Answer: W: Lucy told me she would meet you at the gate of the station.
Problem: W: Oh, yes. In the United States, we don't have to carry a big school bag with us like you do. M: Why is that? W: We have a locker of our own, which is a small box with a lock. We keep textbooks and our personal things in it. I just bring a day-pack to school. M: A day-pack? W: Yes. It's a small bag that you carry on your back. M: What do you carry in it? W: My notebooks or a few books for homework. M: That's convenient. Is there anything else you've noticed about our school? W: Yes. I am surprised that everyone is so silent in class. M: What do you mean? W: Well, we usually ask questions about exams, homework or textbooks on the first day of the school year. The teacher likes such questions. M: So you felt it different. W: Yes. I expected to see a lot of discussions in class, because we learn in that way in the United States. M: I see. That would be a good topic for our school newspaper for the first month of the term. Nice talking with you. See you around. Bye. W: Bye. What was said before this conversation?
