M: Oh, no. Maybe you left it at the bank. You took it out when you cashed the cheque. W: But I remember having it after that. M: Well, you paid for the coffee when we were in that coffee shop. Remember? W: That's right. I remember feeling it to my pocket as we walked out. M: And then, we dropped in ... bookshop... W: Yes. But I remember taking a piece of paper out of my purse to write down the name of the book on it. I think I must have left the purse on the shelf. I'll call the bookshop and see if they found it.

Q: M: Hello. Is that Jean? W: Yes, speaking. M: There is a really good film on at the cinema this week. It's called "Sounds Forever". Would you like to come and see it with me on Wednesday evening? W: No. I'm afraid I can't. I'm going to play at a concert at London University on Wednesday. M: What about Friday then? W: That would be great. Yes, I'd love to. What time does it start? M: At 7:00 pm. Would you like to go for a drink first? W: Yes, fine. Is six o'clock OK? We can meet outside the cinema. M: OK. See you on Friday then. Bye. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: M: Do you have any brothers or sisters?
input: Please answer the following: W: You're fight. M: Look, I know how you feel about my smoking. You don't have to tell me every day. W: I'm sorry. I worry about you. M: Let's be honest. There's always going to be a reason. After you graduate, it's going to be hard to find a job, then there will be the stress from just starting a job. M: OK, I get your point. It's just so hard. You don't really understand because you have never smoked. W: You need some help. Why don't you go to a doctor? M: You mean a psychiatrist? W: No, I don't. I mean a general practitioner. Maybe you can get a patch, or some pills, well, I don't know, something to help you with the withdrawal. M: Really, I believe I can quit on my own. But I'll think about it. I will. W: All fight. I won't mention it for a week. Then I want to know your decision. Because if you don't get some help, I need to rethink our plans. M: You mean you'd break our engagement over this? I can't believe it! W: I don't know. What was said before this conversation?

W: I am the manager, Sir. How can I help you? M: Oh, really? It's this radio. It doesn't work. W: Mm... did you buy it here? M: What do you mean? Of course I bought it here. Look, you switch it on and nothing happens. W: Could I see your receipt? M: Receipt? I haven't got one. W: Oh, you should have got a receipt when you bought it. M: I perhaps did. I must have thrown it away. W: Ah, well, have you got any other proof of purchase, the guarantee, for example? M: No. It must have been in the box. I threw that away, too. W: Oh, dear. You really ought to have kept it. We need to know the exact date of purchase. M: What? I only bought it yesterday! That young man over there served me. Oh, I paid by cheque. I've got the cheque stub. W: That's all right then. Did you check the radio before you left the shop? M: Check it? No, it was in the box. I hoped it would work. It wasn't a cheap radio. It's a good make. W: You should have checked it. M: Come on! Do not tell me what I should have done, and do something! Either give me my money back or give me another raido. W: There's no need to get aggressive, Sir. Let me look at it... mm... you see this little switch on the back? M: Yes? W: It's on "main", and it should be on "battery". You really should have read the instructions. M: Oh!
