Answer: W: Do you need some help, sir?
Q: M: Well, it's a bit difficult. There are thousands of overseas students here, you know. W: Would it be better to stay in a hotel, to share a flat, or to stay with a family? M: It would probably be better to stay with a family to begin with, Carla. W: You wouldn't recommend sharing a flat? M: No, I wouldn't move into a flat if I were you. You won't get much studying done in a flat. You'll spend half your time cooking and cleaning! W: How can I find out about families who take in students? M: There's a list at the student union building, on campus. The people at the student union should be able to help you find a family to stay with. What was said before this conversation?

Problem: Given the question: W: I can't believe this is happening. I called and ordered a 32-inch bag last Friday. But today I found that you sent a 24-inch one. I'm planning to use that bag during our vacation in Mexico. But it doesn't seem possible any more, because we'll take off on Saturday. It's only 2 days away. What am I supposed to do? M: I'm really sorry, madam. I'll check right away. Would you please tell me your order number? W: It's CE2938. M: Just a minute. I do apologize, madam. There did seem to be a mistake. I'll have the correct size bag sent to you by overnight mail right away. It will arrive in time for your Saturday trip. Again I apologize for any inconvenience caused by our mistake. I promise it won't happen again. W: OK, well. Thank you. M: Thank you, madam, for choosing Lynch Mail. I hope you have a wonderful vacation. What was said before this conversation?
