What's that? ,F: This kind of school is good at helping people to improve their English. ,M: Is that different from our school's English course? ,F: Yes. Before you start your training, they will test you on your English first. ,M: Then? ,F: Then they will recommend you the class that suits you. ,M: Really? How good can my English get there? ,F: You see how well I am doing. I studied there, too. ,M: Alright. I'll tell my father about it.

D


question:
F: What's all that screaming about? ,M: I just poured some ice water on Amy, while she was in the hot shower, you should have seen her face. ,F: You shouldn't tease your sister so much. ,M: Aaah it was just a joke mom. ,F: You take it too far sometimes Matt, if my brother had been like you when I was growing up, I would have gone crazy. Remember the time you replaced her toothpaste with hot pepper? And when you put salt in her cake, that was just before her tenth birthday. ,M: Sorry about that mom, that was a little too much. But Amy likes my jokes, she always laughs about it afterwards. ,F: She does have a good sense of humor. You are lucky she loves you so much. My brother and I weren't as close. He was 5 years older and if he teased me, I always felt hurt. It's good that you and Amy are only one year apart in age.
(A) M: I am afraid I did not quite catch what you were saying. Please repeat it. (B) M: My classmate Linda is so humorous. Unlike Amy, she always makes jokes on me. (C) M: I think the distance between Amy and I is mainly due to the generation gap. After all, I am 10 years older than her. (D) M: I knew I was wrong mom. Amy is so humorous and I truly enjoy my time with her.
