Q: M: Of course. What do you want me to do? W: Could you hold these packages while I look for the key to the door? M: I'd be glad to. What's in these packages? They're extremely heavy. W: Just the things we need for the picnic tomorrow. M: Well, hurry up and open the door. I told you these things were very heavy. W: I can't find the key. You must have it. M: You're right, but how can I get the key while I'm holding all these packages? What was said before this conversation?

Question: W: Randy? Randy Betford? Oh, my goodness, you look exactly the same! Even your hair is the same... curls everywhere! M: Well, you look... a lot different... But I mean that in a good way. W: Well, I got tired of that blond hair, so I decided to become a redhead, and I've never looked back! I also lost a lot of weight, and I'm really trying hard to keep it off. I don't wanna look like I did in high school ever again! M: So, do you live here? What do you do? W: I'm a lawyer in Brookfield, the next town over. I just come out here on weekends to do my shopping. What about you? M: I sell insurance, but I'm actually working in Springfield. We're looking to open a new office here in Ovington, so that's why I'm out here. W: Do you like your job? M: Well, I guess I make a nice living, but it's really boring work. I wish I could just change careers. W: I agree. I actually have the opposite problem. I work for an environmental law firm, so the work is exciting, and I feel like I'm really making a difference. The only problem is that the pay is quite low, so I'm basically living hand to mouth every month. M: That sounds like a fair trade, though. I'd switch places with you in a second. Say, would you like to have dinner with me tonight? I know a great seafood place. W: That would be fantastic! What was said before this conversation?

Please answer this: M: OK. Will the lessons be for yourself or your son? W: I want to learn. My son is only three. M: Fine. Have you had any musical experience before? W: Well, I studied the piano for about three months but that was 6 years ago. M: That's good. So we needn't start right from the beginning again. W: When can I take lessons and how much do they cost? M: Well, that depends on you. We have a small group that meets on Monday and Wednesday evenings for two hours, that costs $4 an hour. Then on Tuesdays and Thursdays I give private lessons which cost $8 an hour. W: I'm afraid that I can't make it on Mondays but I can come on Wednesdays. What was said before this conversation?

Question: W: Me neither. I give up or I will die. M: I've never seen such hot weather in my life. W: I can't agree more. It's like the whole world is boiling. M: Look. the temperature has hit 98! W: I can't believe it. We used to have such nice weather here all year round. M: Yes. How I miss the good old days. Just cool or warm days. W: So, what to do now? M: I guess we can't do anything until the sun sets down. W: You are right. I'm sweating all over. M: Let's go back home and take a shower. W: Yes. We might cool down in this way.
