Q: M: I saw a boy riding his bicycle in the street. The bus driver tried to avoid biting him. He made a sudden turn and lost control the bus. What was said before this conversation?
A: W: Mr. Wilson, you said you saw the bus crash into the truck. Do you know what caused the accident?

Q: W: I'm going to teach English to some immigrants in the university's community service program. M: That sounds interesting. Don't you need to speak a foreign language for a job like that? W: No, you don't. You just have to present the language simply and give the students a chance to practice speaking. M: Come to think of it, that's the way I was taught to speak Chinese. But speaking didn't help me learn to read and write Chinese. W: My students won't want to read and write English, at lease not now. They are more interested in speaking. M: You sound very knowledgeable about all this. How do you know so much? W: I took a Teaching English as a Second Language course last year when you were in China. I've also talked with the experienced teachers quite a lot. I think I would like to be an ESL teacher when I graduate. What was said before this conversation?
A: M: Well, Jenny, the school year is almost over. We just have two more weeks before exams. What do you plan to do this summer?

Q: W: Yes, Dr. Downs said he expects us to have the first five on the list. He is going to discuss them in detail. M: Are you going to buy them? W: I don't know. These books are expensive. And I don't have a lot of money on me. M: How about sharing them with me? W: Sounds good. M: Let's do this. I will buy three and you buy two of them. W: I would rather do it this way: we pay fifty-fifty for the books now. And at the end of the course you can take the books you find more interesting and I will take the ones I like. M: What if we both like the same books? W: Come on, we are not going to argue over that, are we? M: I was just joking. It's definitely a better idea. W: Then let's get the books as soon as possible. What was said before this conversation?
A: M: You see the list of books for this course?

Q: W: Calm down, Mike. We've got twenty minutes to go. There is no hurry. What was said before this conversation?
A:
M: Let's hurry, Susan. It's ten thirty, or we'll be late for the meeting.
