input question: Man: Well, uh, I get up around a quarter to six ( 5:45 ) in the morning. Woman: Wow! That's kind of early. Man: A little. Then, I eat a quick breakfast, and I catch the bus at, uh, 7:00. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the bus stop. Woman: That's a pretty good walk. Man: Yeah, and uh, next, I work at the library from 8:00 to 11:15 or so, and I have classes from noon until about five. Woman: Um. Man: And then I catch the bus back home, and I arrive ... well, you know how the traffic is. It depends on traffic, but around 6:15, and I make a sandwich or something for dinner, and then I walk to the gym and meet some of my friends, uh, there [ Oh, that sounds fun. ] around 7:00. [ Around 7:00? ] You know Steve? [ Uh-huh. ] Yeah, he and I usually go. Steve and uh, what is her name? The new girl, um. I think her name is Amy. Woman: So you have a group you work out with then? Man: Right. Woman: That sounds fun. Man: And we exercise, play basketball, lift weights ... you know, do things like that ... for about an hour and a half. Woman: Wow. Do you do that every night? Man: Oh, no. I usually go to the gym on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. And on Wednesdays, I take guitar lessons [ Ooh, fun! ] Yeah, uh, in the evening at a music school, you know, just around the corner from my house. Woman: Oh, that's convenient. Man: Yeah, yeah. It's really nice. Woman: Well, I was wondering when do you get time to see your girlfriend. Man: That's the problem. I only see her on Tuesdays in the evening and on Saturdays and some Sundays. I mean, we usually text each other every day, and I sometimes call her during my lunch break. Woman: Oh, that's nice. Man: It sounds like you have a very busy schedule.

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?

Answer: W: Peter, where is the ear? I haven't seen you drive to work for a long time! Is it broken or stolen?
Q: Father: Uh, what, what, uh, uh!?!? Daughter: The movie is over. You slept through the best part. Father: Ah, ah, I must have dozed off during the last few minutes. Daughter: Right. You were gone for so long you should have brought your pillow and blanket. So, what did you think about it? Father: Well, overall, I'm a little disappointed with the movie. I mean, the story was a little bizarre, you have to admit. I mean, really. How believable is a plot about a captain who navigates his spaceship to the far reaches of the galaxy and encounters a race of frog people. I mean, come on. Daughter: Ah, I thought it was fantastic [Uhhh]. I mean, you have to admit that the special effects were awesome, and the acting wasn't bad either. Father: Ah, come on. What about the ship's communications officer? I mean, what did you think about him? [Well ...] Wasn't he a little weird to you? He was always talking to himself, and he had that funny hairdo? Daughter: Well, he was a little ... unusual [Yeah, yeah], but the ship's doctor was amazing. It was so cool when he brought the captain back to life during one of the battles. Father: That was pretty realistic, but then the rest of the movie just went from bad to worse. And the photography was so fake! Daughter: How do you know? You were snoring so loud the neighbors probably had to close their windows. It was that bad. Father: Ah, well, let's go to bed What was said before this conversation?
A: Daughter: Dad, Dad, Dad!
Question: W: No, thank you. But we have a small problem. Can you help us? M: Sure. W: We are looking for a hotel. Are there any hotels near here? M: Yes. The nearest one is next to the bank. It's quite modern. W: Do you think there're any cheap ones nearby? M: Yes. Drive west for about two minutes and you will find one opposite to a supermarket. It's a family hotel, very comfortable, and the price is quite reasonable. W: It sounds nice. Thank you very much for your help. M: That's all right. What was said before this conversation?
Answer: M: Good evening, sir, ma'am. A table for two?
[Q]: W: Yes, I'm packed, but not quite ready. I can't find my passport. M: Your passport? That's the one thing you mustn't leave behind. W: I know. I haven't lost it. I've packed it, but I can't remember which bag it's in. M: Well, you have to find it at the airport. Come on, the taxi is waiting. W: Did you say taxi? I thought we were going in your car. M: Yes, well, I have planned to, but I'll explain later. You've got to be there in an hour. W: The plane doesn't leave for two hours. Anyway, I'm ready to go now. M: Now, you're taking just one case, is that right? W: No, there is one in the hall as well. M: Gosh, what a lot of stuff! You're taking enough for a month instead of a week. W: Well, you can't depend on the weather. It might be cold. M: It's never cold in Rome. Certainly not in May. Come on, we really must go. W: Right, we're ready. We've got the bags. I'm sure there's no need to rush. M: There is. I asked the taxi driver to wait two minutes, not twenty. W: Look, I'm supposed to be going away to relax. You're making me nervous. M: Well, I want you to relax on holiday, but you can't relax yet. W: OK, I promise not to relax, at least not until we get to the airport and I find my passport.
