input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. M: So, how long have you been living here? W: About six months now. M: Why did you choose Beirut? W: Because, Mike-my husband-and I have always loved Arab culture and the language. Mike's an English teacher and he got a job here in a language school. M: Why did you want to take a year off? W: Basically I wanted a break from teaching. I love teaching children but I needed a change. Also I've been drawing and painting since I was little but I've never really had the chance to study drawing. So this seemed like the perfect opportunity to have a change and learn to draw properly. M: Well, I found a fantastic art teacher, called Omayma, and I've been having classes with her since October. She's great and she speaks English, which is lucky, because I don't know much Arabic yet. But I'm learning the language as quickly as I can. W: Is Arabic a difficult language to learn? What would the listener say?

output: M: Incredibly difficult! Especially the pronunciation. You have to learn to make a lot of new sounds.

People do it for fitness and fun andtry to better their time every year. W: How long will it take to cycle one way, Robin? M: About seven to nine hours for the average cyclists. Good cyclists can do it in four hours. W: How many people will be taking part this year? M: This is our biggest year ever. We have twelve hundred cyclists registered. W: I doubt they'll block the road when the cyclists start out? M: Don't worry, we've introduced the staggered starts to avoid these problems. Our first group will leave Ottawa at seven o'clock.

input question: Read the below conversation. M: Are you looking forward to a trip to Canada, Julie? W: I can't wait to see Canada, Jack. But I'm afraid of the journey. My husband insists on flying, but I want to sail. Planes make me nervous. M: There is nothing to be frightened of. How many planes fly across the Atlantic every day? W: I've no idea. Hundreds, I suppose. M: And how often do you hear of a plane accident? Once or twice a year? W: Yes, but planes fly so high and fast that one accident is enough. M: Look, there are more road deaths per day than air deaths per year. Air transport is really safe compared with road transport. W: I'd still prefer to go by sea. Ships may not travel fast but at least you can relax. M: It's fine if you are a good sailor, but have you ever traveled far in a rough sea? What would the listener say????
output answer: W: No, I've only been in a boat once. I sailed down the river on a sightseeing tour. But in any case, I'd rather be seasick than dead.'

I have been reading weather reports for the Caribbean on the internet. They seem to have lots of storms. M: They certainly do. When we went on a voyage, we stopped at Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. And both had been hit by storms two weeks before. You could still see a lot of damage. What would the listener say????
output answer:
W: Well, if I decide to go, I'll just have to hope for the best.
