[Q]: W: I'd love to. But I must write some emails. M: Why tonight? W: I haven't written to anyone for months. Sylvia and John must think I've forgotten them. M: You don't have to write. You can call them tomorrow. It's half price on Sundays. W: Yes, I could, couldn't I? All right. I'll do that. What's playing then? M: Let's see. Here we are. The Columbia: In the World. A must for all teenagers. W: No, thank you! M: Central: Children's World. All parents of teenage children ought to see this picture. W: There must be something worth seeing somewhere. M: What about this? John Wayne in Texas, Here I Come. W: I can't stand Westerns. M: Neither can I. Listen, Joan. I've got a better idea... W: Let's stay at home and wash down the kitchen walls! M: Great idea! What was said before this conversation?

[A]: M: By the way, would you like to go to the movies this evening?

[Q]: W: Yes. As soon as I left school, I... my studies as a nurse. I stopped asking my parents for money since I got financial support from the government. But I still stay with them a lot. M: You're staying ... very close to your parents? W: I am. They never forced me to do anything I didn't want to do. What about you? M: Well, I am also fond of my family. But I don't always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much. W: But they allowed you to come to study in England on your own. M: Yes, but, only after a lot of persuasion. Your parents treat you as an adult. Mine treat me as a child. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: M: Are you quite independent of your parents now?

[Q]: M: Not too good. W: Well, the term exam is always more difficult. Work harder, and you'll certainly do better next time. M: I've worked hard enough, I think, but unluckily, I have never done well in the exam. W: Well, it's no use worrying about the exam now. Let's talk about the football game tonight. It's much more interesting. M: Is there a football game on TV tonight? W: Yes it's between the Chinese team and the Japanese team. M: ... Er I'd rather watch some other programmes. W: Why? You're so interested in football. M: The Chinese team has always played badly in the important match, just as I have done in the important exam. What was said before this conversation?

[Q]: W: No. I saw an interesting TV play on Channel 1. How about the film? M: Not bad. It was about a girl who wants to realize her dream of becoming a dancer. W: Really? I wanted to see the film for long. What was said before this conversation?
