Answer: M: What do you think of Professor Brown's lecture?
Q: W: Yeah. My grandpa gave it to me as a graduation gift. Isn't it nice? M: It is. I can't believe it's so thin! What kind of computer is it? W: It's an Apple MacBook Air. It's very lightweight and has a bunch of built-in apps. I couldn't be happier with it. M: Do they have any other colors besides that one? W: I don't know. I like this color. I've ordered a pink cover for it, but it won't arrive for a couple of weeks. M: Does the computer have a disk drive? W: No, it doesn't, but I don't need one. All of my documents are online. M: Well, you're very lucky. It will be great to have this when you start looking for jobs. W: I already have. Today, I spent the day at the cafe working on my resume. This computer has great battery life. M: Well, that's good. But the cafe near here is always so crowded. W: I know. But I like to work in busy cafes. The noise reminds me that everyone else is working hard, so I work hard, too. What was said before this conversation?

Do you have any classes right after you finish? W: No, I don't have to go to class until 11:00. How about you? M: No, I don't have to go to class until 10:00.
