Short conversation
11.
M: Excuse me, do you have change for a ten-dollar note? I need to pay the parking meter.
W: I’m sorry, but I think you can get it through the money changer in the shopping center across the street.
Q: What is the man trying to do?
12.
M: Can you recommend something that a school boy of 7 or 8 will really like?
W: I’d suggest this toy train, sir. It’s an excellent brand, very popular all over the world these days.
Q: What is the man doing?
13.
W: Do you let people know when you’re taking pictures of them?
M: I try not to. You know any picture of a person who poses for the camera would look dull and unnatural.
Q: What are the speakers talking about?
14.
W: I need to talk to someone who knows Baltimore well. I’m told you lived there.
M: Oh, but I was really young at the time.
Q: What does the man mean?
15.
W: Aren’t you disappointed that you didn’t get the promotion?
M: Maybe a little, but I know I need more experience before I’m ready for that kind of responsibility.
Q: What do we learn about the man from this conversation?
16.
W: I’ve been working out the gym since January. I was a bit out of shape.
M: You look terrific. It seems that your effort has paid off.
Q: What does the man imply about the woman?
17.
W: Professor Clark suggested I get a tutor for advanced physics.
M: Well, that might help. Advanced physics is a pretty difficult course.
Q: What does the man mean?
18.
W: Bill, have you heard the latest news? It appears we two won’t be laid off after all.
M: Oh, I’m somewhat tired of working here. I’ve been wondering whether I should resign. Anyway, the news seems to be good for you.
Q: How does the man feel about the news?
Long Conversation 1
W: Hello,k Parkson College. May I help you?
M: Yes, I’m looking for information on courses in computer programming. I would need it for the forth semester.
W: Do you want a day or evening course?
M: Well, it would have to be an evening course, since I work during the day.
W: Aha, have you taken any courses in data processing?
M: No.
W: Oh, well, data processing is a course you have to take before you can take computer programming.
M: Oh, I see. Well, when is it given? I hope it’s not on Thursdays.
W: Well, there’s a class that meets on Monday evenings at seven.
M: Just once a week?
W: Yes, but that’s almost 3 hours from 7 to 9:45.
M: Oh, well, that’s alright. I could manage that. How many weeks does the course last?
W: En…Let me see. 12 weeks. You start the first week in September, and finish…oh, just before Chirstmas, December 21.
M: And how much is the course?
W: That’s 300 dollars including the necessary computer time.
M: Aha, ok, en…where do I go to register?
W: Registration is on the second and third of September, between 6 and 9 in Frost Hall.
M: Is that the round builing behind the parking lot?
W: Yes. That’s the one.
M: Oh, I know how to get here. Is there anything that I should bring with me?
W: No, just your check book.
M: Well, thank you so much.
W: You’re very welcome. Bye.
