Problem: Given the question: W: Yes, speaking? M: Hello, it is Eric from London. W: Hello, Eric. How can I help you? M: I'm fixing up on next project team meeting, and I just want to check some possible dates with you. W: Fine, let me just get my diary. Ok, which dates are you looking at? M: I've spoken to the others, and they prefer either the third week of May or the second week of June. W: Yeah, both of the weeks are pretty clear at the moment except for the 11th of June. M: Right, I've got that. W: So where is the meeting taking place this time? M: It was going to be in London. But I spoke to Carlos in Mexico City and he suggested Chicago. He thinks it will be more convenient for most of the team. W: He's probably right. It'll certainly be much easier for me as well. Because I can fly from Toronto, and I'm sure you can find a meeting room somewhere near the airport. M: That's a good idea. I'll check up some hotels in that area and get back to you towards the end of the week. W: Fine, but I'm not in the office on Friday. M: Ok, I'll call you later in the afternoon on Thursday. W: No problem. Bye. What was said before this conversation?

Answer: W: Excuse me, can you tell me where Main Street is?
Q: M: Well, I really can't tell. Anyhow, I'm doing my best, working night and day. W: So am I. Sometimes, I feel very tired, both physically and mentally. M: I feel the same. I often suffer from headaches and general weakness. Not enough time for sleeping. I don't know what will become of me if it goes on like this for long. W: And no time for sports, even music, not to mention films or TV programs. All we can see is exercises, exam papers and this sort of things. M: It seems that to go to college is the only future we have. W: Certainly not. Even if we can't go to college, we can take up many other jobs and do our bits for the society as well. M: Quite right. But we'll get more knowledge after studying several years at college. That means we can work better for our country and people after graduation. In addition our parents lay great hope on us, and we shouldn't make them feel disappointed. What was said before this conversation?

W: I do wish Mom were at home. Why don't we go and eat out for a change? M: Oh, that's a good idea. I like Kentucky fried chicken very much. W: Dad, you always talk about fried chicken. Let's have something different. I'd like to go to McDonald's this time. M: OK then. You'll drive, won't you? W: No, I'm a bit tired today. You should drive. M: OK, OK. I always do things like that. I hope your Mom will be back soon. Ah here we are. W: Dad, what would you like to have? I'd like a hamburger. M: I want one, too. And some French fries, Jill? W: Please buy me some salad instead. And a glass of Coke. OK? M: Hamburger, salad, and a glass of Coke. Is that all for you, Jill? W: Right, and give me an ice cream, too. I'll go and find the seats. M: And I'll get some vegetables for myself, and a coffee... What was said before this conversation?
