question:
M: So, Gilda. I'm sure we both have to deal with homesickness, because we're so far away from our own country. ,F: Yes, it's very difficult. In special seasons like Christmas or during the Holy Week, it is something that we celebrate a lot and I really feel homesick. ,M: How do you deal with homesickness? ,F: When I feel homesick, I never stay at home alone. One thing I do is that I always try to go for things in the neighborhood. So what do the locals do? Is there anything interesting? And it's a sort of adventure because you're doing something new, so you're kind of replacing something that you used to do by something new. So, in a way, it's nice dealing with homesickness. ,M: Yeah. ,F: What about you? ,M: Well, that's what I was going to say. You said replacing and I also focus myself on other activities, such as playing golf, swimming and watching TV. But what I like best is to go hiking with the friends I've made and we talk a lot.
(A) F: Cool. So swimming is your favorite activity. (B) F: Cool. So go hiking with your friends is your favorite activity. (C) F: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly? (D) F: Cool. So go hiking with your family is your favorite activity.

question:
M: How may I help you? ,F: Hi, I would like to rent a car. ,M: Sure, did you make a reservation? ,F: No, I decided to rent one when I got off the plane just now, is that OK? ,M: Of course. I was just checking, so how many days do you need the car for? ,F: Can I just do 4 days for now and make the rent longer through a phone call later? ,M: In that case, I suggest you go for 7 days, which will give you a 20% discount and if you choose to return the car after 5 days, you can get the rest of your money back. ,F: OK, I will do that. Can I return the car at the train station? ,M: Yes, you can.
