Please answer this: W: No, not yet. But I think I'm going to take up singing. M: Any special reasons? W: Yes. It's because I am good at singing songs. All my classmates say so. Besides, singing is quite interesting, and you will meet a lot of audience. M: And you will have to please them too. W: Well, you do it in any job, don't you? M: And what do your parents think about it? W: They don't quite agree to my idea. That's the only trouble. M: Yes. Urn... my parents try to send me to an art college because they want me to be an actor. W: Then what will you do? M: Well... I haven't decided yet. But I usually get my own way in the end.

Problem: W: Hi, John. Hey, you've done a good job decorating this place, really nice. M: Thanks, I am glad you like it. Can I get you a drink? W: No, thanks. Let's make dinner. I am getting hungry. M: Here is the kitchen. I will wash the onions first. Could you take the meat out of the fridge? It's in a yellow plastic container. W: Wow, this smells good. M: Could yon pass those potatoes to me, please? W: What are we having? M: My special dumplings, sweet and sour pork, beef with onions and green peppers, and a few side dishes like tomatoes with sugar. W: Sounds wonderful. What are you going to do next?

input: Please answer the following: W: Randy? Randy Betford? Oh, my goodness, you look exactly the same! Even your hair is the same... curls everywhere! M: Well, you look... a lot different... But I mean that in a good way. W: Well, I got tired of that blond hair, so I decided to become a redhead, and I've never looked back! I also lost a lot of weight, and I'm really trying hard to keep it off. I don't wanna look like I did in high school ever again! M: So, do you live here? What do you do? W: I'm a lawyer in Brookfield, the next town over. I just come out here on weekends to do my shopping. What about you? M: I sell insurance, but I'm actually working in Springfield. We're looking to open a new office here in Ovington, so that's why I'm out here. W: Do you like your job? M: Well, I guess I make a nice living, but it's really boring work. I wish I could just change careers. W: I agree. I actually have the opposite problem. I work for an environmental law firm, so the work is exciting, and I feel like I'm really making a difference. The only problem is that the pay is quite low, so I'm basically living hand to mouth every month. M: That sounds like a fair trade, though. I'd switch places with you in a second. Say, would you like to have dinner with me tonight? I know a great seafood place. W: That would be fantastic! What was said before this conversation?
