Q: Read the below conversation. M: Sarah, you work in the admissions office, don't you? W: Yes, I've been here for ten years as assistant director. M: Really? What does that involve? W: Well, I'm in charge of all the admissions of postgraduate students in the university. M: Only postgraduates? W: Yes, postgraduates only. I have nothing at all to do with undergraduates. M: Do you find that you get particular-sort of...different national groups? I mean, do you get large numbers from Latin America or... W: Yes. Well, of all the students enrolled last year, nearly half were from overseas. They were from African countries, the Far East, the Middle East, and Latin America. M: Em. But have you been doing just that for the last 10 years, or, have you done other things? W: Well, I've been doing the same job. Er, before that, I was secretary of the medical school at Birmingham, and further back, I worked in the local government. M: Oh, I see. W: So I've done different types of things. M: Yes, indeed. How do you imagine your job might develop in the future? Can you imagine shifting into a different kind of responsibility or doing something... What would the listener say?
A: W: Oh, yeah, from October 1, I'll be doing an entirely different job. There's going to be more committee work. I mean, more policy work, and less dealing with students, unfortunately-I'll miss my contact with students.

Q: Read the below conversation. Woman: So, what is your schedule like every day? Man: Well, uh, I get up around a quarter to six ( 5:45 ) in the morning. Woman: Wow! That's kind of early. Man: A little. Then, I eat a quick breakfast, and I catch the bus at, uh, 7:00. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the bus stop. Woman: That's a pretty good walk. Man: Yeah, and uh, next, I work at the library from 8:00 to 11:15 or so, and I have classes from noon until about five. Woman: Um. Man: And then I catch the bus back home, and I arrive ... well, you know how the traffic is. It depends on traffic, but around 6:15, and I make a sandwich or something for dinner, and then I walk to the gym and meet some of my friends, uh, there [ Oh, that sounds fun. ] around 7:00. [ Around 7:00? ] You know Steve? [ Uh-huh. ] Yeah, he and I usually go. Steve and uh, what is her name? The new girl, um. I think her name is Amy. Woman: So you have a group you work out with then? Man: Right. Woman: That sounds fun. Man: And we exercise, play basketball, lift weights ... you know, do things like that ... for about an hour and a half. Woman: Wow. Do you do that every night? Man: Oh, no. I usually go to the gym on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. And on Wednesdays, I take guitar lessons [ Ooh, fun! ] Yeah, uh, in the evening at a music school, you know, just around the corner from my house. Woman: Oh, that's convenient. Man: Yeah, yeah. It's really nice. Woman: Well, I was wondering when do you get time to see your girlfriend. Man: That's the problem. I only see her on Tuesdays in the evening and on Saturdays and some Sundays. I mean, we usually text each other every day, and I sometimes call her during my lunch break. Woman: Oh, that's nice. What would the listener say?
A: Man: It sounds like you have a very busy schedule.

Q: Read the below conversation. M: You're campaign manager Julie. How do I convince the members of the student body to know that I'm the best candidate for school president? W: It won't be easy. M: Thanks a lot. W: I'm just kidding, Bob. Actually I think once we show everyone how well you did as junior class treasurer, you will win easily. M: How do you do that? Meet with all three thousand people who are members of the student body? W: Come on! What I'm thinking of first is hanging campaign posters in all the hallways where most of the students are sure to see them. M: That sounds good. But everyone puts up posters. What can we do differently? W: The campus radio station is willing to let you have five minutes tomorrow morning at seven o'clock to outline your plans for the year. Lots of students will be listening then. M: That's a great idea! W: I've also arranged for you to give a speech during dinner tomorrow. At least five hundred students will be there. You'll answer questions after you finish speaking. M: How about if I write it tonight and show it to you after chemistry class tomorrow? What would the listener say?
A: W: Fine.
