Problem: M: Nothing serious. W: Maybe you'd better have a medical examination. M: I think there is no need. I'm just having a cough and feel tired. W: You need to take an X-ray photo of your lungs. I advise you to do as I told you. After all, whatever work you want to do, you must have good health. Don't you think so? M: Thank you. But shall I make some calls to arrange some important business affairs first? W: OK. What was said before this conversation?

W: If you have time, will you mail a letter for me tomorrow?
input question: W: Yes, it is. I wish that it would rain and cool off. M: Me, too. This is unusual for May. I don't remember it ever being so hot and dry in May before. W: You are from Florida then? M: Not really. I was born in Chicago, but I've lived here for ten years now. W: My mother and I have just moved here from Indiana. M: Pretty cold in Indiana, isn't it? W: Yes. That's why we moved. But we didn't know that it would be so hot here. We should have gone to California. Do you think that we've missed the bus, by the way? M: No. It's alawys a little late.

W: This is Jenny, Jack. Could you help me? M: Certainly. What is the matter? W: My sister had an argument with me yesterday because I lost her lovely pet cat. She was really mad at me. And she hasn't talked to me for a whole day. M: Oh, Jenny. In fact, you're the one who made a mistake. W: Yes, I know that. But what should I do to make her happy? M: If I were you, I'd say sorry to her first and then get her another cat. W: That's a good idea. But I don't have.., enough money. M: Oh, don't worry. I've got some. I can lend some to you. W: That's very kind of you. What was said before this conversation?

A: M: How many students are there in your class?
[Q]: M: No, I didn't. Isn't it right next to the computer? W: No, and I don't see it anywhere. I have the feeling one of our party guests took it. M: Really? What are you going to do now? W: I'll just tell my parents what happened, I guess. M: Then they'll know you had people over without permission. Won't they be angry about that? W: Probably. I wish I'd done that from the start, instead of keeping my plans secret. They'd have said no to a party, and the MP3 player would still be here. What was said before this conversation?
