Problem: Read the below conversation. W: Hi, John. M: Oh! Hi, Laura. What are you doing here? W: Uh, I'm usually here on weekends. It's my uncle's shop. So you are looking for a bike? M: Yeah. Now that the weather is warming up, I thought I should get some exercise instead of taking the bus all the time. W: Well, that's a good idea and you come to the right place. Do you know what you like? M: Well, I don't want a racer or a touring bike or anything like that. Mostly I'll just be using it to get me back and forth from work. W: How far is that? M: About four miles. W: Are there a lot of hills on the way? M: Some, I guess. But maybe I should tell you at first that I only got 150 dollars. Can I get anything decent for that? W: Well, you are not going to get anything on the top of the line. But we do have a few trade-ins in the back that are in good condition. M: That sounds good. What would the listener say?

A: W: And you are right. For the kind of ride you are going to be doing, the most important thing is comfort. You want to make sure it's the right height for you? Follow me and I'll show you what we've got.
input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. M: Say, Rason, what are you watching? W: An old Japanese film. I wonder if I'm going to spend all my next year there, I'd better start familiarizing myself with the culture. M: You mean you are accepted into the program? W: Yes. M: That's wonderful. You must be excited. W: Excited and nervous. You know I owe a lot to Professor Mercheno. He wrote a letter of recommendation for me and he bought me a set of practice tapes and a book which goes with them. Just so I can work on my basic conversation skills. M: How much Japanese can you understand? W: Not a lot at present. But I signed up for intensive Japanese this semester. M: I Wish I were as talented as you are in foreign languages. I'd like to study abroad. W: Then why don't you? The university has lots of overseas programs that don't require mastery of a foreign language. The tuition is about the same. You just have to be the kind of person who is receptive to new ways of looking at things and willing to adjust to a different kind of life style. M: I had assumed that all programs require you to know a foreign language. I might check into this. What would the listener say?
