mr. Johnson. M: Thank you, madam. W: I have read your letter here. You seemed to have done very well at school. Can you tell me something about your school work? M: As you can see, my strongest subjects were arts subjects. My best subject was history and my second best was geography. However, my favorite subject was math, and the results I got in the math paper were quite reasonable. W: That's true. Now, can you tell me why you think these subjects will help you in this job? M: Well, madam, I understand that you manufacture computers, prepare software, and advise clients on how to use them. Is that right? W: That's right. M: And I've been told that working with computers needs a logical mind rather than great skills in mathematics. That's especially true, I believe, when it comes to writing programs. So I think my results show that I have some ability in logic and in mathematics as well. W: So, you would like to write material for computers, would you? M: Yes, madam. That's what interests me most about computers - writing programs, but I think the computer industry itself is still expanding enormously. I'm sure that career prospects in the industry would be very good no matter what sort of job I went into. W: I see, well, thank you. I've enjoyed our talk. We'll be writing to you. What would the listener say?
