Answer: W: Hello. Can I help you?
Problem: M: Oh, when I was about ten years old. W: Ten years old? So you have loved it for 9 years. M: Yeah, it's really an exciting hobby. You know, the first postage stamps were issued in Britain in 1840. W: Really? I didn't know that. What's on the first postage stamps? M: Well, look, here's a picture of the first two stamps issued. W: Oh, they both bear a picture of Queen Victoria, don't they? M: Yes, I wish I had the originals, then I would be a wealthy man instead of a poor stamp collector. W: But I believe collecting stamps gives you much pleasure which not all wealthy men can enjoy. M: Yes, I do agree. What was said before this conversation?

A: W: When did you become interested in collecting stamps?
Problem: Given the question: W: Oh, hi. M: Do you have any idea what time it is? W: About ten or ten-thirty? M: It's nearly midnight. W: Really? I didn't know it was so late. M: Don't you have an early class to teach tomorrow morning? W: Yes, at seven o'clock. My commuter class, the students who go to work right after their lesson. M: Then you ought to go to bed. What are you writing, anyway? W: An article I hope I can sell. M: Oh, another of your newspaper pieces? What's this one about? W: Do you remember the trip I took last month? M: The one up to the Amazon? W: Well, that's what I'm writing about-the new highway and the changes it's making in the Amazon valley. M: It should be interesting. W: It is. I guess that's why I forgot all about the time. M: How many articles have you sold now? W: About a dozen so far. M: What kind of newspapers buy them? W: The papers that carry a lot of foreign news. They usually appear in the big Sunday editions where they need a lot of background stories to help fill up the space between the ads. M: Is there any future in it? W: I hope so. There's a chance I may sell this article to a news service. M: Then your story would be published in several papers, wouldn't it? W: That's the idea. And I might even be able to do other stories on a regular basis. M: That would be great. What was said before this conversation?
