Question: W: Park Street? It isn't far from here. Just keep walking up this street. Turn left at the first corner, go straight ahead and turn left again and in front of you is the Park Street. M: Thank you. I'm looking for a bank. W: There are lots of banks on Park Street. Do you want to change your money? M: Yes. Which bank do you suggest? W: You could try the New City Bank. It's next to the big church. M: And is there a post office near here? W: Yes. See that big new shopping center? There is one on the first floor. M: Oh, thank you very much. W: You are welcome.

[Q]: W: Sorry, but I usually go to the cafeteria and review them. Why not copy them in the library? M: OK. W: Here you are. M: You are a great help, Maggie. W: I don't quite understand a why you need my notes, Mark? You haven't missed any classes. M: To be honest, I work in supermarket from 7 to 10 o'clock every evening. W: I see. So you're pretty tired when you come to class. M: That's exactly why I want to borrow your notes. My notes aren't very good. W: So what do you usually do in class? M: I'm always awake at the beginning, but thirty minutes after class begins I feel sleepy and have trouble keeping my eyes open. W: Well, I need someone to study with and you need someone to keep you awake. Can we be study partners? M: Oh sure. That's a good idea. So give me a push when you see me sleeping in class. W: OK. Let's start today in the library. We are going there anyway and I don't have to go to the cafeteria. M: Sounds good. What was said before this conversation?

input: Please answer the following: M: By how much? W: It looks to me as if it's getting on for almost 400 pounds. M: Oh, does that mean we won't be able to get our holiday? W: I honestly don't think that we could afford to go really. M: But we haven't had a holiday for three years! Just because we can't afford it. W: That's true. M: I was really looking forward to this holiday... three weeks in Barbados at Christmas-warmth, sea, sunshine. W: I know. So was I. M: Can't we ask your mother for the money? Can't we borrow the money from somewhere for the holiday? W: Well, You know we're still in debt over the car. And we've always said we wouldn't borrow money for things that weren't absolutely essential. A holiday isn't essential. M: I really feel it is this time. W: Well, let's look at cheaper holidays then. Let's look at somewhere closer to home, right. Let's look at Europe. M: Well, there's no point in going to Europe at Christmas, is there? W: Well, you said you wanted to get away from the cold here. Well, you only want to go where it's hot and sunny? M: Yes, I want some warmth. W: Oh, I think we ought to borrow the money from your mother. M: I don't want to talk about it anymore. Let's discuss it some other time. What was said before this conversation?

W: Usually at least once a week, but he's now a volunteer teacher at a mountain village. I can only write to him. M: The mail can be really slow sometimes. I'm sure you'll hear from him soon.
