Problem: M: Not too bad. But I'm sure I made some mistakes in the science paper and maths paper. W: Me, too. The science paper was not easy this time, was it? M: It seems that our new science teacher likes to give us tough exams. W: I have the same feeling. He looks only 25 or so. M: Maybe he hopes to make us pay more attention to his lessons in this way. W: Really? M: Well. I'm only joking. What was said before this conversation?

Problem: M: Yes. I'm looking for information on courses in computer programming. I would need it for the fall semester. W: Do you want a day or evening course? M: Well, it would have to be an evening course since I work during the day. W: Aha. Have you taken any courses in data processing? M: No. W: Oh! Well, data processing is a course you have to take before you can take computer programming. M: Oh, I see. Well, when is it given? I hope it is not on Thursdays. W: Well, there's a class that meets on Monday evenings at 7. M: Just once a week? W: Yes. But that's almost 3 hours from 7 to 9:45. M: Oh! Well, that's alright. I could manage that. How many weeks does the course last? W: Mm, let me see. 12 weeks. You start the first week in September, and finish, oh, just before Christmas. December 21st. M: And how much is the course? W: That's 300 dollars including the necessary computer time. M: Ah-hum. Okay. Eh, where do I go to register? W: Registration is on the second and third of September between 6 and 9 in Frost Hall. M: Is that the round building behind the parking lot? W: Yes, that's the one. M: Oh, I know how to get there. Is there anything that I should bring with me? W: No, just your checkbook. M: Well, thank you very much. W: You're very welcome. Bye! M: Bye! What was said before this conversation?
