PROBLEM: M: Hi Shirley, going to the football game today? ,F: No, I'm not. I'm planning to watch it on television. ,M: Why is that? Are you low on cash this month? ,F: Money is not the problem. I find it easier to follow football on television than in stadiums. When I see the game in person, I feel as if I'm too far away from the action and I always lose track of the ball. ,M: I know just what you mean. Besides on television, the new cameras they use give you super views of all the plays. But there's always so much excitement. People are cheering and shouting when I'm there in person and I end up cheering along with everyone else.
(A) F: I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly? (B) F: Well, I think it's easier to follow the basketball on the television. (C) F: But I think it's easier to follow the game through television. (D) F: Actually, the only reason I watch the game on TV is that nobody will disturb me.

PROBLEM: M: My son's just tried to book some tickets for the Black Key Concert on March twenty-first, but there's a problem with your website. ,F: I'm sorry about that.

But there are some on the nineteenth, or there are $35 ones on the twentieth. ,M: Yes, those would be best. The nineteenth is no good because he's got school the next day.
(A) F: Okay, please give me $15 for the football game ticket. (B) F: It' s a good deal to pay $25 for the football game ticket. (C) F: I am sorry.
