W: OK, Mr. Stone. We have you on our records. Can you manage this afternoon? M: I'm afraid not. 1 can manage tomorrow. W: I'm afraid Mr. Milton is not on duty tomorrow. He'll be here the day after tomorrow. That's Thursday, March 27th. M: Fine. W: Will 5:20 be all right? M: Well, yes. But what time is the clinic closed? W: We start from 9:00 a.m. and close at 7:00 p. m. on weekdays. We don't work at the weekend. M: I'd prefer a later time so that I can come along after work. W: Then what about 6:15?

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: Is this table on the corner okay? W: Sure, we can sit here. Be seated. M: Gee, you've hardly got anything on your tray. W: Yeah, I guess I'm just not that hungry. M: What's the matter? Aren't you feeling well? W: Well, I've been really worried. It's my car. It's in the repair shop again! M: Really? What's wrong this time? W: I don't know exactly. Something's wrong with the brakes I think. M: Well, at least that shouldn't cost too much to fix. Parts are cheaper for old American cars like yours. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost? W: He said he'd call me with an estimate later on today. M: Watch out he doesn't try to take advantage of you. W: What do you mean? M: Well, some car mechanics, if they think that someone doesn't know much about cars, they might try to overcharge that person. W: Maybe so, but I trust this guy. He was recommended by one of my neighbors. He's done some work for me in the past and his prices seemed to be reasonable. M: Oh, that's good to know. Maybe I'll try using him in the future. By the way, did you need a ride home after class today? W: Oh, I'll sure appreciate it. It's really tough getting around without a car when you live off campus. What would the listener say?

Problem: Read the below conversation. M: The prevailing attitude about premarital contracting is that it spoils the whole concept of marriage, love, and trust. How do you counter that? F: First of all, most of us hear about premarital contracting when someone rich and famous gets divorced and about all the battles they are going through. I know when my husband and I decided that we wanted to have a premarital contract, my son said "Why you guys doing that? Don't you trust each other?" So it's not surprising that people's initial reaction is a negative one. But in fact, premarital contracting is a way that we can learn more about each other, make each other feel more comfortable about issues that are of concerns, and certainly clarify money concerns. This way, we can talk about them, decide together how we want our marriage to work, and if necessary, and only if necessary, we put it in a premarital contract, a legal document. M: Each year, there is one divorce for every two marriages. And a substantial portion of those who have divorced remarry. Is the notion of the premarital contract simply for those who are entering second marriages, or is it also something for the people getting married for the first time? What would the listener say?

A:
W: Premarital contracting is a communication process. I think all of us, whatever age we are, whatever financial status we have, we have things to talk about. And if we avoid doing that and wait until there are problems, it's almost too late. I think that no matter what age, whether we've been married once or not, whether we have stepchildren, whether we have assets, it's important to communicate and consider a legal document.
