Question: M: Vm sorry, but I had car trouble. W: Oh, that's too bad. Couldn't you have telephoned? M: I was going to, but I didn't have any change for a pay phone. W: You could've gotten some change in a store. M: But I was out on the edge of town. There wasn't any place to get change. W: Well, at least you're here now. No need to wait any longer. So, let's get started. What was said before this conversation?
Answer: W: What happened? I've been waiting for almost an hour.
[Q]: M: Only two weeks. W: How far have you been in it? M: Not too far. Just to a picnic. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: W: How beautiful! How long have you had it?
input: Please answer the following: Kids: We had to use the fire extinguisher. Chef Randall: But that's another story. So, anyway, today I'd like to share with you our favorite ... at least my favorite ... chocolate chip cookie recipe. Now, before you switch the TV channel, I know what you are thinking. "Another fattening cookie recipe." But wait. What makes this recipe great is that it offers a wonderful low-fat, low-calorie, low-cholesterol dessert for the entire family. Kids: We still like the fat though. Chef Randall: Well, I know we do. But let's see. We have all the ingredients, so we can start by mixing all of the ingredients, the sugars, the flour, the egg whites, the low-fat butter, vanilla, baking soda, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Then, we add the mini chocolate chips. Now, my kids would like me to add the big ones but we start with the mini-chocolate chips. And don't forget to preheat the oven to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit). And finally, when the cookies are done, take them out of the oven, remove them from the cookie sheet, and let them cool before their fingers get into them. Did I forget anything? Kids: Yeah, if you have college-age kids, be sure to make a few extra batches they can take back to school for their roommates. And don't forget the kids still at home. Chef Randall: Oh, well yeah. We can't do that. We can't forget them. And unfortunately, by the time your kids get the cookies, you, the cook, will be left with a single cookie - your instant diet plan for you - and a dirty kitchen. So, that's all for today. On next week's show, we will be showing you how to feed hungry teenagers on a budget without having to sell the family car. Until then. What was said before this conversation?

output: Chef Randall: Well, hello everyone, and welcome to today's show. And joining me today is my daughter, Ashley, who has had to endure my cooking experiments over the years. Are we ready, Ashley? [Ready to eat.] No, let's wait for a few minutes. We'll get to that. But as you know, my faithful listeners, I starting cooking and baking almost 30 years ago when my grandmother taught me in her humble kitchen. In fact, she taught almost me everything I know, and I've never attended cooking classes [You should have ...] Wait, wait, wait ... I know my daughter's going to mention to you faithful listeners that recently as I was helping the kids prepare for our kitchen for chicken meal, I forgot to take the chicken out of the oven, burned the bird to a crisp, and we ended up ordering pizza for dinner.
Please answer this: W: Well, we were thinking about going on the voyage to the Caribbean Sea. It's a beautiful part of the world. M: It certainly is. I went on one last year. But the weather can sometimes be really bad. W: I know. I have been reading weather reports for the Caribbean on the internet. They seem to have lots of storms. M: They certainly do. When we went on a voyage, we stopped at Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. And both had been hit by storms two weeks before. You could still see a lot of damage. W: Well, if I decide to go, I'll just have to hope for the best. What was said before this conversation?

Answer: M: Where are you going on vacation this year?
Problem: W: Since 1982. But when I went there in 1982, I planned to stay for only 6 months. M: Why did you change your mind? W: Well, I'm a designer. I design leather goods, mainly shoes, and handbags. Soon after I arrived in Florence, I got a job with one of Italy's top fashion houses, Ferregamo. So, I decided to stay. M: How lucky! Do you still work for Ferregamo? W: No, I've been a freelance designer for quite a long time now. Since 1988, in fact. M: So, does that mean you design for several different companies now? W: Yes, that's right. I've designed many fashion items for a number of Italian companies, and during the last four years, I've also been designing for the British company, Burberry's. M: What have you been designing for them? W: Mostly handbags, and small leather goods. M: Has the fashion industry in Italy changed since 1982? W: Oh, yes. It has become a lot more competitive. Because of quality of products from other countries has improved a lot. But the Italian quality and design is still world-famous. M: And do you ever think of returning to live in England? W: No, not really. Working in Italy is more interesting. I also love the Mediterranean sun and the Italian life style. M: Well, thank you for talking to us, Susan. W: It was a pleasure.

input: Please answer the following: W: It's right there in the cupboard with your other ties. M: There's a green one and a couple of brown ones, but no red one. W: Here it is in your drawer. You must have put it there when you brought it home. M: I suppose so. We'd better hurry up or we're going to be late. The Smiths said to come at 7:00. W: Oh, it's 6:24 now. Sue isn't here to take care of the children yet. M: She shall be here at 6:40. That still gives us time to get there. W: Who else is coming tonight? M: The Browns and the Franks. And Mrs. Johnson's sister will be there too. W: Well. I think we'd better go down. Sue should be here pretty soon. What was said before this conversation?
