PROBLEM: M: Wow, this dance is surely cool. There are so many people here. Ah, what's your name? ,F: Susan, Susan Dors. You really don't know who I am? You sit behind me in geography class. ,M: Oh yeah, you're right. I guess I'm just used to looking at the back of your head, not your face. ,F: Are you OK? You're so nervous. ,M: I'm sorry for my strange behavior. I don't know why I pretended I didn't know who you were. I just didn't know how to start the conversation. ,F: That's OK. It's refreshing to talk to somebody who's actually honest for once, so do you like this music? ,M: Not really. I prefer rock and roll mostly. But I like to listen to blues when I'm alone. Anything but this pop stuff. ,F: Oh my gosh. I totally agree. I thought I was the only one.
(A) M: Excuse me, could you repeat the question? (B) M: You are not alone. By the way, the pop playing at the dance sounds awful. (C) M: No, you are not the only. Anyway, I like the blues playing at the dance. (D) M: But I really don't like the rock and roll playing at the dance.

PROBLEM: M: Hello, Clark Cycle here. How can I help you? ,F: Oh, hello. I saw your ad in the local paper and I'm wondering what kinds of bikes you have, and what your prices are like? ,M: Well, we hire out 3 main types of machine, electric touring and mountain bikes. Are you likely to be riding off-road, do you think? ,F: No, I'll probably be sticking to roads. So, we're touring bike would be best. ,M: Right, well the rate will be 50 pounds for a week or 14 pounds per day. ,F: So it's a lot cheaper to rent by the week. Is there anything else I'd have to pay? ,M: Well, for another 5 pounds, we can supply lightweight bags. There is no charge for things like a pump or for a lock. It's a good strong one, just make sure you don't lose the key.
(A) F: Yeah, it's not a good strong one and cannot make sure I don't lose the key. And you mean the lock needs extra charge, right? (B) F: Really? For another 4 pounds, you can supply lightweight bags for me? So, the bag needs extra charge? (C) F: For another 5 pounds, you can supply lightweight bags for me? So, the bag needs extra charge?
