Problem: M: Yeah. On Saturday, I'm flying to Toronto. W: Is this another engineering conference for work? M: No. I'm meeting with friends. But I earned so many miles by traveling for work that the ticket was free. W: That's impressive. You fly a lot. I've only been on a plane a few times. M: Really? Don't you travel with your dad? W: No. He travels a lot because he is a banker,and he has an office in Japan. When he's working in New York, we take the train to visit him. M: Oh, I thought you drove. W: No, my mom dislikes driving in the city. Besides, the train is super relaxing. M: What does your mom do for work? W: She's a nurse. But she gets the weekends off. M: I see. Does she like New York? W: Actually,neither of us likes it that much. But we love spending time with my dad there. What was said before this conversation?

A: W: Are you packing for another trip?

Problem: M: Well, it's a bit difficult. There are thousands of overseas students here, you know. W: Would it be better to stay in a hotel, to share a flat, or to stay with a family? M: It would probably be better to stay with a family to begin with, Carla. W: You wouldn't recommend sharing a flat? M: No, I wouldn't move into a flat if I were you. You won't get much studying done in a flat. You'll spend half your time cooking and cleaning! W: How can I find out about families who take in students? M: There's a list at the student union building, on campus. The people at the student union should be able to help you find a family to stay with. What was said before this conversation?
