Q: Read the below conversation. W: Hi, are you Don? I'm Lynn. I saw the advertisement you put on the Internet about selling your car. M: Hi, Lynn. Nice to meet you. Thanks for your interest. Here's my car. It's a 2006 Honda Civic. I took a lot of road trips in it! It is not perfect, but it is safe to drive and it has new tires. W: Is anything broken? M: The radio is broken and the heater is broken, but the air conditioner works well. W: I think you should lower the price because the radio and the heater are broken. If you don't lower the price, I don't think I want to buy it. M: Sorry, but I'm not lowering the price. It's a very safe car, even if the radio is broken. Would you like to drive the car so you can see if you like it? What would the listener say?
A: W: No, thank you. I am worried something else is broken too.
Question: Read the below conversation. Man: Hi young lady. How may I help you? Girl: Well, ... yeah. I'm looking for a Father's Day gift. Man: Okay. How about getting your father a new wallet? Girl: Hmm. How much is that wallet? Man: Huh ... which one? Girl: The black one. Man: Oh. It's only $40.95. Girl: Huh? That's too expensive for me. Do you have a cheaper one? Man: Hmm. How about this brown leather one? Girl: Umm... I don't think my father will like the design on the outside, and it doesn't have a place to put pictures. How much is it anyway? Man: It's $25.99. Girl: Humm. I don't have that much money. Man: Okay. How much money do you have to spend? Girl: I'm not sure [money falling on the table]. Probably about ten dollars or so. I've been helping my mom around the house for the past week to earn some money. This is all I have. Man: Hmm. How about this tie? Girl: That's real pretty, but the price tag says $13.99, and I know I don't have that much money. Man: Well, let's just say the tie went on sale. How about $5.00. What do you say?

Answer: Girl: Oh, thanks. I'll take it.

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: So, how long have you been living here? W: About six months now. M: Why did you choose Beirut? W: Because, Mike-my husband-and I have always loved Arab culture and the language. Mike's an English teacher and he got a job here in a language school. M: Why did you want to take a year off? W: Basically I wanted a break from teaching. I love teaching children but I needed a change. Also I've been drawing and painting since I was little but I've never really had the chance to study drawing. So this seemed like the perfect opportunity to have a change and learn to draw properly. M: Well, I found a fantastic art teacher, called Omayma, and I've been having classes with her since October. She's great and she speaks English, which is lucky, because I don't know much Arabic yet. But I'm learning the language as quickly as I can. W: Is Arabic a difficult language to learn? What would the listener say?
++++++++
Answer: M: Incredibly difficult! Especially the pronunciation. You have to learn to make a lot of new sounds.
