Q: Read the below conversation. M: Hi, Cathy, how did you find yesterday's speech competition? W: Well, to be honest, it was quite disappointing. M: You didn't like the speeches? W: Yes, I did. In fact, I enjoyed listening to most of the speeches. But I just couldn't accept the result, you know. M: Hmm, you mean the judges? W: I mean most of the listeners including me didn't understand why the judges didn't like Samantha. It was such a shock when they announced the winner was Jim. We all thought Samantha's pronunciation was the best. M: You're probably right. But don't you think the speech itself is more important? As I see it, Jim's speech was more meaningful. I was deeply moved by the story he told us. W: But, in my opinion, we also learned something very important from Samantha's speech. M: That's right. Samantha and Jim were indeed very close. I guess it was difficult for the judges. What would the listener say?
A: W: Well, I wish I could agree with you. But I do think Samantha was the best.
Question: Read the below conversation. W: Sam, I think it's time for you to get a summer job. When I was your age, I started working at the pool. M: Mom, I really don't have time to work this summer. I am going to go to summer school and I need to practice skateboarding. Also, I want to go to the lake with Jeremy. W: Well, how are you going to pay to go to the lake? You are getting too old for us to give you money. You're not a young kid anymore! Also, college is very expensive these days. You should start saving money now - college is only three years away! M: OK, I'll apply for some jobs this weekend. Can you help me fill out job applications? What would the listener say?
Answer: W: Yes, I will help you. You should get an application from the supermarket on Walnut Street. Ms. Jacobs told me they are hiring students this summer.

You have to know about computers. Computer knowledge is a must whatever you do. You should learn quickly or you will be left behind. M: That's true. But first I want to learn the basics.
