Q: M: Hi, Susan] Oh, no! Of course not! I give up driving to work. Instead, I ride to my working place. W: Why is that? M: You see. There is only a stone's throw from my home to my working place. I think riding a bike to work is more convenient. W: I don't think so. It will take you at least 25 minutes to get to our company from here. M: Yes, sometimes, 30 minutes. But I love riding to work now. It is a totally different picture on my way to work. W: Why do you think so? M: You see, every morning, after I set off for work, I can breathe the new fresh air along the way. By the time I reach my office, I feel rather revived. I even don't rely on coffee to spend my morning hours. W: Is it so magical? M: At least, that's how I feel about riding to work. I can't believe I have wasted so much fresh morning air in the past 3 years! W: Will you continue riding to work in the future? M: I think so. What was said before this conversation?
A: W: Peter, where is the ear? I haven't seen you drive to work for a long time! Is it broken or stolen?

Q: W: Yes, everyone here is having a good time. Any ideas for the future? M: Well, I'm interested in finance and my uncle runs a company in Hong Kong, so I decided to go to Hong Kong University. W: Sounds great. Hong Kong is an international financial center. You will surely go far there. M: What about you? W: I'd like to go to university in Beijing. M: What do you want to take as your major, computer science or medicine? W: I prefer medicine. It's always being my dream to be a doctor. What was said before this conversation?
A: M: Hi, Lily. Great graduation party, isn't it?

Q: W: Hilton Hotel, please. Brrr! It's cold, eh? I'm freezing. M: Come in. San Francisco is usually cold in winter, you know. It's often very rainy, which makes the weather colder and it sometimes.... W: Well, it gets very hot in summer, doesn't it? M: Not really. It gets warm in July and August. That's the best time to visit the city. Uh, oh. Here comes the rain! W: It's raining hard. By the way, how long does it take to reach the hotel, do you think? M: About half an hour if there is no traffic jam. Would you like to listen to some light music? W: That would be lovely. What was said before this conversation?
A: M: Where do you want to go, Madam?

Q: M: Sorry, but I was very comfortable. W: But do you put your feet on your own desk? M: No, never. I don't want to mark my desk. W: Well, would you please keep my desk clean? M: Aren't you going to sell it? W: Yes, but who wants a badly marked one? What was said before this conversation?
A:
W: Would you mind taking your feet off the desk, Bill?
