Problem: Read the below conversation. W: Wake up. It's almost eight o'clock. M: No, please. Let me sleep on! I couldn't get to sleep until 3 o'clock this morning. W: Why? What's wrong with you? M: I felt pain all over my body. Can you get me some medicine? W: Will aspirin do? M: No, aspirin isn't strong enough. What would the listener say?

A: W: Then I can do nothing but call for a doctor.

Problem: Read the below conversation. M: Are you quite independent of your parents now? W: Yes. As soon as I left school, I... my studies as a nurse. I stopped asking my parents for money since I got financial support from the government. But I still stay with them a lot. M: You're staying ... very close to your parents? W: I am. They never forced me to do anything I didn't want to do. What about you? M: Well, I am also fond of my family. But I don't always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much. W: But they allowed you to come to study in England on your own. What would the listener say?

A: M: Yes, but, only after a lot of persuasion. Your parents treat you as an adult. Mine treat me as a child.

Problem: Read the below conversation. W: Hello. This is Barbara from the Rainbow Hotel. Is Jimmy at home? What would the listener say?

Problem: Read the below conversation. W: I heard you got a new roommate. What's he like? M: Yeah, Bob moved in last week. He is a nice guy and so far everything is cool except his girlfriend. W: Oh? What's wrong with his girlfriend? M: She came to see him last weekend. She is a nice girl but there's something wrong with her voice. I tried to smile and be polite, but the whole time all I could think was "what's wrong with her voice". W: Well, I guess it might take some time to get used to. M: I doubt it. Listening to her talk is terrible. W: Oh, come on, it's not that bad. What would the listener say?

A:
M: No, it's so much bad. And they invited me out to dinner tonight. I really have no idea how I'm going to pull it off.
