W: Hello. Is that Mr. Jackson? M: Yes, it is. W: Mr. Jackson. I am a reporter from the TV station at school. As far as I know, you are a very successful teacher and quite popular among the students, so I want to ask you some questions. M: OK. W: Do you often give homework to your students after class? M: It depends. Maybe once or twice a week. W: Do you think it is good for your students to do a lot of homework? M: No, I don't think so. Too much homework takes too much of their free time. I seldom give homework to my students on the weekend. They need time to relax and rest, especially on weekends. W: You are a great teacher. By the way, what do you do in your free time? M: I'm a very good football player. My team won first place in our city tournament last year. W: Congratulations! Well, thank you for your help. What was said before this conversation?

Question: W: Hello, Dr. White, my name's Pan Johnson. My roommate, Janet Holmes, wanted me to call you. M: Janet Holmes? Oh, that's right. She's in my Shakespearean English class. Has anything happened to her? W: Nothing, it's just that she submitted a job application yesterday and the company asked her in for an interview today. She's afraid she won't be able to attend your class this afternoon. I'm calling to see whether it would be OK if I gave you her essay. M: Certainly, that would be fine. Uh, you can either drop it off at my class or bring it to my office. W: Would it be all right to come by your office around 4:00? I'm afraid I can't come any earlier because I have three classes this afternoon. M: Uh, I won't be here when you come. I'm supposed to be at a meeting from 3:00 to 6:00, but how about leaving it with my secretary? She usually stays until 5:00. W: Fine, please tell her I'll be there at 4:00. And Dr. White, one more thing, could you tell me where your office is? Janet told me where your class is, but she didn't give me directions to your office. M: Well, I'm in Room 302 of the Gregory Building. I'll tell my secretary to put the paper in my mail box, and I'll get it when I return. W: I sure appreciate it. Goodbye, Dr. White. M: Goodbye, Ms. Johnson. What was said before this conversation?
