Q: W: Sorry, I was thinking about my brother. I haven't heard from him for two weeks. M: How often do you call each other? W: Usually at least once a week, but he's now a volunteer teacher at a mountain village. I can only write to him. M: The mail can be really slow sometimes. I'm sure you'll hear from him soon. W: I hope so. What was said before this conversation?
A: M: The manager just emailed to say that the meeting would be put off till the next Sunday. Will you have everything ready by then? Anna, what's wrong? Are you hearing me?

Q: M: Let's have a look. Well, yeah, there are a few here that might interest us. Here's one for just under 400. It only has one bedroom but it sounds nice. Near a park. It'd be nice to live near a park. W: Mm. But, you know, 390 seems expensive for just one bedroom. M: Yes, you're right. Oh, here's one that's a little cheaper, near University Avenue. It's 350. W: How many bedrooms? M: Just one again. That's not a very nice area. W: No, it's pretty noisy. I'd prefer a larger place really. M: Yeah. Let me see what the cheapest twobedroom apartment is. Oh, here's a real bargain. It's only 350. But it doesn't have any furniture. W: No. You know how much it can cost to furnish an apartment. M: Oh, here's another one for just over 400. This sounds very interesting. It's on Metealfe. That's a nice street. W: Yes, it's quiet. What was said before this conversation?
A: W: Anything interesting in the paper today?

Q: W: Very simple. Take digital photos of youth culture and send them to my company. It's called Look-Look. M: What kind of company is it? W: It's a youth culture marketing and trend forecasting firm in Hollywood. I'm one of Look-Look's 65,000 trendspotters worldwide. M: Look-Look gets a lot of information about the ever-shifting tastes of the youth market by these images. W: Yes, its clients are mostly companies. They get information about trends from Look-Look and develop their products. They also use the images of Look-Look on their websites to impress young people and promote their newly designed products. M: But are there any people who don't like their pictures to be used on the website? W: I always have my subjects' permission before I take their pictures and put up their images onto Look-Look.com. M: Where do you find your best subjects? W: At school, in the park, at local supermarkets and near many music clubs. M: What is difficult about this job? W: To catch our original styles because so many young people try hard to stand out. You have to be able to find the difference between someone who is copying trends and someone who is truly inventing a new look. M: Thank you for talk with us, Emily.

A: M: Emily, what do you do as a trendspotter?

Q: M: Yes, I'm very sorry. W: Why did you get here so late? M: I watched TV till very late last night. W: What was on? M: It was an exc iting football match. France against Germany. When the France were about to win... So, I got up late and didn't have breakfast and left home in a hurry. W: Did you catch the train? M: No, I called for a taxi. There were a lot of cars and buses on the highway. Unfortunately an accident happened. Then, there was a traffic jam. I was very anxious... W: What happened after that? M: The police came and solved the problem. I waited for a long time. When I got to the office, it was already 10 o'clock. W: I hope that you won't be late again. Otherwise I will fire you. M: Sure, I'll never be late again. What was said before this conversation?
