M: Well, you are lucky because I should have been going yesterday, but something happened to delay me so I postponed my trip until today. W: Is it all right if I put my bag on the back seat？ M: Yes, of course. W: It started to rain just as I left the house this morning and my clothes and shoes are wet through. Would you mind if I take off my shoes？ M: No, of course not. I don’t mind. Go ahead. W: Thanks. M: Oh, don’t forget to put your seat belt on! You can get fined nowadays, you know, for not wearing your seat belt. W: Yes, sorry, I forgot. Could I open this window？ M: Well, I’d rather you don’t if you don’t mind.

We need to do something interesting. W: Let me finish: I know someone who works at the campus print shop. Last week he said he could get hold of materials to make a big banner. That'll attract the attention of a lot of students if we can hang it in front of the student center. M: Nice work ! W: I've also arranged to have an article published in the school paper next Wednesday. That way you can get the message out to the entire campus. M: Uh-oh, that means I better come up with an article pretty quickly. How about if I write it up and I'll let you be the first to read it.

W: Well, isn't it charming to live your own life again？ I think human cloning is beneficial in many ways, such as providing remedies for new incurable diseases, prolonging one's life, and so on. M: That's very good, but what'll be the relationship between the parents and their cloned copy？ What responsibilities should people take for their own clone？ And what if the child falls in love with his own mother one day？ As I see it, human cloning is unethical and must be prohibited!
