Q: M: Umm... I want to know when "Operation Red Sea" is showing today. W: There are 6 showings today, one in the morning, another at noon, and then 3 p.m., 6 p.m., 9 p. m., and a midnight showing. M: OK, I want 5 tickets for the 9 p.m. showing tonight. Are there still 5 tickets available that are seated together? W: I'm sorry, there are only 3 tickets left. How about the 6 p.m. showing? There are still 7 tickets left for that show. M: But we have a date for dinner at 5 p.m., so we won't make the beginning of the movie. W: So would you like to see another movie? "Detective China Town 2" is very popular, too. M: No, we all want to see this one. Is there any way that we could buy tickets now for Friday's screens? W: You can order tickets right now for the next three days. It's Wednesday today. So, that's OK. What time would you like? M: The 9 p.m. showing. I think there might be more people who want to see the movie on Friday. How many tickets can I buy at one time? W: The limit for advanced tickets is 10. M: OK, I'll have 8 tickets for the showing of "Operation Red Sea". Are the tickets available? W: Yes, you're lucky. M: By the way, when can I pick up the tickets? W: You can have them right now if you pay for them. M: Great! Thanks! What was said before this conversation?
A: W: Welcome to Wanda International Cinema. Can I help you?

Q: M: OK. Will the lessons be for yourself or your son? W: I want to learn. My son is only three. M: Fine. Have you had any musical experience before? W: Well, I studied the piano for about three months but that was 6 years ago. M: That's good. So we needn't start right from the beginning again. W: When can I take lessons and how much do they cost? M: Well, that depends on you. We have a small group that meets on Monday and Wednesday evenings for two hours, that costs $4 an hour. Then on Tuesdays and Thursdays I give private lessons which cost $8 an hour. W: I'm afraid that I can't make it on Mondays but I can come on Wednesdays. What was said before this conversation?

Q: M: The left one. It's really painful. I can hardly hear with it. W: Don't go swimming for the next two days. If it doesn't get better by tomorrow, you should see the doctor. M: I guess so. Maybe I should get something from the drugstore right now. What was said before this conversation?
