1. W: Rob, could you do me a favour?
M: Of course. What do you need, Cindy?
W: Well, I’m going to be out of town for a few days and I was wondering if you could look after a few things for me?
M: Like what?
W: Well, I’ve cancelled my mail, so you won’t have to pick that up. But could you take care of my dog and goldfish and water my plants for me?
M: Of course. That’s what neighbours are for.
Question: What doesn’t Rob have to do while Cindy is out?
2. M: Kelly, have you decided on your wedding date yet?
W: No. We can’t agree on anything!
M: What are the possibilities?
W: Well, I would like to get married in October, because I’ve always wanted a fall wedding. But Josh thinks it would be easier for people to travel and attend in August. My parents want it to be in December, because they think the snow would be pretty. Josh’s pick is the most reasonable one, though, so we’ll probably go with that.
Question: When will Kelly and Josh probably hold their wedding?
3. W: What are you working on, Sean?
M: Hey, Megan. I’m working on my resume. But it’s not going very well.
W: Why do you say that?
M: Well, I’ve got a lot of years of experience and earned really good grades throughout college. However, I don’t have a lot of extracurricular activities.
W: So what?
M: I’ve heard employers like people who have a balanced life with unique hobbies and interests.
Question: Why is Sean worried about his resume?
4. M: More than six million people live in Santiago, the capital of Chile. Many people work non-stop from morning until afternoon, like in most countries. But the tradition of nap is still important in Chile and many people feel that a break or a short nap is a good idea in today’s busy world.
W: I think it’s important to take a nap, especially during work hours, which is a time when people feel a lot of stress.
Question: What does the woman think of a nap?
5. M: Did you hear that James got into Boston University’s School of Graduate Studies for philosophy? He’s starting classes in September.
W: Yes, I did. I also heard he got a full scholarship. They’re even paying for his apartment and giving him money for books and food.
M: That sounds unbelievable!
W: Well, but I guess he would be happier if he’d got into Columbia University.
M: That was his first choice. Actually he was also accepted by Princeton but they didn’t give him a full scholarship, so he gave it up.
W: Well, anyway, he should feel quite contented.
Question: Why didn’t James choose to go to Princeton?
