Secondly, how many friends can you talk with when you are upset? ,F: Oh, I can't think of any. I usually talk with you or mom when I feel sad. ,M: Poor Susan, you can't rely on us all the time. The last question, your friend wants to talk with you. Where would you have the talk? ,F: Well, we can't talk in the classroom. Maybe I would talk to her in a shopping center. We can talk and shop at the same time.

question:
M: So what kind of job did you find for this summer? ,F: I'm working for a marketing company. I'm doing telephone marketing. ,M: Oh, so you are one of those people who drive me crazy by calling me up in trying to persuade me to buy something that I have no need for. Do you like it? ,F: Believe it or not, I do. There are a lot of students working there and we have a lot of fun when we're not making calls. It's really easy since we just have to read from a text.

question:
M: Do you want to go to a big university or a small one? ,F: I think I'd rather go to a small university, so the classes wouldn't be so large. ,M: Do you want to go out of the state or stay here? ,F: I want to stay in the state, so I will be close to home. ,M: It sure would be nice to be close enough to come home on weekends when you want to. How about a public or private university? ,F: Well, I like the atmosphere of a private school. The students are more serious about school and there aren't a lot of parties. ,M: Yes, but private universities are so expensive. How are you going to pay for it? ,F: I've applied for a music scholarship, and my parents will be able to help me pay for some of the expenses. What about you? What are you going to do after graduation?
(A) M: Sounds great. You are so luck that your parents will pay all the expenses. (B) M: Sounds great. You are so brave to look for a job in a music club to pay your tuition. (C) M: Sounds great.
