Exercise 1

A: What’re your favorite means of communication?

B: _____________________________ (1)

A: How to you keep in touch with your friends?

_____________________________(2)

A: Do you get in touch with your family by phone?

B: _____________________________(3)

A: Do you usually write letters or emails?

B: _____________________________(4)

A: What are some advantages of using a mobile phone?

B: _____________________________(5)

Do you like handwriting letters?

B: _____________________________(6)

Maybe yes. People are quite happy talking to me.

I prefer talking directly to people.
That’s the easiest means of communication, I think. Mobile phones are portable. Just dial the
numbers and you can immediately get connected with anyone you want.
Yes, I do. I live away from my family, so phone would be an ideal means of communication.
I used to write letters when the Internet hasn’t been used widely. Now I prefer emails due to its
convenience.
Yes, I do. I like to keep handwriting letters as keepsakes.
I’m so busy that I don’t often hang out with friends, so I usually get in touch with them using
social networks or phone.
People prefer talking online rather than directly. Because of the illusion of social networks,
people tend to forget necessary skills to communicate with others in real life.
Exercise 2

A: Do you like visiting natural places?

B: _____________________________(1)

A: What’s the most impressive natural scenery you’ve ever seen?

B: _____________________________(2)

A: When did you see it?

B: _____________________________(3)

A: Who went with you?

B: _____________________________(4)

A: What’s special about it?

B: _____________________________(5)

A: How has it changed recently?

B: _____________________________(6)

People will get closer to Mother Nature. Children have more motivation to
discover the world around them.
Yes, I do. Being close to nature helps me release stress and worry.
I’m fond of the great nature there. It’s a horseshoe-shaped meander of Colorado
river.
It doesn’t change much actually
I visited the place last Summer holiday.
I went there with my family. We camped near the place.
That’s the horseshoe of the Colorado River in Arizona. It’s such a great scenic
place on Earth.
My next destination would be the Maroon Bells in Colorado. I fell in love with
mountain ranges and yellow flowers there

Exercise 21
Excuse me, Professor. I think there might be an error in my test score.
_____________________________(1)
I think that the percentage is incorrect.
_____________________________(2)
Sure, let's do it.
_____________________________(3)
I don't see any mistakes.
_____________________________(4)
Yes, let's total it.
_____________________________(5)
Yes, you're right.
_____________________________(6)

Sure. Do you think that the total is wrong or that you got something marked wrong
that should have been marked right?
These two are the only ones.
Let's just go over all of it to double-check.
OK, now that we've gotten those straightened out, let's total the score.
Here is the answer sheet. Do you see a place where I marked something wrong that
should have been right?
Well, if I total that like this and divide by this number, I get this total. Do you agree?
Well then, we are all straight. Have a good day and thanks for bringing that to my
attention.
These things can happen; let's double-check the answers first to be sure, all right?

Exercise 22

I was looking at my test score and think that it should be higher.

_____________________________(1)
I think an answer got marked wrong that should have been marked right.
_____________________________(2)
That would be great!
_____________________________(3)
This one right here should be right.
_____________________________(4)
Yeah, let's do the math.
_____________________________(5)
Looks pretty good.
_____________________________(6)

These things can happen; let's double-check the answers first to be sure, all right?
I count all of the correct answers, total them, and divide by the total. Does this look
right to you?
Look at the answer sheet and compare it to your answers. Do you see any place where I
made a mistake in grading?
OK, now that we've gotten those straightened out, let's total the score.
Is the math wrong or the way the answer was marked?
Let's just go over all of it to double-check
g. Yeah, I see the same thing; now we can do the math and check that, right?
Thank you for caring enough to check on your scores; keep studying!

Exercise 23

Could we go over some things, because I think my test score is wrong.

_____________________________(1)
Both.
_____________________________(2)
Yeah, I'm ready.
_____________________________(3)
These look strange.
_____________________________(4)
OK, let's do the calculation.
_____________________________(5)
I see.
_____________________________(6)

I am willing to take a second look because teachers make mistakes, too. Will that work
for you?
Yeah, I see the same thing; now we can do the math and check that, right?
What do you think is wrong, the math or the way your answer was scored?
Yes, I agree; let's move on to the calculating of the score. Would that be OK?
 e. Anytime you have a question, please feel free to ask!
f. Check your answers against the ones on the answer sheet and let me know where
you see the mistake.
g. We add all of these up and divide by this and that gives us this percentage.
Look at the answer sheet and compare it to your answers. Do you see any place where
I made a mistake in grading?
i.

