Problem: 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?

A: M: Good afternoon, madam. I'm doing some market research and I'm hoping you might have a few minutes to answer some questions.
Problem: Given the question: W: Nope. My foot is broken. I stay at home. So I did it myself. M: With a broken foot? Was that a good idea? W: Don't worry, Dave. M: You could have called Brenda. She would have done it for you. W: I'm not asking your little sister to clean my floors, Dave. Anyway, it wasn't as hard as you think. I have been using a Roomba recently. M: Oh, that cleaning robot? I'm jealous, Sandra. I wanted one, but I didn't have 500 extra dollars. W: I know. They're so expensive. I got mine from my boss when I was Employee of the Year two years ago.

Q: M: Take it easy. I'm sure you will do well if you take it easy and remain calm. W: Is it all right if I use dictionaries? M: You are not allowed to use them. I think. W: Do you think I could discuss the questions with others during the exam? M: I'm afraid that's impossible. Teachers would not allow that to happen. W: May I bring some paper to write drafts?
