Q: W: Hi, I'm calling to make some changes to an existing reservation. M: Certainly. Do you have the reservation number? W: Sure, it's 219. M: That's a reservation for Sally Menkel. Is that right? W: Yes, that's right. I'd like to change the check-in date from September 15 to September 16. M: Certainly. I can make that change for you. Is that the only change? W: No, the check-out date will also change from the 23rd to the 24th. M: No problem. We have you arriving on the 16th of September and leaving the 24th of September - altogether, eight nights. Will there be anything else? W: Yes. Instead of a courtyard room, I'd like a room with a view, preferably on an upper floor. M: I can certainly change that for you, but there will be a change in the room rate. The new rate is $199 per night, instead of the original $179. W: That's OK. These are all the changes. Thank you very much. M: You're welcome. Have a nice day! What was said before this conversation?
A: M: Hello, Milton Hotel Reservations. How may I assist you?
Question: W: Yeah! It wouldn't have been the same watching this movie at home on TV. The huge screen and sound system in this theater really made a difference. M: And when the aliens started shooting lasers at the ship, I was like, whoa! I jumped back in my seat. They were so scary, with those big eyes and long, weird fingers. W: I hope I don't have nightmares tonight about being taken prisoner by aliens. M: Just remember - the astronauts won the battle. They defeated the aliens and saved the planet earth, so you don't have to worry. W: That's right! Hey, do you have any more popcorn left? M: I can't believe you're still hungry! We ate almost an entire large popcorn, plus candy and soda. W: I didn't eat lunch! Let's get some ice cream and see another movie. I want to watch the comedy about the talking cats. It's starting in 20 minutes! M: Or we could see the one about the prisoners breaking out of jail! W: No, I'd rather see something funny. M: OK, that sounds good.

Answer: M: The special effects in that movie were so realistic! I felt like I was in outer space a few times.

[A]: W: Where's the hospital? My grandma is in the hospital.
input: Please answer the following: M: Well, no...I came back late yesterday and found John sleeping in the chair. He'd been writing a report all day long and he was too tired to go out again, so we gave the lesson a miss. W: You've missed quite a lot of lessons lately, haven't you? Are you losing interest? M: Yes, I'm afraid so. Neither John nor I have a gift for language. People just laugh at us when we attempt to speak German. How did you and Jane pick it up so quickly and easily? You've hardly been in Germany a month. W: It was neither quick nor easy. We'd both studied the language before we came, and we only needed to revise it. M: Anyway, all our friends here speak English very well, so we don't really need to learn German. What was said before this conversation?

Answer: W: Look at this catalogue, John. I think I want to get this red blouse.
Question: M: Yes, I'm making plans for a tour. W: That'll be lovely. Where are you going? M: I start out from Long Island this Friday. I've planned a four-day drive to Salt Lake Ciy, where I'll join my brother and my family for his fortieth birthday. W: Well, you've got to prepare lots of food and enough sleeping bags then? M: Oh, no. I'll spend the nights in hotels and enjoy local food as I pass by. How does it sound? W: It sounds good. You can do a lot of sightseeing, too. So, you're going to have a nice vacation.
