W: No problem! I bet this whole thing is pretty stressful M: Yeah! My parents are asking me all these stupid questions! W: Don't worry. You'll be free soon enough! M: Cool! So, how did you know what classes to take in the beginning? W: Well, I had no idea what I wanted to study when I first got here. I just kind of picked classes that sounded interesting. You can also choose classes based on when they are held so that your schedule flows nicely. M: What do you mean? W: Well, I'm taking four classes right now, but I only go to school three days a week, so I have four full days off. M: Are your classes hard? W: Well, there is a lot of information that you are responsible for, and you are expected to work independently. You also have to write a lot of papers for certain classes and participate in class discussions in others-each class is different. The trick is to figure out how to prepare for different kinds of courses. M: What about, uh, social life? W: I was waiting for that question! I'll tell you what. I'm gonna call up some of my friends, and we can all go out to lunch and talk about it. How does that sound? M: Awesome! What was said before this conversation?
Ans: M: Thank you so much for agreeing to meet up with me!

W: How many days do you have, Mr. Ross? M: We have three more days. We're leaving on Friday. W: Have you taken a bus tour? That's the best way to get to know the city. M: Not yet. But we hear that it's worth doing. W: Absolutely. And I think you should really visit the science museum while you are here. It's fascinating. Have you been there yet? M: No, we're going there tomorrow afternoon. W: Well, you'll love it. M: I'm sure we will. W: What about the zoo? Have you been there yet? M: Oh, yes. That was lovely. It's one of the nicest zoos I've ever seen. Even better than San Diego's. W: And if you're interested in art, you should visit the National Art Gallery. It has a famous collections of Italian paintings. M: Yes. I've read about that. We should try to get there while we are here. W: And don't forget to try some of the local restaurants. The seafood is great here. M: Yes, it certainly is! Last night we had fantastic clams. Say, would you like to join us for dinner tonight? My wife would like very much to meet you. W: That'd be lovely. Thank you. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: M: Miss Stewart, I wonder if you could give me some advice about where to go and what to see in the city?

W: Right, Mr Buck. I'll take down the details. M: Well, I'm leaving on Tuesday, April 15th, for London. I'm going to attend a sales conference for our British representatives. That runs through Wednesday and Thursday, and then there's a reception at Canada House on Thursday evening. W: Are you going to meet the Ambassador, then? M: I guess so. But the main thing is that on Friday morning, I have a meeting with the British Minister of Trade and Industry. We're going to discuss the site of our new plant in Scotland. W: So when are you leaving for Paris? M: First flight on Saturday morning. I'm planning to meet my wife there. She's going to fly over direct, arriving in the afternoon. Then we'll have a relaxed weekend before I see Mr Chambery, the European Manager, on Monday. So from Paris on, I'll need a double room. W: How long are you going to stay in Paris, Mr Buck? M: Only till Monday evening. I'm going to Rome to see our plant there on Tuesday, and on Wednesday I'm due in Madrid to inspect the new factory. W: And that's the last item on the agenda. So when are you coming back? Are you going to fly from Madrid? M: Yes, on the first plane out on Thursday. We must be back on Friday, the 25th. It's my daughter Sharon's birthday.

Ans: M: I think we'd better go over my schedule, Irene. I'm going to have a look at our European operation, as you know, and as I'll be visiting a number of countries, I'd like you to make the bookings.

W: Why? M: They're about five minutes from Tiergarten Park. The park has three courses for thirty-minute, sixty-minute, and ninety-minute roams. I enjoyed one of the roams every morning there. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: M: Next time in Berlin, I'll stay at Hotel Adlon or Gate Hotel again.
