Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?
12.M: We’ll be here in London sitting in a newspaper office or teaching in a classroom full of chalk dust.
W: Well, George, you’ll be able to go out in the sunshine sometimes. You are a journalist. I’m the one who has to stay in the classroom. Don’t forget.
Q: What is the woman’s profession?
13.W: Do you think you could give me a ride to the library tonight?

Q: What does the woman imply?
17.W: Bob, shall I cut your hair for you?
M: You must be kidding. Last time you almost made me bald.
Q: What does the man imply?
18.M: This scarf is nice, but Debbie really wanted a sweater for her birthday.
