Please answer this: W: Not much. M: Why, what's wrong with it? W: Oh, I don't know. It's just that he overloads it with details. The course he gave on town planning last year, it was just the same-a load of details, which you could have got from a book anyway. There was no overall ... M: No general overview you mean? W: Yes. I suppose you could call it that. I couldn't see the town for the buildings. M: But you've got to have the details in this kind of subject. Anyway I think he's good. You take his first lecture for instance. I thought that was very interesting, and not at all over-detailed. W: Well, he starts off all right, but then he just piles on the details. M: Now you're exaggerating. W: Well, the way he dealt with the Western developments, that wasn't bad, I suppose. M: You seem to have got something. Perhaps Potter is a little disorganized, but I think he's good. W: Do you really think so? M: He does do most of his teaching to the postgraduates. He only does the one undergraduate course each year. After all, I think he tends to forget where he is. He starts off being nice and general and then tries to cram in a bit too much specialized information. W: The main thing I object to is the lack of direction. What was said before this conversation?

A: M: Hi, Jane. So glad to see you again.
Problem: Given the question: M: Am I? I didn't know. W: Have you ever been on the radio before? M: No, not really. I mean I've never found so much money before. W: Tell me what happened that morning. M: Well, I collected my newspapers at about 8 o'clock and started my pa- per around. I went past the phone box and I saw this black bag in one comer. I got off my bike to have a better look. It was just an ordinary case. So I decided to find out who it belonged to. W: When did you realize it was money? M: As soon as I opened it. W: What did you do next? M: I rushed out of the box, went to the nearest house, and phoned the police. W: what did the police do with the bag? M: I didn't stay to find out. I had to go and continue the delivery of my newspapers. W: Were you late for school? M: Only about five minutes. Nobody seemed to mind. What was said before this conversation?

output answer: F: What do you study at college?
W: That's all right. John. My house is not that easy to find. But you know you wouldn't have gotten lost if you had a smart car. M: A smart car? What's that? W: I just read a magazine article about some new technology that can make a car smart. One device is a computerized map display and an artificial voice. You just enter the address for where you want to go and the voice will tell you how to get there,street by street. M: Hey, that's just like my brother. He never gets lost and he's always telling me the best route. So what else will the smart cars be able to do? W: Well, the article says there'll be a device with read-on warning systems that will warn drivers with a long signal if they're getting too close to other cars. And they will even put on brakes if the drivers don't. M: Tell me, Shelly. Will these cars be smart enough to fill themselves up with gas? W: Not by now. Why do you ask? M: I'm not late because I got lost. I'm late because I ran out of gas on the way over there. What was said before this conversation?
