Problem: Given the question: W: Yes. I paid a visit to London and attended a summer course in English. M: Wow. It sounds so good. How long did you stay there? W: Well, I went there on July 5th and came back on August 15th. M: What about the course? W: I think the course was well organized. The teachers were nice. They taught us to listen, speak, read and write in English, but it mostly focused on speaking. One interesting thing I found was that the English classes were different from ours because they were very free. You can sit anywhere you like in the classroom. You can ask the teacher questions at any time during the class, and you are welcome to share your ideas with the classmates and teachers. I really enjoy this kind of class. M: How interesting! Maybe our teachers should try that. What was said before this conversation?

W: Professor Donner, are you giving your Advanced Geology course next semester? M: Yes, I'm planning on it. W: Could I be enrolled in it? I know it's a graduate course and I'm only a junior, but... M: Aren't you a bit young? I've allowed qualified seniors to take the course and they usually have a hard time keeping up. W: I know. But the geology of the American West is my favorite interest and I've done a lot of reading in the field. Last semester I took Professor Burman's course and I didn't find it really challenging enough. M: I see. You certainly aren't one of those students who are out for easy grades. W: I should say not. I really want to learn something. M: Well, I'll speak to Professor Burman. If he thinks you're ready, I'll let you enroll. W: Oh, thanks. That's really very kind of you.
