Problem: Dad: Wait, wait, wait ... Where are you going? Girl: Dad. I've already told mom. I'm going out tonight. Dad: Who with? You mean you're going on a date? Girl: Yeah. Mom met Dirk yesterday. [Dirk!?] He's sooo cool. We're going on a double-date with Cindy and Evan. Dad: Dirk. Girl: I have to go. Dad: Wait, wait. I want to meet this guy. Girl: He's waiting for me. Dad: Well, so what are you going to do tonight? Going to the library? Girl: Dad! We're going out to eat, and then we're going to catch a movie. Dad: What movie and what is it rated? Girl: It's a science fiction thriller called ... well, I don't know what it is called, but it's rated PG. Dad: And where's the movie showing? Girl: Down at the Campus Plaza Movie Theater. Dad: Hey, I was thinking about seeing a movie down there tonight, too. Girl: Ah, Dad. Dad: Hey, Let me meet that guy. [Father looks out the living room window] ... Hey, that guy has a moustache! Girl: Dad. That's not Dirk. That's his older brother. He's taking us there! Can I go now? Dad: Well ... Girl: Mom said I could, and mom knows his parents. Dad: Well ... Girl: Dad. Dad: Okay, but be home by 8:00. Girl: Eight!? The movie doesn't start until 7:30. Come on, Dad. Dad: Okay. Be back by 11:00. Girl: Love you, Dad. Dad: Love you, too. Girl: Bye. Dad:Bye.

Problem: W: I've started running to work instead of taking the bus. It's good for the environment. M: I drive to work. I keep fit at the gym. W: Well, running gives me a wonderful feeling of freedom-it's just what I need before sitting down in the office every day. M: Are you going to join in the big race next month? W: I'd like to. Are you going to take part in it? M: Oh, yes. But I'm not going to train by running to work. I'll run around the park a few times when I get home in the evenings. W: OK. Anyway I must go now or I'll be late. Bye. What was said before this conversation?

A: M: Hi, Natasha. I see you're going out for a run. You don't have to go to work today?

Problem: M: Why don't we have a surprise party, Maggie? W: That's a good idea. We could go to the Holiday Inn Hotel. M: That's too expensive. Maybe we can ask Carrie to make a cake. W: Yeah, let's do that. Perhaps we could just give the party in the office and put up some balloons. M: That's great. I think we should also buy a really big card, a huge card, and we should get everybody to sign it. W: Shall we have some music? M: I was thinking exactly that myself. But ...
