Problem: M: You can take a look at this magazine. It has some of the newest styles. W: Er, I like face style. It's pretty. Do you think it suits me? M: Well, do you really want to keep your hair that long? I think you will look better with short hair. W: I'll leave that out to you. I'm ready for a change. M: Do you want to change the color of your hair? It will be shinier in wine red and will light up your face. W: Yeah, I believe so. But would that do much harm to my hair? M: Not really. We have some of the best hair care products. W: Em, maybe on other day. By the way, how much do you charge? M: 80 dollars in total. What was said before this conversation?

A: W: I want to have my hair done. Do you have any suggestions?

Problem: 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?

A: W: Your father and Sally have gone to get the car. Let's wait for them here on the bench.

Problem: M: Well, I met his sister yesterday, she told me that he was out of hospital. What was said before this conversation?

A: F: Have you heard anything about Jim since his accident?

Problem: M: Thank you, madam. W: I have read your letter here. You seemed to have done very well at school. Can you tell me something about your school work? M: As you can see, my strongest subjects were arts subjects. My best subject was history and my second best was geography. However, my favorite subject was math, and the results I got in the math paper were quite reasonable. W: That's true. Now, can you tell me why you think these subjects will help you in this job? M: Well, madam, I understand that you manufacture computers, prepare software, and advise clients on how to use them. Is that right? W: That's right. M: And I've been told that working with computers needs a logical mind rather than great skills in mathematics. That's especially true, I believe, when it comes to writing programs. So I think my results show that I have some ability in logic and in mathematics as well. W: So, you would like to write material for computers, would you? M: Yes, madam. That's what interests me most about computers - writing programs, but I think the computer industry itself is still expanding enormously. I'm sure that career prospects in the industry would be very good no matter what sort of job I went into. W: I see, well, thank you. I've enjoyed our talk. We'll be writing to you. M: Thank you, madam. Good morning. What was said before this conversation?

W: Good morning. Sit down please, Mr. Johnson.
