What are we going to do ? I can't get the car out of this ditch . I'm stuck ! <turn> I'm worried , Tom . I haven't seen any other cars for almost an hour . <turn> I know . This is terrible . What can we do ? This snow doesn't stop falling ! <turn> I told you we should have stayed in town today.The weather report said 100 percent chance of snow.Why did you want to come up here ? <turn> I wanted to show you the cabin . We only had another half-hour to go . <turn> Well , now we're stuck . What can we do ? <turn> I don't know . <turn> I've heard that when this happens , it's important to save energy . <turn> What do you mean ? <turn> We're stranded here , Tom . We may be here a long time.We need to conserve the gas in the car . The car's energy is what will keep us warm . <turn> I have plenty of gas . <turn> Yes , but the gas and the battery both have to stay working.We can't just let the car run and run.If we do , it will die soon . Then we'll freeze . <turn> So what can we do ? <turn> Turn the lights off.Then , run the car and the heater only about fifteen minutes every hour.That will conserve the heat as long as possible . <turn> Alright .

What do you think about all the different diets that people go on ? <turn> I don't think dieting is good for you . It's much better to eat a balanced diet and to never get overweight to begin with ! <turn> But what do you think about people who are obese ? What should they do to lose weight ? <turn> They need to eat healthy foods , but they also have to increase the amount of physical exercise every day . They don't have to cut out fattening foods altogether , though . <turn> So you think it's OK for people who are dieting to eat chocolate , don't you ? <turn> Sure , they can eat some chocolate . As long as they are exercising and eating mostly healthy foods , there's nothing wrong with having a small dessert . <turn> How about drinking soda ? <turn> Many people gain weight by drinking far too much soda .

Dialogue:
I watched a very interesting documentary about plants yesterday evening . It was called “ unusual plants ” and looked at several species of plants from around the world which have unusual features . <turn> Really ? Tell me about some of the plants they showed . <turn> Well . There was one type of plant that catches insects and eats them . <turn> Is that type of plant found in this country ? <turn> No , it isn ’ t . it ’ s a pity , because I ’ d like to see it in action . <turn> So would I . what other unusual plants did they show ? <turn> They showed flowers that only provide their nectar to one type of butterfly or bee . The insect has to be the exact size to get the nectar . Other insects cannot get it . Of course , when the insect collects the nectar , it also takes some pollen from one flower to another . <turn> That ’ s very specialized . So , the insects and the flowers rely on each other . If one became extinct , the other would too . <turn> That ’ s right . That ’ s one reason why it ’ s so important to protect every species .
Response: | I see . The plants that fascinate me most are cacti . I find it amazing that they can survive in such dry desert conditions . |
