PROBLEM: M: Would you please tell me about your best holiday, Nancy? W: Well, it was my trip in Nepal. We went there 10 years ago, doing some walking in the mountains. M: How long did you stay there? W: 20 days. M: 20 days! That's a long time. How far did you walk every day? W: Perhaps 15 kilometers. You have to climb up and down a lot every day. M: So, it was very hard. W: Yes, very hard. Sometimes, it's difficult to walk in the mountains where the air is very thin, and you have a lot of problems when breathing. M: What kind of equipment did you take? W: Not much. Only a bag, a sleeping bag and some warm clothing. We carried all the things by ourselves. M: And how was the food? W: There was rice and some vegetables, normally no meat. But it was good. M: What was the best thing about the trip? W: The walking and the exercise. I hate sitting in the sun and like to be out in the countryside. The air is very clean and it's very quiet.

PROBLEM: W: Hey, I'm a little bit upset about that television you people sold me. I got it home and the thing doesn't work! The lines.., the... there're lines all over the picture! I'm just not satisfied. I'd like to have my money back, or give me a new television. M: Well, it's not my fault! What did you do with it when you got it home? W: I just plugged it in and turned it on. M: Well, it was working fine when you took it... when you left here. W: Well, I think the least you people can do is to come over and adjust it for me, and make sure the thing's working all right. M: Well, I wouldn't mind doing that. Or you could bring it here and I'll have a look at it. But you bought a second-hand TV and there's only a... two-day warranty on it. W: Second-hand? Second-hand?! That thing was supposed to be new! Your salesman told me it was brand new. M: Well, I can't be responsible for that., Question: What does the man agree to do in the end? (A) Give the money back to the woman.
