    Q: What does the man mean?

    Q: What do we learn from this conversation?

    6. M: Sherry, how are you doing with your thesis?
    W: Oh my thesis. That’s something I definitely don’t want to talk about right now. I finished my draft some time ago. But my supervisor said I should do more research if I want to achieve the quality that he expects of me.
    Q: What do we learn from the conversation about the woman’s thesis?

    7. W: I can’t believe Karen is late for such an importance occasion as a job interview.  I reminded her time and again yesterday.
