Question: M: Oh, hi, Cathy. Sure. What's up? W: Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office. M: I'm not in there very often. It's so noisy that I can't work. W: That's exactly what I'm getting at. We're supposed to be able to do our preparation in that office, but have you noticed? Jack constantly has students coming in and get help with his course. M: We can't really ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we? W: No, of course not. But I'm not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it's the same for the others in the office. M: Hmm, could we ask for a kind of meeting room? When we have to talk to students, we could go to the meeting room. W: Good idea.

Answer: W: Stan, do you have a minute?
[Q]: W: Yes. We'd like some information, please. M: Ok, where do you plan to go? W: Yes, we've agreed on Italy. How much is the air fare to Italy? M: When are you going there? W: We don't really know. June, or maybe July. M: I see. Well, in May and June, the fare is $480. But it's much less in March and April. W: Much less? How much is it then? M: It's only $410. W: That's really a good price. But my husband hates the cold weather there. So let me talk with him first. M: No problem. What was said before this conversation?

Last time I took this coach it was only 50. Hmm, does this coach still leave 2:15? M: 2:15 at Gate 11. You ought to be at door by 2:00, though. W: Fine. M: Do you want to check in your suitcases?

Answer: W: Did you visit the Television Tower when you had your vacation in Shanghai last summer?
Problem: M: I sure did. Why did you ask me about that? W: Well, I'm thinking about taking it next year. I want to know something about it beforehand. M: As far as I'm concerned, I suggest that you not take it. W: Why not? Is the professor awful or is the lecturing boring? M: The professor is nice enough. But the course is nothing but physics and chemistry with lots of equations. You can't just mix the right chemicals and watch what happens. As you go along you have to keep care notes and turn it all into a bunch of numbers and formulas after the experiment is over. It was the worst course I've ever taken. W: What you say is no problem for me. To tell you the truth, [ like formulas and numbers. That's what I'm different from you. M: Is it? Then you'll love it if it is the case. But all that I was interested in was biology and we didn't get to that till the last three weeks of the class. What a year! What was said before this conversation?

A: W: Oh! I am glad to see you. How are you going recently? They say you took Introduction to Seience, didn't you?
input: Please answer the following: Roger: Well, I suppose any one who moves to the country wants their life to be different in some way. I mean, if you have always lived in a city, as I had, then something must happen to make you want to move. In my case I was made redundant, and, when it came to looking around for a new job, I just couldn't face going back into an office again. So I sat down and thought about what I'd really like to do. Interviewer: And that, I suppose, turned out to be something in the country? Roger: No, initially I didn't think of moving, but just of getting a different kind of job, you know social work with kids or old people, that kind of tiring. Interviewer: So what happened, why didn't you? Roger: Well, I hadn't got any of the right qualifications, and it would have taken me two years to get qualified and I certainly didn't want to go back to formal education again. Interviewer: Couldn't you have learned while on the job sort of picked it up as you went along? Roger: No, you have to have a diploma. Anyway, after talking it over with friends who had moved out I thought I'd like to give it a try--after all, a change of scene... Interviewer: Is better than.., yes, we all know that. So, where did you go when you did decide to move? Roger: I went right out to Shropshire. After all I thought if you're going to go rural you might as well do it properly. The first problem though was how I was going to make a living. There are fewer jobs in the country, so I decided to start up on my own. Interviewer: That's pretty ambitious, a townie moving off to the depths of the country and setting up his own business. How did you start, had you got any skills? Roger: I'd always had a garden and grown some vegetables and flowers, you know, usual things, salad stuff, carrots, peas, beans, a bit of fruit, some roses.., so I thought of a small holding, a kind of small farm. But when I looked at the prices to buy, I changed my mind; I didn't have that kind of money. Interviewer: OK, a farm's out--so what's next? Roger: I settled on...
