Read the below conversation. W: And I realized we were completely lost, but at least we got there in the end. M: Funny you should say that because, er, a similar thing happened to me one time when I was abroad. We were actually doing a concert in this bar in Germany. W: Really? M: I was actually about to appear on stage, you know, with the band, and I just thought, "I'll just go out for a little walk and get some fresh air," 'cause I had about half an hour before we had to go on. W: Uh-huh. M: And I went outside,you know,had a look around, walked around for a bit... and then I decided to go back and, uh, I couldn't find it! It was about two minutes before we were supposed to start. W: No, you're joking! M: Yeah! I thought, "Ah! What am I gonna do?" W: Could you ask for directions? M: Well, I tried. I asked an old woman, but she didn't speak English, and I don't speak German... W: Don't you? Oh, right. M: And then, I realized I couldn't remember the name of the bar, or the street it was on or anything. So, you know, I was in the middle of a town I didn't know, not knowing the language... and luckily, I saw someone wearing one of our T-shirts. He was obviously going to the conceit, so I sort of followed him back to the bar. W: Wow, that was lucky! Thank goodness! What would the listener say?

Answer: M: And when I got there, the guys were like, "Where have you been? We thought you'd run out on us!" Anyway, we managed.
Q: Read the below conversation. M: Hi, are you being helped? W: No, I'm not. I'm interested in some gloves. M: All our gloves are here. What do you think of this pair here? It's made of silk. W: Hm, it looks nice, but I'd like to have something warm for the winter. M: Maybe you would like heavy wool gloves. How about this pair? W: I think that's what I want. How much is it? M: It's... forty dollars. W: It's a little expensive. Do you think it's possible to get a discount? M: Hm, since you like it so much, how about a 10 percent discount. That's the best I can offer. W: That's good. M: Is there anything else I can get for you, a pair of socks? What would the listener say?
A: W: No, that should be it. Thank you.

input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. W: Good morning, Mr. Jacob. Is everything all tight? M: No, it's not. Someone's stolen some of my valuables two rings and a gold necklace. W: I'm very sorry to hear that, sir. Where were they? M: In my room. And the door was locked. It can only be one of your staff. I want my things back. And fast. W: Well, I can certainly understand that you're upset about losing them and we'll do all we can to help. If they really are missing,it's a matter for the police. M: What do you mean, if they are missing? I told you they were. W: Yes, Sir. But first I'll have one of the housekeeping staff look through your room in case they're still there.