Exercises 24

_____________________________(1)
Yes, I have my list.
_____________________________(2)
Yes, I know where the bookstore is.
_____________________________(3)
No, I didn't know I could do that.
_____________________________(4)
Yes, I am going today.
_____________________________(5)
Yes, thank you. That would be great.
_____________________________(6)

I count all of the correct answers, total them, and divide by the total. Does this look
right to you?
Do you have your book list for your class?
Fine. Once you have it, you can go to the bookstore. Do you know where that is?
OK, so once you pass the gym, it's the first door on your left. Do you know you can
also sell your used textbooks there?
Well, then, I'll talk to you later. Have a good day!
Thank you for caring enough to check on your scores; keep studying!
g. You just take them with you and trade them with the used textbook man just
outside the door. Do you think you will be doing that today?
Well, if you decide to go, I could meet you over there at 1:00 today or tomorrow to
help you. Would that work for you?
Exercise 25

Where can I buy textbooks?

_____________________________(1)
Yes, I have that.
_____________________________(2)
No, I don't know where the bookstore is.
_____________________________(3)
Really? How can I do that?
_____________________________(4)
No, I can't make it today.
_____________________________(5)
No, thanks. I'm good.
_____________________________(6)

First, you need to have the list of books for your class. Do you have that?
Well, when you have that, you can take it over to the bookstore. Can you find it?
c. We add all of these up and divide by this and that gives us this percentage.
Just pass the gym and it's the first door on your left. Were you aware that you can also
turn in your old textbooks for money?
e. Anytime you have a question, please feel free to ask!
f. I'll see you later then. Have a great day!
g. Take your used textbooks with you and give them to the representative near
the entrance. He will pay you for them. Are you going today?
I could help you with buying your books if you meet me there at 1:00 today or
tomorrow. Would you like my help?

Exercise 26

Can you help me buy my textbooks?

_____________________________(1)
No, I don't have that.
_____________________________(2)
I am not sure where the bookstore is.
_____________________________(3)
Yes, I knew I could do that. Exactly how do I go about selling them?
_____________________________(4)
I think maybe I could be there.
_____________________________(5)
Maybe that would work.
_____________________________(6)

Well, then, I'll talk to you later. Have a good day!

There will probably be a book list in the bookstore. Do you have your class schedule
handy?
I'll catch you later then. Have a wonderful morning.
To get started, take that list over to the bookstore. Do you know where the bookstore is?
I'll see you later then. Have a great day!
When you pass the gym, it'll be the first door on the left. Do you know how to sell your
old textbooks for money?
g. If you give your used textbooks to the person at the booth outside the door, he
will reimburse you. Can you go over there today?
I am free at 1:00 today or tomorrow if you need some help. Want to meet me over
there?

Exercise 27

Can you help me with returning my late books?

_____________________________(1)
OK, here they are.
_____________________________(2)
OK, here's the money.
_____________________________(3)
I'm not sure.
_____________________________(4)
Now I understand.
_____________________________(5)

When you pass the gym, it'll be the first door on the left. Do you know how to sell your
old textbooks for money?
I can see that you owe 25 cents a day. That will be one dollar and fifty cents total.
Well, you can always keep your late fees down by using the night drop if we are
closed. Enjoy the library!
This is the right spot to pay your fee. Put your books down right here.
Your registration and transcripts can be held up if there is an outstanding fine.
We are interested in getting our books back; so as long as all the fines are paid off by
the end of the semester, you will be fine. Does that make sense?
I'll see you later then. Have a great day!

Exercise 28

These books should have been turned in last week.

B_____________________________(1)
Here they are.
_____________________________(2)
I don't have the money right now.
_____________________________(3)
What would happen if I didn't pay it?
_____________________________(4)
Yeah, but I don't know how they can do that.
_____________________________(5)

It's really important to always clear your fines, so you'll get a repor t card and
transcripts on time.
We only require that all fines must be paid off by the end of the semes ter. So you
will be okay to go.
You have come to the correct place. Hand me your books.
Whoa, these are pretty late! You owe five dollars total to clear your fine.
I can see that you owe 25 cents a day. That will be one dollar and fifty cents total.
 Always remember that the night drop is here, and we really appreciate you
returning your books for all to use.
This is the right spot to pay your fee. Put your books down right here.

