1. Script¹
W: Are those cigarettes yours? I thought you quit. If you go back to it, your teeth and fingers will be nicotine-stained; your breath and clothes will smell smoky.
M: I didn’t. I swear. Ads showing diseased lungs kept me from starting again. Believe me, I’ll never again be a slave to smoking.
Q: Why didn’t the man go back to smoking?
Script
M: What’s that noise? It’s really loud! Sounds like gunshots!
W: It’s the local “youth” throwing firecrackers. Don’t go out. They’re likely to throw one at you or put one through the letterbox if you bother them.
Q: What may the young people do?
3. Script
M: I wish I had left my wallet at home. But I’m sure I put it in my back pocket.
W: Oh, no, it’s easy for a pickpocket² to take it from there. You should out your money in your breast pocket.
Q: What should the man do, according to the conversation?
4. Script
M: I hate that subway station. Whenever you come our, you’re always plagued by beggars³.
W: I know, but the kids really get to me. I can’t help but feel sorry for them. They look so miserable⁴.
Q: What do the man and woman think about the young beggars?
5. Script
M: The bank call me today: they wanted to know if I spent 3,000 dollars in a furniture shop this morning! Of course I didn’t!
W: Someone must’ve made a copy of your credit⁵ card. It’s easily done. You’ll have to cancel it at once and get a new one. Hopefully, the bank will cover the damage.
Q: What does the woman recommend the man to do?
