Problem: Ranae: Yeah. Why do you want to know? Steve: Well, on Monday, I asked Jennifer out on a date for this coming Saturday night. Ranae: Wow. You've really been seeing a lot of her lately. Sounds great. Okay, write down these directions so you don't get lost. Steve: Okay, go ahead. Ranae: First, drive down 1st street going west, cross the river, and keep going straight until Pine Street. Steve: Until Pine Street, right? Ranae: Right. Then turn left, and the movie theater is the second building on the right. It's next to the church. Steve: Second building on the right. Got it. Now, can you recommend any nice restaurants? Ranae: Yeah. The Pink Flamingo serves excellent Spanish food. Steve: Well where's that? Ranae: Well, starting from the movie theater, go south on Pine Street, cross 2nd Street, and drive to 3rd Street. You'll see a parking lot on the left side of the street. Okay so far? Steve: A parking lot on the left. Okay. Then what? Ranae: Okay, then turn left on 3rd Street and drive east. The Pink Flamingo is the building just before the river on the left side. I think it's open weekdays from 10:30 in the morning to 11:30 at night, but it stays open until midnight on the weekends. Steve: Okay, I think I've driven by there before. Oh, last thing. Where can I buy some flowers? We're going out to celebrate Jennifer's birthday. Ranae: Well the only florist I know is in front of the stadium on 2nd Street. Try that one. Steve: Great. Thanks a lot.

W: Not much. M: Why, what's wrong with it? W: Oh, I don't know. It's just that he overloads it with details. The course he gave on town planning last year, it was just the same-a load of details, which you could have got from a book anyway. There was no overall ... M: No general overview you mean? W: Yes. I suppose you could call it that. I couldn't see the town for the buildings. M: But you've got to have the details in this kind of subject. Anyway I think he's good. You take his first lecture for instance. I thought that was very interesting, and not at all over-detailed. W: Well, he starts off all right, but then he just piles on the details. M: Now you're exaggerating. W: Well, the way he dealt with the Western developments, that wasn't bad, I suppose. M: You seem to have got something. Perhaps Potter is a little disorganized, but I think he's good. W: Do you really think so? M: He does do most of his teaching to the postgraduates. He only does the one undergraduate course each year. After all, I think he tends to forget where he is. He starts off being nice and general and then tries to cram in a bit too much specialized information. W: The main thing I object to is the lack of direction. What was said before this conversation?

M: And how much time do you think you could save, Carolyn, by doing that? W: If you're making transfers, or checking your statements, you can save up to an hour. M: The second tip is online grocers. Now, that's really not for everyone, but you actually go grocery shopping online. W: That's exactly what you do. If you are the type of person that wants to read every label and look at every piece of fruit, it's probably not for you. But if you wanna give up a little control, you M: And what's the good strategy if you decide to shop online? W: What I would suggest is do the staples online. M: What do they include? W: The brands you use all the time, the paper products, the cleaning products, the cereals-get them online and go to the store for the meat in the produce. M: That's enlightening.
