[Q]: W: Oh, thanks. I got into that wedding dress with great difficulty. It was too small. M: Why didn't you get one your size? W: Oh, it was my grandmother's - my mother wore it on her wedding day, and I really wanted to wear it on mine. I suffered for six months so I could wear it. M: How did you do it? W: Do you know this diet that many actors are doing? I don't think it's very healthy if you do it for a long time, but it really works. M: I think meat is not allowed in your diet. W: No, actually, you can eat things like, um, roast chicken, steak, and bacon, but you can't eat any bread and butter. M: Is it the diet that you love but have to avoid? W: That's right. Dieting is so boring. Hopefully, I won't need to wear the wedding dress again anyway. What was said before this conversation?

[Q]: M: Of course,Jane. Sit down. What is it? W: I've decided to leave. M: Leave? W: Yes. M: Oh,no. Is it because we're moving out of London? W: Well,yes. But there are other reasons. M: I see. You never like working here. W: No, no. I've enjoyed working here. But... M: But what? W: Well, I haven't time to do other things. I've worked here for five years. And I'd like to do something different. M: What do you mean, something different? W: I want to travel. You know, I have never been to other countries. M: Really? W: Yes. I want to live abroad and learn to speak a different language. M: What can I say? I'm really sorry. But I understand. W: Thank you, Jack. What was said before this conversation?
