Problem: Given the question: M: Well, I should be. I've lived here all my life. What are you looking for? W: The Post Office. M: Well, the nearest one is about a mile away. W: Oh. Well, I guess I could send a letter. M: There's a mail box up the street. Have you already got a stamp on that letter? W: Yes, I have to register it. How do I walk to the post office from here? M: Go up this street until you get to the main street. Then turn right and walk about four blocks or so. W: Thank you for your help. M: The post office entrance is inside a building complex with some other offices. W: I'm sure I'll find it. If I get lost, I'll ask again. M: There's an American flag out front, and a sign: The U.S. Post Office. W: Thanks again. Bye. What was said before this conversation?

Problem: Given the question: Ranae: Yeah. Why do you want to know? Steve: Well, on Monday, I asked Jennifer out on a date for this coming Saturday night. Ranae: Wow. You've really been seeing a lot of her lately. Sounds great. Okay, write down these directions so you don't get lost. Steve: Okay, go ahead. Ranae: First, drive down 1st street going west, cross the river, and keep going straight until Pine Street. Steve: Until Pine Street, right? Ranae: Right. Then turn left, and the movie theater is the second building on the right. It's next to the church. Steve: Second building on the right. Got it. Now, can you recommend any nice restaurants? Ranae: Yeah. The Pink Flamingo serves excellent Spanish food. Steve: Well where's that? Ranae: Well, starting from the movie theater, go south on Pine Street, cross 2nd Street, and drive to 3rd Street. You'll see a parking lot on the left side of the street. Okay so far? Steve: A parking lot on the left. Okay. Then what? Ranae: Okay, then turn left on 3rd Street and drive east. The Pink Flamingo is the building just before the river on the left side. I think it's open weekdays from 10:30 in the morning to 11:30 at night, but it stays open until midnight on the weekends. Steve: Okay, I think I've driven by there before. Oh, last thing. Where can I buy some flowers? We're going out to celebrate Jennifer's birthday. Ranae: Well the only florist I know is in front of the stadium on 2nd Street. Try that one. Steve: Great. Thanks a lot.
