13. E: All right. I read a web page about how to write a questionnaire, and I improved my questionnaire based on the rules I found there. They are really helpful. B: What changes have you made then?

14. E: Originally I asked How did you find out about Best Book Club and when did you join the club under Question Two, but since I should only ask one piece of information at a time, now I have two questions here instead. They are Question Two- How did you find out about Best Book Club? And Question Three-When did you join the Club?

15. B: So you had seven questions and now you have eight. E: That’s right. B: What else did you do? E: I changed How many times have you visited bookshops to How many times have you visited bookshops in the last six months? Because I understand hat a specific time reference has to be given. Otherwise there might be confusion.

16. B: That’s Question Number Five, or the original Number Four, right? E: Yes, ad in Question Number Sever, or the original Number Six, I cut the instruction to only two words- Please specify, because the original sentence was too long and difficult.
