11.

A: I don’t know what to do. I have to drive to Chicago next Friday for my cousin’s wedding but I’ve got a psychology test to prepare for.

B: Why don’t you record your notes so that you can study on the way?

Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?

12.

A: Professor Right, you may have to find another student to play this role. The lines are so long and I simply can’t remember them all.

B: Look, Tony. It’s still a long time before the first show. I don’t expect you to know all the lines yet. Just keep practicing.

Q: what do we learn from the conversation?

13.

A: Hello. This is Doctor Martin from the Emergency Department. I have a male patient with a fractured ankle.

B: Oh, we have one bed available in Ward 3. Send him here and I’ll take care of him.

Q: What are the speakers talking about?

14.

A: Since Simon will graduate this May, the school paper needs a new editor. So if you are interested, I will be happy to nominate you.

B: Thanks for considering me, but the baseball team is starting up a new season and I’m afraid I’d have a lot on my hands.

Q: What does the man mean?

15.

A: Have you heard the news that James Mill has resigned his post as Prime Minster?

B: Well, I got it from the headlines this morning. It’s reported that he made pubic his decision at the last cabinet meeting.

Q: What do we learn about James Mill?

16.

A: The morning paper says the space shuttle is taking off at 10 am tomorrow.

B: Yeah, it’s just another one of this year’s routine missions. The first mission was undertaken a decade ago and broadcast live then worldwide.

Q: What can we infer from this conversation?

17.

A: We do a lot of camping in the mountains. What would you recommend for two people?

B: You’d probably be better off with the four-wheel drive vehicle. We have several off-road trucks in stock, both new and used.

Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?

18.

A: I hear you did some stereo shopping this past weekend.

B: yeah, the speakers from my old stereo finally gave out and there was no way to repair them.

Q: What did the man do over the weekend?

Long conversations:

1.

A: Now, could you tell me where the idea for the business first came from?

B: Well, the original shop was opened by a retired printer by the name of Cruby. Mr Cruby, being left-handed himself, thought of the idea of trying to promote a few products for lefthanders.

A: and how did he then go about actually setting up the business?

B: Well, he looked for any left-handed products that might already be on the market, which were very few and then contacted manufactures with the idea of having products produced for him, mainly in the scissor range to start with.

A: Right. So you do commission some part of your stock?

B: Yes, very much so. About 75% of our stock is specially made for us.

A: And the rest of it?

B: The rest of it now, some 25, 30 years after Mr Cruby’s initial efforts, there are more left-handed products actually on the market and manufactures are now beginning to see that there is a market for left-handed products.

A: And what’s the range of your stock?

B: The range consists of a variety of scissors, from children scissors to scissors for tailors, hairdressers, etc. We also have a large range of kitchenware.

A: What’s the competition like? Do you have quite a lot of competition?

B: There are other people in the business now as specialists, but only as Mellorder outlets. But we have a shop here in central London plus our Mellorder outlet. And we are, without any doubt, the largest supplier of left-handed items.

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

19: What kind of business is the man engaged in?

20: what does the man say about his stock of products?

21: What does the man say about other people in his line of business?
