Dialogue 1
W: I've typed the report.
M: Well done.
W: And I've filed the lettters.
M: Excellent job.

M: I'm very impressed.
W: And I've ordered the supplies.

Dialogue 3
W: I think modern painting means nothing.
M: I think so too. It's just pointless.

Dialogue 4
M: Dalian is a beautiful city. Do you agree?
W: I suppose I do.
M: The climate here is pleasant.
W: You said it.
M: This city is really comfortable to live in.
W: It sure is.
M: No other city can match it. It's heaven.
W: Well, if you live in other cities as long as enough, you will love them just as much.
M: Maybe.
W: That's for sure.
No, no. It's not fair to say I disapprove, disappointed perhaps. But anyway, nothing I say is likely to make any difference, is it? I mean you've made your mind up already, haven't you? It's just that. Well, I'd always thought we would turn out differently. We'd always had particular way of life--done certain things, moved in certain circles. No, I don't disapprove.
