Problem: M: You can take a look at this magazine. It has some of the newest styles. W: Er, I like face style. It's pretty. Do you think it suits me? M: Well, do you really want to keep your hair that long? I think you will look better with short hair. W: I'll leave that out to you. I'm ready for a change. M: Do you want to change the color of your hair? It will be shinier in wine red and will light up your face. W: Yeah, I believe so. But would that do much harm to my hair? M: Not really. We have some of the best hair care products. W: Em, maybe on other day. By the way, how much do you charge? M: 80 dollars in total. What was said before this conversation?

Problem: Given the question: M: I worked at a restaurant the whole vacation. It was an exciting experience and I also made enough money for the next term. What did you do in your summer vacation? W: I attended some classes because I fell behind the others last term. I wanted to catch up with them. M: You are great. So have you seen David? W: He dropped out of school completely. M: Really? Why? I haven't seen him for several months. W: He worked at a good company as an assistant and since he did well, they asked him if he wanted to work full time. M: Wow. He's so lucky. He doesn't have a degree and he already has a job. W: It sounds good now, but I wouldn't have done that. I want a degree. What was said before this conversation?

M: It's all right, Rita. Where have you been? W: At the police station. I've lost my handbag. Or perhaps someone's taken it. I don't know. M: Oh, no. What happened? Sit down. Was there anything important in it? W: Important! My checkbook, all the papers I need for work. M: Oh, that's terrible. But how did you lose it? W: Well, as you know, I was with a friend all morning and we had lunch together. After I had lunch, I went shopping. And when I wanted to buy something, I couldn't find my checkbook. Then I remembered that it was in my handbag. And my handbag was in my car. M: So you went back to your car. W: But I didn't find it there. M: And you went to the police station? W: Not immediately. Before I went to the police station I called my friend's office. No luck. M: You should go to the restaurant where you had lunch and look for it. W: Oh, I should have done that. M: Now you'd better telephone the manager right away. What was said before this conversation?

Q: W: Hello, Dr. White, my name's Pan Johnson. My roommate, Janet Holmes, wanted me to call you. M: Janet Holmes? Oh, that's right. She's in my Shakespearean English class. Has anything happened to her? W: Nothing, it's just that she submitted a job application yesterday and the company asked her in for an interview today. She's afraid she won't be able to attend your class this afternoon. I'm calling to see whether it would be OK if I gave you her essay. M: Certainly, that would be fine. Uh, you can either drop it off at my class or bring it to my office. W: Would it be all right to come by your office around 4:00? I'm afraid I can't come any earlier because I have three classes this afternoon. M: Uh, I won't be here when you come. I'm supposed to be at a meeting from 3:00 to 6:00, but how about leaving it with my secretary? She usually stays until 5:00. W: Fine, please tell her I'll be there at 4:00. And Dr. White, one more thing, could you tell me where your office is? Janet told me where your class is, but she didn't give me directions to your office. M: Well, I'm in Room 302 of the Gregory Building. I'll tell my secretary to put the paper in my mail box, and I'll get it when I return. W: I sure appreciate it. Goodbye, Dr. White. M: Goodbye, Ms. Johnson. What was said before this conversation?
