For example, S1 says, Hi Lee, what’s the matter? and S2 states a problem based on a card they have: My sink is leaking. If S1 has the same card, they say, Me too! But if he doesn’t have the same card, he must give appropriate advice: Maybe you should call a plumber. There are dialog suggestions for Levels 1 to 3, along with substitution suggestions for giving advice and responding to problems.
