"What's the matter?" "I went to a party last night, so I…"
"I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…"
"Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…"
You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing "is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.
