[A]: M: Hello, this is doctor Marita from the emergency department. I have a 70-year-old patient with a fractured ankle.
input: Please answer the following: M: Hello, Victoria. This is Joe Smith from country holidays. I wondered if you could do some catering for us next week, we are having a small reception. It's to launch our summer holiday advertising campaign. Will you be free? W: When exactly is it? Mr. Smith? M: April 21st, that's Thursday. Oh, sorry, no. It should be Friday. W: Oh, yes I can do that where will you be holding it? M: We thought we'd have that at head office and use the conference room, because there is enough room for everyone there. W: Ok. What sort of things would you like? M: Just a light lunch I think, so that people can eat while they move around and talk to each other. You did some thing similar for us last year. We'd be happy to have the same menu again. W: Right. I'll look at my diary and see what you had last time. Oh, I nearly forgot to ask you how many should I cater for? M: Well, I think most people will be able to come, perhaps around 30. No, let's say 35, to be sure. W: Right, thank you for getting in touch, Mr. Smith. I'll send you confirmation of the arrangements by the end of this week. M: Ok. What was said before this conversation?

Problem: W: Yeah, I guess so. I spent the weekend at the beach. M: Oh, yeah, that's great. Where did you stay? W: Some friends of my parents' live out there and they invited me for as long as I wanted to stay. M: So what are you doing back here already? W: Oh, 1 have a paper to work on, and I just couldn't do any serious studying at the beach. M: I don't blame you. So what did you do out there? I mean besides lying out in the sun. W: I ran slowly up and down the beach, and 1 played some volleyball. You know I never realized how hard it is to run on sand. I couldn't even get through a whole game before I had to sit down. M: Did you go swimming? W: I wanted to, but they said the water isn't warm enough for that until a couple of months from now. M: It all sounds nice. I wish I could get away to the beach like that.
