Q: M: I'm looking for my sweater. W: It's here, here you are. What was said before this conversation?
A: W: What are you doing, Jay?
Question: M: Well, Double the Fun is a party bus where you and up to 50 friends can hold celebrations. All buses have fridges for cold drinks, disco-quality sound, an amazing light show and comfortable leather seats. What we don't have is cooking equipment. All buses also have a bus host, whose job is to make sure all the guests get back on the bus after each stop. W: After each stop? So guests don't spend the whole evening driving around on the bus? M: No! In fact, we take them to 4 different clubs during the evening. At each club, we've booked special VIP entrance, which means no waiting to get in, and everyone gets a free drink. W: Anything else our listeners should know about the parties? M: Yes, all guests must be smartly dressed. No jeans or sports shoes. The only exception would be if they want to have a fancy-dress party. And we need to know the time you book if you are planning a fancy-dress party. Clubs like to know in advance when parties will be arriving. W: Thanks, Dennis. What was said before this conversation?
Answer: W: On today's show we have Dennis Dean, owner of Double the Fun bus parties. Hi, Dennis. Can you tell us what you do?

[A]: W: Do you think that Jim really fell in love with Alison?
input: Please answer the following: M: Oh, yes. My wife bought it for me yesterday. Hmm, you look nice in that yellow dress. Yellow suits you really well. W: Maybe. Several people also have suggested that I get more yellow clothes. They say the color suits me because of my skin. M: That's right. You know, pink, green and black could also be good for you. Actually, I think all colors are okay for a person like you. Different colors can give people different impressions. For example, black could make you look mature, while pink could make you look young and energetic. W: It's kind of you to say so. It sounds like you're a clothing expert. M: Well, compared with my wife, I'm just a beginner. What was said before this conversation?

Please answer this: M: Yes, Jessie. I'm fond of fishing, painting, stamp-collecting, and... W: Wow, so many! I just like taking photographs. M: In my family, everyone has more than one interest.

M: In her spare time, she likes going to the gym. She also likes making things to decorate our home. W: Your sisters and brothers must like fashionable ones. M: I've one sister and one brother. My younger brother Alan is 17 years old. He likes singing, playing the piano and skiing. My sister Lisa is 12 years old. Her hobbies include making small things, playing the violin and riding her bicycle around the neighborhood. W: Your family has got a variety of interests. What was said before this conversation?

Question: Shawn: Fine. How about you? Norman: Okay. Huh, by the way, my wife and I are going out of town this weekend, and I was wondering if you could take care of some of our animals while we're gone. You know our dog, Jaws, don't you? Shawn: Yeah. My leg still hurts from the last incident. Norman: Hey, he's just a playful little beast. Shawn: Right. Norman: Hey, he likes to bark a little, and his bark is worse than his bite. Shawn: Oh yeah. Norman: Just feed him a can of dog food a day, and make sure he has plenty of water in his dish. [Oh] And then, take him for a walk around the block. Shawn: Well, how about if I just throw a Frisbee over the fence to give him some exercise? Wouldn't that work? Norman: Ah, and then, he likes to watch the 3:00 soap opera on Channel 4 [What?] ... and brush his teeth after you give you some doggie treats around 4:00. Shawn: Man, you really pamper your dog. Norman: And, then brush his fur for about twenty minutes. He tends to shed this time of year. [Ah, what?] And then scratch him around the ears. Otherwise, he feels neglected. Shawn: Is that it? Norman: Well, and then there's Claws. Shawn: Claws? Who's Claws. Norman: Oh, he's the cat we adopted from the animal shelter, but he's a little temperamental. Shawn: What do you mean "temperamental"? Norman: Well, he has mood swings [Mood swings?], but he's been doing better since he's been going to the animal therapist. Shawn: A therapist? Norman: So, be sure to feed him a half cup of cat food two times a day [What? A therapist ...], and don't forget to put out (on) some soft classical music during his nap time at 2:40 p.m. But don't let him out of the house because he might run away and chase the neighbor's dog. Shawn: You have some high-maintenance animals. Norman: Not really. And, don't forget to change the cat litter daily, or he might have an accident on the carpet. [Oh, great.] And finally, there's Buttercup. Shawn: Buttercup? Who's Buttercu ...? I'm afraid to ask. Norman: Ah, she's a sweetie [What?] ... if you... What was said before this conversation?
