Terry: Yes. Frank: It must be an exciting trip. Terry: Well, I've really seen lots of things. I saw the most spectacular view when I was crossing a bridge to Manhattan at dusk, and the skyscrapers were lit up producing a classic nighttime view of Manhattan. Frank: That's really beautiful. Terry: But that's not the whole picture. Some of the streets in New York are very rough. I saw large piles of garbage cans at the roadside, and graffiti all over garage doors and store shutters. Frank: I can't believe it. Terry: The garbage are tidily bagged and boxed, though. Frank: Did you stay in a hotel? Terry: Yes. The hotel we stayed at turned out to be fairly decent, though the room was small, with a tiny bathroom that was only about 3 feet larger than the bed. As I was inexperienced with tourist-area hotels, I was startled, I mean, the room was $129 a night. But at least the room was clean and the bed reasonably comfortable. Frank: What's your general impression of New York? Terry: Well, restaurants pack their tiny tables very tightly; grocery stores and bookstores have aisles that are narrow; the sidewalks are cluttered with newsstands, vendors and their carts, and places that aren't restrictively small, such as the lawns around the Natural History Museum, are full of people, so they're no escape.

Answer: Frank: Hi, Terry, you're just back from New York.

M: Oh, yes. I was standing outside the bank building and I saw it all quite clearly. W: Do you know what time it was? M: Yes. I checked my watch. It was 2:45 exactly. W: Good. Now, how fast was the truck moving? M: Well, quite slowly-about 10 miles an hour. It was coming up York Road. I suppose the truck driver knew the lights were going to change. But they were still red when he went over them. W: I see. What about the car? Was it also driving slowly? M: It was coming along Union Street about 30 miles per hour. It was a blue Ford. The driver stopped his car when he saw the truck crossing the street. W: Did you see what colour his traffic light was? M: Yes, it changed to yellow just before he crossed it.

Answer: W: Now, Jimmy, did you get a good view of the accident?

W: Sure. What are you handing these out for? M: Well, we're trying to gather some volunteers for the day care center. W: Uh... M: It's OK. You don't have to volunteer if you eat the candies. W: I'm just playing around. Actually, I have some free time in the mornings after I go jogging. What exactly do you need? M: It's wide open right now, everything from playground assistants to diaper changers. W: Oh, I might pass on the latter. But spending some time on the playground with some small kids might be fun. M: Well, you're quite warm-hearted. I haven't even mentioned the benefits but you're volunteering. W: Oh, well, what are the benefits? M: Well, since you said you'd be likely to take a morning shift, there would be a free breakfast personally prepared by the cook. W: Great! What was said before this conversation?
