1.

W: Oh, Dick. You are wearing a black jacket but yellow trousers. It's the strangest combination⁵ I've ever seen.

M: I know. I got up late and dressed in a hurry. I didn't realize my mistake until I entered the office.

Q: What does the woman think of the way Dick dressed?

2.

M: Excuse me. But has anyone turned in a brown leather wallet? I've lost my wallet. It contains my driver's license and also some family pictures that are pretty important to me.

W: Oh, yes. We had a wallet brought in this morning. Wait here just a minute, please.

Q: What would the woman probably do?

W: Sorry, sir. A new epidemic called SARS is threatening us right now. As a preventative measure, we are told to let in fresh air by opening the windows and not to use the air conditioners.

Q: What does the woman mean?

4.

M: You look quite different from what you used to.

W: Sure. I started exercising regularly⁷ two years ago and went from 253 pounds to a healthy 160 pounds and that is the only thing I did not give up halfway⁸.
