Dialogue:  M: The manager just emailed to say that the meeting would be put off till the next Sunday. Will you have everything ready by then? Anna, what's wrong? Are you hearing me?  W: Sorry, I was thinking about my brother. I haven't heard from him for two weeks.  M: How often do you call each other?  W: Usually at least once a week, but he's now a volunteer teacher at a mountain village. I can only write to him.  M: The mail can be really slow sometimes. I'm sure you'll hear from him soon.  W: I hope so.  Question: How can Anna reach her brother now?   - By phone.  - By email.  - By letter.

Question: What does the woman think the man will do?   - Get more food and drinks.  - Ask his friend to come over.  - Tidy up the place.
Tidy up the place.

Dialogue:  W: I've never seen you have such confidence before an exam.  M: It's more than confidence. Right now I feel that if I get less than an A, it'll be the fault of the exam itself.  Question: What does the man mean?   - He enjoys finding fault with exams.  - He is sure of his success in the exam.  - He doesn't know if he can do well in the exam.
He is sure of his success in the exam.

Dialogue:  M: Are you looking forward to your trip to Canada, Susan?  W: I can't wait to see Canada, Jason, but I'm scared stiff of the journey. My husband insists on flying, but I want to sail. Planes make me nervous.  M: There's nothing to be frightened of. How many planes fly across the Atlantic every day?  W: I've no idea. Hundreds, I suppose.  M: And how often do you hear of a crash? Once or twice a year?  W: Yes, but aero-planes fly so high and fast that once is enough.  M: There are more road accidents per day than air deaths per year. Air transport is really safe compared with road transport.  W: I still prefer to go by sea. Ships may not travel fast but as least you can relax. I'd love a trip on a luxury liner like the Queen Elizabeth II.  M: It's fine if you're a good sailor, but have you ever traveled far in a rough sea?  W: No. I've only been in a boat once. I sailed down the River Thames on a sightseeing tour, but in any case I'd rather be sea - sick than dead.  Question: What's the probable relationship between the two speakers?   - Husband and wife.  - Teacher and student.  - Friends.

Friends.
