Question: M: I know. I'm just finishing it now. W: He wanted to know if we'd done them together. I said no. What's yours on? It took me ages to do mine. M: Well, I was really lucky. I found this book all about the population in New Zealand cities. W: Is it good? M: Yes, it's a great book! I photocopied three chapters. There are some brilliant charts and... W: What are you going to do with all that? M: Well, now I'm going to copy these pages and these charts and then I'll finish my project! W: You're not supposed to just copy the book. M: Oh! I think Mr. Harper won't know. W: He will know! He asked us to write a list of all the books we'd used. Remember? That's not the point anyway. M: What is the point then? W: Well, the point is that you're supposed to write your own project--you can't copy someone else's writing. M: Er... er... Well, you're right. Thank you for your reminding me of that. What was said before this conversation?
Answer: W: Hi, David! Mr. Harper has just asked me if you'd finished your project yet. It was supposed to be handed in yesterday.

Question: W: Yeah. My grandpa gave it to me as a graduation gift. Isn't it nice? M: It is. I can't believe it's so thin! What kind of computer is it? W: It's an Apple MacBook Air. It's very lightweight and has a bunch of built-in apps. I couldn't be happier with it. M: Do they have any other colors besides that one? W: I don't know. I like this color. I've ordered a pink cover for it, but it won't arrive for a couple of weeks. M: Does the computer have a disk drive? W: No, it doesn't, but I don't need one. All of my documents are online. M: Well, you're very lucky. It will be great to have this when you start looking for jobs. W: I already have. Today, I spent the day at the cafe working on my resume. This computer has great battery life. M: Well, that's good. But the cafe near here is always so crowded. W: I know. But I like to work in busy cafes. The noise reminds me that everyone else is working hard, so I work hard, too. What was said before this conversation?
Answer: M: Is that a new computer?

Question: W: But you should always have something. According to nutrition experts, it's the most important meal of the day. M: That's a load of rubbish, if you ask me. It's all very well for them. They've probably got time for it. I haven't. Anyway, when I get to work, I'm plunged into the usual stressful day, and my hunger just sort of evaporates. W: Yes. I only live around the corner, but I often skip breakfast myself, but I suppose you could always make up for it at the lunch time. M: I should, but more often than not I just grab a cup of coffee and a few biscuits, or a sandwich. W: There's nothing wrong with that. That's all I ever have when I'm busy. M: Fine, but what happens as the day wears on is that the less you eat, the less you want to eat. Abstinence seems to suppress the appetite, somehow. W: Well, I suspect what we ought to be doing is establishing a regular pattern of eating, instead of just grabbing what we can when we can. M: Em, a sensible conventional diet. There's no doubt that's the way to go, so shall we now go and do something for a change? You name the restaurant and I'll treat you to lunch. W: That will be nice. What was said before this conversation?
Answer:
M: It's a vicious circle, really. It takes me the best part of an hour to get here in the morning, so I honestly never have time for breakfast.
