Q: M: No. What is it like? W: It's one of the most interesting cities in the United States. It has a French Quarter, with narrow streets and little shops. Many of the shops and restaurants are French. M: There's a lot of jazz music in New Orleans, isn't there? W: Yes. You hear wonderful jazz there. New Orleans and San Francisco are my two favorite cities. Have you been to San Francisco? M: No. What is it like? W: It has lovely views, and one of the most beautiful bridges in the world - the Golden Gate Bridge. It's a very hilly city. The hills are in the middle of the town, so you have to walk up and down hills when you go anywhere. When you arrive, your car needs good brakes. M: Do you have to drive? Can't you take buses? W: Well, most people who visit San Francisco ride in the cable cars. A cable car goes on tracks, and a strong cable pulls it up the hills. M: That doesn't sound very safe. W: Don't worry. Hundreds of people ride in cable cars every day. What was said before this conversation?

Question: Brenda: Well, hmm. There is a reality show on at 7:00 on channel 5. Paul: Nah, you know I don't like reality shows.

Well, how about watching a documentary on the life of panda bears in the wild? Paul: Personally, I'd rather watch something with a little bit more action and suspense. Brenda: Well, then. Ah, here's something. Do you want to watch a rerun of Star Wars? Paul: Nah, I've seen it a zillion times. I'd like to see something different. Brenda: Okay, let's see here. Oh, how about this? On channel 2 at 9:00, there's a home improvement show about fixing anything around the house. We do have a few things that you could repair in the bathroom ... Paul: Fixing things? Uh, boy, I'm beat. I think I'm going to hit the sack. Brenda: You're going to bed? Paul: Yeah. I have to get up early tomorrow ... Brenda: ... and then you're going to fix the bathroom? Paul: Good night. Brenda: Okay. Too bad, though. There's a basketball game on right now, but ... but I guess you can catch the score in tomorrow's newspaper. Paul: Oh, okay. I'll stay up and keep you company while I ...
