[Q]: Read the below conversation. M: You know, Sally, we've both been working too hard. We've got to get away for a while, even if it's just for a few days. W: What a good idea, Eric! That would be wonderful. Let me look at my schedule...I could take off a week from Thursday, but no sooner. M: Let me look at my schedule too...Yes, that looks good. W: I thought you had a basketball game every Thursday until the end of the month. M: Oh, you're right. I must have forgotten to write that down. How about the next Thursday after that? Basketball season's over then. Do you know if you can get it off? W: That's Thursday and Friday, the third and fourth? I don't care if I can-I will get off. We need the change. Where would you like to go? New York? M: No, we don't have enough time to go there, and it's too expensive anyway. W: And we want to relax, not run around all the time. I know! Do you remember that little hotel in Wilmington, Vermont, where we stayed years ago? That would be perfect. M: Well, that was July, though. I wonder if they're open in the winter. W: Most likely, during skiing season. Uh...oh, I'd forgotten about skiing season. I don't know if we could get a room. M: I'll call and find out. Do you remember the name? What would the listener say?

[Q]: Read the below conversation. M: I'm really exhausted, Mary. But I don't want to miss the Hollywood movie that comes on at 11. What would the listener say?
****
[A]: W: If I were you, I'd skip it. We both have to get up early tomorrow. And anyway I've heard it's not as exciting as advertised.

[Q]: Read the below conversation. M: Have you been to exhibitions in your spare time? W: Yes, a lot of times. I like exhibitions-exhibitions about famous people: dancers, actors, you know? M: Mm, and what about a folk concert? Have you ever been to one of them? W: No. I don't like folk music very much. M: What about the opera? W: No, never. I don't really like the opera. It is a bit too heavy for me. M: A pop concert? W: Yes. I saw Madonna once. She was fantastic-she is a really great dancer. M: And have you ever been to the theater? What would the listener say?
****
[A]: W: Yes I have.

[Q]: Read the below conversation. M: Hi, Susan. Where were you at lunch time? I was saving a seat for you in the dining hall. W: Oh, sorry to have missed you. But my thirst for knowledge was greater than my pains of hunger. M: I never had that problem. So where were you? What would the listener say?
