Listen to the
conversations on the audio
and then answer the following questions. Remember to use the listening strategies
described on page 74.
Number 1. Fill it up with unleaded gas, please. Would you like the oil check, too?
Yes, and
wash the windshield. I'll check the tire pressure, too, if you like.
Where are the speakers?
Number 2. I don't know what to order. I could eat everything on the menu. Why don't
you try the
tuna? That sounds good. I love fish. Save room for dessert, though. They have great
pies here.
Where are the speakers?
Number 3. I'm sorry, sir. This section of the plane is for business class
travelers.
I thought this was economy. No, on this flight, the economy section begins at row
23. That's why
the seeds were so comfortable. Where are the speakers?
Number 4. I need to return this book to the library. It's overdue.
Could you check out a book for me? Sure. Give me your library card. Ask if I can
have a three-week
loan rather than two. Where will the woman return the book?
Number 5. Most of our sweaters are imported from Hong Kong. Do you make any in the
Philippines?
Not yet, but we are talking with their officials. Where are the sweaters made?
Number 6. I have a reservation for a double room for two nights. And your name,
sir?
Frank Jones, J-O-N-E-S, with East Asia Import Company. Yes, here it is. A non-
smoking room
on a high floor. Where are the speakers?
Number 7. I lost my checkbook. Do I apply for a new one here?
Is your checking account at this bank? Yes, my savings account is here too.
May I see some ID, please?
Where is this conversation taking place?
Number 8. We'd better hurry or we'll miss our train. Relax. Have another cup of
coffee.
We can walk to the station in 10 minutes. I always like to be on the platform a few
minutes
before the train arrives. There are trains every 10 minutes. Take it easy.
Where are the speakers going?
Number 9. Does your agency have any package tours to Hawaii?
Yes, we have a wonderful seven-day trip for only $945.
I hope that includes airfare. Nope, just hotel.
Where is this conversation taking place?
Number 10. We'd like to rent a car for the weekend.
We only have one car left and that's a compact. That'll be fine.
Unlike full insurance coverage too. Full insurance and a full tank of gas.
Where are the speakers?
Number 11. Watch out for that bus. Get back on the sidewalk.
Thank you. Wow, there's a lot of traffic here.
Let's cross the street at the corner. The cars have to stop for the light there.
I should be more careful.
Where is this conversation taking place?
Number 12. Let's get there early. I don't want to wait in a long line to get
tickets.
Yes, it's a popular movie. There'll be a lot of people there.
And I want to get good seats. Not too close to the screen.
You sit in the back. I like to sit right up front.
Where are the speakers going?
Number 13. When the weather's nice, I like to go to that park across the street.
Yes, I like to go there to take a walk through the garden.
I like sitting on a bench under the trees and reading a good book.
Where do the speakers like to go?
Number 14. So how do you like working as a security guard?
The job is hard, but the museum is a great place to work.
I'd love to be around all those paintings every day. They have great exhibits
there.
The school groups are really noisy and you have to tell them all the time,
don't touch the art. Where does the man work?
Number 15. Where can I find canned vegetables?
Canned vegetables are in aisle five next to the canned soup.
Canned soup. That sounds good. I'll buy some of that to cook for dinner.
Check out the produce section in the first aisle and our cheeses in the dairy
section.
