Problem: M: Yes, may I help you? M: This is Henry Jones in Room 742. I checked in about ten minutes ago. W: Ah, yes, Mr. Jones. How can I help you? M: The bathroom is in an absolutely terrible condition. When I tried the shower, no water came out at all. W: Oh, dear, I'm sorry to hear that. I'll have it fixed immediately. M: And that is not all. There is no soap, towel or toilet paper. W: I apologize for this, Mr. Jones. We're rather short staffed at present. The housekeeper should have checked your room. We'll attend to it as soon as possible. There's been a misunderstanding. M: That's all right. The most important thing is to fix it as soon as possible. What was said before this conversation?

A: W: Hello, is this the Reception Desk?
Problem: Given the question: W: It certainly is. It was a great report. It indicates that the job market, broadly speaking, has turned the corner after 3 very long, lean years. I think we are going to see improvement. It's not only the March gain. It was gain in January and February. They were both revised higher, and moreover, the job gains were very broadly-based across many industries. It was a very positive report. M: What do you see in the numbers? Who's getting the new jobs? W: As I mentioned, when we looked at the numbers, "we are seeing employment across the board in all sectors, with one important exception, and that's in manufacturing. Well, we do not have any job loss in manufacturing sector for the first time in 44 months. We did not see pick up in the manufacturing sector, but we saw restaurant and hotel workers being added on. We saw workers in supermarket being added on. Part of that reflects the settlement of the grocery stores strike out California. We saw workers in the health care sector and hospitals being added on. We saw business services adding employees. So in general, with the very important exception of manufacturing, we are seeing job growth across all of these different types of occupations.