Exercise 29

My library books are late, where can I put them?

_____________________________(1)
Ȁ㨀ĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀĀ
̀ Ȁ㨀ĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀYeah, I think that they are really
late!
Ȁ㨀ĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀĀ
̀ Ȁ㨀ĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀᜀĀ_____________________________(
2)
What if I can't pay it?
_____________________________(3)
Yeah, I get it.
_____________________________(4)
That's not really fair!
_____________________________(5)

We appreciate you paying off all fines as soon as possible, but always before the end of
the semester.
This is where they need to be turned in. Let me see them to check the date, OK?
This is the right spot to pay your fee. Put your books down right here.
Not all that late. You only owe the library fifty cents.
Always remember that the night drop is here, and we really appreciate you returning
your books for all to use.
If we aren't here, always feel free to use the night drop outside. Thanks for coming in!
Your report card and transcripts will be held until you pay all fines, so always make
sure that you do that.

Exercise 30

Can you help me figure out how to use this machine?

_____________________________(1)
I want to buy that candy.
_____________________________(2)
Yeah, so far, so good.
_____________________________(3)
Yeah, I already knew that.
_____________________________(4)
OK, let's move on!
_____________________________(5)
I hope it works!
_____________________________(6)

Well, good luck!

Yes, I would be happy to help. What do you want to buy?
It's really important to always clear your fines, so you'll get a repor t card and transcripts on
time.
Now you just make your selection and pray. If nothing comes out, try again or call the
number on the side of the machine
I'm sure you know that if the dollar gets stuck, you might have to re-feed it.
OK. So this machine will make change if you need it. Do you have your dollars ready?
Next, you feed your dollars into the machine in the slot. Make sure they are smooth.
Always remember that the night drop is here, and we really appreciate you returning
your books for all to use.

Exercise 31

I've never seen a machine like this before and need some help.
_____________________________(1)
I want to buy a drink.
_____________________________(2)
I've got the correct change already.
_____________________________(3)
OK, what next?
_____________________________(4)
OK, next?
_____________________________(5)
I agree with you.
_____________________________(6)

It's really important to always clear your fines, so you'll get a repor t card and transcripts on
time.
 Just know that sometimes the money doesn't go in perfectly the first time and you
have to try again
OK. This machine needs you to use that change machine first to get correct change.
First you put your money in the dollar slot or the coin slot. The dollars have to be
smooth.
Sure, no problem. What are you trying to get?
Choose what you want and push the button. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
Always remember that the night drop is here, and we really appreciate you returning
your books for all to use.
Hope that works for you!

Exercise 32

I want to know how to buy something from this machine.

_____________________________(1)
I want to buy one of those snack things.
_____________________________(2)
I'm clear so far.
_____________________________(3)
It won't go in!
_____________________________(4)
Yes, next step.
_____________________________(5)
They're totally unreliable.
_____________________________(6)

Now you just make your selection and pray. If nothing comes out, try again or call the
number on the side of the machine
Are you ready to go?
Yeah, the new ones can be tricky. What are you trying to buy?
Just remember that you might have to feed the money in a couple of times to get it to
work.
The money goes in the slot over there. It has to be smooth to go in.

you know where that is?
Good, just make sure that you do the same thing if you ever need to drop a class.

That sounds fair to me.
_____________________________(5)

Well, the price in the paper was five thousand dollars.

sheet later to make sure that you were added on.
Do the same thing with a drop slip if you ever need to drop a class. Good luck!

Wonderful! It's good to find a person who really needs this car.
You know I just got a good deal on my new car. I think I can afford to knock a little off
of this car.
The price I listed on eBay was five thousand dollars.
You seem like a nice person. Maybe I could lower the price a bit.
I am thinking more in the line of four thousand five hundred
It's done then. I've enjoyed doing business with you.

Exercise 42

Professor, excuse me, but I need to leave early.

_____________________________(1)
I am not feeling well.
_____________________________(2)
I think I am beginning to have an asthma attack.
_____________________________(3)
No, I think that I should just go home because I have some medicine there.
_____________________________(4)
I live in the dorms across the street, so I'll be OK.
_____________________________(4)

Would you like someone to walk you over to the Student Health Center?
What seems to be the problem?

Sure, that'll be fine.
_____________________________(6)

Can you wait till Wednesday? I'll make you two more keys.
Believe me, I think I've heard everything

Well, I'm desperate. I'll take it anyway.
_____________________________(11)
I think it will be tomorrow if that's okay.

