Question: W: What's your problem? M: I just can not find the right place here. I've never been here before. W: You must be a freshman. What do you want anyway? M: I want to find a book that I need for my term paper, but I cannot find it anywhere. W: The library has five reading rooms. You may try the General Reading Room. You can find almost all the books there. But you can not take the book out of the reading room. M: It doesn't matter. I just want to refer to it for some figures. Where is it? W: Go out of this building, cross the sports field, and you will see a white house. The General Reading Room is inside it. M: No wonder! It's not here! Thank you very much. W: My pleasure!

Answer: M: Excuse me. Can you do me a favor?
[Q]: W: Yes, thanks. We had a great time. And some friends went with us. M: Where did you stay? In a hotel? W: No. We camped in the mountains, near Snowdon. We cooked all our meals over an open fire. M: Sounds wonderful. Was the weather good? W: The sun shone nearly every day and it didn't rain at all. M: Did you like the people there? W: Yes, they were great. We met some farmers and had tea in their houses. M: When did you get back? Last night? W: No. This morning. You'll think we were mad. We got up at 4:30, left at 5 and arrived here at 9. I'm so tired. What about you? Did you have a good weekend? M: Yes, but I didn't do much. I stayed at home. The weather was terrible. What was said before this conversation?

Problem: W: (from a distance) I'm coming. Walt a moment. (nearer) Eric, I'm here. What's the matter? M: Look, Sally. Here's a job advertisement. "Start a new life with Exco Exports Ltd. as personal assistant to our managing director!" Perhaps it's the job you want. W: Personal assistant to the managing director? Yes, it is! Eric, would you like to read it for me? M: It's my pleasure! Now, listen--"We will give the right person 3,500 pa for a 45-hour week, free training, the chance to join a pension scheme, 3 weeks' holiday per year and a company car! Canteen facilities are also available." W: It sounds not so good. Only 3,500 every year. I think the salary is fairly low. The working hours seem too long, you see, a 45-hour week. Oh, my dear! And the holidays are short too, only 3 weeks. M: But you're interested in this type of job. Since you have no job now, you can treat it as one of your choices. W: Hm, you are right. OK, I'll write down the address. Eric, please repeat it to me. M: "Box 4032, London". W: Good, the company's in London. I don't want to work out of this city. M: Look, there is another point maybe you will be attracted by. W: Yes. Ah, just now, auntie Jenny called me. M: Really? What did she say? W: She told me there's a job opening for a secretarial position in her company. She asked me to apply for it. M: Sounds good. Would you like to try? W: I am interested in the work, but you know, her company is in the city of Edinburgh. So I thanked her and wrote down the address only. M: How kind she is! W: Yes, she is very kind... Oh, she invited us to her villa to attend her birthday party this Saturday. M: Sure we are going to attend it. But what present should we take? How about a bottle of wine, or... W: Eric! Look, here's another job advertisement. M: What is it? W: Listen: "Join one of the world's fastest growing companies: Exco Imports Lid." M: How about the work? W: (go on) "We are looking for a personal assistant to help our managing director." M: Another personal assistant... What was said before this conversation?
