TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown a conversation. You need to write a question with three choices for the conversation. Your question should be answerable based on the conversation and only have one correct answer. Note that you don't need to answer your question. "W" and "M" in the conversations stand for "woman" and "man".
PROBLEM: M: Hello, Nancy. This is Bob. How are you? W: Fine, thank you. A hit too busy though. You know, I'm trying to put everything in order in my new flat. M: Oh, I see. Well, I am wondering if you'd like to go to a concert tomorrow night. I think it will be good. And if I remember correctly, you did say you liked country music. W: Yes. That's fight. It's nice of you to ask, Bob. But I don't think I can. Mother has already asked me to see a friend and then we'll go to the theatre together. In fact she's getting the tickets this evening. M: Oh, well, never mind. What about next weekend? This concert is still on then, I think, if you are free next Saturday. W: Oh, I'd like to very much. But what time exactly? M: It starts at 7:30, I think. W: Oh, good. That'll be fine. The tennis match will be over by 5 o'clock, I'm sure. M: Good, I'll call you again when I get the tickets. W: Sure. Bye.

SOLUTION: Why did Bob call Nancy? (A) To ask if she's got the tickets. (B) To invite her out for an evening concert. (C) To offer his help with her new flat.

PROBLEM: W: Mike, there's not much left in the refrigerator. M: Well, I might be able to pick up a few things after work, but I have to be back rather late today. W: In that case, we'll make do with a meal out at McDonald's.

SOLUTION: What do the speakers decide to do? (A) The man will bring some food back for dinner. (B) They will go to their friend's home for supper. (C) They will eat out for dinner.

PROBLEM: M: You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe, Dorothy. When are you leaving? W: In just two weeks, and I am excited. I've been looking forward to this training program for a long time. But there are still a few things I need to do before I go. M: Like what? W: Like renewing my passport and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I'm gone. M: You are not going to give it up, are you? W: No way! I'll never find another apartment like it around here. But I don't like the idea of paying three months for an empty apartment, either. So, I'm looking for someone to take it while I'm away. M: Um, let me think. Oh, I know just a person. An old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas. He is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to August. W: Well, that's exactly when I'll be away! M: Tell you what: I'll be calling Jim late this week anyway, so I'll mention it to him. W: Well, thanks, Bill.

SOLUTION:
Why is Dorothy going to Europe? (A) To attend a training program. (B) To carry out some research. (C) To take a vacation.
