Read the below conversation. M: I was half an hour late for work today. There was just too much traffic. W: Yes, there really are too many cars on the road. More people need to carpool. M: Carpool? W: Yeah, you know, a group of people that ride to work together in one car. M: Hey, that's a good idea. How do you join a carpool? W: Well, there is a special phone number you can call. You leave a message with your address and phone number, and then someone calls you back with the names and phone numbers of other people in your area who want to carpool. M: That's really a great idea! How do you know so much about this carpool system, Nancy? What would the listener say?

Answer: W: Me? I called the number for the first time about five years ago. Carpooling is a great way to go to work.

Receptionist: Okay. How about the day after tomorrow on Wednesday at 4:00 O'clock? Ronald: Uh. Do you happen to have an opening in the morning? I usually pick up my kids from school around that time. Receptionist: Okay. Um ... how about Tuesday at 8:00 A.M. or Thursday at 8:15 A.M.? Ronald: Uh, do you have anything earlier, like 7:30? Receptionist: No. I'm sorry.

Ronald: Uh ... Receptionist: Yes sir. Ronald: Well, to tell the truth, I fell from a ladder two days ago while painting my house, and I sprained my ankle when my foot landed in a paint can. I suffered a few scratches on my hands and knees, but I'm most concerned that the swelling in my ankle hasn't gone down yet. Receptionist: Well, did you put ice on it immediately after this happened? Ronald: Well yeah. I just filled the paint can with ice and ... Receptionist: And so after you removed the paint can ... Sir, sir, Mr. Schuller, are you still there? Ronald: Well that's part of the problem. Uh, the paint can is still on my foot. What would the listener say?
A: Receptionist: Look, Mr. Schuller. Please come in today. I don't think your case can wait.

[Q]: Read the below conversation. M: Do you feel like going to the cinema? W: Oh, yes. What kind of films do you like?

I also like mystery film, do you like mystery films? W: Yes, but I don't like horror films because they really give me nightmares. M: I don't like horror films either. They're sort of stupid and unbelievable. I do like crime films, you know, where you can follow the detective and try to guess who the murderer is. W: What about a comedy or musical? M: No, I'm not interested. W: What about ringing up the ABC and find out what's on? Then we can decide. What would the listener say?

[A]: M: OK. That's definitely the best thing we ought to do because I haven't got an evening paper.
Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. W: Gosh! Have you seen this, Richard? M: See what? W: In the paper. It says, there is a man going around pretending he's from the electricity board. He's been calling at people's homes, saying he is coming to check that all their appliances are safe. Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea, and while they are out of the room he steals their money, handbag whatever and makes off with it. M: But you know, Jane, it's partly their own fault. You should never let anyone like that in unless you're expecting them. W: It's all very well to say that. But someone comes to the door, and says electricity or gas and you automatically think they are OK, especially if they flash a card to you M: Does this man have an ID then? W: Yes, that's just it. It seems he used to work for the electricity board at one time. According to the paper the police are warning people especially pensioners not to admit anyone unless they have an appointment. It's a bit sad. One old lady told them she'd just been to the postoffice to draw her pension when he called. She said he must have followed her home. He stole the whole lot. M: But what does he look like? Surely they must have a description. What would the listener say?
