PROBLEM: F: OK, I think we have 2 choices of where we can spend our vacation. The first place is a little house. It's located on a fruit farm. But it says there is no air conditioner. ,M: That's OK. It's on the rainy side of the island. It's cooler there. ,F: You're probably right. But there is no washing machine or dryer, not even a TV. ,M: Oh no, no TV? That's terrible. What's our second choice? ,F: It's on the opposite side of the island, a very nice place with a big swimming pool. It's only 3 blocks from the ocean and the pool area also has a beautiful garden. ,M: Wow, it does have everything, washing machine, dryer, TV, refrigerator. All we need is our toothbrushes. Let's go with the second choice. I can't wait to go.
(A) F: I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly? (B) F: Yeah, it does have everything, washing machine, dryer, TV, and refrigerator. And it has a big swimming pool! (C) F: Really? You mean we don't need our toothbrushes because the second place provides toothbrushes? (D) F: Well, although it doesn't have washing machine, dryer, TV, or refrigerator, it has a big swimming pool!

PROBLEM: F: Excuse me, sir, can you help me? I need to buy a bed for my new apartment. ,M: Of course, what size bed do you need? ,F: It's a small apartment so I don't want anything too big. ,M: Well, you should get a twin bed. That's the smallest size for an adult. It only fits one person. A bigger size bed is a double bed for 2 people. Then there are queen size and king size beds. Those are very large. There are much too big for you. ,F: OK. Thanks so much I'll get the smallest one.
(A) M: Well, honey, I think we should have a queen-sized bed. (B) M: I am afraid I did not quite catch what you were saying. Please repeat it. (C) M: Mom, I think we should have a double bed, don't you think? (D) M: Sure. Here is the key for your apartment with the queen-sized bed.
