Question: M: Yes, please. I want to buy a personal gift for my brother. He's taking a trip to South America. W: Is he going by ship or by plane? M: He's flying. My gift will have to be something light in weight. What can you suggest? W: What about this leather wallet? It's made of crocodile leather. M: My sister has already given him one. I'd like something unusual. W: Here is a gift for the man who has everything. M: Oh,a folding toothbrush. That's a wonderful idea. How much is it? W: 3. What was said before this conversation?

input: Please answer the following: M: Richard and Marilyn bought it for me for my birthday. W: They are so kind. You are very lucky, Robbie, to have such a nice family. M: Is something wrong, Alexandra? W: No, nothing. M: Yes, there is. I can tell. What's the matter? Come on, you can tell me. What's up? W: I received a letter from my parents this morning. I miss them very much. The Molinas treat me so nicely and I like being with your family so much...but when I received the letter with photographs of my family, I cried. M: You really miss your family,don't you? W: Yes, I know I must seem silly. It's not like I have nobody. I like the Molinas very much, and they're so kind to me. M: Hey, why don't we go out for a hamburger and French fries? That'll cheer you up. And you can use my walkman. W: That's a good idea. But if you go out, please don't complain about your math teacher or your math homework, I want to have fun. What was said before this conversation?

Please answer this: W: Hello, Dr. White, my name's Pan Johnson. My roommate, Janet Holmes, wanted me to call you. M: Janet Holmes? Oh, that's right. She's in my Shakespearean English class. Has anything happened to her? W: Nothing, it's just that she submitted a job application yesterday and the company asked her in for an interview today. She's afraid she won't be able to attend your class this afternoon. I'm calling to see whether it would be OK if I gave you her essay. M: Certainly, that would be fine. Uh, you can either drop it off at my class or bring it to my office. W: Would it be all right to come by your office around 4:00? I'm afraid I can't come any earlier because I have three classes this afternoon. M: Uh, I won't be here when you come. I'm supposed to be at a meeting from 3:00 to 6:00, but how about leaving it with my secretary? She usually stays until 5:00. W: Fine, please tell her I'll be there at 4:00. And Dr. White, one more thing, could you tell me where your office is? Janet told me where your class is, but she didn't give me directions to your office. M: Well, I'm in Room 302 of the Gregory Building. I'll tell my secretary to put the paper in my mail box, and I'll get it when I return. W: I sure appreciate it. Goodbye, Dr. White. M: Goodbye, Ms. Johnson. What was said before this conversation?

input: Please answer the following: M: Mom, I really don't have time to work this summer. I am going to go to summer school and I need to practice skateboarding. Also, I want to go to the lake with Jeremy. W: Well, how are you going to pay to go to the lake? You are getting too old for us to give you money. You're not a young kid anymore! Also, college is very expensive these days. You should start saving money now - college is only three years away! M: OK, I'll apply for some jobs this weekend. Can you help me fill out job applications? W: Yes, I will help you. You should get an application from the supermarket on Walnut Street. Ms. Jacobs told me they are hiring students this summer.
