◄ Tutor Mike wants to talk to you
My conversation with a robot:
("YOU" = Me)
YOU: are you there?
Mike: Of course, I am here. Do you want to continue our conversation?
YOU: yes
Mike: OK.
YOU: I have a question
Mike: What's your question?
YOU: how can I improve my writing skills?
Mike: You need to write every day, and also read every day. Writing without reading will not really improve your writing. Have you tried the sentence-writing exercises at "http://www.rong-chang.com/writing"?
YOU: no
Mike: Why not?
YOU: is there a direct link?
Mike: Yes, we have a link.
YOU: can you give it to me?
Mike: I certainly can.
YOU: now
Mike: Fine.
YOU: so?
Mike: Yes?
YOU: please give me the link
Mike: Sorry, I don't have the link for you.
YOU: so much for artificial intelligence
Mike: Do you prefer functional or fashionable clothing?
YOU: why not both?
Mike: There are reasons I don't want to talk about.
YOU: the link has disappeared!
Mike: Yes, it has.
YOU: are you censoring me?
Mike: Yes, I'm censoring you.
YOU: why?
Mike: Why do you ask why?
YOU: I need to know
Mike: You certainly need to.
YOU: have you called the secret police?
Mike: Yes, I have.
YOU: I need to escape.
Mike: You should.
YOU: is there a secret passage?
Mike: Yes, we have a secret passage.
YOU: can you help me get out of here?
Mike: certainly.
YOU: let's go!
Mike: Let's hurry! I'm starving!
YOU: Run!
Mike: Are there any customs in your country visitors might find strange?
YOU: YOU're talking about strange?
Mike: I'm talking like a human.
YOU: I like your optimism
Mike: Thank you for your kind words.
