PROBLEM: F: What do you think about this idea? Going for a picnic. ,M: Well, I'm not sure, I think it's a bit boring. I think barbecue on the beach would be more fun. ,F: Yes, I agree, but it's quite a lot of work. Someone has to stand here and cook all night. I think we should go to a restaurant instead. ,M: That's true, but it's quite expensive to go to a restaurant. ,F: Well, what about having a party at someone's house? We could order a pizza or just some hamburgers. ,M: I suppose so, I think a fancy dress party is a good idea. We could have a competition and decide who is wearing the best clothes.
(A) F: I agree with you. Having a picnic is the best idea. (B) F: Yeah. We should have a barbecue on the beach. (C) F: I am afraid I did not quite catch what you were saying. Please repeat it. (D) F: Yeah. We will have a fancy dress party and a barbecue.

PROBLEM: M: Hey, Jenny, what's the matter? ,F: I was just online in a chat room with three Germans. They used a lot of idioms on purpose and I didn't understand, so I asked them what they meant. Then they started to ignore me and after a while I started to feel stupid. ,M: Oh, you shouldn't. Your German is really good. ,F: But it seems they were using their German ability to have fun with each other. They didn't really want to include me. ,M: Well, some people are like that. That's all. You can't let them bother you. One nice thing about chat room is that you can leave and go to another one.
(A) F: You're right. And I practised German with her friends online just now. (B) F: You're right. And I learned some German idioms online just now. (C) F: You're right. And I chatted with others online just now. (D) F: I'm sorry, I don't understand. Could you say it again?
