对话文本
A: what did you learn at the workshop you went to yesterday? Do you think it was worth the investment to go?

B: yeah, I really got a lot of the session. The workshop topic was resolving personal problems. It was led by a professional human resoureces director. The teacher had a lot of experience, and I think we were all given a really good base to start with.

A: the workshop was only one afternoon long, do you really think you can learn that much in only a couple of hours?

B: it depends on the topic, the teacher, and the way the course is set up. Yesterday, even though we only had a short time to discuss the issues, the workshop got us all thinking. We learned some very basic, but very useful methods of dealing with personnel issues.

A: sounds like you really learned a lot.

B: I did… I just hope I can implement all these great ideas that we shared.
