I've been waiting for you a long time and longing to know what you think of it. ,F: It is very interesting and I've learned a lot from it. ,M: Well, so it is with me.
(A) F: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly? (B) F: It is very boring. (C) F: You are interesting. (D) F: It's just so-so.

SOLUTION: A

PROBLEM: M: Hi, what's up with you? ,F: Fine. ,M: What did you do today? ,F: I stayed at home for a whole day. ,M: Really? No good weather outside? What's the time now there? ,F: It's 10:00 pm. It rained for almost 2 weeks. The weather today is terrible, too. ,M: Oh. It's just before 9:00 am here and it's snowing outside. Have you received my gift? ,F: Yes, thank you. I really enjoyed the pictures you sent me. ,M: I am glad you like them. They were taken in Orange Park last month. It is a wonderful place and worth a visit. There are many kinds of stones and the ticket to it is free.
(A) F: I didn’t hear you. Please could you tell me again? (B) F: Really? The photos you sent to me were taken in Orange Park last week? (C) F: OK, I see. It is not a wonderful place and nor worth a visit. But I want to say the stone you sent to me are very beautiful. (D) F: Wow, it sounds great. And I really love the photos you sent to me.

SOLUTION: D

PROBLEM: F: I know you pay a lot of attention to exercise in your daily life. Could you tell me something about exercise? ,M: OK. I'm just interested in exercise. The importance of exercise is nothing new. Thomas Jefferson once wrote that to be successful and academic studies, a person should give about 2 hours everyday to exercise. ,F: 2 hours every day? I can't do that. ,M: Most experts today do not demand 2 hours of daily exercise. They recommend that people get 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity most days of the week. ,F: How does exercise do good to our health? ,M: For example, brisk walking, jogging and swimming are easy ways to boost your heart rate and promote your health. Exercise can also help to lower blood pressure and counter stress. For women, exercise that makes the body and bones bear weight, like walking or running may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life.
(A) F: Alright, though brisk walking can help make more friends, it is pretty tough, I don't think it will suit me. (B) F: Although swimming can boost my heart rate, you said it is a pretty hard way, so I don't think I will swim. (C) F: I didn’t hear you. Please could you tell me again? (D) F: Really? If swimming can boost my heart rate, I think I'll try it.
