question:
F: I have been having a lot of trouble managing my time. I always forget my test and homework, due dates and I can never find the right notes I need. I heard that you're really organized. Do you think you could help me? ,M: Sure, I'd be happy to help. First of all, you need to get a planner, like this one. It's a small notebook in calendar where you can write down all the important dates you need to remember. Then you should create some sort of filing system to organize your notes. I use different colored files to keep the papers for my different classes.
(A) F: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly? (B) F: Really? You mean you'd not be happy to help me? Oh, we are classmates. (C) F: So, you mean first I don't need to get a planner? Okay, I will take your advice, teacher. (D) F: Oh, you are the considerate classmate. I will take your advice. Thank you.

question:
F: How long have you been living in this city, Jack? ,M: Let me see. I came to this city when I was 23 years old. So 5 years now. ,F: Do you like living in the big city? ,M: Not so much. Air pollution has become such a big problem here now. ,F: So do you want to move to the countryside? ,M: No. Life there is really slow and boring, and here in the city we can get fresh vegetables and even some rare kinds of fruit. How I wish the air in the city could be fresher. Perhaps, it could be if there were fewer cars. ,F: I don't think it's that easy to solve the pollution problem. ,M: So, how long have you been living here? ,F: I moved here from the countryside only 2 years ago. ,M: But I'm already tired of the life here? ,F: Do you want to move back to the countryside? ,M: No. As you said, life in the countryside can be boring. ,F: So will you keep living here? ,M: No. I'm considering moving to a smaller city. You know, a city with fresher air and better traffic.
(A) F: I hope you can enjoy yourself when you move to a big city. (B) F: Excuse me, could you repeat the question? (C) F: I hope you can enjoy yourself when you move to a smaller city. (D) F: I hope you can enjoy yourself when you move to a smaller city with heavy traffic.