Are you a party animal?

Hi. I'm Jack. You called about the room for rent. Are you still interested?

_____________________________(1)

Yes, more than you know.

_____________________________(2)
Ask away.
_____________________________(3)
Yes, we must get along if we are going to be roommates.
_____________________________(4)
I'm a student. I don't have time to party.
_____________________________(5)
I clean up my own mess, and I expect others to do so, too.
_____________________________(6)
Occasionally, I stay up late if there's a big test the next day.

Hi, my name is Jack. You called about a room for rent. Are you still interested?
Very good. Now, do you clean up after yourself?
Just ring the doorbell. I'll be here all day.
I don't mean to pry, but could I ask you a couple of questions?
I don't want us to be roommates who don't get along.
What about smoking?
I hate to tell you, but it's street parking.
Is partying one of your priorities?
Very good. Just call me when you're ready to move your stuff over here.
What time do you usually hit the sack?
I'm sorry. Yes, you have to park your car in the street.
Very good. Now, would you like to ask me anything?
And last, are you a smoker?

Exercise 56

Hi, Tom. This is Hannah from apartment 4C.

_____________________________(1)
There is something wrong with my garbage disposal.
_____________________________(2)
When I turn on the disposal switch, all I get is silence.
_____________________________(3)
Well, about a week ago is when it started sounding strange.
_____________________________(4)
No. I only use it about once a week. I hardly ever put anything into it.
_____________________________(5)
Well, no one ever told me that.
_____________________________(6)
I don't have a key.
_____________________________(7)
Okay, come on over now, and show me how to use it.
_____________________________(8)
Well, if it doesn't work, it's no big deal.
_____________________________(9)

When did this happen?

Oh, hi, Hannah.
Exactly what's going on?
If the key doesn't work, I'll have to call the repairman.
Did you accidentally drop something in the disposal?
Well, I've got a spare key, so I'll come over to show you how to use it.
Actually, I've heard that too little use is bad for a disposal.
And last, are you a smoker?
Very good. Now, would you like to ask me anything?
Did you try to turn it with the disposal key?
Yes, but if something's broken, I like to get it fixed ASAP.

Exercise 57

Tom, are you there? It's Hannah from 4C.

_____________________________(1)
My garbage disposal refuses to work.
_____________________________(2)
When I turn on the switch, nothing happens.
_____________________________(3)
A week ago it started sounding different.
_____________________________(4)
I use it rarely. When I do use it, I put pasta or other soft food into it.
_____________________________(5)
Sort of like an air conditioner in your home or car?
_____________________________(6)
What key?
_____________________________(7)

Okay, come on over now, and show me how to use it.

_____________________________(8)
 Well, like I said, I rarely use it so it won't be a problem.
_____________________________(9)

Well, it's my nature to fix things as soon as I can.

When did you first notice this?
Hey, Hannah. Long time no hear from.
Maybe you haven't been using the disposal enough.
If the key doesn't correct the problem, I'll have to call someone.
Did you try to turn it with the disposal key?
What happens when you turn on the switch?
Did you put something in it that you shouldn't have?
Yes, but if something's broken, I like to get it fixed ASAP.
Exactly. However, sometimes you can get it going again by using the key.
A disposal key. I've got a spare one, so I'll come over to show you.

Exercise 58

Is anybody home? It's me--Hannah.

_____________________________(1)
My garbage disposal isn't working.
_____________________________(2)
Nothing happens when I turn on the switch.
_____________________________(3)
about a week ago I noticed a new sound.
_____________________________(4)
I don't use it very often. When I do use it, I put only soft food into it.
_____________________________(5)
That's interesting. I never heard that before.
_____________________________(6)
I don't have a key, and I wouldn't know how to use it.
_____________________________(7)
I'm always willing to learn something new. Come on over.
_____________________________(8)
If it works or doesn't work, it doesn't matter much to me.
_____________________________(9)
 Yes, but I prefer to fix things now instead of later.
Can you be a little more specific?
Hey, Hannah. How's everything going?
You didn't drop a fork or anything into it, did you?
Do you remember how it started?
I've got an extra key. I'll show you how to use it.
I've heard that disposals need to be run frequently.
Did you put something in it that you shouldn't have?
Have you tried to turn it manually using the key?
The key might not work. Then I'll have to call the plumber.
What happens when you turn on the switch?
