Question: M: It's nice to sit down. We've been walking for hours. W: Did you like the White House? M: Oh, yes. I thought it was beautiful. I wanted to stay longer. W: I did, too. But we've got a lot of things to see. M: The line wasn't long this morning, was it? W: No, it wasn't. We were lucky. M: I wonder if the president and his family use the rooms we saw. They look more like a museum than somebody's house. W: Yes. They are the public rooms. The President's family lives upstairs. M: What do they use the public rooms for? W: For important affairs. The President usually entertains members of the government and visitors from other countries. M: I hope I could get a reception at the White House some time. W: Well, if you do something important when you grow up, maybe you will. Who knows? What was said before this conversation?

Problem: W: Bob, it has been a long time, hasn't it? It must be at least a year. M: No. We talked at the Johnson's Christmas party last December. Don't you remember? W: That's right. Well, how are you? Still working for the Germen company? M: No. I changed my job about 4 months ago. I'm with the World Bank now. How about you? W: I'm still working at the University, but I transferred from the German Department to the Spanish Department. M: Don't you tell me you speak Spanish, too? W: Sure. I grew up in Spain, you know. German was what I studied in college. M: All I have ever managed to learn is a little Italian. W: Oh. excuse me, someone is knocking at the door. I'll talk to you again later, Bob. M: It was nice talking to you, Ann. What was said before this conversation?

A: M: Why, Ann, I haven't seen you for ages. How have you been?
input: Please answer the following: M: No, it's not. Someone's stolen some of my valuables two rings and a gold necklace. W: I'm very sorry to hear that, sir. Where were they? M: In my room. And the door was locked. It can only be one of your staff. I want my things back. And fast. W: Well, I can certainly understand that you're upset about losing them and we'll do all we can to help. If they really are missing,it's a matter for the police. M: What do you mean, if they are missing? I told you they were. W: Yes, Sir. But first I'll have one of the housekeeping staff look through your room in case they're still there. But I must say that we can't be held responsible. You should have deposited the valuables with Reception. It says so on the Key Card. M: That's not good enough. I want to see the manager immediately. W: I'll be glad to call the duty manager for you, sir. But he'll certainly say the same. We have clear instructions about valuables and we must follow them. What was said before this conversation?
