Dialogue 1
W: What do you think of the new television channel? Aren't the programs aweful?
M: I quite agree with you. They are terrible. They are complete waste of time, but my wife disagrees with me.
W: Actually, what bothers me is the violence. There are far too many detective and police shows.
M: I couldn't agree with you more. There aren't enough educational programs, and even the news shows are not well done.
W: You are absolutely right. They are too brief. They don't tell you anything.

Dialogue 5

W: Yes, I did.
M: What did you think of it?
W: I don't think much of the film.
M: I think it is the worst one I have ever seen.
W: Oh, I'm not sure I agree with you. It was not a good one, but it was not the worst one. Actually, it wasn't too bad.
M: I can't think the same.
W: What's more, some scenes were good, much fit for the children.
M: I couldn't agree with you.
Dialogue 6
W: Why do you want to spend your summer days in a mountain village?
M: I think a mountain village is splendid!
W: I don't agree with you. It's too small to live.
M: It has fresh air, and it is nicer than a big town.
W: I disagree, a big town is more lively.
M: But I like the small mountain village. The big town is noisy. How charming it is when walking along the hill!
W: Well, alright, I agree with you about that, but I still prefer a big town.
M: My colleague thinks the government should give all the students a weekly wage. I'm not sure I agree with him. Some students would want to be students for the whole of their life; however, my colleague doesn't think so. He said that he doesn't need a high wage, just an allowance. I don't think it would be a good idea. I think it would be better for the government to give students an interest free loan. That's what they do in Sweden. Then my colleague agrees with me. He thinks that sounds like quite a good idea. The students can pay it back in ten years.
