Q: Read the below conversation. W: Lenny, I'm not sure how to say this, but here it goes: I lost your cat this morning. M: What?! W: I'm sorry. I don't know how it happened. She was in her usual place under the bed. When I opened the front door to get the morning paper, I saw her run past me really quickly. I tried to close the door in time, but she must have gotten out. M: Diane, she's a house cat. She's not supposed to go outside, ever! She could get lost and never find her way back. Or worse, she could get hit by a car! W: I feel like a terrible roommate, Lenny. I wish there were something I could do to fix this. M: Wait... You've looked everywhere for her? W: Yes... under the sofa, in the dirty clothes, behind the bookcase... M: Did you check back under the bed where she was? W: Hmm, I guess I didn't think to look there. I just assumed that she had... M: Look who I found! W: Oh, my! I can't believe it! I thought she had gone out of the front door, but I guess I didn't actually see her make it outside. What would the listener say?
A: M: Sometimes she starts to head out there, but she changes her mind at the last second. Then she just goes back to her safe place! The outside world can be a scary place for her!
Question: Read the below conversation. Sam: Hey, Henry, how's everything going, and what's with the flowers? Henry: They're for my wife. Sam: Oh, a wedding anniversary or something? Henry: To tell the truth, it couldn't be worse. [Oh]. You see, I have to pick my wife up from the airport this evening, but while she was gone, there were a few minor mishaps. Sam: Oh really? What happened? Henry: Well, I had some of the guys over Friday night to watch a basketball game on TV, but one of them got all excited, and started horsing around, waving his arms, and he accidentally knocked over my wife's 250-year old Chinese porcelain vase given to her [Oh no!], given to her by her grandmother, and broke it beyond repair. Sam: Man, have you tried ... Henry: ... super glue? Yeap, but she would be able to tell in a second I was trying to pull something over her eyes. Sam: Oh, wow. You're in hot water now. Henry: If it had only been that. Sam: Oh, there's more? Henry: Yeah, you see, the water from the vase spilled all over the manuscript of a book my wife has been writing for the past two years. It blurred the ink over many of the pages. [Oh no.] And so one of the guys had the bright idea of drying the pages by the fire while we watched, uh, the rest game, but a spark from the fire must have blown out and burned the manuscript to a crisp. Sam: But what about an electronic file copy? Had one, didn't she? Henry: Well, actually, her computer crashed the day before while I was playing some computer games, and I haven't been able to get it to work since. Sam: Man, are you in trouble now. [I know.] You're going to have a hard time digging yourself out of this one. [Yeah.] Ah, so I get it now. You're buying the flowers for her as a part of some kind of peace offering, right? Henry: No, not at all. They're for my funeral. What would the listener say?
Answer: Sam: [laughter]

W: That would be great. Yes, I'd love to. What time does it start? M: At 7:00 pm. Would you like to go for a drink first? W: Yes, fine. Is six o'clock OK? We can meet outside the cinema.

Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. M: Hello, Milton Hotel Reservations. How may I assist you? W: Hi, I'm calling to make some changes to an existing reservation. M: Certainly. Do you have the reservation number? W: Sure, it's 219. M: That's a reservation for Sally Menkel. Is that right? W: Yes, that's right. I'd like to change the check-in date from September 15 to September 16. M: Certainly. I can make that change for you. Is that the only change? W: No, the check-out date will also change from the 23rd to the 24th. M: No problem. We have you arriving on the 16th of September and leaving the 24th of September - altogether, eight nights. Will there be anything else? W: Yes. Instead of a courtyard room, I'd like a room with a view, preferably on an upper floor. M: I can certainly change that for you, but there will be a change in the room rate. The new rate is $199 per night, instead of the original $179. W: That's OK. These are all the changes. Thank you very much. What would the listener say?
