W: I'm leaving on Sunday night. M: What's your schedule? W: I arrive in Wellington on Monday, attend a conference there on Tuesday, and leave for Brisbane early Wednesday morning. M: How long will you stay there? W: I'll see our new agent Mr. Graig there on Thursday. I'm free on Friday, but I'm catching the 10 o'clock plane on Saturday to go to the fair in Sydney. M: You've got a full schedule. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: M: When are you leaving?

W: In just three weeks. But there are still a few things I need to do before I go. M: Like what? W: Like renewing my passport, going to the travel service to buy my plane ticket, and considering what to do with my house while I'm away. M: You're not going to give it up, are you? W: No way! I'll never find another house here, But I don't want to pay three months' rent for an empty house, either. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: M: You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe. When are you leaving?

M: What?! W: I'm sorry. I don't know how it happened. She was in her usual place under the bed. When I opened the front door to get the morning paper, I saw her run past me really quickly. I tried to close the door in time, but she must have gotten out. M: Diane, she's a house cat. She's not supposed to go outside, ever! She could get lost and never find her way back. Or worse, she could get hit by a car! W: I feel like a terrible roommate, Lenny. I wish there were something I could do to fix this. M: Wait... You've looked everywhere for her? W: Yes... under the sofa, in the dirty clothes, behind the bookcase... M: Did you check back under the bed where she was? W: Hmm, I guess I didn't think to look there. I just assumed that she had... M: Look who I found! W: Oh, my! I can't believe it! I thought she had gone out of the front door, but I guess I didn't actually see her make it outside. M: Sometimes she starts to head out there, but she changes her mind at the last second. Then she just goes back to her safe place! The outside world can be a scary place for her!

Ans: W: Lenny, I'm not sure how to say this, but here it goes: I lost your cat this morning.

M: Hotel management. W: What do you want to do when you graduate? M: I'd like to work for a hotel or a travel agency in this area. How about you? W: At first I wanted to major in French or history, but I realized I might have a hard time finding a job, so I major in computer science. With the right skills, getting a job shouldn't be so difficult. M: Do you have a part-time job to support yourself through school? W: Fortunately for me, I received a four-year academic scholarship. M: Wow. That's great. W: Are you working your way through school? M: Yeah. I work as a cook in a restaurant near campus three times a week. What was said before this conversation?
