Q: Given the question "What did the woman buy as her husband's birthday present?" and the answer "A tie.", write a conversation that might have happened.
A: M: Can I help you?W: Yes, well, I bought this tie last week for my husband's birthday, and er...well he doesn't like it. Could I change it for something else, such as a shirt or a hat?M: Certainly, madam, provided that it hasn't been worn, and if you have the receipt.W: Yes, here it is.M: OK, er... this tie looks as if it were worn. I'm afraid I can't put that back on the shelf.W: Oh, that's a pity.

Q: Given the question "Where is the man going?" and the answer "To the class.", write a conversation that might have happened.

Q: Given the question "Where aye the speakers?" and the answer "In the shopping district.", write a conversation that might have happened.
A: M: Look, it's full of traffic here. Is this the shopping district?W: Yes, it is. There are a lot of stores, restaurants, and theaters near here.M: What is the largest building on the left?W: That's Honor Department Store. They sell clothing, furniture, food-almost everything.M: Do you like purchasing everything in the supermarket? It's very convenient and saves a lot of time. Now I just want to buy some clothes there.W: Wait a minute please. I'd like to recommend some better stores for man's clothes. Look, there, next to the bank, is a man's clothing store building. And there are also some good stores on Park Street.M: Are they far from here?W: No, it's just three blocks straight ahead.M: Ok, maybe I can shop around by myself. Thanks a lot for your help.W: That's my pleasure. Go ahead.

Q: Given the question "What do we learn about the man from the conversation?" and the answer "He is undecided as to which job to go for.", write a conversation that might have happened.
A:
M: I got two letters this morning with job offers, one from the Polytechnic, and the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy.W: So you are not sure which to go for?M: That's it. Of course, the conditions of work are very different: The Polytechnic is offering two-year contract which could be renewed, but the Language School is only offering a year's contract, and that's a definite minus. It could be renewed, but you never know.W: I see. So it's much less secure. But you don't need to think too much about steady jobs when you are only 23.M: That's true.W: What about the salaries?M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short term. I'll be getting the equivalent of about 22,000 pounds a year there, but only 20,000 pounds at the Polytechnic. But then the hours are different. At the Polytechnic I'd have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administration, whereas the Pistoia school is only asking for 30 hours teaching.W: Mmm...M: Then the type of teaching is so different. The Polytechnic is all adults and mostly preparation for exams like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit of exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in companies and factories, and a couple of children's classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching.W: Well, that sounds much more varied and interesting. And I'd imagine you'd be doing quite a lot of teaching outside the school, and moving around quite a bit.M: Yes, whereas with the Polytechnic position, I'd be stuck in the school all day.
