Problem: Read the below conversation. M: Oh, hi, Fred! I didn't know whether to save you a place or not. Why are you so late? M: It's our maths teacher. She always keeps us in class until ten past ten. W: Doesn't she know that you're supposed to get out at ten? M: I guess so. But she never looks at her watch. She just keeps talking. W: Don't the students complain about it? I would say something. M: No. Everybody is too polite. W: Well, you could try and talk to her. M: Maybe. But I'm afraid she might feel hurt. W: Well,it all depends on how and when you say it. If you tell her about it in a friendly way when she's not busy, she might be thankful. She might even ask you to remind her of the time in the future. What would the listener say?

A: M: Really? That would be wonderful. Thanks for your advice.

Problem: Read the below conversation. M: Today I'm interviewing nine-year old Catherine about her feelings on how people can help save the environment. So, Catherine, how call we save the environment? W: By saving water. M: Well, how can we do that? W: By not using too much water when we wash dishes, take a bath, and when we do other things like watering the plants outside. M: Oh, what else? W: When drinking or eating something outside, you should keep the garbage until you rind a garbage can to put it in. Because throwing rubbish carelessly makes our planet dirty, Do you like seeing rubbish all over the ground? M: No, I don't. Do you have any other suggestions? W: Yes, we shouldn't waste paper, because trees are being cut down to make paper. By saving paper, we save the forests where animals live. M: So how can children save paper? I mean everyday. W: Well, for example, when I was in kindergarten, I used to save newspapers so that I could fold things out of them like paper trees instead of just throwing them away. Now the children in our neighborhood collect newspapers once a month to take them to a factory as raw material. What would the listener say?

A: M: That's great. Well, thanks Catherine for your ideas.

Problem: Read the below conversation. W: What do you think of my new car? What would the listener say?

A: M: To be honest, it is no better than mine.

Problem: Read the below conversation. M: It's a vicious circle, really. It takes me the best part of an hour to get here in the morning, so I honestly never have time for breakfast. W: But you should always have something. According to nutrition experts, it's the most important meal of the day. M: That's a load of rubbish, if you ask me. It's all very well for them. They've probably got time for it. I haven't. Anyway, when I get to work, I'm plunged into the usual stressful day, and my hunger just sort of evaporates. W: Yes. I only live around the corner, but I often skip breakfast myself, but I suppose you could always make up for it at the lunch time. M: I should, but more often than not I just grab a cup of coffee and a few biscuits, or a sandwich. W: There's nothing wrong with that. That's all I ever have when I'm busy. M: Fine, but what happens as the day wears on is that the less you eat, the less you want to eat. Abstinence seems to suppress the appetite, somehow. W: Well, I suspect what we ought to be doing is establishing a regular pattern of eating, instead of just grabbing what we can when we can. M: Em, a sensible conventional diet. There's no doubt that's the way to go, so shall we now go and do something for a change? You name the restaurant and I'll treat you to lunch. What would the listener say?

A:
W: That will be nice.
