Read the below conversation. M: Have you noticed a lot of differences between your country and ours? W: Well, that's a difficult question, but I can think of a few. People here dress quite differently, because the weather is warmer here. We wear winter clothes half the year-thick trousers and warm sweaters. Here, people dress more fashionably. Everyone looks very well dressed. M: Is clothing expensive in your country? W: Yes, it's more expensive than here. M: Do you find it easy to talk to people here? Can you make friends easily? W: Oh, yes. It's easy to meet people here, even if we speak different languages. People are the same everywhere. They worry about the same things. They worry about the cost of living and about the future of their children. What would the listener say?

Question: Read the below conversation. Man: Hi, Sis. I just came over to drop off the DVDs you wanted, and ... Hey, wow!? Where did you get all of this stuff? Woman: I bought it. So, what do you think of my new entertainment center? And the widescreen TV ... Man: Bought it? Woman: ... and my new DVD player. Here, let me show you my stereo. You can really rock the house with this one. Man: But where did you get the dough to buy all this? You didn't borrow money from mom and dad again, did you? Woman: Of course not. I got it with this! Man: This? Let me see that ... Have you been using Dad's credit card again? Woman: No, silly. It's mine. It's student credit card. Man: A student credit card? How in the world did you get one of these? Woman: I got an application in the mail. Man: Well, why did you get one in the first place? Woman: Listen. Times are changing, and having a credit card helps you build a credit rating, control spending, and even buy things that you can't pay with cash ... like the plane ticket I got recently. Man: What plane ticket? Woman: Oh yeah, my roommate and I are going to Hawaii over the school break, and course, I needed some new clothes for that so ... Man: I don't want to hear it. How does having a student credit card control spending? It sounds you've spent yourself in a hole. Anyway, student credit cards just lead to impulse spending ... as I can see here. And the interest rates of student credit cards are usually sky-high, and if you miss a payment, the rates, well, just jump! Woman: Ah. The credit card has a credit limit ... Man: ... of $20,000? Woman: No, no quite that high. Anyway, ... Man: I've heard enough. Woman: Did I tell you we now get digital cable with over 100 channels? Oh, and here's your birthday present. A new MP3 player ... Man: Yeah. Oh, don't tell me. Charged on the credit card. Listen. Hey, I don't think having a student credit card is a bad idea, but this is ridiculous. And how in the world are you going to pay off your credit card bill? Woman: Um, with my birthday money? It's coming... What would the listener say?
Answer: Man: Hey, let's sit down and talk about how you're going to pay things back, and maybe we can come up with a budget that will help you get out of this mess. That's the least I can do.

Read the below conversation. M: Phew! Home at last! I'm glad to be back, aren't you? W: Not really...I'm sorry our holiday is over. We had a great time, didn't we? M: Mmm...it was OK. The weather wasn't as good as I'd hoped. It started to get cloudy in the last two days. I remember the forecast was for bright sunshine the whole week! W: Well,most of the week was like that. We only had a little rain,right? M: Yeah...The food in the hotel was delicious,but it was priced too high. Next time,we should stay at a cheap hotel. W: Yeah,but the waiters were very helpful,I must say. When I asked for black tea,they sent some up to our room in a while. M: Mmm...that's true. W: But I don't know why the air conditioner didn't work. It was so hot! M: It didn't help when we opened the windows,either. It didn't cool the room down at all. W: Well,that was the only thing that didn't work properly. M: Right,well,it happens sometimes. W: So...what should we do for our next holiday then? We can go somewhere else - Asia or Europe?
