Part 2. Example
M: Excuse me. How much is this suit? ,F: It's on sale today for $750. It's normally $900. ,M: Wow, that is pretty expensive! I was thinking that it might be 4 or 500. ,F: This material is imported from Italy. It's the finest in the world, and if you bought a suit made of this material at many department stores, you would pay about $2000. ,M: Uh-hah. But isn't that the point of coming to a market like this, to get a discount compared to the expensive department stores? Besides I saw a suit just like this one a few stalls down, and they were selling it for $600. I still thought that it was too expensive. ,F: It's possible that the suit you saw was the same color is this one but made of a different material. Unfortunately, our prices are final, and we think there are the lowest anywhere in the city.
(A) M: Okay, I'll buy it at the price you want. Here, it's $600. (B) M: Just a minute! I do not quite follow what you are saying, would you mind repeating that? (C) M: Although the material is imported from France, it is not worth the $750 you want. (D) M: You want $900 for the suit? It's too expensive!
Answer: B
Explanation: Options (A) and (B) are not corrct because the suit's price is 900. Option (C) isn't correct because the material was imported from italy.
Part 3. Exercise
M: Have you heard of the UA Healthbox? ,F: No. What's that? ,M: It was created by the company Under Armor. It's a new set of 3 smart devices: a wristband, a scale and a heart-rate monitor. They all record information about you when you exercise, which is then collected in the app UA Record. ,F: I like that all of the information goes into one app, but it doesn't sound very different from other products that are already out there. ,M: Check this out, though. You can touch the screen of the wristband to signal that you're starting or ending an activity. Then the scale measures your body fat and weight, while the monitor tracks your heart rate. You wear the heart monitor on a band around your chest. The best part about it is that you can set goals and measure your progress. ,F: How much does it cost? ,M: The whole set is around $400. But you can just buy the wristband if you want, which is $180. ,F: Wow, that's not exactly a bargain, is it?
(A) M: Why do you think they're worth the money? (B) M: Why you are not very impressed by them? But I heared that you prefer the new products than old one? (C) M: You are not very impressed by them? (D) M: I am sorry. You spoke so rapidly that I did not catch the meaning of what you said. Could you repeat that?
