M: It's... it's my leg, doctor. My right leg. I keep getting a strange pain in it. W: Could you tell me what the pain is like? M: It's like... like boiling water running down my leg. It's been getting worse lately, too. I've been losing sleep. W: You mean the pain's been keeping you awake? M: Yes, that's right. It's been keeping me awake. W: Now, tell me, how long have you had this trouble? M: The pain? For about a year now. W: Hmm... Have you been getting tired lately after you have had a walk? For example, have you been getting a big short of breath, perhaps? M: Why, yes! Yes, I have, doctor! W: Hmm... I think we'd better give you a few tests here in the hospital. M: Do you think it's serious,doctor? W: Probably not. M: But... Doctor Cook, my local doctor, thinks it's only that I've been working too hard lately. W: That could be the reason. Don't worry, we'll find out soon. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: W: Now,Mr. Martin. I've just read your own doctor's report. So you haven't been feeling very well lately, is that right?

W: This is the last time I'm waiting for you. I mean it. M: You know, I always have a good excuse. I promise you: you'll never have to wait for me again. W: I hope so. Come on, let's go get our tickets now. Oh, by the way, you have got your wallet with you, don't you? I left mine at home. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: M: Don't be mad at me. I'm only five minutes late.

Caller: Yes. I'm calling to find out more information about your program. For example, what kind of courses do you offer? Receptionist: Well, first of all, the purpose of our program is to provide language learning opportunities to this area's community [Uh-hum], whether a student's goal is to master basic functional language skills, let's say, for his or her job, or to study intensively to enter a US college or university. Caller: Okay. I'm calling for a friend who is interested in attending a US university. Receptionist: And that's the kind of, uh, instruction that we provide, from basic communication courses to content-based classes such as computer literacy, intercultural communication, and business English. Caller: Great. What are your application deadlines for the next semester? Receptionist: Well, we ask applicants to apply no later than two months before the semester begins. [Uh-hum] This gives us time to process the application and issue the student's I-20. Caller: An I-20? Receptionist: Oh, an I-20 is a form that indicates that we are giving permission for the student to study in our program, and then the student takes this form to the US embassy in his or her country to apply for the F-1 student visa. Caller: Alright. What is the tuition for a full-time student? Receptionist: It's two thousand thirty dollars. Caller: And how does one apply? Receptionist: Well, we can send you an application and you can mail it back to us, or you can fill out our application that's online at our Web site. Caller: And are there other materials I would need to send in addition to the application form? Receptionist: Uh, yes. You would need to send in a $35 non-refundable application fee [Uh-huh], a sponsorship form indicating who will be responsible financially for the student while studying in our program, and a bank statement showing that you or your sponsor has sufficient funds to cover tuition expenses and living costs for the entire year of study. Caller: And how can I send these materials to... What was said before this conversation?
Ans: Receptionist: English Language Center. How may I help you?
