Question: Brenda: Well, hmm. There is a reality show on at 7:00 on channel 5. Paul: Nah, you know I don't like reality shows. I mean, they usually show people doing crazy things like, you know, eating live fish or swimming in a pool full of snakes. I don't get into that. Brenda: Okay. Well, how about watching a documentary on the life of panda bears in the wild? Paul: Personally, I'd rather watch something with a little bit more action and suspense. Brenda: Well, then. Ah, here's something. Do you want to watch a rerun of Star Wars? Paul: Nah, I've seen it a zillion times. I'd like to see something different. Brenda: Okay, let's see here. Oh, how about this? On channel 2 at 9:00, there's a home improvement show about fixing anything around the house. We do have a few things that you could repair in the bathroom ... Paul: Fixing things? Uh, boy, I'm beat. I think I'm going to hit the sack. Brenda: You're going to bed? Paul: Yeah. I have to get up early tomorrow ... Brenda: ... and then you're going to fix the bathroom? Paul: Good night. Brenda: Okay. Too bad, though. There's a basketball game on right now, but ... but I guess you can catch the score in tomorrow's newspaper. Paul: Oh, okay. I'll stay up and keep you company while I ... I mean, you ... I mean, WE watch the game. Brenda: I thought you'd change your mind. I'll get the popcorn. What was said before this conversation?

Please answer this: Anna Maria: Yes, I feel quite at home now. I haven't got used to the food yet, but I'm enjoying the life on campus. Tutor: Good. Now we'd better make sure you enjoy your studies. We offer a very wide range of options on the foundation course, as you know; but you can only take six modules -do you know what you want to do yet? Anna Mafia: Yes, more or less, but I'm not sure whether to do biological sciences or German. Tutor: Well, that's quite a difference. You want to do computer studies, don't you? Anna Maria: Mmmmm, yeh. Tutor: Well, let's see-you elected to do physical sciences, basic electronics, art and design CAD-that computers and design-isn't it? Anna Maria: Computer-aided design actually, "CAD", but... Tutor: Oh, right-anyway, CAD and..., and English. That's quite a range. Don't you want to do maths-or computer programming, for example? Why don't you choose to do art and design? Anna Maria: Well, I'm interested in electronics-in computer-especially in writing computer games. I'd like to produce educational software, educational games, eventually. I've taught myself a lot of programming- I... I don't think I'd benefit much from a foundation level course. Tutor: No... no, I see that-go on. Anna Maria: So, er, I want the basics-the physical science and electronics I was hopeless at physics in school and we didn't have electronics-but I was good at maths-I don't think I need that. Tutor: And the art and design? Anna Maria: That will be good for my graphics-I need that to produce games-CAD too-I've never done CAD before. Tutor: No-right-they've got some powerful packages in the computer graphics and CAD offices-you'll enjoy that. So... that leaves English. It's mostly English lit. I know your English is very good, but did you know you can take English as a foreign language as one of the modules in the foundation year? Anna Maria: No... no, I didn't. That's great - if they've got classes at my level. I don't have any problem speaking-but my writing is terrible. Tutor: Oh, I'm sure they... What was said before this conversation?
