[01:39.40]Can you give me any ideas on where to go?
[01:42.35]I could tell you about the places I've visited such as Hawaii and Mississippi
[01:47.18]but I think you'd better get a professional to make your arrangements.
[01:51.36]Q: What advice did the woman give the man?
[01:53.71]8.W:Didn't you say the other day that you'd like to have a meeting with
[01:58.10]some members of the Journalists Association on Thursday or Friday?
[02:03.19]M: Perhaps I did.
[02:04.68]Come to think of it
[02:05.91]Thursday won't be so good.
[02:07.61]Maybe Friday would be better.n

[02:11.58]Q: What day didn't he take for the meeting?
[02:14.61]9. W: You know, I've done a stupid thing.
[02:17.93]I've locked myself out of my apartment with my key inside.
[02:21.64]M: I do things like that, too.
[02:23.93]Well, you just have to stay here and make yourself comfortable.
[02:27.36]Your husband will be back soon, won't he?
[02:30.13]Q: What happened to the woman?
[02:32.14]10. W: I'm terribly sorry about not getting all the things you needed this morning.
[02:37.44]It must have been very embarrassing.
[02:39.71]I hope you'll forgive me.
[02:41.49]M: Actually, it was partly my fault.
[02:43.74]I should have given you a written list instead of just telling you
[02:47.18]especially as you were so busy at the time
[02:49.90]Anyway,don't worry about it.
