Dialogue: M: Hi, Tracy. I went into the college today to find out about evening classes. W: I still remember the painting course had so many people in it that you couldn't really get any personal help. M: Yes, but they have decided to limit the number this year, so if you want to do it you have to book a place. Anyway I wonder whether I ought to do computing really. W: But would it be advanced enough for you? M: I think so. The woman who runs it is supposed to be very good. She's not just a programmer. She's a well-trained teacher as well. W: It's up to you of course. But at the end of a day's work, I just want something relaxing. And I'd have to pay for materials. I can't afford more than the minimum. M: Then why don't you try Spanish? And it'd be really useful on holiday. W: Don't the language courses last two terms? M: I don't think so. Question: Why does the man suggest the woman study Spanish? - The course doesn't last very long. - It won't cost too much and it's useful. - There will be a limit on the number of people next year.
It won't cost too much and it's useful.

Question: Dialogue: W: There are many interesting stories about how a baby learns to say its first word. Now Mike, would you like to share your story with us? M: OK, here's my story, I was about 18 months old I think and I had just started to say my first word. Every time a truck went by, I would shout a word that sounded like a track, but to everyone else, it sounded nothing like it. My parents tried to correct me, but failed. Then, about three months later, we traveled to New York, as we were waiting for our plane at the air?port. I looked out of a huge window, at that very moment I saw the largest truck in the world, I had to tell someone about this. I turned to my father who was standing next to about a thousand people waiting for the very flight and screamed "Track! Track!" My father tried hard to shut me up, but I was so excited, I kept screaming my special word. My poor mother decided she didn't know this baby and then ran into the ladies-room where she hid until I finally stopped. Well, I learned how to say truck correctly, and soon I was talking like a normal child. However, my parents will never forget the very first word I produced in my life. Question: Why did the mother pretend not to know the baby? - She got angry with the father. - She was frightened by the noise. - She felt uneasy about the noisy baby.
