Problem: Read the below conversation. W: Honey, how long have we been living here? M: About 10 years. What's wrong? W: I am thinking about redecorating our house. M: That would cost a lot of money. But we do need to do some changes to the house. W: Right. What about repainting the living room in yellow? M: Good idea. I like the countryside style. W: Great minds think the same. And we can also ask someone to draw a picture on the wall. M: It sounds great. And the curtain should be changed too. What would the listener say?

A: W: OK. Maybe we should make a blue program first.

Problem: Read the below conversation. M: Hi, Kate. Have you any plans for the weekend? W: Yeah, I'm really excited, Jack. I'm going up to New York City for a couple of days. M: My roommate's going to New York, too. Are you driving? Maybe you two could ride together. W: No, I'm going to take a train to the Plain Station. I've already got my ticket. M: So what are you going to do in New York? W: I'm visiting a friend I met last summer at the music camp. I shared a camp with Laura and she's just moved to Manhattan. So I'm going up to see her new place. M: You two probably have a lot to talk about? Didn't you tell me you were from New York? W: No, I'm from California. I've never been to New York before. We are going to hear an opera at Lincoln Center on Saturday night. What would the listener say?

A: M: Wow, I wish I were going with you.

Problem: Read the below conversation. W: What time do you get up to go to work, Jerry? M: I'm usually up by 6:00 and out of the house by 6:15. W: That's pretty early. Don't you start work at 9:00? M: Well, I go to the gym every morning before I arrive at the office. There aren't many other people there at that time, and I usually don't feel like exercising after a long day at work. But the real reason is that it gives me the energy I need to make it through the day. W: So, you take a shower at the gym every morning? M: During the week, yes. I don't go to the gym on the weekend. I get all the exercise I need playing with my two sons at the park! W: I'll bet! My husband is always tired after he takes our daughter hiking in the mountains on the weekends. M: Hey, Sophie, we should all get together and do something fun this weekend. I know Molly would love to see you. What would the listener say?

A: W: That sounds great.

Problem: Read the below conversation. W: John, are you going straight home after school today? What would the listener say?

A:
M: No, I'll have a class until one o'clock, and after that I'm going to spend two hours at the library before going home.
