Part 1. 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".
Part 2. Example
W: The movie next Tuesday has been cancelled due to lack of interest. M: What do you mean? W: Well, by last night only a few tickets has been sold.
Answer: What can we conclude about the movie? (A) They want to buy the tickets for the movie. (B) The tickets for the movie were sold. (C) The movie will not be shown.
Explanation: This is a good example. Based on the conversation, the movie has been canceled, and it will not be shown. We could understand that only option (C) is correct. As mentioned in the conversation, only a few tickets have been sold, so option (B) is incorrect. We don't know if they wanted to buy a ticket or not, so option (A) is incorrect as well.
Part 3. Exercise
M: Why, Ann, I haven't seen you for ages. How have you been? W: Bob, it has been a long time, hasn't it? It must be at least a year. M: No. We talked at the Johnson's Christmas party last December. Don't you remember? W: That's right. Well, how are you? Still working for the Germen company? M: No. I changed my job about 4 months ago. I'm with the World Bank now. How about you? W: I'm still working at the University, but I transferred from the German Department to the Spanish Department. M: Don't you tell me you speak Spanish, too? W: Sure. I grew up in Spain, you know. German was what I studied in college. M: All I have ever managed to learn is a little Italian. W: Oh. excuse me, someone is knocking at the door. I'll talk to you again later, Bob. M: It was nice talking to you, Ann.
Answer:
How long has it been since the two speakers last met? (A) Less than a year. (B) At least one year. (C) More than a year.
