B: No problem.

After practice, I found that If I am not very concentrate on hearing. I can't make out ~ty or ~teen. Here take down clearly. such as Well, Uh, Umm, Well, Oh, Ohhh, nah.. and so on. It can make us learn something native speaker's take. And when someone says "thanks you "to you. I used to reply"You're welcome", but now I learn new expression "No problem". So this is really a good listening site, I should take more time to practice my listening with Randall's ESL Cyber Listening Lab.
