PROBLEM: F: I'm so sorry I'm late, Mister Stone. ,M: I think I did ask Miss Jones to inform everyone that the meeting started at 11:00 sharp, now 10 minutes have passed already. ,F: I'm really sorry, Mister Stone. It's raining cats and dogs, and I had to wait ages for a taxi.
(A) M: I didn't hear you. Please could you tell me again? (B) M: I know it's raining today, but the others are not late. That's no excuse. (C) M: It's windy today.

PROBLEM: F: Good morning Can I help you? ,M: Yes, I need some directions. ,F: Sure. What are you looking for? ,M: Well, first of all I'm looking for the Hard Rock Cafe. How far is it from here? Need I take a taxi? ,F: Oh, it's just about 5 minutes walk from here. Just walk out of the hotel and turn right. It's right across from the National Bank. ,M: The National Bank on Park Avenue? ,F: Yes,that's the one. ,M: Is the Hard Rock Cafe a nice place? ,F: Well, I think so. The food is good and there are some interesting things to look at in the restaurant. ,M: Great, and where is the Science Museum? ,F: Well, that's next to City Hall. ,M: Near City Hall. OK, I know where that is and what's the museum like? ,F: Actually it's not very good. It's small and there isn't much to see, there. It's really for young kids. ,M: Oh, then maybe we won't go there. One last question is there an amusement park in the city? ,F: Yes, there is a very good one. It's only about 6 blocks from here. It's in the park near the train station.
(A) M: Thanks. Although the amusement park is about five minutes walk, it is far from the train station. (B) M: It seems that the amusement park is about six minutes ride. But it is not a good one. (C) M: I'm sorry, I didn't understand. Could you repeat a little louder, please? (D) M: Thanks a lot. Since the amusement park is about six blocks away, I will take a taxi.
