Read the below conversation. M: Hey, I'm calling to say that I'm running late to the airport. Can you make sure that the plane doesn't take off without me? W: I'll try. M: Thank you. I'm just sitting here in traffic. There must be an accident or something. I've been here for 30 minutes, and I've barely made it onto the bridge. W: Oh, that's not good. M: This traffic is really stressing me out. I don't want to have to take a later flight! W: I'm sure you'll be able to make it. The plane doesn't leave for another 2 hours. M: Yes, but Google Maps is telling me that I won't be at the airport for another hour and 45 minutes, which means I'll only have 15 minutes to check my bags, get through security, and arrive at the gate. That's impossible! W: You can ask to skip to the head of the line in security. They're usually pretty good about that when you think you might miss your flight. What would the listener say?

Question: Read the below conversation. M: I am sure you've noticed a lot of things that are different about our school. W: Oh, yes. In the United States, we don't have to carry a big school bag with us like you do. M: Why is that? W: We have a locker of our own, which is a small box with a lock. We keep textbooks and our personal things in it. I just bring a day-pack to school. M: A day-pack? W: Yes. It's a small bag that you carry on your back. M: What do you carry in it? W: My notebooks or a few books for homework. M: That's convenient. Is there anything else you've noticed about our school? W: Yes. I am surprised that everyone is so silent in class. M: What do you mean? W: Well, we usually ask questions about exams, homework or textbooks on the first day of the school year. The teacher likes such questions. M: So you felt it different. W: Yes. I expected to see a lot of discussions in class, because we learn in that way in the United States. M: I see. That would be a good topic for our school newspaper for the first month of the term. Nice talking with you. See you around. Bye. What would the listener say?
Answer: W: Bye.
