Short Conversation
11. W: Just imagine! We have to finish reading 300 pages before
Monday! How can the professor expect us to do it in such a short time?
M: Yeah, but what troubles me is that I can’t find the book in
the library or in the university bookstore.
Q: What does the man mean?
12. M: Do you think I could borrow your car to go grocery shopping?
The supermarkets outside the city are so much cheaper. I’d also be
happy to pick up anything you need.
W: Well, I don’t like to let anyone else drive my car. Tell you
what, why don’t we go together?
Q: What does the woman mean?
13. M: Forgive the mein here, we have a party last night. There
were a lot of people and they all brought food.
W: Yeah, I can tell. Well, I gueit’s pretty obvious what
you’ll be doing most of today.
Q: What does the woman think the man will do?
14. W: What time would suit you for the first round talks with
John Smith?
M: Well, you know my schedule. Other than this Friday, one day is
as good as the next.
Q: What does the man mean?
15. W: I was so angry yesterday! My biology teacher did not
even let me explain why I missed the field trip. He just wouldn’t
let me pass!
M: That doesn’t seem fair. I’d feel that way too if I were you.
Q: What does the man imply?
16. M: I really can’t stand the way David controls the
conversation all the time. If he is going to be at your Christmas
party, I just won’t come.
W: I’m sorry you feel that way, but my mother insists that he come.
Q: What does the woman imply?
17. W: You’re taking a course with Professor Johnson. What’s
your impression so far?
M: Well, many students could hardly stay awake in his clawithout
first drinking a cup of coffee.
Q: What does the man imply?
18. W: Have you ever put a computer together before?
M: No, never. But I think if we follow these instructions
exactly, we won’t have much trouble.
Q: What are the speakers going to do?
