[Q]: M: Ah, not so great. W: What's wrong? M: I've got a big problem with the Shakespeare course which is required for my major. W: Is that all filled up? M: No, there's plenty of room, but I have to take the starter course before I can take Professor Miller's Shakespeare course. It is only offered in the evening. W: You don't like evening classes? M: That's not the point. I work in the cafe every evening. I need the money to pay my tuition. W: You can ask someone that could switch hours with you. Maybe just switch a couple of evenings since the course probably only meets two times a week. M: I wish I could. My boss just did me a favor by putting me on evenings. And he'll hit the ceiling if I ask to change again. W: Wait a minute. I have an idea. Have you checked the course over at the community college? They might offer an introductory course during the day. M: That's a great idea. I'm free this afternoon. I'll go over and check it out. W: Their courses are actually cheaper. M: Thanks for your advice. I'll let you know what happens. W: Sure. Good luck! What was said before this conversation?

Answer: M: Are you looking forward to going home for the summer vacation?
Problem: M: So, next time before you walk into a theatre, make sure what you are going to see. What was said before this conversation?

A: W: I still can't get over the show last Saturday evening. I keep having frightening dreams all night.
Problem: Given the question: W: By saving water. M: Well, how can we do that? W: By not using too much water when we wash dishes, take a bath, and when we do other things like watering the plants outside. M: Oh, what else? W: When drinking or eating something outside, you should keep the garbage until you rind a garbage can to put it in. Because throwing rubbish carelessly makes our planet dirty, Do you like seeing rubbish all over the ground? M: No, I don't. Do you have any other suggestions? W: Yes, we shouldn't waste paper, because trees are being cut down to make paper. By saving paper, we save the forests where animals live. M: So how can children save paper? I mean everyday. W: Well, for example, when I was in kindergarten, I used to save newspapers so that I could fold things out of them like paper trees instead of just throwing them away. Now the children in our neighborhood collect newspapers once a month to take them to a factory as raw material. M: That's great. Well, thanks Catherine for your ideas.
