M: Any special reasons? W: Yes. It's because I am good at singing songs. All my classmates say so. Besides, singing is quite interesting and you can meet a lot of people. M: And you will have to please them too. W: Well, you do in any job, don't you? M: And what do your parents think about it? W: They don't quite agree with my idea. That is the only trouble. M: Have they got any other plans for you, then? W: Yes, um...they're trying to send me to an art college because they want me to be an actress. M: Then what will you do? What would the listener say?

[Q]: Read the below conversation. W: Hi, my name is Christa and I have a friend Mary, whose son is taking guitar lessons from you, and she suggested I call you. M: OK. Will the lessons be for yourself or your son? W: I want to learn. My son is only three. M: Fine. Have you had any musical experience before? W: Well, I studied the piano for about three months but that was 6 years ago. M: That's good. So we needn't start right from the beginning again. W: When can I take lessons and how much do they cost? M: Well, that depends on you. We have a small group that meets on Monday and Wednesday evenings for two hours, that costs $4 an hour. Then on Tuesdays and Thursdays I give private lessons which cost $8 an hour. What would the listener say?

[A]: W: I'm afraid that I can't make it on Mondays but I can come on Wednesdays.

[Q]: Read the below conversation. M: Are you quite independent of your parents now? W: Yes. As soon as I left school, I... my studies as a nurse. I stopped asking my parents for money since I got financial support from the government. But I still stay with them a lot. M: You're staying ... very close to your parents? W: I am. They never forced me to do anything I didn't want to do. What about you? M: Well, I am also fond of my family. But I don't always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much. W: But they allowed you to come to study in England on your own. What would the listener say?
