W: It might be a good idea to read some easy articles first. You will enjoy them more and be able to read fast. M: That's a good idea. Thank you for your advice. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: M: Good morning. I would like to borrow some novels in English. What kind of books would you recommend?

M: Thank you. It's a photo that I took on my vacation last year. W: You took it yourself? M: I've been taking pictures for years. W: Sounds interesting. Can I see some more of your pictures? M: Yes, certainly. Some of them are just faces of people who interest me. W: Do you let them know that you're taking pictures of them? M: I try not to. I like people who are going about their business without knowing the camera is there. W: I suppose you need a lot of equipment. M: Well, I have a dozen cameras, but I use two of them more than the others. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: W: I like that picture you put up on the wall yesterday.

Driver: Where to? Passenger: Well, I'm going to the National Museum of Art, and .... Driver: Sure. Hop in. No problem. Hang on! Passenger: Uh. Excuse me. How long does it take to get there? Driver: Well, that all depends on the traffic, but it shouldn't take more than twenty minutes for the average driver. [Oh]. And I'm not average. I have driving down to an art, so we should be able to cruise through traffic and get there in less than fifteen minutes. Passenger: Okay. Uh, sorry for asking [Yeah?], but do you have any idea how much the fare will be? Driver: Oh, it shouldn't be more than 18 dollars ... not including a ... uh-hum ... a tip of course. Passenger: Oh, and by the way, do you know what time the museum closes? Driver: Well, I would guess around 6:00 O'clock. Passenger: Uh, do you have the time? Driver: Yeah. It's half past four. [Thanks] Uh, this IS your first time to the city, right? Passenger: Yeah. How did you know? Driver: Well, you can tell tourists from a mile away in this city because they walk down the street looking straight up at the skyscrapers. Passenger: Was it that obvious? Driver: Well ... Passenger: Oh, before I forget, can you recommend any good restaurants downtown that offer meals at a reasonable price? Driver: Umm ... Well, the Mexican restaurant, La Fajita, is fantastic. [Oh] It's not as inexpensive as other places I know, but the decor is very authentic, [Okay] and the portions are larger than most places I've been to. Passenger: Sounds great! How do I get there from the museum? Driver: Well, you can catch the subway right outside the museum. There are buses that run that way, but you would have to transfer a couple of times. And there are taxis too, but they don't run by the museum that often. Passenger: Okay. Thanks. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: Passenger: Hey Taxi! Ah great. Thanks for pulling over.

M: I sure did. Why did you ask me about that? W: Well, I'm thinking about taking it next year. I want to know something about it beforehand. M: As far as I'm concerned, I suggest that you not take it. W: Why not? Is the professor awful or is the lecturing boring? M: The professor is nice enough. But the course is nothing but physics and chemistry with lots of equations. You can't just mix the right chemicals and watch what happens. As you go along you have to keep care notes and turn it all into a bunch of numbers and formulas after the experiment is over. It was the worst course I've ever taken. W: What you say is no problem for me. To tell you the truth, [ like formulas and numbers. That's what I'm different from you. M: Is it? Then you'll love it if it is the case. But all that I was interested in was biology and we didn't get to that till the last three weeks of the class. What a year! What was said before this conversation?
Ans: W: Oh! I am glad to see you. How are you going recently? They say you took Introduction to Seience, didn't you?
