input: Please answer the following: 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?

Please answer this: M: Oh, thanks, but I am not in the band any more. In fact I'm not in the group at all right now. W: That's too bad. You're such an amateur musician. Why did you leave the group? M: I just couldn't be a full-time student and still practice with the band every night. I also missed a couple of performances during my midterm exams. And I thought I'd better quit before the band leader fired me. W: Hey, you know my friend Charlie, don't you? He plays the piano. He and some of his friends are getting a band together. And they need a good singer. M: I wouldn't have time for that either. W: Oh, I don't think they'll practise very often. Charlie and his friends are all students, too. I'll give you his number and you can get in touch with him. What was said before this conversation?
