M：Hi, Jenny. Why have you come to school an hour earlier？
W： I want to get a front row seat and review my lessons one more time before the test because I failed a course last term. Why are you here so early, Jack？

W: Didn't you see him?
M: No, I didn't. I looked in my driving mirror and there was no one coming. Not only that, I also looked in the big mirror on the other side of the road.
W: So he must have been coming very fast.
M: That's right. And he went straight into me.

I flew to New York to take care of some business with Mr. Smith. But as soon as I arrived, I got sick, and could not meet with him. I had to call our appointment off. Then when I felt better, I thought about visiting him at his home, but he lived too far away. I tried to telephone him during office hours, but he was busy. His secretary said that Mr. Smith would call me back, but he didn't. I gave up trying to make a new appointment because it would take more time and efforts than I wanted to spend.  A few days later, I saw a man on the street who looked like Mr. Smith, and I called out to him. It was someone else. When I returned to my hotel that day, I found a message which said that Mr. Smith had gone out of town on some sudden unexpected business. I was sorry that I had missed seeing him, but I was really enjoying my sightseeing in New York.
