Answer: M: How many people are expected to visit this special exhibition?
Q: W: Yes, I have. I saw her a couple of days ago. She hasn't been very well in the last couple of weeks. M: Has she seen a doctor since she's been ill? W: Yes, she has. The doctor told her to take it easy for a while, but she hasn't been taking his advice. She's as busy as usual. M: Do you think it useful for me to ask her to have a rest when I go to see her? Or shall we go together? W: I think you can go yourself and show your concern to her since she sometimes would take your advice. So it's unnecessary for me to go with you. What's more, I've got some other things to do at the moment. What was said before this conversation?
A: M: Have you seen Kate recently, Vicky?
Question: M: Yes. They made him retire after 50 years at sea. He is pretty upset about it, but what can you do? He really is pasted. W: He is all alone, isn't he? M: Yes, his wife has been dead for years. They had one daughter, Dories. But she went off to town as soon as she left school. And he hasn't heard from her since. I hear she is making good money as a model. W: Maybe someone could get in touch with her. Get her to come back for a while to help? M: I don't suppose she come. She never got on with her father. He is bit of a tough character and she is rather selfish. Oh, I expect old Jake will get by. He is healthy at least, comes into a clinic for a check regularly. W: Are you his doctor? M: No, my partner doctor Johnson is. W: That bad-tempered old thing? M: Oh, he isn't really bad-tempered. He just looks it. He is an excellent doctor, taught me a lot, and he has a very nice family. His wife invites me over there to supper every week. Very pleasant. W: Yes. I teach their daughter Pen at school. She is a bit careless and lazy about her school work, but a bright little thing and very popular with her age group. What was said before this conversation?

W: I'm still teaching at the university, but I moved from the German Department to the Spanish Department. Well,how is your family? Are the children all in school now? M: No, Billy is still at home. Tom is in the third grade and Jane's in the second. W: Our two children haven't started school yet, either. But they will go in the fall. What was said before this conversation?
