Read the below conversation. M: Hi, Helen, what do you think of our class in Children's Literature? W: It looks pretty good. Are you also majoring in Elementary Education? M: Yes. I can use this to fulfill the requirement for my course. W: Have you finished the first assignment yet? M: Not yet. I just bought the books today. How about you? W: I started this afternoon. It's great fun reading those wonderful children stories by Doctor Seuss. M: Doctor Seuss? I don't remember seeing his name on the reading list. W: His full name's Theodore Seuss Geisel. You can find this name on the reading list. Doctor Seuss is his pen name. M: I love reading those stories as a child. It'll be interesting to read them now from a different point of view. I guess they'll give me a good idea of how children think. W: Those stories are also great for classroom use. M: How's that? W: Well, take a typical Doctor Seuss's book like The Cat in the Hat. It has a controlled vocabulary of only two hundred words. M: So that means the children get lots of practices using a small number of words over and over again. W: Exactly. In fact The Cat in the Hat was written mainly to show how a controlled-vocabulary book could also be interesting and fun. What would the listener say?

Q: Read the below conversation. W: On today's show we have Dennis Dean, owner of Double the Fun bus parties. Hi, Dennis. Can you tell us what you do? M: Well, Double the Fun is a party bus where you and up to 50 friends can hold celebrations. All buses have fridges for cold drinks, disco-quality sound, an amazing light show and comfortable leather seats. What we don't have is cooking equipment. All buses also have a bus host, whose job is to make sure all the guests get back on the bus after each stop. W: After each stop? So guests don't spend the whole evening driving around on the bus? M: No! In fact, we take them to 4 different clubs during the evening. At each club, we've booked special VIP entrance, which means no waiting to get in, and everyone gets a free drink. W: Anything else our listeners should know about the parties? M: Yes, all guests must be smartly dressed. No jeans or sports shoes. The only exception would be if they want to have a fancy-dress party. And we need to know the time you book if you are planning a fancy-dress party. Clubs like to know in advance when parties will be arriving. What would the listener say?
A: W: Thanks, Dennis.
Question: Read the below conversation. M: Hi, what can I do for you? W: I'd like to send this package to France. Can it be delivered in the next five days? M: Yes. We offer an overnight service. It'll cost 70 dollars. W: Ah, that's a bit expensive. Do you have a three-day service? M: No, but we can get your package to France in one week for 40 dollars. W: Well, that sounds good. I'll take that. Is the service guaranteed? M: Yes. We also offer a service where we can track your package. But that will cost 10 dollars extra. What would the listener say?
Answer: W: Oh, I won't need the tracking service...
[Q]: Read the below conversation. W: I understand how you feel, sir. But there simply isn't any room. The person who received your reservation call must have forgotten to write it down. I'm afraid it was just a mistake. She is new, you know. M: Just a mistake? Do you realize that I've invited some very important people to dinner? It could cause me to lose an important business partner. W: I'm sorry, sir. I suggest you call them and explain the problem. I'm sure you'll find several other very good restaurants around here. M: I can't get in touch with them now. They are probably on their way at this very minute. Surely you could fit one more table in. W: Not unless you'd like me to put you in the hall, sir. What would the listener say?
****
[A]: M: Well, that's better than nothing.
