Question: W: There you are. I'm getting worried. It's so late. M: Yes. I ran into Linda and we went to a pub. She told me a funny thing. W: Oh? What was that? M: Well, she was driving home after work, and she suddenly saw an old lady on her hands and knees in the middle of the road. W: Really? M: Yes, Linda was so shocked that she stopped suddenly and the car behind crashed into hers. W: Was her hurt? M: No. W: And what was the old lady doing? M: I am just coming to that. So Linda got out of her car and saw the old lady pick up something and walk away. W: Lucky indeed. Linda didn't run her over. M: Then a policeman came. But he didn't believe what Linda said. W: Well... M: Luckily there was a witness, a man waiting for a bus. He saw it all. Guess what the old lady was doing? W: I haven't the slightest idea. M: She was looking for her gold tooth. W: A gold tooth? M: Yes, it fell out as she was crossing the road. The witness heard her saying, "Oh, my gold tooth..." What was said before this conversation?

Question: M: I'd be glad to tell you what I think. W: If you don't think it's any good, please say so. I really want to get this job. M: It looks fine to me. But I have one suggestion. W: What is it? M: If I were you, I'd change the beginning. You should write about your education first. W: Good idea, Jack. What do you think about the second part? M: Well, I'm afraid it's too short. You should include much more information about your work experience. W: You're right. I'll change it. What was said before this conversation?

Question: W: Our store will open two weeks before Christmas. M: I guess we should announce ourselves soon. Tell people we're coming. Put up a big sign. W: Sure. The minute they see the sign, they will be lining up. M: To show their anger. W: Yeah. They are lining up not to buy things but to show their anger. Because some people think chain stores all look the same. M: They'll hate us in the beginning. But we'll get them in the end. What was said before this conversation?
