output answer: W: Your exam is over, isn't it? Why aren't you cheerful?
M: I'm sure there's a lot to do. W: There is! We've been for a walk in Central Park. It's so big! Everything here is big. And we've climbed the Empire State Building. The view was fantastic. We haven't been to Greenwich Village yet, and we haven't been to Chinatown, either. We're going to do that tomorrow. M: Have you seen the Statue of Liberty yet? W: Oh, yes, we have. We've just had a helicopter out of the city, and we flew really close to it. M: What about a show? Have you seen a show on Broadway yet? W: No, we haven't. We're going to see one on our last night here, but we haven't decided what to see yet. What was said before this conversation?

Answer: W: We're having a lovely time,Dad.
Q: M: Yes, but I'm not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Couldyou tell us something about that? W: Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant, but steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity. So it's still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain's machine tools are from the Basque Country. As for paper processing, there's still a little. But it's no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear? M: Yes, thanks. W: Now, to get back to what I was saying, there's a lot of unemployment as wellas geographical problems in the region. M: Sorry, Victoria. What do you mean by geographical problems? W: Well, what I mean is the area is very hilly, mountainous in parts. So there used to be transport problems, now though there are new train links and betterroads, but it may be that some smaller towns inland remain not very well connected, is that OK? Does that make sense? When we talk about specific location suggestions for the factory, we'll see this in more detail, so we'll come back to this question, OK? M: OK, right. W: So I was about to say something about the work force in the region and thelevel of training and education. In general, it's very good and improving. What was said before this conversation?
A: W: Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think.
Question: M: Not exactly, married to a woman who overdoes it. I mean, after all when you've been mar-tied ten years, you don't expect a woman to sit on your lap for two hours every evening, call you at work twelve times a day and talk baby talk. What was said before this conversation?
Answer: W: Poor Smith, your marriage hasn't exactly been roses, has it?
Please answer this: Ronald: Yes, I'd like to make an appointment to see Dr. Carter, please. Receptionist: Is this your first visit? Ronald: Yes it is. Receptionist: Okay. Could I have your name please? Ronald: Yes. My name is Ronald Schuller. Receptionist: And may I ask who referred you to our office? Ronald: Uh, I drove past your office yesterday. Receptionist: Okay. How about the day after tomorrow on Wednesday at 4:00 O'clock? Ronald: Uh. Do you happen to have an opening in the morning? I usually pick up my kids from school around that time. Receptionist: Okay. Um ... how about Tuesday at 8:00 A.M. or Thursday at 8:15 A.M.? Ronald: Uh, do you have anything earlier, like 7:30? Receptionist: No. I'm sorry. Ronald: Well, in that case, Thursday would be fine. Receptionist: Okay. Could I have your phone number please? Ronald: It's 643-0547. Receptionist: Alright. And what's the nature of your visit? Ronald: Uh ... Receptionist: Yes sir. Ronald: Well, to tell the truth, I fell from a ladder two days ago while painting my house, and I sprained my ankle when my foot landed in a paint can. I suffered a few scratches on my hands and knees, but I'm most concerned that the swelling in my ankle hasn't gone down yet. Receptionist: Well, did you put ice on it immediately after this happened? Ronald: Well yeah. I just filled the paint can with ice and ... Receptionist: And so after you removed the paint can ... Sir, sir, Mr. Schuller, are you still there? Ronald: Well that's part of the problem. Uh, the paint can is still on my foot. Receptionist: Look, Mr. Schuller. Please come in today. I don't think your case can wait.
