W: I came back from Australia. Now I've opened a company. I heard from Miss Sue that you are getting married. Congratulations! M: Thank you! W: Why did you keep so quiet about it? M: I'm sorry. I mean to tell you. But I couldn't find you by your previous address. W: When will the wedding be? M: January 1st. W: I want to give you a present. What would you like? M: Let me see. Oh, a bunch of flowers will do. W: I see. Bye. M: Bye. What was said before this conversation?

Answer: M: Clara! How are you? I haven't heard from you for at least three years. What are you doing?
Q: M: I think you've made a mistake. This isn't what I ordered. I asked for the red jacket, not the blue one! What was said before this conversation?
A: W: Yes, is there something wrong?
Question: M: No, thank you. But we have a small problem. Can you help us? W: Sure. What can I do for you? M: We are looking for a hotel. Are there any hotels near here? W: Yes, there are some hotels in the street. The nearest one is next to the bank. It's quite modern. M: Do you think there're any inexpensive ones nearby? We're leaving tomorrow morning. W: Yes. Drive west for about two minutes and you will find a grey building on the right side. It's a traditional family style hotel, very comfortable, and the price is quite reasonable. M: It sounds nice. Thank you very much for your help. W: That's all right. What was said before this conversation?
Answer: W: Good evening, sir, madam. A table for two?
[Q]: M: Yes, I'm really proud of it. I have thousands of stamps from most countries of the world. W: Wow, that's great. How did you get all of them? M: Sometimes I took used stamps off envelopes, but mostly my dad brought them back from his travels. Some of the stamps in my collection are of great value. Drop over sometime and I'll show you my collection. W: Thanks, I will. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: W: James, you have a large collection of stamps, haven't you?
input: Please answer the following: M: Actually I was a bit confused because I thought you were majoring in maths. W: That's right, I am. I'm doing four months courses this year. Music is an optional course - you just choose it if you're interested. Why? Are you thinking about doing it? M: Well, I'm not sure. What are the requirements? W: Well, for a start, it's distance learning - you don't actually have to be at the university to do it. M: I'm more worried about the actual musical things. Like, I don't know how to read music. W: That doesn't matter. You'll learn as you go along. What about computer skills? You're OK there? M: Yes, of course. Does that matter? W: Yes, I'd say they're necessary. Like I said, it's all distance learning, so it's computer-based. What was said before this conversation?

output: W: You said you wanted to talk to me about that course I'm doing this term. Music?
M: Richard and Marilyn bought it for me for my birthday. W: They are so kind. You are very lucky, Robbie, to have such a nice family. M: Is something wrong, Alexandra? W: No, nothing. M: Yes, there is. I can tell. What's the matter? Come on, you can tell me. What's up? W: I received a letter from my parents this morning. I miss them very much. The Molinas treat me so nicely and I like being with your family so much...but when I received the letter with photographs of my family, I cried. M: You really miss your family,don't you? W: Yes, I know I must seem silly. It's not like I have nobody. I like the Molinas very much, and they're so kind to me. M: Hey, why don't we go out for a hamburger and French fries? That'll cheer you up. And you can use my walkman. W: That's a good idea. But if you go out, please don't complain about your math teacher or your math homework, I want to have fun.
