[Q]: Read the below conversation. W: Do you know Tom? W: Tom what? M: Tom Smith. W: No. But I know a Tim Smith. M: Oh, yes, you are right. It was Tim Smith I meant. You know what happened to him the other day? W: No, what happened then? M: Well, he told me he saw his dead grandfather in London. W: Oh, come on. You are not telling a ghost story, are you? M: But he told me it was true. You see, his grandfather used to be an army officer during the war. And because he didn't return home after the war, everybody thought he had been killed in the war. W: But then, he suddenly appeared alive, like in those films. M: Exactly. Tom, oh no, Tim, told me that by chance he saw an old man at the railway station selling newspapers. And he was surprised to see someone like his grandfather in a picture he had seen. So naturally he went to the man and asked him whether his name was Smith. And the man, I mean, his grandfather, said yes, and after that everything happened just like a film. W: Amazing. But why didn't the old man go back to his hometown after the war? What would the listener say?

[A]: M: Well, that's another long story. I'll tell you later.

I have no idea what'll happen in class and how I'll get along with my classmates. W: I understand how you're feeling. Just take it easy. You'll make a lot of friends very soon. M: Thank you. I'll try my best to get used to my new school life as soon as possible. By the way, what time does the first class begin? W: At 8 o'clock. But before that we have 10 minutes to hand in homework and then 20 minutes for morning reading. M: So we must get to school before 7:30, right? W: Right. M: How long does each class last? W: 45 minutes, I think, with a 10 or 15 minutes' break. M: Well, I hear that lunchtime is nearly 12 o'clock and I'll be starving by then. W: Don't worry. During the break after the second class, we can buy something to eat. What would the listener say?

Question: Read the below conversation. M: Hello. Matt White speaking. 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. What would the listener say?
Answer:
M: Goodbye, Ms. Johnson.
