Please answer this: Read the below conversation. W: And I realized we were completely lost, but at least we got there in the end. M: Funny you should say that because, er, a similar thing happened to me one time when I was abroad. We were actually doing a concert in this bar in Germany. W: Really? M: I was actually about to appear on stage, you know, with the band, and I just thought, "I'll just go out for a little walk and get some fresh air," 'cause I had about half an hour before we had to go on. W: Uh-huh. M: And I went outside,you know,had a look around, walked around for a bit... and then I decided to go back and, uh, I couldn't find it! It was about two minutes before we were supposed to start. W: No, you're joking! M: Yeah! I thought, "Ah! What am I gonna do?" W: Could you ask for directions? M: Well, I tried. I asked an old woman, but she didn't speak English, and I don't speak German... W: Don't you? Oh, right. M: And then, I realized I couldn't remember the name of the bar, or the street it was on or anything. So, you know, I was in the middle of a town I didn't know, not knowing the language... and luckily, I saw someone wearing one of our T-shirts. He was obviously going to the conceit, so I sort of followed him back to the bar. W: Wow, that was lucky! Thank goodness! What would the listener say?

Answer: M: And when I got there, the guys were like, "Where have you been? We thought you'd run out on us!" Anyway, we managed.

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: Hi, Susan. Haven't seen you for ages. How are you getting along with your work? W: Hi, David. Not so well as I expected. I've left my position. I can't bear the rudeness of my boss any longer. M: What are you going to do then? W: No idea. Anyway, I have to think about it seriously. And you, David? M: I've been very successful as a dancer. I like this kind of life. It is so exciting. W: You can't do it forever. M: No, but I've decided to open a dance school once I'm over the top. Our younger dancers need better training.

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: Mary, you know I've been thinking about applying for a job in Germany. Well, I've got the details about different jobs and I'd like your opinion about which would be the best one to go for. F: Where are the jobs? M: One's in Munich, one's in Frankfurt and the other one's in Hamburg. F: Munich's supposed to be a very nice place. M: Yes it is, and it's also in a beautiful part of Germany, not far from the Alias. F: That would be great for the kids--they'd love to be able to go skiing at weekends! M: But, one problem with Munich is that it's growing very fast. That means the cost of living will probably be very high. F: It's a higher salary than the job in Frankfurt but lower than the one in Hamburg. The Hamburg job has the most responsibility. From the point of view of career progression that would probably be the best job for me. F: Hamburg's the closest to Britain, too, so it would be easy to come back for long weekends and holidays. M: That's right, and there's a regular ferry service which would save quite a bit on fares. F: What about the cost of living in Germany as a whole? How does it compare with Britain? M: Well, it's definitely higher than over here, but salaries are substantially higher, so we'd certainly be better off than we are now. F: And what about accommodation? M: Well, actually, flats are much cheaper to rent in towns like Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg than they are here in London, so we'd be able to afford to live in a nice, spacious flat, I'd think. F: Mmm, that'd be nice! And do you know what the cultural facilities are like in these cities? M: In fact, they're quite good in all three. But, of course, Munich has an international reputation as a cultural center. F: Another thing we'll have to consider, of course, are the educational possibilities. How long would you want to go to Germany for? M: I think a maximum of five years. I think working overseas will be good for my career and, of course, it'd be a good experience for you and the kids, too! F: So we'd be there... What would the listener say?

Answer:
M: Right. That's agreed. Now all I have to do is get the job!
