Q: M: I'm usually up by 6:00 and out of the house by 6:15. W: That's pretty early. Don't you start work at 9:00? M: Well, I go to the gym every morning before I arrive at the office. There aren't many other people there at that time, and I usually don't feel like exercising after a long day at work. But the real reason is that it gives me the energy I need to make it through the day. W: So, you take a shower at the gym every morning? M: During the week, yes. I don't go to the gym on the weekend. I get all the exercise I need playing with my two sons at the park! W: I'll bet! My husband is always tired after he takes our daughter hiking in the mountains on the weekends. M: Hey, Sophie, we should all get together and do something fun this weekend. I know Molly would love to see you. W: That sounds great. What was said before this conversation?

[Q]: W: Well, to be honest, it was quite disappointing. M: You didn't like the speeches? W: Yes, I did. In fact, I enjoyed listening to most of the speeches. But I just couldn't accept the result, you know. M: Hmm, you mean the judges? W: I mean most of the listeners including me didn't understand why the judges didn't like Samantha. It was such a shock when they announced the winner was Jim. We all thought Samantha's pronunciation was the best. M: You're probably right. But don't you think the speech itself is more important? As I see it, Jim's speech was more meaningful. I was deeply moved by the story he told us. W: But, in my opinion, we also learned something very important from Samantha's speech. M: That's right. Samantha and Jim were indeed very close. I guess it was difficult for the judges. W: Well, I wish I could agree with you. But I do think Samantha was the best. What was said before this conversation?
