Q: M: Well, it's a bit difficult. There are thousands of overseas students here, you know. W: Would it be better to stay in a hotel, to share a flat, or to stay with a family? M: It would probably be better to stay with a family to begin with, Carla. W: You wouldn't recommend sharing a flat? M: No, I wouldn't move into a flat if I were you. You won't get much studying done in a flat. You'll spend half your time cooking and cleaning! W: How can I find out about families who take in students? M: There's a list at the student union building, on campus. The people at the student union should be able to help you find a family to stay with. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: M: Are you doing anything exciting this summer, Sandy?
input: Please answer the following: W: Thank you. Both Ann and I are full-time counsellors. Students either come tons on their own or are referred to us by a tutor. We see students individually, run group therapy sessions and courses of sessions as we think necessary. We are here to help with any problems? no matter how great or small, such as homesickness, relationship difficulties, death and separation, sexual problems, undue stress due to work and so on. You will not be the first to be homesick, find college life stressful, or decisions problematic. So please don't hesitate to come and have a chat if there is anything bothering you. This is a confidential service but we are willing to arrange with your course directors, your tutors, Student Union officers, career department or doctors. We can also put you in touch with outside counselling services. As a part of the university, all counselling is free of charge for full-time students. I know some of you may feel that seeing a counsellor has a stigma attached to it, but let me assure you even the best balanced individuals encounter situations where they need someone to talk with. So please don't hesitate. You're welcome to make use of this service. We hope you will enjoy your studies at the university. Thank you. What was said before this conversation?

Answer: W: I'd like to have my car serviced, the engine and wheels checked. How long will that take?
Question: W: Me too. Shall we eat out? There is a new French restaurant down the street. M: Oh, forget about it. I went there with a friend last week. The menu was all in French and I just couldn't read it. W: That's what you are paying for. M: Maybe. But I should say everything was expensive and nothing was to my satisfaction. W: Then how about the Italian restaurant on the next block. M: Well. I ate out almost every day last week. Let's just eat in today. W: But I am not in the mood to cook. M: I will cook then. In fact, I am sick and tired of restaurant. I just want a home-cook meal. What was said before this conversation?
Answer:
