W: Yes, I do. Her name is Alice. M: Where is she? W: In England. But we don't often write to each other because neither of us has much time. We both have a lot of work to do. M: Do you know what your pen pal's hobbies are? W: Yes. She enjoys listening to music. Among school subjects, she likes math best. M: Are you going to write to her soon? W: I'm not sure.

A: M: How much is the note book?
Question: W: We decided to start walking to school for the exercise. We want to get fit. Why would we want to eat a fattening breakfast sandwich? M: McDonald's has an egg muffin sandwich that has only 320 calories. What's wrong with that? I bet we walked off 320 calories already. After two more miles, we can probably walk off another 100 calories. W: I do need energy. I hardly ate dinner last night. My mom made leg of lamb, and it's definitely not my favorite. In fact, I think I'm going to become a vegetarian. M: Good for you! I gave up meat a long time ago. Now, almost all of my meals are salads. Funny thing is, when I make my food, I also make food for my rabbit. We mostly eat the same things now. W: My bird eats seeds and berries. We could probably share our meals, too!

Answer: M: Two more miles to go...we have an hour before school starts. Let's take our time. Do you want to stop and get a breakfast sandwich?
[Q]: W: Thank you. M: I'm Paul Turner. Branch Manager. W: Katie Thomas, nice to meet you. M: I hear that you're looking for temporary office work. W: That's right. M: How old are you, Katie? W: Eighteen. M: That's rather young. What experience have you had? W: Well, I've just left school, in fact, and I'm looking for a job between now and when I go to college. M: It doesn't sound as if we can help, Katie. You see, our clients are very demanding, especially when it comes to new office technology. W: Oh, that's no problem. I took extra classes in office skills at school. M: Oh, perhaps you'd like to outline what you've been doing? W: I started by learning keyboard skills. Then I went in to learn about word processing. M: Good. You seem qualified from the technical point of view. But how well do you think you'll get along with people in an office? W: I think I'm quite adaptable. I belonged to the drama society, as well as working on the school magazine. And I played a bit of sports. So I'm used to working as part of a team. M: Sounds good. Let's see... There's a request from Johnson's Imports for "a bright youngster..." . What was said before this conversation?
