For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?” the other person may be thinking, “No, I don’t agree. I think you are wrong.” But it doesn’t sound very 35 , so they may say, “I’m not so sure.” It might be a nicer way of disagreeing with someone. It’s interesting when people want to 36 a conversation (对话).

You can’t use them to make a fire.” The monkeys laughed. One monkey said, “Hey, friends, you don’t know anything about how to make a fire. Don’t stop 131 (we).” The monkeys kept blowing and looked forward to 132 (make) a fire. However, after two hours, they found that the sheep were right.
