Q: Andrew: What? What's going on? Andrew's Sister: What happened to YOU? Andrew: You mean my hair? You like my hair? Andrew's Sister: Uh, I think you know what I mean, Andrew. Do you want me to be honest? [ What? ] Okay. Andrew. You've put on, like, a ton of weight since I saw you at Christmas time. What on earth happened to you? Andrew: Why are you always so blunt? Andrew's Sister: Well, I'm your big sister. I'm ... what am I? Three years older than you, and I can be blunt if I want. Besides, you used to say stuff like that to me all of the time. You used to call me fatso all the time when I was little. Andrew: Oh, yeah, well, to be honest, uh ..., I started changing my life .... yesterday. [ Oh good! ] I'm on the Wafu Diet. Andrew's Sister: What? I've never even heard of the Wafu Diet. What is that? Andrew: Ah, it's too difficult to explain. I found information about it in my junk mail the other day ... Andrew's Sister: What? You read your junk mail? No one reads their junk mail. Andrew: ... and I signed up for it, and it only cost $490. Andrew's Sister: You're serious?

I think you're getting scammed, and it sounds really stupid, so listen. I'm not fat anymore, so trust me. I ... if you want to lose weight, you need to do it the right way. Andrew: Well, like what? Andrew's Sister: Well, okay. Andrew: Okay, uh, well, look. Look at my running shoes over there. Andrew's Sister: Andrew. They're still in the box. ( Well ... ). Never used. Besides exercise, yeah, exercise is wonderful. It's great, but you also need to learn how to eat right. For example, you need to eat smaller portions. And, and you can't load up your plate with seconds and thirds like you always used to do at the family parties. Andrew: Well, okay. I'll just get a bigger plate! Andrew's Sister: Andrew! That won't help. Next [ Oh, next? ]. Oh... What was said before this conversation?

Problem: Given the question: W: Yes, certainly. I was a marketing consultant responsible for marketing 10 UK hotels. They were all luxury hotels in a leisure sector, all of a very high standard. M: Which markets were you responsible for? W: For Europe and Japan. M: I see from your resume that you speak Japanese. Have you ever been to Japan? W: Yes, I have, I spent months in Japan 2006. I met all the key people in the tourist industry, the big tour operators and the tourist organizations. As I speak Japanese I had a very big advantage. M: Yes, of course. Have you had any contact with Japan in your present job? W: Yes, I've had a lot. The truth is I have become very popular with the Japanese, both for holidays and for business conferences. In fact, the market for all types of luxury holidays for the Japanese has increased a lot recently. M: Really, I'm interested to hear more about that, but first tell me have you ever traveled on the luxury train, the Orient Express, for example? W: No, I haven't. But I've traveled on the Glacial Express through Switzerland and I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago. I love train travel. That's why I'm very interested in this job.
