Q: W: Fine. Thanks. M: Tomorrow is my birthday. I would like to invite you and your family to my birthday party. Our teacher Mr. Wang in University will come also. W: Thank you very much. When will it begin? M: At 6:30 pm. W: Oh. Let me see. I get off work at 5:30 every day and then spend about 35 minutes on meeting my husband and my daughter, We shall cost about 45 minutes to go to your home. Is that all right? M: Yes, of course. W: OK. See you tomorrow. M: See you then. What was said before this conversation?
A: M: Hello. I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?

Q: M: Oh, it doesn't matter. Take it easy. What was said before this conversation?
A: W: Mr. Robert, I'm afraid I can't hand in the letter because the typewriter is broken.

Q: Woman: I bought it. So, what do you think of my new entertainment center? And the widescreen TV ... Man: Bought it? Woman: ... and my new DVD player. Here, let me show you my stereo. You can really rock the house with this one. Man: But where did you get the dough to buy all this? You didn't borrow money from mom and dad again, did you? Woman: Of course not. I got it with this! Man: This? Let me see that ... Have you been using Dad's credit card again? Woman: No, silly. It's mine. It's student credit card. Man: A student credit card? How in the world did you get one of these? Woman: I got an application in the mail. Man: Well, why did you get one in the first place? Woman: Listen. Times are changing, and having a credit card helps you build a credit rating, control spending, and even buy things that you can't pay with cash ... like the plane ticket I got recently. Man: What plane ticket? Woman: Oh yeah, my roommate and I are going to Hawaii over the school break, and course, I needed some new clothes for that so ... Man: I don't want to hear it. How does having a student credit card control spending? It sounds you've spent yourself in a hole. Anyway, student credit cards just lead to impulse spending ... as I can see here. And the interest rates of student credit cards are usually sky-high, and if you miss a payment, the rates, well, just jump! Woman: Ah. The credit card has a credit limit ... Man: ... of $20,000? Woman: No, no quite that high. Anyway, ... Man: I've heard enough. Woman: Did I tell you we now get digital cable with over 100 channels? Oh, and here's your birthday present. A new MP3 player ... Man: Yeah. Oh, don't tell me. Charged on the credit card. Listen. Hey, I don't think having a student credit card is a bad idea, but this is ridiculous. And how in the world are you going to pay off your credit card bill? Woman: Um, with my birthday money? It's coming up in a week. Man: Hey, let's sit down and talk about how you're going to pay things back, and maybe we can come up... What was said before this conversation?
A: Man: Hi, Sis. I just came over to drop off the DVDs you wanted, and ... Hey, wow!? Where did you get all of this stuff?

Q: W: I wouldn't miss it for the world! It's sure to be fun. She's invited a lot of friends. Do you think everyone will be able to get into her house? M: If everyone turned up, it would be very crowded. But a few said that they couldn't go, so I think it should be OK. W: Are you taking anything? M: I've got her a birthday present and I'll take a bottle of wine too. W: That's a good idea. She has bought plenty of food and drinks. It's going to be a noisy party. I hope her neighbours don't mind too much. M: Helen gets on very well with her neighbours. I wouldn't be surprised if they went to the party too. What was said before this conversation?
A:
M: Are you going to Helen's birthday party on Friday evening?
