Short conversations

1.
W: Can you come to the concert with me this weekend or do you have to prepare for exams?
M: I still have a lot to do. But maybe a break will do me good.
Q: What will the man probably do?

2.
W: What does the paper say about the horrible incident that happened this morning on Flight 870 to Hong Kong?
M: It ended with the arrest of the three hijackers. They have forced the plane to fly to Japan. But all the passengers and the crewmembers landed safely.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

3.
M: Helen, this is the most fascinating article I’ve ever come across. I think you should spare some time to read it.
W: Oh, really? I thought that anything about the election would be tedious.
Q: What are the speakers talking about? 

4.
W: I’m not going to trust the restaurant critic from that magazine again. The food here doesn’t taste anything like what we had in Chinatown.
M: It definitely wasn’t worth the wait.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

5.
W: Do you know what’s wrong with Mark? He’s been acting very strangely lately.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation about Mark? 

6.
W: There were only 20 students at last night’s meeting, so nothing could be voted on.
M: That’s too bad. They'll have to turn up in greater numbers if they want a voice on campus issues.
Q: What does the man mean?

7.
M: I try to watch TV as little as possible. But it’s so hard.
W: I didn’t watch TV at all before I retired. But now I can hardly tear myself away from it.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

8.
W: I’m having a problem registering for the classes I want.
M: That’s too bad. But I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to work everything out before the semester starts.
Q: What does the man mean?
