[Q]: Read the below conversation. M: Oh, we still haven't decided what to get him. W: I know. It's hard. What does he need? M: Well, darling, the other day he said that he needed a car. W: Yeah, right. Well, I think that's a little beyond us. M: Yeah, it'd be fun, but it's just a little too expensive. W: There's the usual kind of thing, like a wallet or tie. M: Oh, please, not for his sixtieth. I think we should get him something more expensive than that, don't you? I mean, we want to get something good, something... W: Something unusual? M: Yeah. W: Well, how about a computer? We could get him a computer. That way we could keep in touch on email. What would the listener say?

[A]: M: No, no, no. You know him. He says he's too old to learn how to use a computer. He isn't, of course, but I don't think he'd ever use it.

[Q]: Read the below conversation. W: Hi, Bob. I heard about your accident but I didn't think it would be this bad. M: Well, thanks for making me feel better. W: I can hardly recognize you. Tell me what happened. M: I just got back from Africa where I had a terrible accident in a motorcycle race. I broke both my legs when my motor failed and was hit by another motorcycle. I was laid up in a hospital over there for three weeks. W: Three weeks, that's a long time. What did you do while you were in the hospital? M: Well, if you can believe it, I read all about motorcycle racing. I love racing even if it hurts. W: But I'm afraid you don't make it look very funny. You're lucky to be alive. M: That's for sure. I am lucky to be alive. W: How soon can you get well? Did the doctor tell you about it? M: They say I still need to stay in bed for two weeks or so. W: I think you'll get a bit fatter by then. By the way, is there anything I can do for you? M: No, thank you. Thank you for the beautiful flowers. It's very kind of you to come to see me. W: I'll be going then. Bye. What would the listener say?

[A]: M: Bye.

[Q]: Read the below conversation. M: Excuse me, Is there an airline flying to New York this afternoon? W: Sorry, sir. I can't sell you a ticket. Our computer is down. M: If your computer is down, just write me a ticket. W: Sorry, I can't. The computer is the only one allowed doing so. M: Hmm... Then what do all you people do? W: We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not. M: So when it goes down, you go down with it W: That's very good, sir. M: How long will the computer be down? W: Sorry, I've got no idea. Sometimes it's down for 10 minutes; sometimes for two hours. There's no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it's down, it won't answer us. M: Well, let's forget the computer. Is there any other airline flying to New York within the next few hours? What would the listener say?
****
[A]: W: I wouldn't know. Only the computer knows. It just can't tell me.
