Dialogue one.

Dialogue two.
M: Do you know what happens at the opening ceremony for the Olympics?

M: Why do they do that?
W: The Olympic flame is a symbol that reminiscence of the ancient Olympic games.
M: Do the winter and summer Olympics take place in the same year?
W: No. The Olympic games consist of the games of the Olympia, which takes place in the summer of one year. And the Olympic winter games which take place in the winter 2 years later.
M: Do they both take place every 4 years?
W: Yes. I wish they took place more often though. I really love watching all the different athletes from around the world.
M: Do you know which cities are the candid cities for the next Olympic games?
W: I think it’s Paris, Frankfurt, New York, and Stockholm.
M: Who do think will win?
W: I think Paris might. Because they have been the candidate city for the last 2 or 3 games.
M: If you are able to get the tickets to see a game in Paris would you go?
W: Of course I would. I will do anything to go and see the Olympics in any country.
