[Q]: W: I mean, you could lose a few pounds, but I certainly don't think you look fat. Did he suggest anything to help you lose weight? M: He just said the usual stuff, like "eat less and exercise more". I guess I could cut out soda... W: Maybe you should cut out the sweets. M: I eat sweets when I'm stressed out, so that's going to be hard. I guess I should go to the gym tomorrow. I'm a member, but I never go. W: I thought we were going to that new restaurant tomorrow after work. We've been talking about it for weeks. M: Well, it's probably not healthy for me to be going out to eat, you know? The gym seems like a smarter choice. Come to think of it, maybe I'll go to the grocery store tonight and stock up on healthy options, too. What was said before this conversation?

input: Please answer the following: M: Yeah, Laura. I'm going for a ride around the Qinghai Lake on Saturday, but it depends on the weather. W: According to the forecast, it'll be cloudy the day after tomorrow, good for a ride. M: Great! Do you go riding often? W: Absolutely. I go as much as I can, because we can really get in touch with nature. It would be nice to get out of the city. Do you want any company? M: Sure, but it will be a 30-mile ride. Have you been riding so long before? W: Yeah, I go a lot too. I even saw a bear and some monkeys on my last ride. My friend Mike and I rode more than 30 miles to a very wild part of the national forest. M: Wow! You must have been pretty far away from the city. Shall we invite him to go along? W: Of course. I'll ask him. M: Thanks. We will have a good time this weekend. What was said before this conversation?

Problem: M: Yes, this is Jack Kordell from Hunter's Office Supplies. May I speak to Elaine Strong, please? W: I'm sorry, but she's not in right now. She should be here later in the afternoon, maybe about 4:30. May I take a message? M: Yes. Ms. Strong sent me your newest line of laptop computers with a description of other software products, but there wasn't any information about after sales service. W: Oh, I'm sorry. Would you like me to fax that to you? M: Yes. Could you try sending that information around 3:30? That should give me time to look over the material before I call Ms. Strong, say, around 5:00. W: Sure. Could I have your name, telephone number, and fax number, please? M: Yes. Jack Kordell and the phone number is 560 1287. And the fax number is 560 1288. W: All right. I'll be sure to send you the fax this afternoon. M: Okay, bye. What was said before this conversation?

input: Please answer the following: M: Have you ever been to Curacao? W: No, I haven't. It's so far. M: Oh, come on! In this day and age, nothing is far. Besides, once you get there, it's like being in paradise. I really think you should consider it. In fact, I suggest you ask your travel agent about it. W: What's so great about Curacao? It's just another tropical island with a pretty beach. M: Just another tropical island? Bright sunny days with blue water rolling upon to the clean white sand. Gentle winds blowing through the palm trees of clear move at night. Come on! It's a tremendous place to go. W: Oh, I don't know. M: Look! You can go wherever you want. But it's important that you relax during your vacation. And Curacao is the perfect place for that. I mean, you can do all the things you like to do. Play tennis, swim, read, rest, not to mention eat well and get a great suntan. Why are you so hesitant? Come on! Be adventurous. W: You're certainly making it sound better by the minute. OK, maybe I'll check it out with my travel agent. M: I suggest you hurry. This is a very busy time of the year. And reservations aren't always easy to get. And it is absolutely necessary that you have reservations. What was said before this conversation?
