Problem: Read the below conversation. M: Is that a new computer? W: Yeah. My grandpa gave it to me as a graduation gift. Isn't it nice? M: It is. I can't believe it's so thin! What kind of computer is it? W: It's an Apple MacBook Air. It's very lightweight and has a bunch of built-in apps. I couldn't be happier with it. M: Do they have any other colors besides that one? W: I don't know. I like this color. I've ordered a pink cover for it, but it won't arrive for a couple of weeks. M: Does the computer have a disk drive? W: No, it doesn't, but I don't need one. All of my documents are online. M: Well, you're very lucky. It will be great to have this when you start looking for jobs. W: I already have. Today, I spent the day at the cafe working on my resume. This computer has great battery life. M: Well, that's good. But the cafe near here is always so crowded. What would the listener say?

A: W: I know. But I like to work in busy cafes. The noise reminds me that everyone else is working hard, so I work hard, too.

Problem: Read the below conversation. M: Hi, are you being helped? W: No, I'm not. I'm interested in some gloves. M: All our gloves are here. What do you think of this pair here? It's made of silk. W: Hm, it looks nice, but I'd like to have something warm for the winter. M: Maybe you would like heavy wool gloves. How about this pair? W: I think that's what I want. How much is it? M: It's... forty dollars. W: It's a little expensive. Do you think it's possible to get a discount? M: Hm, since you like it so much, how about a 10 percent discount. That's the best I can offer. W: That's good. M: Is there anything else I can get for you, a pair of socks? What would the listener say?

A: W: No, that should be it. Thank you.

Problem: Read the below conversation. W: Sam, I think it's time for you to get a summer job. When I was your age, I started working at the pool. M: Mom, I really don't have time to work this summer. I am going to go to summer school and I need to practice skateboarding. Also, I want to go to the lake with Jeremy. W: Well, how are you going to pay to go to the lake? You are getting too old for us to give you money. You're not a young kid anymore! Also, college is very expensive these days. You should start saving money now - college is only three years away! M: OK, I'll apply for some jobs this weekend. Can you help me fill out job applications? What would the listener say?

A: W: Yes, I will help you. You should get an application from the supermarket on Walnut Street. Ms. Jacobs told me they are hiring students this summer.

Problem: Read the below conversation. M: Operator, I booked a long-distance collect call for my sister in Switzerland 25 minutes ago, but I haven't got a reply yet. What would the listener say?

A:
W: Sorry, I ring it for you right now.
