[Q]: W: I'm afraid so. I'm too old. M: But you are only twenty-two! W: That's too old for a gymnast. If I played in an international championship now, I couldn't win. So I'd rather not do it at all. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: M: Is it true that you don't do gymnastics at all now?

[Q]: W: Well, that's a difficult question, but I can think of a few. People here dress quite differently, because the weather is warmer here. We wear winter clothes half the year-thick trousers and warm sweaters. Here, people dress more fashionably. Everyone looks very well dressed. M: Is clothing expensive in your country? W: Yes, it's more expensive than here. M: Do you find it easy to talk to people here? Can you make friends easily? W: Oh, yes. It's easy to meet people here, even if we speak different languages. People are the same everywhere. They worry about the same things. They worry about the cost of living and about the future of their children. M: Yes, you are dead right.

[A]: M: Have you noticed a lot of differences between your country and ours?

[Q]: W: Likewise. I remember the last time we wet was 5 months ago at Mike's birthday party. How are you doing? What was said before this conversation?

[A]: M: Hi, Jane. So glad to see you again.

[Q]: M: Good morning. My name is Orwell. I've got a reservation, a single room with a shower. W: Ah, yes, Dr. Orwell. Would you fill in this form, please? M: Yes, of course. W: Oh, excuse me. I catch a cold. You're a doctor. You can give me something for it. M: Give you something for it, for your cold, you mean. I am not that kind of doctor. W: Oh, aren't you? M: No, I am a psychologist. W: Ah, you are a psychologist. Oh I see. M: Is that all right? W: Yes. Would you like a newspaper in the morning? M: Yes. The Times. W: OK, Sir. Your room is 523, and how long would you stay? M: Four days. I'll be checking out Saturday morning. W: And how would you pay? M: By credit card. Would you like to see it? W: Yes, please, and here is your key, Sir.
