Q: Dialogue: W: I enjoy going through secondhand bookstores, don't you? It's interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading. Did you see this old book of children's stories? M: Some of these books aren't so old, though. See? This novel was published only six years ago. It cost seventy-five cents. W: Hey! Look at this! M: What? Are you getting interested in nineteenth-century plays all of a sudden? W: No. Look at the signature. Someone gave this book as a present, and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It's dated 1856. Maybe it's worth something. M: Everything on that shelf is worth fifty cents. W: But if this is the signature of someone who is well-known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars. M: Oh? I can hardly read what the one says. Who wrote it? W: The name looks like "Harold Dickinson". Wasn't he a politician or something? I'm going to buy this book and see if I can find a name like that in the library. M: Good luck. Your book of plays may make you rich, but I'll bet my seventy-five cents novel is a better buy. Question: Where is this conversation taking place? - In a classroom. - In a library. - At a secondhand bookstore.
A: At a secondhand bookstore.

Dialogue: W: Why weren't you at the German class last night, Tom? Have you given up? M: Well, no...I came back late yesterday and found John sleeping in the chair. He'd been writing a report all day long and he was too tired to go out again, so we gave the lesson a miss. W: You've missed quite a lot of lessons lately, haven't you? Are you losing interest? M: Yes, I'm afraid so. Neither John nor I have a gift for language. People just laugh at us when we attempt to speak German. How did you and Jane pick it up so quickly and easily? You've hardly been in Germany a month. W: It was neither quick nor easy. We'd both studied the language before we came, and we only needed to revise it.
