Does it cost anything to join? ,F: Well, it's free for students of our college while it is 125 pounds per year or 35 pounds per quarter for the public.
(A) M: I am really sorry, I did not catch that. Would you slow down, please? (B) M: That means if I pay by year, it will save me 15 pounds a year. Sounds good.

question:
M: Diana, can you give me a hand? I'm supposed to place all these new products in the display case, but they'll never fit. ,F: Yeah, I see what you mean. But did Miss Harper mean to put them all on display, or just one of each as a sample for the customers to see? ,M: Oh, I get it! So maybe I should just select a single example of each model instead of one of each color for each model. ,F: Check with Miss Harper first. But in my opinion, that's the only way you'll be able to do it.
(A) M: I manage to put them all in the case, but I can't find Ms.Harper to check. (B) M: It's all because of the limited space. Daisy, throw away these products. (C) M: Well, it's all because there isn't enough room for all the new products. (D) M: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly?

What kind of party? ,M: A disguise party. ,F: Sounds like fun. Where will it be held? ,M: At my place, we're going to decorate the house tomorrow afternoon. ,F: Does Gerald know about the party? ,M: No, we want to surprise him. ,F: I'd love to come, but I'm up to my ears in work. I'm not sure whether I can spare an evening. ,M: Come on Bella, I know you like Gerald, and Gerald thinks highly of you, but you've always been busy, and he's never had the chance to ask you out, you might as well give him an opportunity. ,F: So, am I the surprise of his birthday party? ,M: You could say that. ,F: Alright I'll be there, I guess I better buy him a present this evening.
(A) M: Yeah, you should buy Gerald a gift. By the way, it is a disguise party. (B) M: Yeah, I'm not surprised that you won't come to the party. But you're so kind to help with the decoration.
