11. M: All of the courses are quite new to me and I don’t know

which one to choose for this semester.

Q: What does the woman suggest?

12. M: Do you have more tickets for tomorrow’s film?

M: No, it should be much drier. I can’t remember us having such cool and rainy days.

Q: What can you infer about the July weather normally? 16. W: Did you see the doctor about your coughing?

M: Yes. The doctor said if I keep smoking and drinking, it will increase the possibility of having a heart attack or lung cancer.

Q: What do we learn about the man?

17. W: I think we should go over this letter together one more time.

Conversation one

W: Hi Mark! How’s it going?

M: Well…not so great.

W: What’s wrong？

M: I’ve got a big problem with the poetry course that’s required for my major.

W: is it all filled up?

M: no, no. there’s plenty of room, but there’s a prerequisite (前

提条件) . I’ve got to take Introduction to Poetry before I can take the special course in Poets of the 1960s. and the introduction course is only offered in the evenings.

W: You don’t like evening classes?

M: No, that’s not the point. I work in the cafeteria every evening.

I need the money to pay my tuition.

W: can’t you ask someone at work to switch hours with you? Maybe you could just switch a couple of evenings, since the course probably only meets two times a week.

M: I wish I could. My boss just did me a favour by putting me on evenings. And he’ll hit the ceiling if I ask to change again.

W: wait a minute. I have an idea. Have you checked the courses over at the community college? They might offer an Introduction to Poetry during the day.

M: hey, that’s a great idea. I am free this afternoon. I think I’ll go over and check it out.

W: yeah, their courses area actually cheaper, and you can transfer the credits over here.

M: thanks for the advice, Linda. I’ll let you know what happens. W: sure, Mark. Good luck. Oh, while you’re there, could you find out when their pool is open?

M: no problem.
