PROBLEM: M: Did you hear the 6:00 o'clock news? ,F: No, I didn't, was there anything interesting? ,M: They've built another space station. They will send it up sometime next year. ,F: Oh, I've read about the plans somewhere. ,M: Just think, astronauts will live and do research work there. ,F: Really, but I wonder why you're so interested in such things. ,M: I've always been. I hope to go to the moon, one day.
(A) F: OK, I see. You mean you are interested in such news just because you hope to go to the moon, right? (B) F: Excuse me, could you repeat the question? (C) F: You are interested in such news just because you hope to go to the moon? Well,  I've never read about the plans. (D) F: You are interested in such news just because you want to do research in space? But they've not built another space station.

PROBLEM: M: Hey Lindaï¼ did you get that letter about the new options for food service next year? ,F: Not yet, are there a lot of changes? ,M: There sure are, instead of paying one feet to cover all meals for the whole school year. We are now able to choose how many meals a week we want, and can contract just for that amount. We still have to pay the whole year at the beginning, but we can choose to buy 7, 10, 14 or 21 meals per week. They give you a card with a number of meals you get each week marked on it. ,F: That's a big change Tom, and a complicated system. ,M: Yeah, but it will be much better for people who don't eat 3 meals a day 7 days a week in the cafeteria, because they don't have to pay for meals they don't eat. ,F: So, what's the deal for those who do eat at school all the time? ,M: It better for them, too, because the more meals you contract for, the cheaper each one is. ,F: I see, it still sounds rather complicated. ,M: True, it took me several hours to figure it out. I decided to go with the 10 meal plan. ,F: Why is that? ,M: Well, I never eat breakfast and I often go away on weekends, so the 10 meal plan gives me lunch and dinner every weekday at a fairly low price, and I won't be paying for meals I don't usually eat.
(A) F: You are right. You will benefit from the changes next year. That is good. (B) F: That is true. You will benefit from the changes in our company. It is good. (C) F: I totally understand why you dislike the changes in our company. Do not be sad. (D) F: I am really sorry, I did not catch that. Would you slow down, please?

PROBLEM: F: Hello, this is Elisa speaking. May I speak to John please? ,M: I am sorry, but John is out for lunch. Would you like to leave a message? ,F: Er, when will he come back? ,M: He usually comes back by 1:00 PM. He usually takes a nap before work begins in the afternoon.
(A) F: You mean John is taking a nap during the afternoon work? Well. (B) F: John has had lunch and is now taking a message? Can I wait here?
