PROBLEM: F: I'm really looking forward to going camping this summer, Jason. When I get into the forest, I feel like I can finally relax. It's better than any beach. ,M: Me too, Sarah. I can't wait to sit by a fire and sleep in the forest under the stars. The one thing I find stressful, however, is the packing. ,F: Why is that? ,M: We have to bring sleeping bags, clothes, food, water, games and so much more, but we don't have enough room in our car for extra stuff. It's really frustrating. ,F: That's why I want a car with far more enough space like Marie Antonis. They store all their camping things inside. ,M: Yeah, sounds like we have to save up money for a new car.
(A) F: Marie wants a new car like ours, which can store almost everything. (B) F: Just a minute! I do not quite follow what you are saying, would you mind repeating that? (C) F: Tony, we already have a big car. You don't need to buy a new one. (D) F: You agree, right? I've been looking for an appropriate new car.

PROBLEM: M: Cindy, the date of the computer meeting has been set for next Tuesday. Could you do me a favor and call the hotel to book a room? ,F: Sure, I will take care of it right away. But what are you going to do about the appointment you had planned with Mr. Nolan? Do you want me to call him and cancel? ,M: Oh, I completely forgot all about him. You know, I can't miss this appointment with him. It's too important. On second thought, I think I'd better send Sally to New York to attend the meeting. She's been working on the speech with me for a long time, and she should be able to give the speech in my place.
(A) F: I am afraid I did not quite catch what you were saying. Please repeat it. (B) F: So, your problem is you forgot about an appointment but it's not very important? Okay, I see. (C) F: OK, I see. Your problem is you forgot about an appointment and you think is too important. (D) F: Really?You can miss this appointment with him and your problem is you have no time to prepare for a speech?
