Problem: W: Oh yes, it is. Thank you. I was looking for it just now. M: You look a bit familiar to me. I wonder if we have met somewhere before? W: Have we? M: May I ask where you live? W: Just two blocks away, in that tall building. M: That's it. I live there too. I am on the 8th floor. W: It's a small world. We live on the same floor. M: I'm Adam Smith. May I know your name?

A: M: Is this your umbrella, Miss?

Problem: W: Yes. We seldom see so much rain at this time of year. What was said before this conversation?

A: M: The heavy rain caused flooding, which made it hard to plant new crops.

Problem: W: No, not yet. But I think I'm going to take up singing. M: Any special reasons? W: Yes. It's because I am good at singing songs. All my classmates say so. Besides, singing is quite interesting, and you will meet a lot of audience. M: And you will have to please them too. W: Well, you do it in any job, don't you? M: And what do your parents think about it? W: They don't quite agree to my idea. That's the only trouble. M: Yes. Urn... my parents try to send me to an art college because they want me to be an actor. W: Then what will you do? M: Well... I haven't decided yet. But I usually get my own way in the end.

Problem: M: And this sports shirt too, all cleaned and ironed. When will they be ready? W: Is Sunday morning soon enough? M: Well, yes, but I need that coat earlier. W: We do have a special quick service at an extra charge of 15%. M: When will it be ready? W: Tomorrow afternoon. Any time after four o'clock. M: How late are you open? W: Until 9 o'clock in the evening, sir. M: Fine. That leaves me plenty of time to pick it up after work. W: OK. You can come for the coat any time after 4 o, clock. M: Good. Thank you.
