question:
F: Oh, it's so nice to be out of the cinema. It was so hot in there. I thought I melt. ,M: Terrible, wasn't it? Well, what did you think of Madame Curie? Do you think it is as good as the review said? ,F: It's a good film, but not as good as the book. I think some of the story was missing in the film. ,M: Yes, but you couldn't possibly fit everything that happens in a 200 page novel into a 2 hour film. There simply isn't the time. ,F: I know, but the director should at least try to follow the story. With this film, he left out some important people and even changed the end. ,M: Well, perhaps he thought he was improving the story, Karen.
(A) F: He did. His film is far more realistic than the book. I like it. (B) F: I am really sorry, I did not catch that. Would you slow down, please? (C) F: Obviouesly, the book is better than the film, though he changed nothing. (D) F: He might. But I still like the original book than the film.

D


question:
M: Jane, your new play is going on next week, are you anxious? ,F: Well, I'm very pleased to have Malcolm Rush as a director. He doesn't care whether you're tired or not, he'll just continue pushing until every scene is simply perfect. You don't just learn the part. You live it, which takes away any fears you might have of not being able to persuade an audience, you're real. That's very important. ,M: Malcolm does have a reputation of being quite the ruler, no one dares speak their opinions are here.
(A) F: Well, I think it is important for actors like Malcolm to be open to changes. (B) F: Yes. He is serious about his work. I think it is very important to act like the real person. (C) F: Yes. He is a serious writer, but I think it is very important to act like the real person. (D) F: I am afraid I did not quite catch what you were saying. Please repeat it.
