Are you OK? M: I'm sorry. I didn't call you this morning. I've had a cold since Saturday. I haven't eaten much these days and it has made me feel really weak, but I'll probably be there tomorrow.

[Q]: Read the below conversation. W: Dad, can I go to a movie this week with Shannon? M: Let me look at the calendar here. Hmm. When are you thinking about going to a movie? W: Uh, we're thinking about seeing a movie on Wednesday after school. M: Well, that's not going to work. You haven't practiced your piano at all for an entire week, so you have to catch up on that. W: What about Friday? M: Uh uh. Forget that idea. W: And Saturday? M: Well, you have to take an English class in the morning. And then, we have to clean out the garage. You said you'd help. Well, that should only take a couple of hours. And then, after that, you can go to the movie. W: Yeah. Can I go and see the nine o'clock showing? M: The five o'clock showing! W: How about the seven o'clock showing? M: And why are you so concerned about the show time? W: Well, I don't know if I'll get all of my homework done before then. M: Sorry, but I want you to get to bed early that night, and so, I can drop you off at the movie theatre about 4:30, so you'll have time to get tickets. What would the listener say?

[A]: W: Okay. Thanks, Dad.

Please answer this: Read the below conversation. M: Have you seen Kate recently, Vicky? W: Yes, I have. I saw her a couple of days ago. She hasn't been very well in the last couple of weeks. M: Has she seen a doctor since she's been ill? W: Yes, she has. The doctor told her to take it easy for a while, but she hasn't been taking his advice. She's as busy as usual. M: Do you think it useful for me to ask her to have a rest when I go to see her? Or shall we go together? What would the listener say?
++++++++
Answer: W: I think you can go yourself and show your concern to her since she sometimes would take your advice. So it's unnecessary for me to go with you. What's more, I've got some other things to do at the moment.
Question: Read the below conversation. W: Hey, I'm a little bit upset about that television you people sold me. I got it home and the thing doesn't work! The lines.., the... there're lines all over the picture! I'm just not satisfied. I'd like to have my money back, or give me a new television. M: Well, it's not my fault! What did you do with it when you got it home? W: I just plugged it in and turned it on. M: Well, it was working fine when you took it... when you left here. W: Well, I think the least you people can do is to come over and adjust it for me, and make sure the thing's working all right. M: Well, I wouldn't mind doing that. Or you could bring it here and I'll have a look at it. But you bought a second-hand TV and there's only a... two-day warranty on it. W: Second-hand? Second-hand?! That thing was supposed to be new! Your salesman told me it was brand new. What would the listener say?
Answer:
M: Well, I can't be responsible for that.
