Read the below conversation. Susan: Hi. Welcome back to Susan's Gardening Show. I'm Susan, and we're ready to take our next caller. We have Mark from Seattle. Are you still there, Mark? Mark: Uh. Yeah, but maybe not for long. Susan: So, how can we help you today? Mark: Okay. Uh, my wife is really into gardening, and about five years ago, she received a beautiful climbing rose bush ... I think an Agatha Christie [That's a nice one.] from her mother who has passed away. Anyway, the rose plant seems to be on its last leg. Susan: Really? Nomally, that rose is really quite hardy [I know.], and it's very disease-resistant, too. [I know.] Mark: Yeah. Well, this situation ISN'T normal. You see about a week ago, I was doing some yard work, and I was using some weed killer [UH-oh.], yeah, to try to get rid of some terrible weeds and ... Susan: Did you spray the roses? Mark: Uh, well, not exactly. I set the spray container down near the roses while I was trimming a bush, and the container must have gotten knocked over, and the weed killer soaked into the ground near the roses. Susan: How much weed killer are you talking about? Mark: Uh, about six or seven quarts (about six liters or 1.6 gallons), I think. [Oh, that's a lot.] You know, I mean when you put ... Susan: And the roses? What do they look like now? Mark: Oh, Dead, real dead. Dead as a doornail dead, but my wife hasn't seen them yet. Susan: Really? What have you done? Blindfolded her? Mark: Well, I've kept her away from that side of the house where the roses are, but she is bound to see them at some point. Susan: Yeah, yeah. You've got a problem. Mark: I mean, is there anything I can do to revive them? Susan: Not unless you're a magician. Mark: Well, can you recommend a quick-growing variety that can take its place? Susan: Marc. I'm sorry. You've made a mistake ... A big mistake. Mark: ... except that my wife warned me this could happen ... Oh, man. Susan: Oh, shoot. Listen. You made a blunder. A big mistake. A really big mistake. But unless your wife goes on vacation... What would the listener say?
Ans: Susan: One final word: Hide the weed killer. [But ...] Thanks, Mark. That's all the time we have for now. Let's move on to the next caller.

Read the below conversation. W: What's your major? M: Hotel management. W: What do you want to do when you graduate? M: I'd like to work for a hotel or a travel agency in this area. How about you? W: At first I wanted to major in French or history, but I realized I might have a hard time finding a job, so I major in computer science. With the right skills, getting a job shouldn't be so difficult. M: Do you have a part-time job to support yourself through school? W: Fortunately for me, I received a four-year academic scholarship. M: Wow. That's great. W: Are you working your way through school? What would the listener say?
Ans: M: Yeah. I work as a cook in a restaurant near campus three times a week.

Read the below conversation. W: You know I've often wondered why people laugh at the picture of a big belly businessman slipping on a banana skin and falling on his bottom. We are to feel sorry for them. M: Actually, Laura, I think we laugh because we are glad it didn't happen to us. But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebody self-important making a fool of themselves. W: Yes, and there are a lot of jokes about people who are too fat or physically handicapped, you know, deaf, or short-sighted things like that. After all, it's not really funny to be like that. M: Oh, I think that's because we're embarrassed. We don't know how to cope with the situation. Perhaps we are even a bit frightened we may get like that, so we laugh. M: What about the custard pie routine? W: What do you mean 'custard pie routine'? M: You know, all those old films where someone gets so outraged with his boss, He picks up a custard pie and plasters it all over the other person's face. W: That never makes me laugh much, because you can guess what's going to happen. But a lot of people still find it laughable. It must because of the sort of the thing we'd all love to do once in a while and never quiet have the courage to. M: I had an old aunt who used to throw cups of tea at people when she was particularly irritated. She said it relieved her feelings. W: It must have come a bit expensive. What would the listener say?
Ans: M: Not really. She took care never to throw her best china.

Read the below conversation. M: Excuse me. I have an appointment with Mr. Li, your manager. Can you tell me where his office is? What would the listener say?
Ans: W: My pleasure. It's on the second floor.
