Section A: Conversations
1. Short Conversations
11. M: Christmas is around the corner. And I’m looking for a gift for my girlfriend. Any suggestions?
W: Well you have to tell me something about your girlfriend first. Also, what’s your budget?
Q: What does the woman want the man to do?
12. M: What would you like for dessert? I think I’ll have apple pie and ice cream.
W: The chocolate cake looks great, but I have to watch my weight. You go ahead and get yours.
Q: What would the woman most probably do?
13. W: Having visited so many countries, you must be able to speak several different languages.
M: I wish I could. But Japanese and of course English are the only languages I can speak.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
14. M: Professor Smith asked me to go to his office after class. So it’s impossible for me to make it to the bar at ten.
W: Then it seems that we’ll have to meet an hour later at the library.
Q: What will the man do first after class?
15. M: It’s already 11 now. Do you mean I ought to wait until Mr. Bloom comes back from the class?
W: Not really. You can just leave a note. I’ll give it to her later.
Q: What does the woman mean?
16. M: How is John now? Is he feeling any better?
W: Not yet. It still seems impossible to make him smile. Talking to him is really difficult and he gets upset easily over little things.
Q: What do we learn about John from the conversation?
17. M: Do we have to get the opera tickets in advance?
W: Certainly. Tickets at the door are usually sold at a higher price.
Q: What does the woman imply?
18. M: The taxi driver must have been speeding.
W: Well, not really. He crashed into the tree because he was trying not to hit a box that had fallen off the truck ahead of him.
Q: What do we learn about the taxi driver?
