PROBLEM: M: Helen, how do you like your new apartment? ,F: Well, I wish I had moved in, the man who lives upstairs often plays the piano till midnight. I really cannot stand it. ,M: Why don't you ask him to stop? ,F: I've tried, but it doesn't work, he never listens to me. What's worse, he isn't the only one that I cannot stand. The woman who lives next to me often comes over to borrow things, but she seldom returns anything. ,M: Then, don't lend her anything. ,F: Now I don't even open the door when she knocks, but it makes me uncomfortable. I'm afraid I'll have to move again. ,M: You can move in with my sister Susan. The girl Jennifer, who is sharing her apartment has moved out, so she has a free room now. ,F: That's great, your sister is such a good girl. Everyone likes her. I'll call her and move as soon as possible. After all, I need to sleep well at night, in order to do well in the coming exam.
(A) M: Yeah, you never talked to the neighbors before, so it's time to do so. (B) M: I’m sorry, I didn’t understand. Could you repeat a little louder, please? (C) M: Just call her as soon as it's needed. Susan will be happy to help you. (D) M: Sure. I will also call my mom Susan to tell her about your phone call.

This skirt and scarves over here are back in style. ,F: Oh, I'm here to look for a winter coat. ,M: How about this one? It's made of very high-quality wool. ,F: It's nice but actually I need something warmer. This would work if I were staying here in Los Angeles. But it's too light for Chicago winter. ,M: Ah, you need a very heavy coat. Then please follow me. This one here is a good value and is one of our warmest coats. It's also quite fashionable and very comfortable. ,F: Would it be possible to get a discount on it? ,M: Maybe we can give you a 5% discount. ,F: OK. I'll take it. ,M: Can interest you in some gloves?
