Q: Read the below conversation. M: Now some doctors are strongly encouraging arm exercises. W: Arm exercises? Is that because arms are too fat or too soft? M: Actually that's not the main reason. They say that arm exercises can make you physically healthy. W: But I was told that arm exercises could raise your blood pressure. M: Yes, but the article I read suggests some ways to make up for that. W: Really? How? M: By adding leg exercises, so that the arms don't do all the work. W: And in return, I'm sure that there's a good chance of losing weight. M: Sounds right to me. W: So what exercises do the experts suggest? M: They mentioned quite a few exercises, but one of the most popular ones is cycling. What would the listener say?
A: W: Good, I must try that.
Question: Read the below conversation. Heather: Hi, Tim. [Hi] I'm really sorry to hear about your dad. My sincerest condolences go out to you and your family. He was such a great man. Tim: Thanks. As you know, he had been sick for some time before he passed away, so we were somewhat prepared. Heather: So, how's your mom taking it? Tim: Oh, it's been really hard on her. I don't think you get over something like that. Heather: Yeah, I'm sure. My heart really goes out to her. [Thanks.] Uh, so how's your mom going to be able to manage things alone? Tim: Well, financially, mom will be able to live a secure life from now on. I mean, Dad had life insurance and substantial investments in property and stocks, so returns on those should take care of her. [That's good to hear.] But our main concern at this moment is her emotional state. [Yeah.] She's really down, so a call now and again should brighten her day. Heather: So, what are the funeral arrangements? The obituary in the paper didn't mention much about the funeral. Tim: Well, some of the family members will get together on Tuesday morning for a private memorial service, but there will be a viewing in the afternoon from 2:00 to 3:00, followed by the funeral service. One of my uncles will be giving the eulogy. Heather: I wish there was something I could do you. * Tim: Well, actually, there is. [Oh?]. You know, Dad really admired you a lot, and before he died, he asked if you'd sing a musical number at the funeral. Heather: Really? I'd be honored. Tim: It would really mean a lot to the family. Heather: Sure. Then, see you on Tuesday. What would the listener say?
Answer: Tim: Okay, see you then.

I want to try to use white vinegar in the water and it helped a little. W: Sugar is even better. M: It is worth trying, I will tell my wife. How much do I owe you? W: Let's see.
