question:
M: Let's discuss your education background. You were an English major, weren't you? ,F: Yes, that's right. But I liked French best. ,M: Fine, and could you tell me what kind of work experience you've had? ,F: My last position was with Lumison Marten. That was from two thousand and five to two thousand and nine. That's a law firm in Sacramento. Before that I worked for a bishop in Baldwin. That was from two thousand and three to two thousand and five. ,M: Could you tell me what kind of salary you are expecting? ,F: Well, in my last job, I was making $1,500 a month. I understand that this position has a starting salary of around $1,600 a month. ,M: That's right. ,F: That would be fine with me. What I care about most is if the company provides opportunities for further education.
(A) M: So you don't care about the salary at all because in your last job you earned $150 a month. (B) M: You mean the further education is your greatest concern. (C) M: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly? (D) M: So your greatest concern is paid leaves because you don't like French at all.

question:
F: Oh, it's so nice to be out of the cinema. It was so hot in there. I thought I melt. ,M: Terrible, wasn't it? Well, what did you think of Madame Curie? Do you think it is as good as the review said? ,F: It's a good film, but not as good as the book. I think some of the story was missing in the film. ,M: Yes, but you couldn't possibly fit everything that happens in a 200 page novel into a 2 hour film. There simply isn't the time. ,F: I know, but the director should at least try to follow the story. With this film, he left out some important people and even changed the end. ,M: Well, perhaps he thought he was improving the story, Karen.
(A) F: He did. His film is far more realistic than the book. I like it. (B) F: I am really sorry, I did not catch that. Would you slow down, please? (C) F: Obviouesly, the book is better than the film, though he changed nothing. (D) F: He might. But I still like the original book than the film.
