Dialogue: M: Two more miles to go...we have an hour before school starts. Let's take our time. Do you want to stop and get a breakfast sandwich? W: We decided to start walking to school for the exercise. We want to get fit. Why would we want to eat a fattening breakfast sandwich? M: McDonald's has an egg muffin sandwich that has only 320 calories. What's wrong with that? I bet we walked off 320 calories already. After two more miles, we can probably walk off another 100 calories. W: I do need energy. I hardly ate dinner last night. My mom made leg of lamb, and it's definitely not my favorite. In fact, I think I'm going to become a vegetarian. M: Good for you! I gave up meat a long time ago. Now, almost all of my meals are salads. Funny thing is, when I make my food, I also make food for my rabbit. We mostly eat the same things now. W: My bird eats seeds and berries. We could probably share our meals, too! Question: How many calories does the breakfast sandwich have? - 25 calories. - 320 calories. - 100 calories.
320 calories.

Question: Dialogue: W: I've sent out the invitations for the dinner party. M: That's good. Now what should we do? W: We need to plan the menu. M: Oh, that's right. What do you have in mind? W: I think I'm going to make the chicken salad we had at our 39th wedding anniversary. Remember, I asked Thomson, the chef of the restaurant where we often go, for the recipe? M: Oh, yes. I remember. Time sure flies! Now we are celebrating our golden anniversary! And Thomson was very friendly. You know, chefs seldom tell people their recipes. They often keep them a secret. W: I understand that. So you see, I have promised I will also keep the recipe a secret. M: Well, Thomson will appreciate that. Oh, but did you forget that Linda doesn't eat chicken? W: Linda? Oh, my Gosh! I forgot to invite her! She'll be mad at me. It just slipped my mind. Thanks for reminding me! I think I'm getting old! M: Looks like you are! Question: How many years have the speakers got married? - 40. - 50. - 60.
Answer: 50.

Dialogue: M: I got two letters this morning with job offers, one from the Polytechnic, and the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy. W: So you are not sure which to go for? M: That's it. Of course, the conditions of work are very different: The Polytechnic is offering two-year contract which could be renewed, but the Language School is only offering a year's contract, and that's a definite minus. It could be renewed, but you never know. W: I see. So it's much less secure. But you don't need to think too much about steady jobs when you are only 23. M: That's true. W: What about the salaries? M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short term. I'll be getting the equivalent of about 22,000 pounds a year there, but only 20,000 pounds at the Polytechnic. But then the hours are different. At the Polytechnic I'd have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administration, whereas the Pistoia school is only asking for 30 hours teaching. W: Mmm... M: Then the type of teaching is so different. The Polytechnic is all adults and mostly preparation for exams like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit of exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in companies and factories, and a couple of children's classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching. W: Well, that sounds much more varied and interesting. And I'd imagine you'd be doing quite a lot of teaching outside the school, and moving around quite a bit. M: Yes, whereas with the Polytechnic position, I'd be stuck in the school all day. Question: What do we learn about the man from the conversation? - He wants to sign a long-term contract. - He is good at both language and literature. - He is undecided as to which job to go for.
