Question: Read the below conversation.  Interviewer: What were the things in Britain that you found most strange when you first arrived?  Mathew: Well, the first thing is driving on the wrong side of the road..., that would be the- that was very strange because you have this automatic reflex when you go out into the street to look one way and a couple of times I did that and I almost got hit by cars and bikes and all, you know. It's dangerous. It really is dangerous. And you have to teach yourself to look the other way.  Interviewer: Someone said that Britain and the United States are divided by a common language. Have you had any difficulties with the language here?  Mathew: Oh, yeah-tremendous amount of difficulty but I'm starting to pick it up now-all the lingo and slang and all those-but there's definitely a difference.  Interviewer: Can you give me any example?  Mathew: Well, the big-I'd say some of the biggest ones would be the word "queue" which means in America "line". I never heard the word "queue" before. Um-what you call "chips", I call "French fries". I never heard them called "chips". Urn-there's so many-urn-words that are different. Ah-" crisps" which mean " potato chips" Yeah, that's - we call them "potato chips" or "chips" in America. You call them "crisps" here. So when I heard the word "chips", I was thinking of "crisps" and not French fry-you know-it's very confusing but-urn-but just some of the expressions like-er-" mate" you know and "love". Those-you know--they're funny. You don't hear them. You don't hear them in America.  Interviewer: What about with young people-with people your own age-I mean, do you notice differences there?  Mathew: I do notice some differences-er-I think-ah-I think the younger people in Britain are-they seem to be-much more radical than the younger people in the United States. I noticed that. Ah-the dress is different. You see a lot of-I see a lot of males here with earring in one of their-in one of their ears. You don't see that in America that much. Somet-maybe here and there, but not, not like you...  What would the listener say?
Answer: Mathew: Urn-that's a good question-urn-well, I think that the reasons are-just because of the Press. You hear so much about America here that people are-they're into it-they want to know what it's about and how it's run. And so many of our policies in America affect Britain that they want to understand how policies are made and all that and seeing that that doesn't work on the other level like Britain's policies don't-I mean, they can affect us, but not to as great an extent and therefore you don't hear as much about Britain and people don't know as much about it.

Question: Read the below conversation.  W: Excuse me. I just received my telephone bill, and there's a problem with it.  M: May I see your bill, please?  W: Certainly. There it is. On July 1st, I really don't know anybody in Finland.  M: OK, don't worry. I'll take the call off. Let's see...it was $42. Your bill was $ 66.10, minus $42, so your new total is $24.10. I'm very sorry about the mistake.  What would the listener say?
Answer: W: That's OK. It wasn't your fault.

Question: Read the below conversation.  M: Excuse me, could you tell me where the post office is?  W: Go straight on, turn right at the first traffic lights. The post office is about fifty meters away.  M: I see. And is the No. 13 Middle School far away from the post office?  W: Not far. It's about 150 meters. Where do you want to go?  What would the listener say?
Answer:
M: Oh, I only want to pick up my cousin from school. I am told that the school is next to the post office, and that is why I want to know how to get to the post office first.
