Q: M: Maybe instead of studying in your dorm, you'd better go some place where there are fewer distractions.  What was said before this conversation?
A: W: I've been studying all the time, but I still can't see any improvement in my grades.
Question: W: It doesn't matter. I've read it.  M: I've tried to get another copy but couldn't find one.  What was said before this conversation?
Answer: M: I'm terribly sorry. I lost the magazine you lent me the other day.
[Q]: W: Hi, Jason. I haven't heard from you in a while.  M: Well. I've been busy. I've started my own company.  W: Wow, what kind of business is it?  M: Just a small on-line store. I am hiring staff and I want you to come to work for me.  W: Actually, I just got started working at the old company again.  M: Oh, I didn't realize you were going back.

[A]: M: Hi, Kathy, it's Jason.
input: Please answer the following: W: (from a distance) I'm coming. Walt a moment. (nearer) Eric, I'm here. What's the matter?  M: Look, Sally. Here's a job advertisement. "Start a new life with Exco Exports Ltd. as personal assistant to our managing director!" Perhaps it's the job you want.  W: Personal assistant to the managing director? Yes, it is! Eric, would you like to read it for me?  M: It's my pleasure! Now, listen--"We will give the right person £ 3,500 pa for a 45-hour week, free training, the chance to join a pension scheme, 3 weeks' holiday per year and a company car! Canteen facilities are also available."  W: It sounds not so good. Only £ 3,500 every year. I think the salary is fairly low. The working hours seem too long, you see, a 45-hour week. Oh, my dear! And the holidays are short too, only 3 weeks.  M: But you're interested in this type of job. Since you have no job now, you can treat it as one of your choices.  W: Hm, you are right. OK, I'll write down the address. Eric, please repeat it to me.  M: "Box 4032, London".  W: Good, the company's in London. I don't want to work out of this city.  M: Look, there is another point maybe you will be attracted by.  W: Yes. Ah, just now, auntie Jenny called me.  M: Really? What did she say?  W: She told me there's a job opening for a secretarial position in her company. She asked me to apply for it.  M: Sounds good. Would you like to try?  W: I am interested in the work, but you know, her company is in the city of Edinburgh. So I thanked her and wrote down the address only.  M: How kind she is!  W: Yes, she is very kind... Oh, she invited us to her villa to attend her birthday party this Saturday.  M: Sure we are going to attend it. But what present should we take? How about a bottle of wine, or...  W: Eric! Look, here's another job advertisement.  M: What is it?  W: Listen: "Join one of the world's fastest growing companies: Exco Imports Lid."  M: How about the work?  W: (go on) "We are looking for a personal assistant to help our managing director."  M: Another personal assistant...  What was said before this conversation?

Please answer this: M: Not too bad. But I'm sure I made some mistakes in the science paper and maths paper.  W: Me, too. The science paper was not easy this time, was it?  M: It seems that our new science teacher likes to give us tough exams.  W: I have the same feeling. He looks only 25 or so.  M: Maybe he hopes to make us pay more attention to his lessons in this way.  W: Really?  M: Well. I'm only joking.  What was said before this conversation?
