[Q]: W: Okay, sure. M: Great, thank you very much. First of all, do you own a personal computer? W: Of course! Doesn't everyone? M: How long have you owned it? W: I bought this particular computer last year. But I got my first PC in 1995. M: I see. And what do you primarily use your computer for? W: Well, I use it to send e-mails a lot, and... um, I have a teach-yourself French program. And I shop online pretty often. M: Mmm. Any other uses? W: Keeping track of my bank account, and there are a couple of computer games I enjoy. M: Now you've mentioned e-mail and online shopping. Do you use the Internet for any other purposes? W: Not really. I haven't got around to explore it too much. M: Okay, thanks. Sorry to have given you so much trouble. Thanks again. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: M: Good afternoon, madam. I'm doing some market research and I'm hoping you might have a few minutes to answer some questions.

[Q]: W: Hi, Mr. Robison, Thanks. My name's Lisa Jones, working in sales now. M: Please call me Tom, Lisa. W: OK, Tom. Have you worked here long? M: Yes, over 20 years. W: Wow that is a long time. Do you enjoy working here? M: Well, yes. I suppose I took the job because err well the money is good, and it's good place to work in, but to be honest, what I re?ally enjoy is the chance to go abroad, just visiting other countries. That's the best thing. W: That's nice, for me the best thing about working here is that I live close to the office, I can go home for lunch, and I don't have to worry about the traffic.
