#Person2#: I have checked the weather report. It says it will be cloudy, but no rain.
#Person1#: Just take my umbrella in case of rain.
#Person2#: Daniel, don't forget to take enough water and food.
#Person1#: Definitely, or else, I will starve to death halfway up the mountain.
#Person2#: Me, too, haha.
#Person1#: Daddy, may I take your compass? I feel so cool with it in my hand.
#Person2#: All right. Oh, I nearly forgotten, I left my sneakers at my office.
#Person1#: It doesn't matter. I can go with you to the supermarket to pick up a new pair.

#Person2#: How can you stay so calm? Aren't you going to take a look to see if there is anything for you?

#Person1#: Surely having a Granny about the place to give a hand with the housework can take a lot of pressure off a young wife, can't it?
#Person2#: Yes, I think this is true. But remember the old people themselves are often against the idea of going to live with a young family. You see, modern houses and flats are very small; much smaller than the sort of homes people used to live in.
#Person1#: And when Granny gets very old, then the situation becomes even worse, doesn't it?
#Person2#: Yes. As long as old people are able to look after themselves, the system works quite well. But as soon as they need any care and attention, the situation becomes very difficult indeed. It's likely that old people may go into a nursing home, but it's not as simple as that. Because of improvements in medical science, people live longer than ever before. The birth rate has fallen. This means that a smaller working population is having to provide for a larger number of old people in need of care and attention. The number of old people's homes provided by the State is strictly limited. There are private nursing homes, but the cost is out of reach of the average family.
#Person1#: And how do you see the situation developing in the future?
#Person2#: Well, obviously a lot of money is going to have to be spent. But it's difficult persuading people to do this. There aren't many votes for politicians in providing nursing homes for the elderly. | #Person2# states that the old are unwilling to live with the young and they should learn to take care of themselves. Also, he adds that the numbers of the young and the old are imbalanced, so the costs of nursing homes can be huge. | Summarize the following text in a concise manner while retaining its key information.

#Person2#: Do you think it is good for your students to do a lot of homework?
#Person1#: No, I don't think so. Too much homework takes too much of their free time. I seldom give homework to my students on the weekend. They need time to relax and rest, especially on weekends.
#Person2#: You are a great teacher. By the way, what do you do in your free time?

#Person1#: This place is great. I'm surprised they have so much.
#Person2#: Yes, but it takes a while to find things. It's not organized as carefully as a regular store.
#Person1#: I never shopped in an outlet before. We don't have any in my hometown. Why do they call it an 'outlet'?
#Person2#: Sometimes a clothes company makes too many of one item. They can't sell it all in their regular stores. So they send the overstock to an outlet. That's why they call it an outlet. It's a store that let's out products the company cannot sell in regular stores.
#Person1#: And they have faulty products here too.
#Person2#: Yes. A faulty product may be a shirt that has some problem. Or a pair of pants that is ripped a little. Sometimes the fault is very small. So it's a good deal to buy it. Sometimes, if you have a needle
#Person1#: I like to sew, so that's easy for me. I think it's a really good deal. Some of these shirts have only one tiny mistake on them.

#Person3#: Cash or credit, Ma'am?
#Person1#: Credit.
#Person2#: Wow! How many of those sweatshirts are you buying?

#Person2#: Six? Why do you need so many?
#Person1#: They're such a good deal. I'm buying one for Steve, one for his brother Rick, one for my dad, two for my sisters, and one for me.
#Person2#: You really know how to use an outlet store!
#Person1#: I ought to make the most of it while I'm here, don't you think?

#Person1#: How do you use an ATM card, Billy?
#Person2#: It's easy grandpa. Insert you card into the machine here. Then wait a moment. Ok. Now you enter your PIN. It should have four numbers.
#Person1#: Oh yes. I've got it written down here. Just a minute.
#Person2#: You really shouldn't write it down. You should memorise it. You can change it to a more convenient number if you like.
#Person1#: Ok, I've entered my PIN. There are several options on the screen. I guess I just choose which service I want, don't I ?
#Person2#: Yes. Choose the service you need to use. If you choose to withdraw money, the machine will ask you how much you want.
#Person1#: I can just enter the amount using the key, right?
#Person2#: That's right. Give the machine a moment to process you request. Then take your money.
#Person1#: These machines aren't very difficult to use. In fact, I quite like them.

#Person1#: Marquet, do you think I should enroll in the science course?

#Person2#: Do you think so? I don't like girls who look like that. I like girls who aren't too slim. If you like her, go and talk to her.
#Person1#: I'd like to, but there's her boyfriend. He's very broad-shouldered.
#Person2#: He's huge! He must go to the gym to have a well-built body like that.
#Person1#: Do you prefer tall girls or short ones?
#Person2#: I don't mind, but I like girls with long hair.
#Person1#: We have different tastes. I like girls with short hair. I like tall girls- probably because I'm so tall myself.
#Person2#: Have you ever dated a girl taller than you?
#Person1#: No, never. I don't think I've ever met a girl taller than me! Have you gained weight recently?

#Person1#: Excuse me, can you tell me where I can find dresses for teenagers?
#Person2#: Yes, there on the left next to the purses, but don't you think you should look for something uh a bit more mature?
#Person1#: Oh, no, it's not for me. I'm looking for a present for my niece. She's turning 16 next week and she's having a big party.
#Person2#: Oh, I remember when my daughter was that age, she's about to graduate college now.
#Person1#: How wonderful! Yeah, Elizabeth is looking at schools right now. We'll probably take her on a tour of the East Coast colleges sometime in the fall. She lives with my brother and his wife in Oregon.
#Person2#: There are some schools there that offer good programs, but they probably don't get the scenery like we do here on the East Coast. I've always like seeing the seasons change. I went to the University of Pennsylvania. What about you?
#Person1#: I went to Brown University.
#Person2#: Great. So where does your niece want to go to school?
#Person1#: Oh, I think Harvard, Yale and the University of Chicago are her top three choices.
#Person2#: Well, those are all fantastic schools with a long history, but I think it's a good idea to take her to see all those places up close, and in person, you can't get a sense of a college until you sent would on campus.

#Person1#: Hey, Mike, you're back. How was your summer camping?
#Person2#: Life in the great outdoors isn't exactly what I expected.
#Person1#: What did you do everyday?
#Person2#: First, everyone had to get up at 5:30 AM. Next, we had to make our beds before our camp adviser came to inspect the place. Then we had breakfast around 6:30 AM. After that, we had some free time, so I'd go down to the nearby stream to fish for a couple of hours. But yesterday, the only thing I caught was an old shoe and a tree branch. Then I slipped and fell in the stream and lost my fishing pole. In the afternoon, there were different activities we could choose from like swimming, horseback riding, and hiking.
#Person1#: What did you do at night?
#Person2#: At night, we sat around the campfire, sang songs and told ghost stories.

#Person1#: This place is different from the supermarket we're used to, isn't it? I don't come here very often because I think the prices are higher than those at supermarkets.

#Person1#: When I'm not in a hurry, I usually enjoy comparing brands and prices. So I can get the most for my money.
#Person2#: At this time of night, this is probably the only place open.
#Person1#: I'm surprised at the milk prices. There are much lower than I expected. The prices are competitive with those of the large chains.
#Person2#: The prices are low on selected items, but the shop can't really compete with supermarkets when it comes to most things. At least there are no long lines here. | #Person1# and #Person2# go to a store late at night as it's the only place open.

#Person2#: Yes. Hey, are you doing anything tomorrow? We could go then.
#Person1#: Tomorrow sounds fine. I'm going to work until 5:00.
