Problem: W: Then why don't you have the waiter bring you something else? What was said before this conversation?

A: M: My dinner tastes kind of funny.

Problem: M: When is Thanksgiving Day? W: It's celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. What are your plans for it? M: I have no idea yet. What about you? W: The same as usual. My aunts and uncles and cousins come to our house for dinner. M: Oh, your family get together. What do you usually do? W: We usually have a big meal. My mother cooks turkey. But I prepare the vegetables. My aunts usually bring the pies. The women cook the meal, and the men wash the dishes. M: Really? In my family, when we get together the kids wash the dishes. The whole thing is a lot of work. W: Yes, but I like Thanksgiving. I was out of the country last year, and really missed it. That's one time in the year when families get together. John, if you haven't got any plans, why don't you come to my house to spend the holiday with us? M: Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Thanks a lot. What was said before this conversation?

Problem: M: I'm looking for a jacket for my son. W: Come with me, please. Here are jackets for boys. M: The black one is nice. How much is it? W: Twenty five pounds. M: Oh, I'm afraid it's too expensive. W: What about the blue one over there? It looks nice, too. And it's cheaper. M: But it's a bit small. Have you a bigger size? W: Sorry, we haven't. But we'll get some soon. Will you come next week? M: All right. I'll come again. What was said before this conversation?

A: W: What can I do for you, sir?

Problem: M: Yes, Miss. Bums Park is about half a mile from here. Do you want to take a bus or walk? The bus stop is on the other side of the street if you want to take a bus. W: Well, I'd like to walk if it's within walking distance. M: All right. We are now on Main Street. Go this way along, until you come to First Street. W: I see. M: Go straight along Main Street as far as First Street. Turn left onto First Street and walk another two blocks. Then you'll come to Lincoln Street? W: Lincoln Street. M: Yes, then turn right. Walk for a few minutes. Bums park begins at the comer of Lincoln and Fifth. W: Thank you very much, officer. M: You're welcome. Good-bye. What was said before this conversation?

W: Pardon me, officer. I want to go to Bums Park. Would you please tell me how to get there?
