input question: W: Hi! Well, I talked with my teachers before I left about the work I would miss. Besides, my aunt in Denver made me study a lot there. M: I thought she was your rich aunt. W: Not very. But she didn't have any children to raise, so she does have some money, even though she was a teacher. M: How was the holiday? W: Cold, at least three of the days I went. And I saw so many people on the mountain on Washington's Birthday. M: The beaches here were full on Washington's Birthday, too. It really was warm here, so lots of people went swimming. W: Well, we should have stayed home that day. There were so many people. We took the train over to the mountain, so at least we didn't have to drive. It is a good thing we did-there were so many cars and buses, and no place to park anywhere. M: Just like the beaches here. What was said before this conversation????

input question: M: Some of these books aren't so old, though. See? This novel was published only six years ago. It cost seventy-five cents. W: Hey! Look at this! M: What? Are you getting interested in nineteenth-century plays all of a sudden? W: No. Look at the signature. Someone gave this book as a present, and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It's dated 1856. Maybe it's worth something. M: Everything on that shelf is worth fifty cents. W: But if this is the signature of someone who is well-known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars. M: Oh? I can hardly read what the one says. Who wrote it? W: The name looks like "Harold Dickinson". Wasn't he a politician or something? I'm going to buy this book and see if I can find a name like that in the library. M: Good luck. Your book of plays may make you rich, but I'll bet my seventy-five cents novel is a better buy. What was said before this conversation????
output answer: W: I enjoy going through secondhand bookstores, don't you? It's interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading. Did you see this old book of children's stories?

input question: W: Good idea. But I'd prefer tea, please. M: This is Ted, my roommate. We live in the dormitory. W: Is this your room? You certainly have a lot of books. How did you ever manage to put them in such a good order? M: Ted did this for me. He is a neat person. W: Do you like living in the dormitory? M: Yes. Ted is a very good guy. Sometimes I leave my books and clothes lying around and he gets angry. Sometimes he turns his radio up too loud and makes much noise, then I get angry. But on the whole we can get well along. W: Where did you take this picture? M: That's a picture of us taken when we went to the beach during vacation~ W: You look so smart. This is a lovely puppy. M: That's my dog Allen. He is now with my parents. What was said before this conversation????
