Question: M: Yes, I will never be tired of it. I have read three times. I can always learn something new from it every time I read it. W: Really? Who's the writer? M: Charles Dickens. I think he's a great English writer. What about you? W: So do I. He is also my favorite foreign writer. What do you think about it? M: It's exciting. W: Where did you buy it? M: In the Rese Bookshop. W: I don't know where it is. Is it far from here? M: No. Only 10 minutes' walk from here. Next to the People's Cinema. W: Oh. I see. I am going there to get one, too. Thank you. M: You are welcome.

[A]: W: I need to return these library books today. Do you want to come with me?
input: Please answer the following: M: Yes. I think I left my digital camera on the train from London earlier today. R: Did you, sir? Oh, well, in that case, we'd better fill in a Lost Property Form. Can you tell me your name? M: Yes, it's Mark Adams. R: OK. Your address? M: You mean in Britain or in the States? R: How long are you staying? M: Oh, I've still got a few months in Britain. R: OK, then can you give me your address here? M: Right. It's 18 Linden Drive, Laten Essex. Do you want the phone number? R: Yes, I'd better have that too. M: OK, 0809 45233. R: Thanks. And you say it was a digital camera, what make and model? M: It's Samsung G302. R: OK, got that. Now, you say it was the London train. What time did it arrive in Edinburgh? M: At 4:45 this afternoon. R: Well then, if we find it, sir, shall we phone you or write to you? M: No. I think I will drop in the day after tomorrow to check out. R: Right you are, sir. We'll do our best.

Please answer this: M: Yes, I'd like to read some articles that are on reserve in the library for anthropology 311. W: Professor Gilers's class? M: That's right. How could you know? W: Let's just say you are not the first person. M: Oh, well, seeing as how I haven't read any of them yet, it doesn't really matter which one of them you give me first. W: I'm afraid I can't give you any of them at the moment. They've all been checked out. M: You're kidding all of them? W: I've asked professor Gilers twice already to bring in additional copies of the articles, but no sooner do I place them on the shelves than they are gone. See that girl in the black sweater? She's been waiting for half an hour for these same articles to be returned. M: And here I went out of my way to free the whole afternoon to read. W: I'm sorry, but there is not a whole lot I can do about it. All I can suggest is that you come in first thing tomorrow morning and try again; we open at eight.

A: M: Is it true that all of them survived the fire last night?
input: Please answer the following: W: Hot? It's windy and cold today. You must have got a cold. I'm afraid that you took off your coat while you played football with your friends yesterday afternoon. M: Yes. I felt sweat then. Oh, it's seven fifty now. My gosh! I'll be late if I don't drive to work in a hurry. I have an important meeting with my clients this morning. W: How do you feel now? M: Just a little headache. W: Then you'd better not go to work today. I think you've caught a cold. You'll have to see a doctor. But drink some water first. M: Yes, "My sweety". You sound like a doctor, Ophra. W: After leaving the nursing school, I have been working as a nurse in a hospital for over five years. What was said before this conversation?
