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?

Q: M: It's nothing serious actually. I was sick most of the night. I didn't sleep very well. W: What seems to be the matter? Is it the flu? M: No, I think it's something I ate. We ate at that new restaurant last night, and I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me. W: Was it that new restaurant over on Fourth Street? Opened only two weeks ago? M: As a matter of fact, it was. Why do you ask? W: Because Jerry ate there last week and had the same kind of problem. He was sick the next day, too. M: That's interesting. Maybe the health authorities should look into the matter. W: That's what I think. Two people with similar problems in such a short time can't just be coincidence!

Question: W: Twenty minutes already. M: Did you notice whether the No. 7 bus has passed by? W: Not while I've been standing here. I'm also waiting for the No. 7 bus myself. M: Good. Hot today, isn't it? W: Yes, it is. I wish that it would rain and cool off. M: Me, too. This is unusual for March. I don't remember it ever being so hot and dry in March before. W: My mother and I have just moved here from Indiana. It is pretty cold there. M: Yes, I've heard of that. W: Do you think we've missed the has? M: Take it easy. It never comes exactly on the half hour like it should. What was said before this conversation?

W: Yes, Dr. Downs said he expects us to have the first five on the list. He is going to discuss them in detail. M: Are you going to buy them? W: I don't know. These books are expensive. And I don't have a lot of money on me. M: How about sharing them with me? W: Sounds good. M: Let's do this. I will buy three and you buy two of them. W: I would rather do it this way: we pay fifty-fifty for the books now. And at the end of the course you can take the books you find more interesting and I will take the ones I like. M: What if we both like the same books? W: Come on, we are not going to argue over that, are we? M: I was just joking. It's definitely a better idea. W: Then let's get the books as soon as possible.
