question:
F: Dad, look at this friendship quiz. ,M: Why don't you try it? The first question, how often do you get in touch with your friends? ,F: Hmm... My friends aren't in the same secondary school as me, and I dislike ringing people up. I don't call my friends, even once a week. ,M: That means seldom. Secondly, how many friends can you talk with when you are upset? ,F: Oh, I can't think of any. I usually talk with you or mom when I feel sad. ,M: Poor Susan, you can't rely on us all the time. The last question, your friend wants to talk with you. Where would you have the talk? ,F: Well, we can't talk in the classroom. Maybe I would talk to her in a shopping center. We can talk and shop at the same time.
(A) M: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly? (B) M: All right. So you talk with your teacher in a shopping center. (C) M: All right. So you only talk with your friend in a classroom. (D) M: All right. So you only talk with your friend in a cafe.

question:
M: Well, how was your honeymoon? ,F: It was fantastic! We had such a good time. The only problem was that because it was their high season, we spent hours queuing. ,M: Peak periods always involve hours of queuing. At least you got a nice tan though. ,F: Yes, Florida had great weather while we were there. You looked tanned too! Did you go somewhere? ,M: My friends and I just got back from Bali. ,F: Wow! Bali has some of the best beaches in the world, doesn't it? ,M: Yes, we were lucky. My friends father owns a resort on one of the islands. So we were able to stay for free. ,F: Did you go diving while you were there? ,M: I took a few diving classes before. But I didn't really like it. So I played table tennis instead. ,F: Did you take any pictures in the ocean? ,M: I've got quite a few pictures of all different kinds of fish. I'll show them to you next time I see you.
