Dialogue: W: Morning. Can I help you? M: Well, I'm not really sure. I'm just looking. W: I see. Well, there's plenty to look at again this year. I'm sure you'd have to walk miles to see each stand. M: That's true. W: Would you like a coffee? Come and sit down for a minute. No obligation. M: Well, that's very kind of you. But... W: No, please, is this the first year you've been to the fair, Mr. ...? M: Yes. Johnson. James Johnson. W: My name's Susan Carter. Are you looking for anything in particular or are you just interested in computers in general? M: Well, actually, I have some specific jobs in mind. I own a small company. We've grown quite dramatically over the past 12 months and we really need some technological help to enable us to keep on top of everything. W: What's your line of business, Mr. Johnson? M: We are a training consultancy. W: I see. And what do you need to keep on top? M: The first thing is correspondence. We have a lot of standard letters and forms. So I suppose we need some kind of word processor. W: Right. Well, that's no problem. But it may be possible for you to get a system that does a lot of other things in addition to word processing. What might suit you is the MR5000. That's over there. It's IBM compatible. M: What about the price? W: Well, the MR5000 costs 1,050 pounds. Software comes free with the hardware. M: Well, I'll think about it. Thank you. W: Here's my card. Please feel free to contact me. Question: Where did the conversation take place? - At a fair. - At a cafeteria. - In a computer lab.

I think you have a good understanding of the Chinese style. And I suggest you'd better hang two Chinese landscape paintings. M: Oh. That's a good idea. I will buy them in the afternoon. And I'd like to paint the walls again and buy a new sofa. W: What color do you want to paint? M: I don't know exactly, but I'd like to use fresh colors. I think these colors look vivid. W: What about the sofa? M: I have no idea about it. Question: What kind of color will the walls probably be? - Yellow. - Brown. - Black.
