Q: M: So Alice, when do you begin? ,F: I start on the twenty-first. I'm hoping to hurry to the coast before I'm too busy. ,M: I don't blame you, you're going to be working long hours, and should get a little rest before it all starts. ,F: We don't actually start working on the first day, but there's going to be some hard training. All new volunteers are required to complete 10 days of training, so I do want to get a little play time before that.

(B) M: So, you think the voluntary work is tiring and you do want to get a little play time before training?

Q: M: Hi, there. I'm looking for a jacket for the fall. Do you have any suggestions? ,F: Sure, do you need something that you can wear in the rain or are you looking for something lighter? ,M: Well, it does rain a lot here. What is the difference between the 2? ,F: If you look at this black jacket here, you can see that it is made of heavier material. It has more pockets, too. This green one is much lighter. ,M: So, what if I want something that will protect me from the wind and the rain?
(A) F: So protection from wind and rain is the most important to you. (B) F: So being light and warm are the most important to you. (C) F: I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Could you say it again? (D) F: So protection from wind and rain is not important to you.
