1. W: The deadline for the sociology and computer courses is the day after tomorrow.
　　M: But I haven’t decided which courses to take yet.
　　Q: What are the man and woman talking about?

　　2. M: I’m looking for an apartment with a monthly rent to around 200 dollars in this neighborhood. Can you give me some advice on that?
　　W: Well, it’s rather hard to find anything for less than 300 dollars around here. Rents are lower in the suburbs, but you’ll need transportation if you choose to live there.
　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　3. W: Well, tonight we have Professor Brown in the studio to talk about his recent book Fashion Images. Good evening, professor.
　　M: Good evening, and thank you for inviting me here this evening.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　7. W: It’s awfully dark for 4 O’clock. Do you think it’s going to rain?

　　Q: What conclusion can we draw from this conversation?

　　8. M: You’re looking a little overwhelmed.
　　W: Exactly. You know I got a million things to do and all of them have to be finished within 3 hours.
　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　9. M: Ah-Ah. Looks like I’m going to be a little late for class. I hope Professor Clark doesn’t start on time today.
　　W: Are you kidding? You count such a watch by the time he starts his class.
　　Q: What can be inferred about Professor Clark?

　　10. M: I’m both excited and nervous about the job interview this afternoon.
