Problem: M: I prefer to look like my mother. What was said before this conversation?

A: W: You look like your father than your mother.
Problem: Given the question: W: I'd love to. But I must write some emails. M: Why tonight? W: I haven't written to anyone for months. Sylvia and John must think I've forgotten them. M: You don't have to write. You can call them tomorrow. It's half price on Sundays. W: Yes, I could, couldn't I? All right. I'll do that. What's playing then? M: Let's see. Here we are. The Columbia: In the World. A must for all teenagers. W: No, thank you! M: Central: Children's World. All parents of teenage children ought to see this picture. W: There must be something worth seeing somewhere. M: What about this? John Wayne in Texas, Here I Come. W: I can't stand Westerns. M: Neither can I. Listen, Joan. I've got a better idea... W: Let's stay at home and wash down the kitchen walls! M: Great idea! What was said before this conversation?

The answer is:
M: By the way, would you like to go to the movies this evening?
input question: W: Well, you would like to check the progress of the website-design, right? M: Yes, but it seems that we've got some problems with the BBS. The part-time web designer was not as good as what we had thought before. She informed us just now that she could not complete this task. W: Well, didn't you talk with her about what she should do at the beginning? M: Not really. She was recommended by Sampson and from what he told me, she sounded to be pretty qualified to do the job. I'm not asking for a terrific web design but to build up a structure with all the basic elements of web design. W: Did you ask her why she wasn't frank with you in the beginning if she couldn't do the BBS? M: I did. But she said it was a communication problem. W: So now what do you plan to do since she got the job half done? M: On one side, I will not pay her full fees since she wasn't honest with me in the beginning. On the other side, I have to search around for another guy to complete the job. W: I agree. That should also teach her a lesson. For us, I think we had better turn to our Part-time Job Center for help. There, we can get a professional to work at it. What was said before this conversation????
output answer: M: Hi Jane, please come in and take a seat.
W: Does it have three bedrooms? M: No. There are two. The master bedroom is quite spacious, though. Maybe you could let the children share the larger room, and you and your husband could use the smaller one. W: I suppose that I could do that. M: A three-bedroom apartment will be difficult to find. W: Yes I know. Believe me, I have been looking for over a week. The few three-bedroom apartments that I have found are either extremely expensive or the owner won't allow children. M: Well, the owner allows two children in this apartment complex. W: Aren't you the owner? M: No. I am the manager. I live here, too, on the first floor of this building. W: Oh. That's nice. Then if anything gets broken ... M: Just leave a note on my door, W: You said that the rent would be $ 350 a month. Does that include any of the utilities? M: Yes. It includes gas. Your furnace and stove are gas, so, as you can imagine, your other utilities, electric and water, are quite inexpensive. W: This sounds better and better. But before I sign a lease, I would like my husband to see it. M: Why not stop by with him this evening? W: How late are you open? My husband doesn't get off work until five. M: Come by at six. I will still be in the office. I am sure that you are eager to move from the hotel, and if we get the paperwork out of the way tonight, you can move in tomorrow. W: Oh, that would be wonderful What was said before this conversation?
