Read the below conversation. W: Why is it so hot these days? M: The weather report says another typhoon is forming in the western Pacific and is moving towards the mainland.

M: It is expected to arrive here tomorrow evening. W: So we must be prepared for it. What would the listener say?

Answer: M: Yes. The government has warned the fishermen not to go fishing too far out to sea, and told all citizens not to stay out when the typhoon arrives. I'm afraid it will cause a serious damage. We'll have to be careful.

Read the below conversation. W: Have you ever been to New Orleans? M: No. What is it like? W: It's one of the most interesting cities in the United States. It has a French Quarter, with narrow streets and little shops. Many of the shops and restaurants are French. M: There's a lot of jazz music in New Orleans, isn't there? W: Yes. You hear wonderful jazz there. New Orleans and San Francisco are my two favorite cities. Have you been to San Francisco? M: No. What is it like? W: It has lovely views, and one of the most beautiful bridges in the world - the Golden Gate Bridge. It's a very hilly city. The hills are in the middle of the town, so you have to walk up and down hills when you go anywhere. When you arrive, your car needs good brakes. M: Do you have to drive? Can't you take buses? W: Well, most people who visit San Francisco ride in the cable cars. A cable car goes on tracks, and a strong cable pulls it up the hills. M: That doesn't sound very safe. What would the listener say?

Answer: W: Don't worry. Hundreds of people ride in cable cars every day.
