例文
Violet：Adrian, have you heard of this restaurant?
Adrian：Hmm, nah, I don’t think so. What about this place?
Violet：I wanna try out. People say their food is amazingly good. Apparently, this place used to be empty before this famous youtuber posted her video about the restaurant's food.
Adrian：I see. No wonder. The place became famous through word of mouth, sort of.
The restaurant is in suburban area and at a first glance, it doesn’t seem to get many customers.
Violet：What makes you say that?
Adrian：I don’t know, from the outside it just looks like someone's house, but it actually is a fancy Italian restaurant inside.

Adrian：I didn’t say I wasn't, I am sold.
Violet：I knew it, you are not the one driving there or paying anyways.
