Q: Man: Hi, Maggie. Good, thanks. What's new with you? Woman: Oh, I was just wondering if you want to go out tonight. Man: Well, I was thinking of going to the university library to do a bit of study. What've you got on mind? Woman: I thought we just go for a walk? Maybe down the park near the beach. Man: Tonight? You must be joking! It's too cold. Woman: Oh, yes. It's too cold. But I still want to go out somewhere. That New Town Cruel Sail is on in the town. How about that? Man: OK. What time does it start? Woman: Oh, I think it's half past eight, something. I'll get a paper and have a look. Just turn on for a minute. Look, the film (have) got a fantastic review last week. Man: OK. OK. Where are we going to meet? Woman: It'd be easier if we meet at the cinema. Man: OK. Where is it? Woman: Oh, you know, the Oyiyang. Man: Where is that? Woman: Near the town hall at the opposite of the Bank. Man: Oh, yes. I know where it is. OK. Look, I'll meet you there at fifteen past eight. What was said before this conversation?

[Q]: M: Oh, yes. My wife bought it for me yesterday. Hmm, you look nice in that yellow dress. Yellow suits you really well. W: Maybe. Several people also have suggested that I get more yellow clothes. They say the color suits me because of my skin. M: That's right. You know, pink, green and black could also be good for you. Actually, I think all colors are okay for a person like you. Different colors can give people different impressions. For example, black could make you look mature, while pink could make you look young and energetic. W: It's kind of you to say so. It sounds like you're a clothing expert. M: Well, compared with my wife, I'm just a beginner. What was said before this conversation?
