Problem: 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.

A: W: Morning. Can I help you?
Problem: Given the question: M: What do you think of the food today? W: You have to ask. About as terrible as usual, I'd say. M: You know, I think it's about time a group of us speak to some University officials about the quality of the food. W: Do you have a good idea? M: In my view, we had better get rid of the manager. W: Do you think you are the first to think of that? The problem is that the University doesn't want to change another manager. M: You mean you've been through this before? W: Yes, when I was a freshman, I once did that. I once wrote a letter to the Student Services Official and presented a petition signed by 200 students. M: What was his reaction? W: He asked me why all the other students didn't sign it as well. I told him we only had time for a sample, but I was sure almost all the students would have. M: Why was he so cool towards you? Isn't it a serious question? W: That manager has good friends in the University. You know family connections. What was said before this conversation?
