M: I'm pleased to hear that. W: But I have to say goodbye right now. M: Why? It's not late. Can't you stay a little longer? W: No, I'm sorry, but I really must go. I don't know whether I can catch the last bus if I don't hurry now. M: When does the bus go? W: At ten o'clock. Oh dear! It's already a quarter past ten. M: Don't worry, Kate. Since you have missed the bus, it is unnecessary for you to hurry. I can drive you home. W: Thank you. You are so kind. But my mother will worry about me if I'm too late getting home. I must get home before 11:00. M: That's all right. Let's go now. But I hope to have a chance to see you again. W: Thank you, John. What was said before this conversation?

Q: M: Yes, please. I want to buy a personal gift for my brother. He's taking a trip to South America. W: Is he going by ship or plane? M: He,s flying. My gift will have to be something light in weight. What can you suggest? W: What about this tie? It's made of pure silk. M: My sister already gave him one. I'd like something unusual.

Question: M: I play football, volleyball, tennis, and table tennis but volleyball is my favorite game as it's team game and you can play it with your friends, and enjoy it as a team. W: Is it quite a fast game as well? M: Yeah. It is a fast game and that's another reason why I enjoy it. W: How exciting... M: Yes. W: Where do you play, then? M: I play at local sports centres more during the winter and sort of play in tournaments around England. I also, in the summer, play beach volleyball. W: Is beach volleyball different from the volleyball you play in the centres? M: Yes, it's a very different game. Instead of six players on a team, it's only two players. W: You mentioned you played in tournaments--now do you do quite well in the tournaments? M: Yes, I've played for South West England and we've got through to the semi-finals of different England tournaments, and for Wessex, my other volleyball team, we've actually won a few tournaments. So yes, I have done quite well. W: Oh well done! What was said before this conversation?
