Problem: Read the below conversation. W: If you aren't doing anything particular, shall we see the new play at the Grand Theater tonight? What would the listener say?

A: M: Sounds great. But I've got to go over my notes for tomorrow's midterm.

Problem: Read the below conversation. W: Did you attend Alice's presentation last night? It was the first time for her to give a speech to a large audience. What would the listener say?

A: M: How she could be so calm in front of so many people is really beyond me!

Problem: Read the below conversation. M: Catherine, you look great in these photos. W: Oh, thanks. I got into that wedding dress with great difficulty. It was too small. M: Why didn't you get one your size? W: Oh, it was my grandmother's - my mother wore it on her wedding day, and I really wanted to wear it on mine. I suffered for six months so I could wear it. M: How did you do it? W: Do you know this diet that many actors are doing? I don't think it's very healthy if you do it for a long time, but it really works. M: I think meat is not allowed in your diet. W: No, actually, you can eat things like, um, roast chicken, steak, and bacon, but you can't eat any bread and butter. M: Is it the diet that you love but have to avoid? What would the listener say?

A: W: That's right. Dieting is so boring. Hopefully, I won't need to wear the wedding dress again anyway.

Problem: Read the below conversation. M: Morning, Sue. Did you enjoy your holiday in the country? W: Yes, thanks. We had a great time. And some friends went with us. M: Where did you stay? In a hotel? W: No. We camped in the mountains, near Snowdon. We cooked all our meals over an open fire. M: Sounds wonderful. Was the weather good? W: The sun shone nearly every day and it didn't rain at all. M: Did you like the people there? W: Yes, they were great. We met some farmers and had tea in their houses. M: When did you get back? Last night? W: No. This morning. You'll think we were mad. We got up at 4:30, left at 5 and arrived here at 9. I'm so tired. What about you? Did you have a good weekend? What would the listener say?

A:
M: Yes, but I didn't do much. I stayed at home. The weather was terrible.
