W: Yeah, with my parents. We just got back on Saturday. It was wonderful! M: What sights did you visit? W: Well, we saw all the most famous places, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral... They were so interesting. M: Did you take any tours? W: Just one - a boat tour on the Seine River. M: Wow! That sounds fantastic. W: Yeah. It was a great way to see the city. M: Did you go to any of the famous art museums? W: Yeah. My parents love art, so they spent hours in the museums. But for me, it was pretty boring. I'm just not very interested in paintings. M: So, what else did you do? W: Well, I guess my favorite thing to do was just to sit in cafes and watch the people. It was really relaxing, and French coffee is terrific. M: It sounds like a great vacation to me. But I have work at hand. Hopefully I'll be there one day. What was said before this conversation?

Q: M: When is Thanksgiving Day? W: It's celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. What are your plans for it? M: I have no idea yet. What about you? W: The same as usual. My aunts and uncles and cousins come to our house for dinner. M: Oh, your family get together. What do you usually do? W: We usually have a big meal. My mother cooks turkey. But I prepare the vegetables. My aunts usually bring the pies. The women cook the meal, and the men wash the dishes. M: Really? In my family, when we get together the kids wash the dishes. The whole thing is a lot of work. W: Yes, but I like Thanksgiving. I was out of the country last year, and really missed it. That's one time in the year when families get together. John, if you haven't got any plans, why don't you come to my house to spend the holiday with us? M: Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Thanks a lot. What was said before this conversation?

[Q]: Mr. Smith: Oh. I know I'm ready. I've been practicing in my driveway all week. Driving Officer: Okay. Mr. Smith.

Now you can start your car. Mr. Smith: Yeah, right. Here we go! Driving Officer: Whoa! Take it easy. The speed limit in this business district is only 25 miles an hour. [Oh]. All right. Now, turn right at the next corner... [This corner?] Na, not here! Wow! You forgot to signal too! Mr. Smith: Gosh. I didn't see that one, and... Ah, Could you grab my cell phone under my seat. [Huh?] Nah, I'll get it. Driving Officer: Oh, Mr. Smith. Keep your eyes on the road! Mr. Smith: Oh yeah. Driving Officer: Okay. Now, pull over here and show me that you can parallel park. Mr. Smith: Sure. Wait. Hey bud. Move your car. I was here first! Driving Officer: Ah. Forget it. Just keep driving. Mr. Smith: So, how am I doing? Can I just take a peek at your notes? Driving Officer: No! And, uh, watch out. Mr. Smith. Now you're tailgating the vehicle in front of us. Mr. Smith: Oh, yeah. I'm just so excited about getting my license today. [Right.]. Driving Officer: Okay. Now carefully, CAREFULLY turn right here, and wait, wait, WAIT... STOP!! You almost hit that pedestrian. How in the world did you pass the written test anyway? [Well...]You have to give way to any pedestrians crossing the street. Jeez! Mr. Smith: Oh. sorry about that. It won't happen again. [Car screeching to a stop...] Driving Officer: Whoa! Get out! [What?] Get out! I'm driving back to the office. Mr. Smith: Does this mean I didn't pass the test? Driving Officer: Look, Mr. Smith. Could you do me a favor? When you come back to take the test again, plan on coming on Friday. Mr. Smith: Again? Why? Is it less crowded that day? Driving Officer: No. It's my day off. What was said before this conversation?
