Q: Woman: Yeah. We met on campus last week, [Yeah!] and you asked me the same question. Man: Oh, oh really? I'm really sorry, but I'm terrible with names. But, but, but... Let me guess. It's Sherry, right? Woman: No, but you got the first letter right. Man: I know, I know. It's on the tip of my tongue. Wait. Uh, Sandy, Susan. [Nope. So, was I that memorable?] Wait, wait. It's Sharon. Woman: You got it... and only on the fourth try. Man: So, well, Sh..., I mean Sharon. How are you? Woman: Not bad. And what was your name? Man: It's Ben, but everyone calls me B.J. And, uh, what do you do, Sh... Sharon? Woman: I'm a graduate student majoring in TESL. Man: Uh, TESL... What's that? Woman: It stands for teaching English as a second language. I want to teach English to non-native speakers overseas. Man: Oh, yeah. I'm pretty good at that English grammar. You know, verbs and adjectives, and uh... Hey, that's sound really exciting. And do you need some type of specific degree or experience to do that? I mean could I do something like that? Woman: Well, most employers overseas are looking for someone who has at least a Bachelor's degree and one or two years of experience. [Oh!] And what do you do? Are you a student on campus? Man: Yeah, but, uh... I guess I'm mulling over the idea of going into accounting or international business, but I guess I'm leaning now towards a degree in marketing. Woman: Oh, uh,... Well, I have to run. I have a class in ten minutes. Man: Oh, okay. And, uh, by the way, there's this, uh, dance on campus at the student center tonight, and I was wondering if you'd... you know... like to come along. Woman: Oh really? Well, perhaps... Man: Okay, well, bye. What was said before this conversation?

W: I'm fed up with French fries and hamburgers. I think we'd better go to the restaurant around the corner. It's a family-type. It serves good food at very reasonable prices. M: OK, let's go.

[Q]: M: Help. I need some help! W: Yes sir. Can you tell me what is happening?

M: On the...on the ...I'm sorry, I'm too nervous right now. We're on the second floor of Cutler Hall, Room 211. W: I understand, sir. May I have your name and the student's name? M: Her name is...uh...Anita Rivera. And my name's Lawrence Clark. I'm a professor here at the university. W: Okay, who is there with you? M: Um, Anita and two other students. They're watching her while I call. Do you think we should drive her to the hospital? W: No, an ambulance is already on its way. It should be there very soon. M: Uh, what should we do while we wait for it to come? W: Just keep her calm and warm. M: Okay, well do that. Thank you. What was said before this conversation?

Question: Woman: Yeah. My fingers are numb. Man: So, do you often ski here? Woman: No, this is my first time. Actually, this is my first time skiing ... ever. Man: So, how do you like it so far? Woman: The snow is great [ Yeah ...], but it's too crowded. You know, two people crashed into me on my first run, and some stupid skier was going way too fast ... drove me into some trees. [ Wow! ] I crashed and lost one of my gloves. [ Oh, man. ] Fortunately, I had an extra pair with me. Man: Wow. Well, did the woman stop and apologize? Woman: No, it was a man. I'm certain of it. He just ... he just laughed at me. Why do you think it was a woman, anyway? Man: Uh, well, no reason. I mean, well, you know. Woman: What? You know what? Man: Uh, uh, nothing. Woman: Yeah. You just wait until I find that guy. Man: Uh, well, what are you going to do to him, I mean, if you find him? Woman: First, I'm going to break his skis. [ Oh, well ... ] And then, I'm going to take his picture and post it on Facebook. Man: Uh, don't you think that's a little drastic? Perhaps, it was a simple mistake. And how are you going to identify him anyway? Woman: Oh, that's easy. He was wearing bright red boots and a purple hat ... um, just like yours. Heh, heh, heh ... Man: Now, now, now. Wait, wait! Yeah. What do you mean? [ Yeah ... ] Wait! Why are you looking at me? You don't think it was me, do you? ... Do you like jazz music? What was said before this conversation?
