Problem: Read the below conversation. W: Excuse me,do you have a lighter? I want a cigarette now. What would the listener say?

A: M: I never smoke. Actually no one should smoke. It really harms our health.

Problem: Read the below conversation. W: Hi, John. M: Oh! Hi, Laura. What are you doing here? W: Uh, I'm usually here on weekends. It's my uncle's shop. So you are looking for a bike? M: Yeah. Now that the weather is warming up, I thought I should get some exercise instead of taking the bus all the time. W: Well, that's a good idea and you come to the right place. Do you know what you like? M: Well, I don't want a racer or a touring bike or anything like that. Mostly I'll just be using it to get me back and forth from work. W: How far is that? M: About four miles. W: Are there a lot of hills on the way? M: Some, I guess. But maybe I should tell you at first that I only got 150 dollars. Can I get anything decent for that? W: Well, you are not going to get anything on the top of the line. But we do have a few trade-ins in the back that are in good condition. M: That sounds good. What would the listener say?

A: W: And you are right. For the kind of ride you are going to be doing, the most important thing is comfort. You want to make sure it's the right height for you? Follow me and I'll show you what we've got.

Problem: Read the below conversation. M: When I got home last night I found a letter from the school I used to study in. The students there want me to go back and talk to them. W: Oh, really? And are you going? M: I don't know. I used to hate school, so I don't feel like going back. W: But it's different now. M: Yes, I know. But it's still a difficult situation. You see, when I was at school I used to be bad at studies and none of the teachers liked me. W: Well; I think you should go. When I was younger, I used to dream about meeting a famous pop star. You can't let them down. What would the listener say?

A: M: Maybe you are right. OK, I'll go.

Problem: Read the below conversation. W: Are you having a problem? M: Yes. I have to do a research paper for history. There's a major book that I need, but I can't find it. W: Did you try the card list? M: Yes, but it's not there. W: Well, if it's a recent book, it won't be in the card list. All information about books since 1995 is in the computer. I advise you to try that. M: No wonder! This book is published in 1998. W: All you have to do is to type in the title or the writer's name. M: Do you mean it will tell me whether the book is out or not? What would the listener say?

A:
W: Yes, it will. It will also give you the due date if it is out. If the book is in the library, it will tell you where you can find the book.
