Q: W: Yes. I paid a visit to London and attended a summer course in English. M: Wow. It sounds so good. How long did you stay there? W: Well, I went there on July 5th and came back on August 15th. M: What about the course? W: I think the course was well organized. The teachers were nice. They taught us to listen, speak, read and write in English, but it mostly focused on speaking. One interesting thing I found was that the English classes were different from ours because they were very free. You can sit anywhere you like in the classroom. You can ask the teacher questions at any time during the class, and you are welcome to share your ideas with the classmates and teachers. I really enjoy this kind of class. M: How interesting! Maybe our teachers should try that. What was said before this conversation?
A: M: Hi, Jane. It's nice to see you again. I heard that you went to the United Kingdom during the vacation.

Q: M: Thank you, Jean. W: It's very close to your office, isn't it? M: Yes, it is. I always walk to work-even when it rains. W: I usually take the bus. It takes so long! M: How long does it take? W: Oh, it takes about 45 minutes. M: That's a long time. Well, have some pizza, please! W: (Taking a bite.) This is delicious! Do you bake all of your pizza? M: Yes, I usually bake something on the weekend or holidays. W: You are a wonderful cook! M: Thank you. W: I never cook at home. It is my husband Andy who usually does all the cooking. M: Do you often go out to eat? W: Yes, when he doesn't have time to cook, we will go out to eat somewhere. M: There are some wonderful restaurants in the city. W: Too many! You can eat at a different restaurant every day. What was said before this conversation?
A: W: This is a lovely house!

Q: M: Vm sorry, but I had car trouble. W: Oh, that's too bad. Couldn't you have telephoned? M: I was going to, but I didn't have any change for a pay phone. W: You could've gotten some change in a store. M: But I was out on the edge of town. There wasn't any place to get change. W: Well, at least you're here now. No need to wait any longer. So, let's get started. What was said before this conversation?
A: W: What happened? I've been waiting for almost an hour.

Q: W: Oh. There's something wrong with my electronic calculator. M: Do you want me to have a look at it? W: It's very kind of you, but I would like to have a try first. Er... You know... I can do without it in class this afternoon. M: Oh, well, if you need any help, just let me know. I'm free after school. W: I will. Thank you very much. M: You're welcome.
