Q: F: Hello Martin, long time no see. I heard you went to France to study, how was that? ,M: I was only there for a year, then I took a year off to travel around Europe. ,F: Where did you go? ,M: I went to Switzerland first and then Germany in Austria. I was planning to end my trip in Italy, but it didn't work out. ,F: Oh well, is it good to be back? ,M: Of course, but I'm returning to France to finish my degree. It's a four-year program.

Q: F: The children have been playing in the mountains for a long time. Why haven't they come back? I am really worried about them. ,M: Look at the sky. Black clouds are gathering and strong winds are blowing. It seems a heavy rain will fall soon. ,F: They haven't brought anything to protect themselves. They will be caught in the rain I think. ,M: Don't be worried too much about them. Anyhow, they're old enough now. They ought to be able to take care of themselves. ,F: I'm afraid they will catch a cold if they are caught in the rain. You see it's a little cold now.
(A) M: I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Could you say it again? (B) M: Don't worry, they will not be caught in the heavy rain. It is sunny outside. (C) M: You can ask them if they pass the exams directly, they are in their bedrooms. (D) M: Don't worry about the children, they won't be caught in the heavy rain.

Q: F: Ah, there you are, Jason. ,M: Yes, Mrs Morris. ,F: I want you to take the mini bus down to the airport and pick up some of our new academic staff. Can you do that? ,M: Sure. ,F: Remember, they'll be expecting someone to pick them up, so you just need to take a sign with you. ,M: OK, um, you'd better tell me exactly who they are, and what they look like, just in case. ,F: Well, first is Andy Jefferson, he's going to be our new IT lecture. ,M: What does he look like? ,F: He's a tall thin bearded guy, very energetic. If he misses you he'll probably be running around looking for you. And Nancy Mather is arriving shortly after. She's a slim lady with long, dark hair. You shouldn't miss her either. She's very short, tiny in fact. ,M: What she going to teach? ,F: She'll be the new mathematics lecture. Finally, this term, we're starting a new industrial arts program. And doctor Keating is going to be the professor. He's oh around average height, I guess, middle aged guy with brown hair.
(A) M: Mathematics lecturer Nancy Mather is a tiny woman. OK, I remember now. (B) M: After I meet Andy, I'll look for our new IT lecturer Nancy Mather. (C) M: It shouldn't be difficult to find the new mathematics lecturer Nancy, since you say she is very tall. (D) M: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly?
