M: Good morning, everyone. W: Robin, can you tell us what the mountain lake cycle tour is all about? M: Well, Ann, the tour today is not a race. People do it for fitness and fun andtry to better their time every year. W: How long will it take to cycle one way, Robin? M: About seven to nine hours for the average cyclists. Good cyclists can do it in four hours. W: How many people will be taking part this year? M: This is our biggest year ever. We have twelve hundred cyclists registered. W: I doubt they'll block the road when the cyclists start out? M: Don't worry, we've introduced the staggered starts to avoid these problems. Our first group will leave Ottawa at seven o'clock. W: Thank you, Robin. Now down to the starting line of the university. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: W: Good morning, this is Ann broadcasting from university radio and in the studio we have Robin, president of the Martha Bicycle Club with us.

W: Yes. Come this way,please. This is the bedroom. M: Maybe it is a bit small. May I see the kitchen? W: Sure, it is completely modern. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: M: Would it be convenient to see the apartment now?

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?
Ans: W: We've overspent dreadfully this month.

W: We can take care of that. We can simply remove the furniture. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: M: I'm looking for an unfurnished two-bedroom apartment, but all your apartments are furnished.
