[Q]: W: I've been okay. I've just been busy with school. We really should get together and have a chat. How about joining me for dinner tonight? M: I'd love to, but I'm leaving for Miami at 8 tonight because my brother is getting married on Saturday morning. W: Congratulations! I hope that you have a nice time there. M: Well, what are you doing now? Maybe we can go to the coffee shop and chat for a while. W: I really wish I could, but I'm on my way to the tennis courts. M: Tennis courts? I didn't know you could play tennis. W: I'm taking tennis lessons. My roommate is on a tennis team and she's gotten me interested in the sport. Do you know how to play? M: A little, but I haven't played for years. When I come back from my trip, I'll join you in taking lessons. W: It's a deal. Just give me a call when you get back. M: You got it.

[A]: M: Oh, Christina, is that you? How have you been?

[Q]: M: Oh, it's a book about naval engineering. W: Why are you reading on Friday evening? M: Because I've got to write an essay this weekend. W: What are you going to do when you've qualified? M: I don't know. I'd like to get a job abroad, I think. What are you going to do when your year at Weston is over? W: I'm going to spend a few weeks touring Britain, then I'm going back to Canada, I suppose. M: What is John going to do? W: I think he's going to open a branch of" pretty feet"in London. M: What is he doing in Italy? W: He's seeing some designers here. He's coming back tomorrow. By the way, what are you and Sue doing on Saturday evening? M: I don't know yet. Why? W: Well, I thought we could cook another of our suppers and invite John and Sue. M: Oh, no! Not Potato Salad again! Sorry, Barbara, but I really have to read this book.

[A]: W: What are you reading, Paul?

[Q]: M: Yes. I received his invitation this morning. But he didn't tell me what time the party will begin. W: I'll ring him up and ask him about it. How will you go to his party? M: I'll drive to his party after work. Would you like to take my car there? W: I would be glad to. Thank you. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: W: Tomorrow is Mike's birthday. I have just received the invitation to his party. Did Mike invite you, too?

[Q]: W: It won't be easy. M: Thanks a lot. W: I'm just kidding, Bob. Actually I think once we show everyone how well you did as junior class treasurer, you will win easily. M: How do you do that? Meet with all three thousand people who are members of the student body? W: Come on! What I'm thinking of first is hanging campaign posters in all the hallways where most of the students are sure to see them. M: That sounds good. But everyone puts up posters. What can we do differently? W: The campus radio station is willing to let you have five minutes tomorrow morning at seven o'clock to outline your plans for the year. Lots of students will be listening then. M: That's a great idea! W: I've also arranged for you to give a speech during dinner tomorrow. At least five hundred students will be there. You'll answer questions after you finish speaking. M: How about if I write it tonight and show it to you after chemistry class tomorrow? W: Fine. What was said before this conversation?

M: You're campaign manager Julie. How do I convince the members of the student body to know that I'm the best candidate for school president?
