　　Tim talked to Harry about the lecture.

　　Harry: What did you think of the lecture?

　　Tim: I thought it was very interesting.

　　Harry: Did you really?

　　Tim: Yes, didn't you?

　　Harry: Certainly not. I thought he talked a lot of rubbish.

　　Tim: So you think you know more than he does.

　　Harry: Well, take coal for instance.

　　Tim: What about it?

　　Harry: Coal won't become important again.

　　Tim: Why not?

　　Harry: It's too dirty. They won't be able to find people to work down coal mines in the future.

　　Tim: They'll invent new kinds of machinery.

　　Harry: Nonsense. The only sort of power they'll use in the future is atomic power.
