input question: M: Hello, Victoria. This is Joe Smith from country holidays. I wondered if you could do some catering for us next week, we are having a small reception. It's to launch our summer holiday advertising campaign. Will you be free? W: When exactly is it? Mr. Smith? M: April 21st, that's Thursday. Oh, sorry, no. It should be Friday. W: Oh, yes I can do that where will you be holding it? M: We thought we'd have that at head office and use the conference room, because there is enough room for everyone there. W: Ok. What sort of things would you like? M: Just a light lunch I think, so that people can eat while they move around and talk to each other. You did some thing similar for us last year. We'd be happy to have the same menu again. W: Right. I'll look at my diary and see what you had last time. Oh, I nearly forgot to ask you how many should I cater for? M: Well, I think most people will be able to come, perhaps around 30. No, let's say 35, to be sure. W: Right, thank you for getting in touch, Mr. Smith. I'll send you confirmation of the arrangements by the end of this week. M: Ok. What was said before this conversation????

input question: M: Yes, I was wanting to stay somewhere for a few days. W: Well, there are some good hotels. Carlton House is near the main square in the city center, but you might also be interested in the Royal Hotel-that's out in the countryside, about ten kilometers away, very peaceful. Then there's the Rainbow Hotel-it is not in the center, but it's out on the airport road. M: Mmm, that might be a bit far out actually. Now the one you mentioned, in the city center. Can you tell me a bit about it? W: Well, it used to be a large private house. It's a five-star hotel. M: Does it have a swimming pool? W: No. The Royal Hotel has an outdoor pool, but the only hotel with an indoor pool is the Rainbow Hotel. M: I see. Well, I think I'll probably go for the city center hotel.
