Q: Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: Hello, and welcome to our program "Working Abroad". Our guest this evening is a Londoner, who lives and works in Italy. Her name's Susan Hill. Susan, welcome to the program. You live in Florence, how long have you been living there? W: Since 1982. But when I went there in 1982, I planned to stay for only 6 months. M: Why did you change your mind? W: Well, I'm a designer. I design leather goods, mainly shoes, and handbags. Soon after I arrived in Florence, I got a job with one of Italy's top fashion houses, Ferregamo. So, I decided to stay. M: How lucky! Do you still work for Ferregamo? W: No, I've been a freelance designer for quite a long time now. Since 1988, in fact. M: So, does that mean you design for several different companies now? W: Yes, that's right. I've designed many fashion items for a number of Italian companies, and during the last four years, I've also been designing for the British company, Burberry's. M: What have you been designing for them? W: Mostly handbags, and small leather goods. M: Has the fashion industry in Italy changed since 1982? W: Oh, yes. It has become a lot more competitive. Because of quality of products from other countries has improved a lot. But the Italian quality and design is still world-famous. M: And do you ever think of returning to live in England? W: No, not really. Working in Italy is more interesting. I also love the Mediterranean sun and the Italian life style. M: Well, thank you for talking to us, Susan. W: It was a pleasure. Question: Where does this talk most probably take place? - In a studio. - In a clothing store. - At a beach resort.
A: In a studio.

Q: Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: So how were your schooldays when you were a child, Joan? W: Well, from seven to twelve I went to a school in Belgium. M: In Belgium? How come? W: It was my father's idea. One of his friends was sending his daughter, and my father wanted to impress his friend so he decided to send me, too. M: Just to impress a friend? It's hard to believe. So what was it like? W: We had to get up early and go to church before class. And at mealtimes we just had to sit silently with our hands folded in our laps. And I wasn't allowed to speak English at all. I had to learn French but nobody taught me. I just had to sit in the lessons and try to understand. M: It's awful for a child of seven! W: And they were terribly strict about manners! I suppose that was one good thing. I had the most beautiful manners when I left. Question: What does the man think of the woman's father's idea? - Reasonable. - Interesting. - Unbelievable.
A: Unbelievable.
