[Q]: B: Hi, Diana, what's wrong? A: We were going to Hong Kong this weekend, but I'm afraid I can't go. B: How come? A: I have a really big geography test and I have to study for it. B: We can go next week instead. A: No, I don't want to ruin your weekend. You go ahead and please take the book I bought to my friend Sally. Tell her I have to study all weekend, because I can't afford to fail the test. B: Ok, then I'll go with Dan. But it's a pity you can't come. What was said before this conversation?
