(A) M: Really? You don't think you are old and sick to travel? And you refuse my invitation because you haven't prepared for the trip? (B) M: OK, I see.

question:
M: My program is a course in automotive repair. We teach people from the age of 16 through to adults. We're located on a high school campus. It's vocational, which means that we train people in specific skills that they could use in a job. ,F: I like classes, because it's more like the real world than when you're sitting there reading a textbook, not knowing what you're going to be using it for. ,M: Today's a work day. So when I go back into the shop, I have all my students working on a project. First, Jack is going to get the air tools out and jack up a car. He's going to take a tyre off that car with the air impact. Every student is an individual that comes into my program. All of them think that they're going to be able to fix their own cars. They all have it as a goal that they're going to get out of the program. And then, as part of my introduction to the class, I'll let them know some of the other things that they'll all get, which include consumer understanding of how the car works.
(A) F: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly? (B) F: Uh, I think people always want to keep themselves fit, that's why they will join the fitness class. (C) F: Well, I understand why people want to teach the course, because people usually want more interaction in this literature course. (D) F: Alright, so that's why people always want to build a garage in their house, they just want to fix their own cars.

A


question:
M: Is there anything wrong? ,F: I am worried about my daughter. She hasn't made a decision about college. ,M: Don't worry, that's just part of being a teenager. ,F: I don't actually mind that. But she disagrees with me about everything. ,M: You should encourage her to make up her mind by herself instead of trying to tell her what to do and what not to do. ,F: But I just want to give her some tips. ,M: She can make her own decision. Believe her! ,F: I guess you're right.
(A) M: Really? You mean you guess I am not right? But I really suggest you should leave your daughter alone! (B) M: Yeah, I mean you should encourage your daughter to make her own decision although she cannot make her own decision. (C) M: I’m sorry, I didn’t understand. Could you repeat a little louder, please? (D) M: Yeah, I suggest that you should give your daughter some tips. And don't believe her, as she cannot make her own decision.
