Question: Read the below conversation. W: Hello, John. How was your French exam yesterday? M: Not too good. W: Well, the term exam is always more difficult. Work harder, and you'll certainly do better next time. M: I've worked hard enough, I think, but unluckily, I have never done well in the exam. W: Well, it's no use worrying about the exam now. Let's talk about the football game tonight. It's much more interesting. M: Is there a football game on TV tonight? W: Yes it's between the Chinese team and the Japanese team. M: ... Er I'd rather watch some other programmes. W: Why? You're so interested in football. What would the listener say?
Answer: M: The Chinese team has always played badly in the important match, just as I have done in the important exam.
[Q]: Read the below conversation. M: Today, we have Professor McKay on our morning talk show. Good morning, Professor McKay. I've heard that you and your team have just completed a report on old age. W: That's right. Well, the report basically look into the various beliefs that people hold about old age and tries to prove them. M: And what do you think your report can achieve? W: We hope that it will somehow help people to change their feelings about old age. The problem is that far too many of us believe that most old people are poor, lonely, and unhappy. As a result, we tend to find old people, as a group, unattractive. And this is very dangerous for our society. M: But surely we cannot escape the fact that many old people are lonely and many are sick. W: No, we can't. But we must also remember that the proportion of such people is no greater among the 60-70 age group than among the 50-60 age group. M: In other words, there is no more mental illness, for example, among the 60s-70s than among the 50s-60s. W: Right! M: Are people's mental abilities affected by old age? W: Certain changes do take place as we grow older, but this happens throughout life. These changes are very gradual and happen at different times with different people, but, in general, if you know a person well in his middle age and have seen how he deals with events and problems, you will easily recognize him in an old age. M: So that someone who enjoys new experiences, travel, education, and so on in his middle years will usually continue to do so into old age? What would the listener say?
****
[A]: W: Exactly.

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: Oh, we still haven't decided what to get him. W: I know. It's hard. What does he need? M: Well, darling, the other day he said that he needed a car. W: Yeah, right. Well, I think that's a little beyond us. M: Yeah, it'd be fun, but it's just a little too expensive. W: There's the usual kind of thing, like a wallet or tie. M: Oh, please, not for his sixtieth. I think we should get him something more expensive than that, don't you? I mean, we want to get something good, something... W: Something unusual? M: Yeah. W: Well, how about a computer? We could get him a computer. That way we could keep in touch on email. What would the listener say?

Answer: M: No, no, no. You know him. He says he's too old to learn how to use a computer. He isn't, of course, but I don't think he'd ever use it.
Problem: Read the below conversation. M: Are you OK, Lily? You don't look very happy. W: Oh, David. I had an argument with mum again. I'm not getting enough pocket money. M: How much do you get? W: Five pounds a week. M: That sounds reasonable to me. W: Well, I'm 14 and if you are going to town shopping, you can never have enough money. Everything is so expensive. M: But is it fair amount of money? Compare what your friends get. W: Well, we all get the same. But I have to buy all my music things as well things for school and have hardly anything left to spend on clothes. M: Right. Do you have to help around house? W: Not really. M: So you don't have to do anything for this pocket money. W: Mum said if I did that I will never have time to do my school work. M: Has she said you can have more pocket money when you are 15? W: Well, Mum just says she'll decide when I'm ready to have more. And I've just got to wait. M: Maybe you should sit down with her and say "How can I prove that I am old enough to get more?" W: So, I should talk to her again. M: Yes, but don't argue with her. Just discuss it calmly. What would the listener say?

A: W: OK, thanks.
