Q: W: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today? M: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn't coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what a particular sport means to me-one I participate in. W: What sport did you choose? M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing. W: What are you going to say about skiing? M: That's the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country. W: So why is that a problem? M: As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods, I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn't as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy. But that's not part of my paper, so I guess I should leave it out. But now I don't know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It's not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That's different. W: Then you'll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of your point you knew beforehand, but part you discovered as you wrote. That's common, right? M: Yeah, I guess so ... What was said before this conversation?
A: M: Hello, Professor Johnson.

Q: M: It's really cold today. W: Yes, you have to get used to it. The weather's going to be like this for the next three months. M: Then I'm going to Florida. Can you tell me about your weather diary? Why do you make notes about the different types of weather? W: Because it's interesting to see what the weather is like at different times and on different days. For example, we had very interesting weather on the 28th of April. M: Really? W: Yes. On the 28th of April, it was sunny while I was eating my breakfast. I'm sure everybody thought it would be a sunny day. M: What happened? W: At lunch, the sky became cloudy. In the afternoon, at four, the sky was black and it rained heavily. That was really an unusual day. M: I think you should be a weather reporter. You know a lot about the weather. W: Thanks. I want to be a weather reporter when I finish school. It's an exciting job. What was said before this conversation?
A: W: Look! It's snowing. Winter is here at last.

Q: Driver: Where to? Passenger: Well, I'm going to the National Museum of Art, and .... Driver: Sure. Hop in. No problem. Hang on! Passenger: Uh. Excuse me. How long does it take to get there? Driver: Well, that all depends on the traffic, but it shouldn't take more than twenty minutes for the average driver. [Oh]. And I'm not average. I have driving down to an art, so we should be able to cruise through traffic and get there in less than fifteen minutes. Passenger: Okay. Uh, sorry for asking [Yeah?], but do you have any idea how much the fare will be? Driver: Oh, it shouldn't be more than 18 dollars ... not including a ... uh-hum ... a tip of course. Passenger: Oh, and by the way, do you know what time the museum closes? Driver: Well, I would guess around 6:00 O'clock. Passenger: Uh, do you have the time? Driver: Yeah. It's half past four. [Thanks] Uh, this IS your first time to the city, right? Passenger: Yeah. How did you know? Driver: Well, you can tell tourists from a mile away in this city because they walk down the street looking straight up at the skyscrapers. Passenger: Was it that obvious? Driver: Well ... Passenger: Oh, before I forget, can you recommend any good restaurants downtown that offer meals at a reasonable price? Driver: Umm ... Well, the Mexican restaurant, La Fajita, is fantastic. [Oh] It's not as inexpensive as other places I know, but the decor is very authentic, [Okay] and the portions are larger than most places I've been to. Passenger: Sounds great! How do I get there from the museum? Driver: Well, you can catch the subway right outside the museum. There are buses that run that way, but you would have to transfer a couple of times. And there are taxis too, but they don't run by the museum that often. Passenger: Okay. Thanks. What was said before this conversation?
