[Q]: Read the below conversation. W: How came you were absent from class yesterday morning, Henry? M: I'm sorry, Madam. My cousin was coming home from England, and I had to go to the airport with my father to meet him. What would the listener say?
****
[A]: W: Better ask for permission next time.
input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. M: Hey, I'm calling to say that I'm running late to the airport. Can you make sure that the plane doesn't take off without me? W: I'll try. M: Thank you. I'm just sitting here in traffic. There must be an accident or something. I've been here for 30 minutes, and I've barely made it onto the bridge. W: Oh, that's not good. M: This traffic is really stressing me out. I don't want to have to take a later flight! W: I'm sure you'll be able to make it. The plane doesn't leave for another 2 hours. M: Yes, but Google Maps is telling me that I won't be at the airport for another hour and 45 minutes, which means I'll only have 15 minutes to check my bags, get through security, and arrive at the gate. That's impossible! W: You can ask to skip to the head of the line in security. They're usually pretty good about that when you think you might miss your flight. What would the listener say?

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: I think we'd better go over my schedule, Irene. I'm going to have a look at our European operation, as you know, and as I'll be visiting a number of countries, I'd like you to make the bookings. W: Right, Mr Buck. I'll take down the details. M: Well, I'm leaving on Tuesday, April 15th, for London. I'm going to attend a sales conference for our British representatives. That runs through Wednesday and Thursday, and then there's a reception at Canada House on Thursday evening. W: Are you going to meet the Ambassador, then? M: I guess so. But the main thing is that on Friday morning, I have a meeting with the British Minister of Trade and Industry. We're going to discuss the site of our new plant in Scotland. W: So when are you leaving for Paris? M: First flight on Saturday morning. I'm planning to meet my wife there. She's going to fly over direct, arriving in the afternoon. Then we'll have a relaxed weekend before I see Mr Chambery, the European Manager, on Monday. So from Paris on, I'll need a double room. W: How long are you going to stay in Paris, Mr Buck? M: Only till Monday evening. I'm going to Rome to see our plant there on Tuesday, and on Wednesday I'm due in Madrid to inspect the new factory. W: And that's the last item on the agenda. So when are you coming back? Are you going to fly from Madrid? What would the listener say?

Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. W: So, what seems to be the problem, Bobby? M: Dr. Cardano, I woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain in my right foot. W: Did you cut yourself or knock it against something? M: No. It just started hurting all of a sudden. W: Can you describe the pain for me? Is it a sharp pain that comes and goes? Or is it a constant, dull pain that doesn't really ever go away? M: I suppose it's more like the first one. But it's definitely difficult to walk, so it's not really going away, either. W: Let me see those feet, Bobby. M: Do you want me to take off both socks? W: Yes, I'd like to compare your right and left foot. Ah, the right foot is pretty red, and it looks bigger than the left one. It also feels warmer. M: What does it mean, doctor? W: Well, I don't know for sure. It could be one of a couple of things. I'm going to send you up to the lab to get some blood tests. Check in to the lab on the third floor. I'm sending them some instructions. Come back down here as soon as it's finished. M: OK. I need to use the restroom first. Can you tell me where that is? W: Go downstairs to the first floor. It's right next to the elevators. What would the listener say?
