A: Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you have time to answer a few questions? B: What's it about? A: We're doing some market research for a new television channel starting in two years' time. B: OK, why not? A: Lovely, we'll just work through this form. And if we could start with some personal background information. B: Sure. A: Right, if I could just have your age... B: 35. A: Right, great. And your job? B: Systems analyst, but for the form I don't know whether it would count as professional or business or what. A: What do you think? B: OK, it's more like business. A: Fine. And would you mind my asking about your salary? Or we can leave it blank. B: No, I don't mind. It's 40,000 a year. A: Thank you. Right... about your current watching habits..., what would you say is your main reason for watching TV? B: Well, at work I tend to read for information and what have you, so I'd say that with TV it probably just helps me relax and unwind. A: Fine. And how many hours a day on average do you watch TV? B: Not a lot really... I should say just over an hour. A: So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV? B: Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late eleven or even midnight- when I've finished work. A: And what sort of programmes do you go for? B: Some news bulletins but I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows. A: Fine. And turning to the new channel..., which type of programmes would you like to see more of? B: Well, I certainly don't think we need any more factual programmes like news and documentaries. I think we need more about things like local information..., you know, providing a service for the community. And in the same vein, perhaps more for younger viewers..., you know, good quality stuff. A: Ah ha. And if you had to give the new directors some specific advice when they set up the channel, what advice would you give them? B: I think I'd advise them to pay a lot of attention to the quality of the actual broadcast, you know, the sound system. People are very fussy these days about that and in general I think they ought to do lots more of these kinds of interview, you know, talking with their potential customers. A: Oh, I'm glad you think it's valuable! B: Certainly... yeah. A: Good. OK, this will be a commercial channel of course, but how often do you think it is tolerable to have adverts? B: Well, out of that list I'd say every quarter of an hour. I don't think we can complain about that, as long as they don't last tot ten minutes each time! A: Quite. And would you be willing to attend any of our special promotions for the new channel? B: Yes, I'd be very happy to, as long as they're held here in my area. A: OK, I'll make a note of that. And finally, may we put you on our mailing list? B: Well, I'd prefer not..., except for the information about the promotion you mentioned. A: Can I have your name and address? B: Of course ... here's my card. A: Oh, lovely..., and thank you very much for your time and we look forward to seeing you. B: Yes, indeed. Urn, thanks.

Please answer the following question from DREAM dataset.
A: Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you have time to answer a few questions? B: What's it about? A: We're doing some market research for a new television channel starting in two years' time. B: OK, why not? A: Lovely, we'll just work through this form. And if we could start with some personal background information. B: Sure. A: Right, if I could just have your age... B: 35. A: Right, great. And your job? B: Systems analyst, but for the form I don't know whether it would count as professional or business or what. A: What do you think? B: OK, it's more like business. A: Fine. And would you mind my asking about your salary? Or we can leave it blank. B: No, I don't mind. It's 40,000 a year. A: Thank you. Right... about your current watching habits..., what would you say is your main reason for watching TV? B: Well, at work I tend to read for information and what have you, so I'd say that with TV it probably just helps me relax and unwind. A: Fine. And how many hours a day on average do you watch TV? B: Not a lot really... I should say just over an hour. A: So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV? B: Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late eleven or even midnight- when I've finished work. A: And what sort of programmes do you go for? B: Some news bulletins but I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows. A: Fine. And turning to the new channel..., which type of programmes would you like to see more of? B: Well, I certainly don't think we need any more factual programmes like news and documentaries. I think we need more about things like local information..., you know, providing a service for the community. And in the same vein, perhaps more for younger viewers..., you know, good quality stuff. A: Ah ha. And if you had to give the new directors some specific advice when they set up the channel, what advice would you give them? B: I think I'd advise them to pay a lot of attention to the quality of the actual broadcast, you know, the sound system. People are very fussy these days about that and in general I think they ought to do lots more of these kinds of interview, you know, talking with their potential customers. A: Oh, I'm glad you think it's valuable! B: Certainly... yeah. A: Good. OK, this will be a commercial channel of course, but how often do you think it is tolerable to have adverts? B: Well, out of that list I'd say every quarter of an hour. I don't think we can complain about that, as long as they don't last tot ten minutes each time! A: Quite. And would you be willing to attend any of our special promotions for the new channel? B: Yes, I'd be very happy to, as long as they're held here in my area. A: OK, I'll make a note of that. And finally, may we put you on our mailing list? B: Well, I'd prefer not..., except for the information about the promotion you mentioned. A: Can I have your name and address? B: Of course ... here's my card. A: Oh, lovely..., and thank you very much for your time and we look forward to seeing you. B: Yes, indeed. Urn, thanks.

W: Good morning, everybody. Today, for our writing class, we are glad to have Mr. Henry Stone with us, a well-known writer in this country. He is going to share with us his writing experiences. Now, Henry, please tell us how you find so many interesting things for your stories. M: OK. I watch people a lot. I do that when I travel. I've been to many countries such as Britain, Italy and Sweden. So I spend a lot of time at airports. While waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day, when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple. They were buying magazines at that moment. They were not wearing business clothes, but the man was carrying a suitcase. Every few seconds, the woman looked around. I wondered if someone was following them. Perhaps they were running away, and you know, this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day: a bank clerk stole one million pounds a week before and disappeared with his wife. There was a picture of them in the paper. The couple really looked like the wiz. Maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other, and the woman walked away. Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that. But I find things like that are very useful for my writing.
