I've got a big brother who's married. His name is Don. ,M: Does your brother Don live near here? ,F: Yes, not very far away. Cathe, his wife, works in the shop over there. They've got a new baby called Liz. I mean Elizabeth really, but we call her Liz. ,M: Is that your mom over there calling you? ,F: No, that's my aunt May, my mother's sister. I'd better go. Bye. ,M: Bye.

question:
F: Oh, Patrick. I can't get this phone to work. Can you help me? ,M: Are you trying to make a call? ,F: Yes, I just got it and I can't get the thing to work. ,M: Let me see. OK, you turn it on. ,F: I didn't turn it on. ,M: No, see you wait for the screen to light up. Then you enter the phone number and press the C button, right here. Got it? ,F: OK. I've got it. Ha! It's ringing. Hi, baby, it's me. Listen, I'm going to be a little late. I'm still at work in the office. OK? I'll be back by about 6:00.
(A) M: I am really sorry, I did not catch that. Would you slow down, please? (B) M: Let's go back to our project. We have to finish it before leaving the office.

question:
M: Are you still learning Chinese? ,F: Yes, but I don't have enough time for it. I have so many other things to do every day. ,M: It is the same with me. I can read Chinese now but I still find it difficult to speak Chinese and I don't always understand people when they speak Chinese to me. ,F: We don't hear Chinese enough I think. Do you listen to the radio from China? ,M: Yes, I listen to the news from China almost everyday. That helps me understand Chinese but not to speak it. ,F: We'd better go to China for a holiday. ,M: Right. That'll be the best way.
(A) F: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly? (B) F: Yes. We'd better find a job in China and live there for a few years. (C) F: Well, I think the best way is to speak Chinese everyday, instead of going there. (D) F: Maybe. I think listening to the news from China once a week helps us speak Chinese.
