Laughter is really a good medicine to patients. Can you give us another example?M: Sure! Norman Cousins, editor of the Saturday Review, learned this during a battle with an illness. He discovered that his condition improved when he enjoyed himself and watched funny movies.W: You said Norman learned this? Do we have to learn to laugh?M: Not necessarily.

Do you have such a program to offer to the general public?M: Yes, we do. It's called the Smile Time-Out. You take a deep breath, smile, exhale, and say "Aaah" while visualizing all your muscles and cells smiling. Then add to that a memory of a time you felt really good and laughed and laughed.W: What about the situation in which you aren't in a mood to laugh?M: Even when you fake a smile or laugh, you get the same physiological benefits as when it's the real thing, because your mind is smart, but your body is stupid and can't tell the difference! | 5 | P3 | dream_answer_to_dialogue | fs_noopt |

output answer: Frank: Hi, Terry, you're just back from New York.Terry: Yes.Frank: It must be an exciting trip.Terry: Well, I've really seen lots of things. I saw the most spectacular view when I was crossing a bridge to Manhattan at dusk, and the skyscrapers were lit up producing a classic nighttime view of Manhattan.Frank: That's really beautiful.Terry: But that's not the whole picture. Some of the streets in New York are very rough. I saw large piles of garbage cans at the roadside, and graffiti all over garage doors and store shutters.Frank: I can't believe it.Terry: The garbage are tidily bagged and boxed, though.Frank: Did you stay in a hotel?Terry: Yes. The hotel we stayed at turned out to be fairly decent, though the room was small, with a tiny bathroom that was only about 3 feet larger than the bed. As I was inexperienced with tourist-area hotels, I was startled, I mean, the room was $129 a night. But at least the room was clean and the bed reasonably comfortable.Frank: What's your general impression of New York?Terry: Well, restaurants pack their tiny tables very tightly; grocery stores and bookstores have aisles that are narrow; the sidewalks are cluttered with newsstands, vendors and their carts, and places that aren't restrictively small, such as the lawns around the Natural History Museum, are full of people, so they're no escape.

So you're pretty tired when you come to class.M: That's exactly why I want to borrow your notes. My notes aren't very good.W: So what do you usually do in class?M: I'm always awake at the beginning, but thirty minutes after class begins I feel sleepy and have trouble keeping my eyes open.W: Well, I need someone to study with and you need someone to keep you awake. Can we be study partners?M: Oh sure. That's a good idea. So give me a push when you see me sleeping in class.W: OK. Let's start today in the library.

input: Please answer the following: Given the question "Why do some people say they never have dreams according to Dr Garfield?" and the answer "They forget about their dreams.", write a conversation that might have happened.
++++++++++
output: M: We are glad to have Dr. Garfield to talk to us today about dreams. Let me start by asking the first question. Does everyone dream?W: It appears that everyone does. Mostly when people say that they never dream, what they really mean is that they don't remember their dreams or they don't think their dreams are important. The reason behind is that they might have been made fun of with a child when they first reported their dreams or it was so frightening that they just turned off dreaming completely. The other day, someone named Davis came to me and said that he used to be a great dreamer, but suddenly he stopped having dreams. I asked him what it happened. It turned out that his brother died by heart attack and he never expected that such a terrible thing would happen to a young person. Generally, when there was some frightening event and dream about it was too terrible. People prefer not to dream about it. Actually the worst thing you can do is stop dreaming. Because it means that the bad experience would be too painful to even appear in dreams. As long as you dream about it and even the dream is frightening, your mind is working on it. My personal opinion about what dreams do is that they help us deal with our problems. We see certain patterns take place in dreams. When a person is hurt deep inside, when a person is seriously ill or when a person has been really sad, if people turn off their dreams totally, it means they don't love themselves to even think about it.

Why don't you choose to do art and design?Anna Maria: Well, I'm interested in electronics-in computer-especially in writing computer games. I'd like to produce educational software, educational games, eventually. I've taught myself a lot of programming- I... I don't think I'd benefit much from a foundation level course.Tutor: No... no, I see that-go on.Anna Maria: So, er, I want the basics-the physical science and electronics I was hopeless at physics in school and we didn't have electronics-but I was good at maths-I don't think I need that.Tutor: And the art and design?Anna Maria: That will be good for my graphics-I need that to produce games-CAD too-I've never done CAD before.Tutor: No-right-they've got some powerful packages in the computer graphics and CAD offices-you'll enjoy that. So... that leaves English. It's mostly English lit. I know your English is very good, but did you know you can take English as a foreign language as one of the modules in the foundation year?Anna Maria: No... no, I didn't. That's great - if they've got classes at my level. I don't have any problem speaking-but my writing is...

But she said it was a communication problem.W: So now what do you plan to do since she got the job half done?M: On one side, I will not pay her full fees since she wasn't honest with me in the beginning. On the other side, I have to search around for another guy to complete the job.W: I agree. That should also teach her a lesson. For us, I think we had better turn to our Part-time Job Center for help. There, we can get a professional to work at it.

How believable is a plot about a captain who navigates his spaceship to the far reaches of the galaxy and encounters a race of frog people.

He was always talking to himself, and he had that funny hairdo?Daughter: Well, he was a little ... unusual [Yeah, yeah], but the ship's doctor was amazing. It was so cool when he brought the captain back to life during one of the battles.Father: That was pretty realistic, but then the rest of the movie just went from bad to worse. And the photography was so fake!Daughter: How do you know? You were snoring so loud the neighbors probably had to close their windows.

Problem: Given the question "What do we learn about the students at the Polytechnic?" and the answer "They are all adults.", write a conversation that might have happened.
A: M: I got two letters this morning with job offers, one from the Polytechnic, and the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy.W: So you are not sure which to go for?M: That's it. Of course, the conditions of work are very different: The Polytechnic is offering two-year contract which could be renewed, but the Language School is only offering a year's contract, and that's a definite minus. It could be renewed, but you never know.W: I see. So it's much less secure. But you don't need to think too much about steady jobs when you are only 23.M: That's true.W: What about the salaries?M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short term. I'll be getting the equivalent of about 22,000 pounds a year there, but only 20,000 pounds at the Polytechnic. But then the hours are different. At the Polytechnic I'd have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administration, whereas the Pistoia school is only asking for 30 hours teaching.W: Mmm...M: Then the type of teaching is so different. The Polytechnic is all adults and mostly preparation for exams like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit of exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in companies and factories, and a couple of children's classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching.W: Well, that sounds much more varied and interesting. And I'd imagine you'd be doing quite a lot of teaching outside the school, and moving around quite a bit.M: Yes, whereas with the Polytechnic position, I'd be stuck in the school all day.

A lot of tourists came to that particular area, and so with English, they would be able to communicate not only with suppliers, you know things that they need for restaurant's food and so forth, but also with their customers, and so I taught them English and cooking at the same time.Woman: Wow.

output: W: Now you've seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get?M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don't quite understand the column entitled change. Can you explain what it means?W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent.M: Oh yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.W: Yes. Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?M: I am sorry I've no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That's strange, isn't it? And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.M: Yes, I don't understand that at all.W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?M: I don't know. I think I'll probably give them 2 pounds a week.W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn't expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.W: Yes. By the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?M: Yeah, they do.
