Please answer this: M: I'm preparing my fishing tools. W: What for? M: I'm going to fish with some of my friends. W: Are you fond of fishing? M: Yes. I like fishing after school and on Sundays. W: When did you get such a hobby? M: Long ago. You know, my father is fond of and very good at fishing. When I was a child, he took me to the riverside to see him fishing. I found fishing very interesting then. Well, what's your hobby? W: I'm very interested in making home movies. But I haven't got a movie camera. M: I also like taking photos and I have a Japanese-made camera. W: I take a lot of photos, too. But I'm more interested in the history of film, so I really enjoy using a film camera. I'll buy one of my own someday. What was said before this conversation?

Answer: W: What are you doing here?
Problem: W: Yes, sure. M: Could you tell me when you became interested in gardening? W: Well, I was always interested in wild flowers and then in 1980 I read Margery Fish's book Cottage Garden Flowers, which is full of practical advice and personal opinions. But I was reading about plants that I didn't know, so I started to read as much as I could and get different writers' advice. I also used to visit Kew Gardens a lot. That was when we lived in Harrow, West London. I learned a lot from my visit. By the way, Dorset is one of England's three most beautiful towns, the other two being Wiltshire and Somerset. You must know what. I'm often invited to give talks to biology students in college. M: Yes, certainly. That's why I came here. Now what was your first garden like? W: It was a very tiny piece of land, which came with my house in Harrow, West London. M: Do you grow many plants yourself? W: I don't grow many plants from seeds. But I have several friends and we often give each other plants. My garden is a place which often reminds me of so many people through the plants they've given me.

A: M: Mrs. Whinfield, thank you very much for allowing me to visit your wonderful garden. It really helps me a lot to write an article on Dorset gardens for our paper. Now I wonder if I could ask you a few questions.
Problem: Given the question: W: Yeah, I'm really excited, Jack. I'm going up to New York City for a couple of days. M: My roommate's going to New York, too. Are you driving? 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?
