Read the below conversation. W: Good evening, sir, madam. A table for two? M: No, thank you. But we have a small problem. Can you help us? W: Sure. What can I do for you? M: We are looking for a hotel. Are there any hotels near here? W: Yes, there are some hotels in the street. The nearest one is next to the bank. It's quite modern. M: Do you think there're any inexpensive ones nearby? We're leaving tomorrow morning. W: Yes. Drive west for about two minutes and you will find a grey building on the right side. It's a traditional family style hotel, very comfortable, and the price is quite reasonable. M: It sounds nice. Thank you very much for your help. What would the listener say?

Q: Read the below conversation. M: Hello, Professor Johnson. W: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today? M: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn't coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what a particular sport means to me-one I participate in. W: What sport did you choose? M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing. W: What are you going to say about skiing? M: That's the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country. W: So why is that a problem? M: As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods, I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn't as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy. But that's not part of my paper, so I guess I should leave it out. But now I don't know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It's not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That's different. W: Then you'll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of your point you knew beforehand, but part you discovered as you wrote. That's common, right? What would the listener say?
A: M: Yeah, I guess so ...

[Q]: Read the below conversation. M: Have you seen my school bag, Mom? I've been looking for it everywhere. W: I hope you didn't leave it in school. You never know where you put your things. When did you last see it? M: Last night before I went to bed, I think. I remember putting it on the desk. W: Really? If you put it there, it should still be there. No one has been to your room. So it must be here somewhere. M: Yes, but where? That's what I want to know. Oh, dear, it's about the time for the school bus. What would the listener say?

Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. M: You're going to wear out the computer's keyboard! W: Oh, hi. M: Do you have any idea what time it is? W: About ten or ten-thirty? M: It's nearly midnight. W: Really? I didn't know it was so late. M: Don't you have an early class to teach tomorrow morning? W: Yes, at seven o'clock. My commuter class, the students who go to work right after their lesson. M: Then you ought to go to bed. What are you writing, anyway? W: An article I hope I can sell. M: Oh, another of your newspaper pieces? What's this one about? W: Do you remember the trip I took last month? M: The one up to the Amazon? W: Well, that's what I'm writing about-the new highway and the changes it's making in the Amazon valley. M: It should be interesting. W: It is. I guess that's why I forgot all about the time. M: How many articles have you sold now? W: About a dozen so far. M: What kind of newspapers buy them? W: The papers that carry a lot of foreign news. They usually appear in the big Sunday editions where they need a lot of background stories to help fill up the space between the ads. M: Is there any future in it? W: I hope so. There's a chance I may sell this article to a news service. M: Then your story would be published in several papers, wouldn't it? W: That's the idea. And I might even be able to do other stories on a regular basis. What would the listener say?
