documents: #Person1#: Hi, Mike. Are you going to the barbecue tonight?
  #Person2#: Maybe.
  #Person1#: Why maybe? Are you sure?
  #Person2#: I don't know. All those people, I won't know anyone.
  #Person1#: But that's the idea. You go to these things to meet new people.
  #Person2#: But I don't think barbecue is the best way.
  #Person1#: Why not?
  #Person2#: Because it's just hard to meet friends.
  #Person1#: Well, I love meeting people in a big group because there are more possibilities.
  #Person2#: But don't you think it's hard to get to know people? Besides, it's noisy. You can't always have a great conversation.
  #Person1#: Then how do you like to meet people?
  #Person2#: I think small groups are the best way to meet people. I meet the most interesting people in class. I see how they think and talk every day. If I like someone, then we might get together later on.
  #Person1#: You're such a serious guy. I met my best friend in the sports club. We came to know we had a lot in common. If you ask me, big parties are the best way to meet people.
  #Person2#: Well, maybe. Mmm, I should try my chances of the barbecue. I'll see you tonight, Mary.
