Teacher: In this task, you will be shown a conversation. You need to write a question with three choices for the conversation. Your question should be answerable based on the conversation and only have one correct answer. Note that you don't need to answer your question. "W" and "M" in the conversations stand for "woman" and "man".
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
W: The movie next Tuesday has been cancelled due to lack of interest. M: What do you mean? W: Well, by last night only a few tickets has been sold.
Solution: What can we conclude about the movie? (A) They want to buy the tickets for the movie. (B) The tickets for the movie were sold. (C) The movie will not be shown.
Reason: This is a good example. Based on the conversation, the movie has been canceled, and it will not be shown. We could understand that only option (C) is correct. As mentioned in the conversation, only a few tickets have been sold, so option (B) is incorrect. We don't know if they wanted to buy a ticket or not, so option (A) is incorrect as well.

Now, solve this instance: W: Sir, you've been using the online catalogue for quite a while. Is there anything I can do to help you? M: Well, I've got to write a paper about Hollywood in the 30s and 40s, and I'm really struggling. There are hundreds of books, and I just don't know where to begin. W: Your topic sounds pretty big. Why don't you narrow it down to something like.., uh... the history of the studios during that time? M: You know, I was thinking about doing that, but more than 30 books came up when I typed in "movie studios". W: You could cut that down even further by listing the specific years you want. Try adding "1930s" or "1940s" or maybe "Golden Age". M: "Golden Age" is a good idea, Let me type that in. Hey, look, just 6 books this time That's a lot better. W: Oh, another thing you might consider. Have you tried looking for any magazines or newspaper articles? M: No, I've only been searching for books. W: Well, you can look up magazine articles in the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature. M: Okay, I think I'll get started with these books and then I'll go over the magazines. W: If you need any help, I'll be over at the Reference Desk. M: Great, thanks a lot.
