[Q]: M: Oh, it's very easy. My house is only five minutes' walk from the station. Turn right outside the station, and then it's the third street on the left. You can't miss it. It's got the number on the gate. It's exactly opposite the park. W: I see. Thanks. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: W: How can I get to your house?

[Q]: W: Oh, I don't know. Maybe go to the beach if it's nice weather. M: But we did that last weekend. Let's do something different. W: Hum... Hey, I know what! Why don't we climb Mt. Fuji? M: Great idea! I've always wanted to do that! W: Paul and Mary talked about a bicycle ride yesterday, but they haven't made the final decision. Maybe we could persuade them to join us. M: Wonderful! I give them a call right now. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: M: What do you want to do this weekend?

[Q]: Man: Yes, I'd like to reserve a room for two on the 21st of March. Hotel Clerk: Okay. Let me check our computer here for a moment. The 21st of May, right? Man: No. March, not May. Hotel Clerk: Oh, sorry. Let me see here. Hmmm. Man: Are you all booked that night? Hotel Clerk: Well, we have one suite available, complete with a kitchenette and a sauna bath. And the view of the city is great, too. Man: How much is that? Hotel Clerk: It's only $200 dollars, plus a 10% room tax. Man: Oh, that's a little too expensive for me. Do you have a cheaper room available either on the 20th or the 22nd? Hotel Clerk: Well, would you like a smoking or a non-smoking room? Man: Non-smoking, please. Hotel Clerk: Okay, we do have a few rooms available on the 20th; we're full on the 22nd, unless you want a smoking room. Man: Well, how much is the non-smoking room on the 20th? Hotel Clerk: $80 dollars, plus the 10% room tax. Man: Okay, that'll be fine. Hotel Clerk: All right. Could I have your name, please? Man: Yes. Bob Maexner. Hotel Clerk: How do you spell your last name, Mr. Maexner? Man: M-A-E-X-N-E-R. Hotel Clerk: Okay, Mr. Maexner, we look forward to seeing you on March 20th. Man: Okay. Goodbye.

[A]: Hotel Clerk: Hello. Sunnyside Inn. May I help you?

[Q]: M: Well, to tell the truth, I'm so busy with my work. I don't really have much time to surf the Web. Let me think...I suppose I log on a couple of times a week, for about two or three hours at a time. W: So, what do you do on the Internet when you log on? M: Well, sometimes I look up information I need for my job. It saves a lot of time looking through books in the library. W: Yes, it sure does. What was said before this conversation?
