question:
F: I have been having a lot of trouble managing my time. I always forget my test and homework, due dates and I can never find the right notes I need. I heard that you're really organized. Do you think you could help me? ,M: Sure, I'd be happy to help. First of all, you need to get a planner, like this one. It's a small notebook in calendar where you can write down all the important dates you need to remember. Then you should create some sort of filing system to organize your notes. I use different colored files to keep the papers for my different classes.
(A) F: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly? (B) F: Really? You mean you'd not be happy to help me? Oh, we are classmates. (C) F: So, you mean first I don't need to get a planner? Okay, I will take your advice, teacher. (D) F: Oh, you are the considerate classmate. I will take your advice. Thank you.

question:
M: I have read Mark Twain's book, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. It's quite interesting and adventurous. ,F: But this book I'm reading is kind of boring. It only tells you some facts about Mark Twain. ,M: Oh, tell me something about Mark Twain, please. ,F: Well, when Mark Twain was 4, his family moved to Hannibal, a port town on the Mississippi River that gave him the idea for writing the book, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. ,M: Oh, really? Anything else? ,F: In eighteen fourty-seven, when Twain was 11 years old, his father died. The next year, he began to learn printing. When he was 18, he worked as a printer in New York City. ,M: What happened next? ,F: Then on a voyage to New Orleans, the steamboat pilot, Horace, inspired Twain to become a pilot. And Mark Twain really received his steamboat pilot license in eighteen fifty-nine, after 2 years of hard work.

question:
F: Well, Jack. Take a seat, please, and where does your enthusiasm for sports come from? ,M: Um, let me think, it's difficult to choose one thing in particular, I grew up around sport. My best friend Mike likes sports. My mom was a really good athlete actually. ,F: Oh yes. ,M: We used to go and see her running marathons, which made a big impression on me as a child. I suppose it's in my blood. ,F: Right, fantastic. And how do you think teachers can encourage their students to enjoy sports? ,M: Em, that's an interesting question. On one hand, I think many students enjoy the competitive activities. They want to be the best and it's motivating for them. On the other hand, we need to encourage the ones were not as confident, so we need to reward them for participating in trying their best. It's not all about winning.
