(A) F: Well, we are living in the center of the city, so since today we are going to the countryside, I think it will take a long time to go there. (B) F: I’m sorry, I didn’t understand. Could you repeat a little louder, please? (C) F: That's awesome, but you know we are living out of the city, so perhaps I'll be late for a few minutes fot the aerobics class. (D) F: That's great, but you know we are living out of the city, so perhaps I'll be late for a few minutes.

SOLUTION: D

PROBLEM: F: I finished the report. May I leave the office early today? I have to pick up my parents at the airport. ,M: But you are supposed to meet Mr.Black at 4:00 o'clock, aren't you? Can't you ask somewhere else to go to the airport?
(A) F: But I have already finished writing the report. Why can I go pick up my parents at the train station? (B) F: Oh, I forgot about that. I will meet Mr. Black then. (C) F: Just a minute! I do not quite follow what you are saying, would you mind repeating that? (D) F: OK, I'll ask Mary to pick up my parents at the train station then.

PROBLEM: F: I'm really looking forward to going camping this summer, Jason. When I get into the forest, I feel like I can finally relax. It's better than any beach. ,M: Me too, Sarah. I can't wait to sit by a fire and sleep in the forest under the stars. The one thing I find stressful, however, is the packing. ,F: Why is that? ,M: We have to bring sleeping bags, clothes, food, water, games and so much more, but we don't have enough room in our car for extra stuff. It's really frustrating.
(A) F: I didn’t hear you. Please could you tell me again? (B) F: Yeah, we don't have sleeping bags to take, so it'll be a challenge to sleep outside. (C) F: We have so many things to pack. That's why I'm not looking forward to camping. (D) F: The packing list is long and the car is not big enough. Yes, that is really annoying.
