Question: Man: Well, uh, I get up around a quarter to six ( 5:45 ) in the morning. Woman: Wow! That's kind of early. Man: A little. Then, I eat a quick breakfast, and I catch the bus at, uh, 7:00. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the bus stop. Woman: That's a pretty good walk. Man: Yeah, and uh, next, I work at the library from 8:00 to 11:15 or so, and I have classes from noon until about five. Woman: Um. Man: And then I catch the bus back home, and I arrive ... well, you know how the traffic is. It depends on traffic, but around 6:15, and I make a sandwich or something for dinner, and then I walk to the gym and meet some of my friends, uh, there [ Oh, that sounds fun. ] around 7:00. [ Around 7:00? ] You know Steve? [ Uh-huh. ] Yeah, he and I usually go. Steve and uh, what is her name? The new girl, um. I think her name is Amy. Woman: So you have a group you work out with then? Man: Right. Woman: That sounds fun. Man: And we exercise, play basketball, lift weights ... you know, do things like that ... for about an hour and a half. Woman: Wow. Do you do that every night? Man: Oh, no. I usually go to the gym on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. And on Wednesdays, I take guitar lessons [ Ooh, fun! ] Yeah, uh, in the evening at a music school, you know, just around the corner from my house. Woman: Oh, that's convenient. Man: Yeah, yeah. It's really nice. Woman: Well, I was wondering when do you get time to see your girlfriend. Man: That's the problem. I only see her on Tuesdays in the evening and on Saturdays and some Sundays. I mean, we usually text each other every day, and I sometimes call her during my lunch break. Woman: Oh, that's nice. Man: It sounds like you have a very busy schedule.

[Q]: W: This is Mary. Who's that speaking? M: Hi, Mary. This is Greg Sonders from Brown College. W: How can I help you, Mr. Sonders? M: Well, your papers mention your impressive grade point average. And your test scores meet our admission standards. But we'd like to know if you'd be interested in college sports. W: Definitely! I wrote on my application that I played high school basketball. In fact, I hold my school's all time record for points scored in a game. M: Great! Do you play any other sports? W: I also play volleyball. M: Great! Well, you've certainly made an impression on us. We'll let you know our decision soon. W: Thanks! M: Goodbye. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: M: Hi, can I talk to Mary, please?
input: Please answer the following: M: I was just taking a break. What's up? W: We'll have a math test next Monday, so I thought you'd be studying for it and maybe I can study with you. M: But I can't believe you are coming to me. I mean you do know what I got on the last test, don't you? W: Yeah, I know. You told me, but I thought two heads might be better than one. M: Well, that's a nice idea. But I wish I knew the person in our class who got a hundred on the last test. She even didn't miss any question, you know! Umm, was it Elizabeth? W: Oh yeah, Elizabeth! She is a good friend of mine. I think she'd be a big help to us right now. Why don't we give her a call? M: What? At this hour? It's already ten thirty. It's too late. W: But you know she owes me a big favor. Let's at least give her a call and see what she says. Maybe going over some of the problems with us would also help her review the material. M: You're right. Anyway, it's worth a try. What was said before this conversation?

Please answer this: M: Sure I did. They certainly beat going around with a wallet full of big bills. But carrying lots of cash is still very common among some older people traveling abroad. What was said before this conversation?
