Maybe you two could ride together. W: No, I'm going to take a train to the Plain Station. I've already got my ticket. M: So what are you going to do in New York? W: I'm visiting a friend I met last summer at the music camp. I shared a camp with Laura and she's just moved to Manhattan. So I'm going up to see her new place. M: You two probably have a lot to talk about? Didn't you tell me you were from New York? W: No, I'm from California. I've never been to New York before. We are going to hear an opera at Lincoln Center on Saturday night. M: Wow, I wish I were going with you. What was said before this conversation?

W: I'd like some plants that can keep the earth fresh. M: Especially in this cold season when you can't keep die window open, isn't it? W: Absolutely. And something that's easy to care for and not expensive. M: OK, Miss. Our shop won't disappoint you. Look at these plants. They've just come in and I bet you like one of them. This is a corn plant. The tall tree can grow more than six feet and it doesn't need any water or light. W: Quite striking, isn't it? What's that? M: A palm. It adds a tropical touch to your room. The leaves are perfect for cleaning your air. It has a long life and it's easy to care for. W: Oh, this lovely small plant has beautiful white flower. What do you call it? M: Peace lily. Even the flower isn't blooming, its dense leaves look great. W: Perfect. It's just what I want. M: Won't you have a look at Janet Craig and Mother-in-Law's Tongue? And they're just as good. M: No, thanks. The peace lily is OK. The more I see, the less certain I become, you know. What was said before this conversation?

Q: Girl: Well, ... yeah. I'm looking for a Father's Day gift. Man: Okay. How about getting your father a new wallet? Girl: Hmm. How much is that wallet? Man: Huh ... which one? Girl: The black one. Man: Oh. It's only $40.95. Girl: Huh? That's too expensive for me. Do you have a cheaper one? Man: Hmm. How about this brown leather one? Girl: Umm... I don't think my father will like the design on the outside, and it doesn't have a place to put pictures. How much is it anyway? Man: It's $25.99. Girl: Humm. I don't have that much money. Man: Okay. How much money do you have to spend? Girl: I'm not sure [money falling on the table]. Probably about ten dollars or so. I've been helping my mom around the house for the past week to earn some money. This is all I have. Man: Hmm. How about this tie? Girl: That's real pretty, but the price tag says $13.99, and I know I don't have that much money. Man: Well, let's just say the tie went on sale. How about $5.00. What do you say? Girl: Oh, thanks. I'll take it. What was said before this conversation?
