M: Yes. Do you have any more tickets for the concert on Friday night? W: Do you mean the Rock'n'Roll Revival Show? Yes, we still have some $30 tickets left. M: Great. OK, and is the box office open now? W: Yes, the box office is open from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm. M: Oh, by the way, what time does the show start? W: It starts at 8:00 in the evening. M: And what time does it end? W: Well, there are four bands, so it'll probably end at about midnight. M: Thanks a lot. W: No problem. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: W: Madison Square Garden. Can I help you?

W: In just two weeks, and I am excited. I've been looking forward to this training program for a long time. But there are still a few things I need to do before I go. M: Like what? W: Like renewing my passport and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I'm gone. M: You are not going to give it up, are you? W: No way! I'll never find another apartment like it around here. But I don't like the idea of paying three months for an empty apartment, either. So, I'm looking for someone to take it while I'm away. M: Um, let me think. Oh, I know just a person. An old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas. He is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to August. W: Well, that's exactly when I'll be away! M: Tell you what: I'll be calling Jim late this week anyway, so I'll mention it to him. W: Well, thanks, Bill. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: M: You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe, Dorothy. When are you leaving?

W: I know. This is very unusual for Japan. Usually by now, it's really hot and humid. I'm not sure why, but this summer we've had very little rain and surprisingly cool temperatures. M: Well, either way I love it. I remember last summer. Oh, it was terrible. I didn't have an air-conditioner, and my apartment was on the fifth floor. Every night I slept on top of my bed with the windows wide-open and a fan six inches from my face. W: That sounds pretty tough. I guess I've gotten used to the heat, so I don't notice it as much. However, last year was definitely a lot hotter than this year. And, to be honest, I am enjoying the break. What are summers like for you back home? M: For one thing, there's little humidity. Seattle is right on the ocean so we always have a nice offshore breeze blowing in, and it doesn't really get hot until late July. That's why I found it so oppressive last year. Our summers are just so different. W: Interesting. Seattle sounds like a great place to be during the summer. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: M: You know the weather's been awful so far this summer.

W: Yeah, and I hear it's heading our way. We're supposed to get the same thing tonight. What was said before this conversation?
Ans: M: Did you hear about the big snow storm in Iowa yesterday? Three feet and twelve hours.
