Q: Read the below conversation. W: Bob, do you know who I saw the other day? Old Jake, looking terribly depressed. Did he get pensioned off at last? M: Yes. They made him retire after 50 years at sea. He is pretty upset about it, but what can you do? He really is pasted. W: He is all alone, isn't he? M: Yes, his wife has been dead for years. They had one daughter, Dories. But she went off to town as soon as she left school. And he hasn't heard from her since. I hear she is making good money as a model. W: Maybe someone could get in touch with her. Get her to come back for a while to help? M: I don't suppose she come. She never got on with her father. He is bit of a tough character and she is rather selfish. Oh, I expect old Jake will get by. He is healthy at least, comes into a clinic for a check regularly. W: Are you his doctor? M: No, my partner doctor Johnson is. W: That bad-tempered old thing? M: Oh, he isn't really bad-tempered. He just looks it. He is an excellent doctor, taught me a lot, and he has a very nice family. His wife invites me over there to supper every week. Very pleasant. What would the listener say?
A: W: Yes. I teach their daughter Pen at school. She is a bit careless and lazy about her school work, but a bright little thing and very popular with her age group.

input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. M: I'm really mad at Mom and Dad. W: Why? What did they do? M: I asked them for a leather jacket for my birthday, and they just got me this ugly raincoat. W: Oh, come on! It's a beautiful raincoat. M: I don't care! I wanted a leather jacket. I tried on Bill's, and I looked great in it. W: You know a leather jacket is expensive. Maybe they didn't have enough money. M: I want to return it and get a leather jacket! All my friends have leather jackets. W: They don't all have leather jackets. M: Anyway, on your birthday Mom and Dad gave you what you asked for! W: That's true, but all I asked for was a pair of new jeans! M: I hate this raincoat. W: All right, how much is a leather jacket? M: If I return this raincoat, I only need another $ 50. W: OK.

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: Well, what did you think about Candy, the last candidate? Do you think we should hire her? W: She had a very impressive resume, but she seemed to lack the confidence that I think a good manager needs. Did you notice the way that she avoided making eye contact with us while she talked? M: She was a bit nervous, I guess. What else? W: When she first walked into the room to greet us, she didn't shake hands with us or introduce herself at all. I thought that was a bit unprofessional. M: You're right. If she walked into a meeting with our clients like that, it would make our company look bad. That made me worried most. What would the listener say?
++++++++
Answer: W: It sure would.
