question:
M: Hello, Clark Cycle here. How can I help you? ,F: Oh, hello. I saw your ad in the local paper and I'm wondering what kinds of bikes you have, and what your prices are like? ,M: Well, we hire out 3 main types of machine, electric touring and mountain bikes. Are you likely to be riding off-road, do you think? ,F: No, I'll probably be sticking to roads. So, we're touring bike would be best. ,M: Right, well the rate will be 50 pounds for a week or 14 pounds per day. ,F: So it's a lot cheaper to rent by the week. Is there anything else I'd have to pay? ,M: Well, for another 5 pounds, we can supply lightweight bags. There is no charge for things like a pump or for a lock. It's a good strong one, just make sure you don't lose the key.

question:
F: Hello, Karl. I haven't seen you since we both went to university. ,M: Good to see you, Laura. I'm just back home for a few days. ,F: Me too. How are you finding it studying in a foreign country? ,M: I had to find my own accommodation, although the university was very helpful and gave me a list of apartments so it wasn't that hard. The language isn't a problem because my course is taught in English. But understanding the other students' jokes isn't easy.
(A) F: No way! Bob, your English is pretty good, I can' t believe you find hard to do the course in English. (B) F: Why do you find hard to find your accommodation? Why doesn't your university give you a list of apartments? (C) F: Oh my god! I totally agree with you, to understand other students' jokes is also a hard thing for me.
