Problem: Given the question: Read the below conversation. Pete: Hey Markus. I have a question I'd like to ask you. Markus: Yes. Go ahead. Pete: Well, I'm thinking about going to Germany this summer [Great!], and I need some advice. You're the best person I know to answer my questions since you're German. Markus: Thank you. What do you want to know? Pete: Well, don't laugh, but I met this really nice woman through an online music mailing list, you know, a discussion group on the Internet [laughter]. I need some advice. You see, Claudia, ... Markus: Okay. So it's Claudia, oh? Pete: Yeah, yeah. See, she invited me to spend two weeks in Germany [Hum]. And well, I told here I had studied a little bit about the country and language [Hum], and she's kind of expecting that I know more than I really do. Markus: Hum. You're really in hot water now! Pete: Yeah. I think so. Markus: Well, what do you want to know? Pete: Well, she's planning on introducing me to her parents. Markus: Hey. Sounds kind of serious. Pete: It isn't, at least I think it isn't. Anyway, what should you do when you greet someone for the first time in Germany? Markus: Well, it depends upon your relationship with the person. Now, speaking of your girlfriend, Claudia, .... Pete: Hey, I didn't say she was my girlfriend. Markus: Ah, okay, okay. Now if you're meeting someone formally for the first time, like Claudia's parents, you should make sure you arrive on time. Pete: Okay, so arrive on time. Uh, what about common greetings? Markus: Well, Germans often shake hands, and they use the person's family name, unless they're really close friends. Pete: Okay, what about with Claudia? I'm not sure what I should do in her case. Markus: Ah. You can call her Claudia [Okay], shake hands, and why don't you take her some flowers? Pete: Oh, how do you say "Nice to meet you" anyway? Markus: Oh, "Ich freue mich, Sie kennenzulernen." Pete: "Ich freu me senselen...? " Markus: Uhhh. Not exactly. "Ich freue mich, Sie kennenzulernen" [Uhhh]. What would the listener say?

The answer is:
Markus: Humm. Honestly, I think you need to take a crash course in German before you leave. Claudia might think you're speaking Chinese or something if you don't.

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: Hi, Queenie, how are you enjoying yourself at university? W: Hi, Jack, it's a lot of work. But I am having a good time. Are you planning to attend college next year? M: Yeah. Can you tell me what facilities they have for disabled students? My wheelchair doesn't always allow me to get into buildings. W: You should inquire at Student Services. They can discuss your medical history with you confidentially and make allowances. My friends Shannon and Rosie use computers to do their exams, so in your case, I'm sure it would not be a problem. M: What about the wheelchair access? W: The newer buildings have elevators and wide doors, but the older buildings have not been upgraded to accommodate handicapped people as far as I know. What faculty are you planning to go into? M: I am thinking of doing engineering. W: Hmm. Engineering is in the old Adams building. I don't know if there is an elevator. M: Do the buses that go out to campus have facilities to bring wheelchairs on board? W: Yes, that I know for sure. All the buses are equipped with electronic lifts, and there are seats that fold back. M: What about the sidewalks? W: I think most of the sidewalks have been leveled at the corners, so you could probably use your wheelchair, but I am not sure. In fact, if you would like, why don't you come with me? I'll be taking the bus and I could show you around once we got there. M: That's really nice of you, Raphel. I'd really like that. W: Okay, I will come to your house about 8:30 in the morning and we can take the commuter train into town, then catch the bus up to the university. What would the listener say?
