M: It would be nice if the last few of vacation were sunny and warm.

Problem: Given the question: W: Yes, I have a master's degree in drama and theatre. At the moment, I'm hoping to get onto a Ph.D program. M: What excites you about drama? W: Well, I find it's a communicative way to study people and you learn how to read people in drama. So usually I can understand what people are saying even though they might be lying. M: That would be useful. W: Yeah, it's very useful for me as well. I'm an English lecturer, so I use a lot of drama in my classes such as role plays. And I ask my students to create mini-dramas. They really respond well. At the moment, I'm hoping to get onto a Ph.D course. I'd like to concentrate on Asian drama and try to bring Asian theatre to the world's attention. I don't know how successful I would be, but here's hoping. M: Oh, I'm sure you'll be successful. Now, Claire, what do you do for stage fright? W: Ah, stage fright! Well, many actors have that problem. I get stage fright every time I'm going to teach a new class. The night before, I usually can't sleep. M: What? For teaching? W: Yes. I get really bad stage fright. But the minute I step into the classroom or get onto the stage, it just all falls into place. Then I just feel like: Yeah, this is what I mean to do. And I'm fine. M: Wow, that's cool! What was said before this conversation?

The answer is:
M: So, Claire, you're into drama!
