PROBLEM: F: Uh, where do you think you're going? ,M: We're going to the new club, right? Oh, Man. I can't wait to get out on the dance floor and... ,F: Ha! You're not seriously going out like that, are you? ,M: Hey, you're just messing around with me, aren't you? Yeah, I know I look good. Just let me get my jacket. ,F: Jason, you look ridiculous. Your jeans are too tight, and they look like they were washed too many times, back in the 80s. And why are you wearing that funny hat? ,M: What? You've never heard of the New York Yankees? ,F: I'm a huge baseball fan. I know who the Yankees are, but why are you wearing that hat backwards? What are you 10 years old? And that jacket looks like a dead animal.
(A) M: I am afraid I did not quite catch what you were saying. Please repeat it. (B) M: I know you are crazy about baseball, but let's go to my parent's home first, OK? (C) M: Yes, I am crazy about baseball, too. Next time let's watch a baseball game together. (D) M: You are really crazy about fancy clothing brands. How about the Clippers hat I am wearing?

PROBLEM: F: Hey, dad, I have just been given this project at school. Do you think you can help me out? ,M: Sure, what's this project about? ,F: Well, I should interview someone that I admire about their jobs. ,M: Well, I am an expert when it comes to my job. Accounting is a respectable job and one that I am always happy to talk about. ,F: Dad, I know how much you love your job. It isn't that I don't admire you. But what I was hoping actually was that you could speak to Mr. Chung, your diving friend, and see if he would agree to an interview. Diving for a living sounds cool. ,M: I see. That's a great idea. You know how I really dislike talking about myself again and again for too long. Let me give David Chung a call right now and find out. ,F: Thanks, dad. I know this will be a wonderful project.
(A) M: I think you need to be confident about it, because you are going to interview a famous accountant called Mrs. Chung. (B) M: You're right. Be confident about it! (C) M: You don't need to worry about it. I'll do the project for you. You can take a break. (D) M: Just a minute! I do not quite follow what you are saying, would you mind repeating that?

PROBLEM: F: OK, I think we have 2 choices of where we can spend our vacation. The first place is a little house. It's located on a fruit farm. But it says there is no air conditioner. ,M: That's OK. It's on the rainy side of the island. It's cooler there. ,F: You're probably right. But there is no washing machine or dryer, not even a TV.
(A) M: So, you mean this little house has a washing machine, dryer and TV, and is near a fruit farm? (B) M: I didn't hear you. Please could you tell me again? (C) M: Really? You mean I am probably wrong? But this little house is on the rainy side of the island. (D) M: So, the little house has no washing machine or dryer and it's on the rainy side of the island?
