Problem: W: I think so, but I hope she won't miss the next one. Otherwise, she should be late for the opening address of the conference. What was said before this conversation?

A: M: Where is Joan? She said she would be here at three. And now it's three-thirty. She must have missed the train.
Problem: Given the question: M: Oh, thanks, but I am not in the band any more. In fact I'm not in the group at all right now. W: That's too bad. You're such an amateur musician. Why did you leave the group? M: I just couldn't be a full-time student and still practice with the band every night. I also missed a couple of performances during my midterm exams. And I thought I'd better quit before the band leader fired me. W: Hey, you know my friend Charlie, don't you? He plays the piano. He and some of his friends are getting a band together. And they need a good singer. M: I wouldn't have time for that either. W: Oh, I don't think they'll practise very often. Charlie and his friends are all students, too. I'll give you his number and you can get in touch with him. What was said before this conversation?

M: But, Jane, why not rent one with Handbag Hire? Instead of $ 990,pay $ 50,and you have it for a whole week. W: Sounds great, but I never knew I can rent a handbag. M: Handbag Hire is a new business. It was founded two months ago. Its collection covers many designer handbags. W: So... for the price of one Murrberry, I can use a different bag each week for twenty weeks? M: Absolutely. And if you like one of them, you can choose to buy it at a discounted rate. Of course the price varies by age and condition. For example, a $ 1500 Murrberry bag can sell for just $750. W: Great, but how do I rent? By telephone? Or in person? M: Either. And more conveniently, it accepts online orders. W: I'll do it on line now. I still have one more question. Mary's wedding is next Saturday. There are only five days left. Do I have enough time? M: Don't worry. It promises that customers receive their orders by post within two days. Three more days to go. W: Oh, I'd better order one right now. What was said before this conversation?
