My daughter is so upset right now. ,M: Have you called the local dog shelters? ,F: Well, they haven't seen him. They said they would call me if they find our dog, but I don't expect miracles. It's 2 days and... ,M: We can always look for miracles. Does he have any identification on him? ,F: He's wearing his sweater. He's brown with white spots and... Sorry, 'm not thinking straight. You know, he's a big part of our family. We got him when he was a little puppy. I'm just worried he was stolen or is injured somewhere. ,M: I understand. I used to pet dogs, too. Let's walk around the neighborhood. Hey, look! There he is. ,F: Rusty! Come here boy! Oh, Glenn, I can't thank you enough. I owe you a big favor.

PROBLEM: F: OK, I think we have 2 choices of where we can spend our vacation. The first place is a little house. It's located on a fruit farm. But it says there is no air conditioner. ,M: That's OK. It's on the rainy side of the island. It's cooler there. ,F: You're probably right. But there is no washing machine or dryer, not even a TV. ,M: Oh no, no TV? That's terrible. What's our second choice? ,F: It's on the opposite side of the island, a very nice place with a big swimming pool. It's only 3 blocks from the ocean and the pool area also has a beautiful garden. ,M: Wow, it does have everything, washing machine, dryer, TV, refrigerator. All we need is our toothbrushes. Let's go with the second choice. I can't wait to go.
(A) F: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly? (B) F: Yeah, it does have everything, washing machine, dryer, TV, and refrigerator. And it has a big swimming pool! (C) F: Really? You mean we don't need our toothbrushes because the second place provides toothbrushes?
