PROBLEM: F: What do you think about this idea? Going for a picnic. ,M: Well, I'm not sure, I think it's a bit boring. I think barbecue on the beach would be more fun. ,F: Yes, I agree, but it's quite a lot of work. Someone has to stand here and cook all night. I think we should go to a restaurant instead. ,M: That's true, but it's quite expensive to go to a restaurant. ,F: Well, what about having a party at someone's house? We could order a pizza or just some hamburgers. ,M: I suppose so, I think a fancy dress party is a good idea. We could have a competition and decide who is wearing the best clothes.
(A) F: I agree with you. Having a picnic is the best idea. (B) F: Yeah. We should have a barbecue on the beach. (C) F: I am afraid I did not quite catch what you were saying. Please repeat it. (D) F: Yeah. We will have a fancy dress party and a barbecue.

SOLUTION: C

PROBLEM: 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.

SOLUTION: A

PROBLEM: M: I need to book a flight online. Can you help me? ,F: Sure. I use a website called Kayak.com. That compares the prices of many different airlines. They also have a cool quality where you can look at flights a few days before and a few days after your scheduled dates to find the best price. ,M: Oh, that quality is very useful. But this is for my aunt and uncle, and their dates are fixed. They're coming out here for my sisters wedding. But they have to fly out the day before and leave the day after. ,F: I see. Where are they coming from? ,M: New York City. Oh, it's not a very long flight. Do you think they care more about prize or convenience? ,F: They definitely want a non-stop flight. They had a bad experience changing planes in Philadelphia once. So they only fly non-stop now.
(A) M: Excuse me, could you repeat the question? (B) M: Yes. My brothers do not have jobs so they care about the price most. We should choose a cheap one. (C) M: You are right. They are coming here for a graduation ceremony and they care about the time most. (D) M: Sure. We will book a non-stop flight for my parents since they care about the stops most.
