Question: M: Well, Double the Fun is a party bus where you and up to 50 friends can hold celebrations. All buses have fridges for cold drinks, disco-quality sound, an amazing light show and comfortable leather seats. What we don't have is cooking equipment. All buses also have a bus host, whose job is to make sure all the guests get back on the bus after each stop. W: After each stop? So guests don't spend the whole evening driving around on the bus? M: No! In fact, we take them to 4 different clubs during the evening. At each club, we've booked special VIP entrance, which means no waiting to get in, and everyone gets a free drink. W: Anything else our listeners should know about the parties? M: Yes, all guests must be smartly dressed. No jeans or sports shoes. The only exception would be if they want to have a fancy-dress party. And we need to know the time you book if you are planning a fancy-dress party. Clubs like to know in advance when parties will be arriving. W: Thanks, Dennis. What was said before this conversation?
Answer: W: On today's show we have Dennis Dean, owner of Double the Fun bus parties. Hi, Dennis. Can you tell us what you do?
[Q]: W: Okay, sure. M: Great, thank you very much. First of all, do you own a personal computer? W: Of course! Doesn't everyone? M: How long have you owned it? W: I bought this particular computer last year. But I got my first PC in 1995. M: I see. And what do you primarily use your computer for? W: Well, I use it to send e-mails a lot, and... um, I have a teach-yourself French program. And I shop online pretty often. M: Mmm. Any other uses? W: Keeping track of my bank account, and there are a couple of computer games I enjoy. M: Now you've mentioned e-mail and online shopping. Do you use the Internet for any other purposes? W: Not really. I haven't got around to explore it too much. M: Okay, thanks. Sorry to have given you so much trouble. Thanks again. What was said before this conversation?

output: W: I ran into Sally the other day. I could hardly recognize her. Do you remember her from high school?
Please answer this: W: Hello! Glad to meet you. M: Tell me something about yourself, please. W: My name is Wan Mei and I live in Guangzhou. I was born in 1987. I am a student of Jinan University. I have majored in Public Administration, I like travelling very much and enjoy sports. I am in the tennis club at my university. M: Your application form says you were out of school for half a year during high school. What was the reason? Were you ill? W: Oh. No. My father's job took him to America for six months then, and he decided to take the whole family along. M: So during that time you went to high school in the United States? W: Yes, it was just for a few months. I attended Johnson High School in Chicago. M: Tell me why you are interested in working for this company, will you? W: I think working in this company would give me the best opportunity to use what I've learned at college, studying public administration for four years. I think this company has a great future. So for a long time I've been thinking I'd like to work for this company. M: Have you ever worked during your university days? W: Yes. I worked as a teacher to teach English to a middle school student. M: There's a good chance for you to come to work for this company. Thank you for coming. Good bye! W: Good bye!
