Question: Read the below conversation. W: Derek, how is your knee today? Is it still giving you trouble? M: No, it feels a lot better today. I went to the doctor and he told me it was only a pull.

W: Yes, I have some films showing Michigan in the last three games. They're in my office. If you want to see them, you can. M: Oh, that would be great. I'd like to see what we are up against. W: Michigan has a strong team. We're in for a tough one. They are one of the top football teams in the counry now since they beat Iowa last weekend.

I'll be back tomorrow afternoon for full practice. What would the listener say?

M: We are looking for a hotel. Are there any hotels near here? W: Yes, there are some hotels in the street. The nearest one is next to the bank. It's quite modern.

input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. W: My colleagues at work say I should get a health insurance. What do you think? M: I think it's important. I can give you my insurance agent's card if you want. W: But I'm not sure what kind I need. In Germany, we have a national insurance program. But here you have nothing. M: Yes, I know. Many countries have national health insurance. America doesn't. W: Why is that? M: Well, it's because of the American culture. Americans think private companies can do things better than the government. So we depend on private companies for insurance. W: But isn't that expensive? M: You're right. It is expensive. And many people criticize it. They say it is not fair to poor people. They say the health systems are better in other countries, especially in Europe. W: But what do you think? What would the listener say?

output: M: I have no idea. I just do my best to have good insurance. It's important.
Please answer this: Read the below conversation. W: Why do we have to walk to the station? And where is it? M: It's just down that road...I think. W: Look! There's a policeman! Ask him the way. M: All right. I'll go and ask him. W: (pause for 6 seconds) So,what did he say? M: Well, we have to walk down this road, take the first turning on the left. Then walk until we come to the river and... W: The river? M: Yes. It's over there, and there's a bridge. Across the bridge, we will be able to see some road signs which will tell us the way. W: But how far is it? How long does it take to walk there? M: About fifteen minutes, if we walk quickly. W: Fifteen minutes! We may be late for the train. And with these heavy bags, too! I think we ought to take a taxi. M: Not at this hour. Look at the traffic. It's moving very slowly. We can get there just as quickly on foot. W: Well, I can't possibly carry this bag any farther. M: All right. Let me take it, then. W: Don't be silly. You can't carry two bags at the same time. M: Yes, I can. The bags aren't that heavy...hmm! W: You see! They're heavier than you thought!
