Problem: Given the question: W: Well, yes, I did. I came in first in this little competition in the local newspaper, and it was this competition where you had to, um, finish the sentence "School is..." M: Right. W: And design a poster and because I was quite a good student at the time, I said "School is the key to a new and better world." M: So how old were you then? W: It was ten years ago, and I was eleven. M: Oh, right. So what did you win then? W: I won a 20-dollar gift certificate to Hathaway House Bookshop, and I spent the whole summer there because twenty dollars were quite a lot then. I still have the books that I bought there. M: Lucky you. What was said before this conversation?

Please answer this: W: Well, you would like to check the progress of the website-design, right? M: Yes, but it seems that we've got some problems with the BBS. The part-time web designer was not as good as what we had thought before. She informed us just now that she could not complete this task. W: Well, didn't you talk with her about what she should do at the beginning? M: Not really. She was recommended by Sampson and from what he told me, she sounded to be pretty qualified to do the job. I'm not asking for a terrific web design but to build up a structure with all the basic elements of web design. W: Did you ask her why she wasn't frank with you in the beginning if she couldn't do the BBS? M: I did. But she said it was a communication problem. W: So now what do you plan to do since she got the job half done? M: On one side, I will not pay her full fees since she wasn't honest with me in the beginning. On the other side, I have to search around for another guy to complete the job. W: I agree. That should also teach her a lesson. For us, I think we had better turn to our Part-time Job Center for help. There, we can get a professional to work at it. What was said before this conversation?
