Conversation 1
W: Hi, Peter.
M: Hi, Laura.
W: How was your final?
M: Absolutely no idea. Anyway, it’s just wonderful to have finished the exam, isn’t it?
W: Yeah, to sleep in every morning. What about you?
M: Well I’ve got a lot to do before I leave for (离开这里前往) Chicago. I’ve got a lot of things I can’t possibly take back with me and I don’t know what to do with them. I am wondering if I can sell them to someone before going back to Chicago. Perhaps you could give me some advice?
W: Well, it depends on what sort of things they are.
M: Well, there are quit a lot. I have a computer which is second hand and not worth much. What I really want to get rid of is the furniture, the fridge and other kitchen stuff that I bought from the previous tenant (房客). Oh, there are some clothes and books as well.
W: I see. Well there are several alternatives. First of all, you could put up notices （启事）a
round the university about the books – you know on the notice boards in the student union building, and anywhere the second and the third year students will see them. People are always keen to buy cheap textbooks.
M: Then what should I say on the notices?
W: Just put the title, authors and prices you want. Don’t forget to put your phone number on those little tear-off tags （便撕标签）.
M: That’s a good idea. What about the furniture?
W: You could try the same thing, but usually students are away all summer so they don’t want to buy furniture now. Another place to try might be a second-hand shop. Someone from the shop will usually come around and give you a free quote（自由报价）, and then you can decide. But normally you won’t get much money for that sort of stuff.
9. What is Peter’s problem?
10. Which of the items below does Peter want to sell?
11. What is Laura’s suggestion about the books?
12. What does Laura think of the second hand shop?
Conversation 2
W: Hi, my name’s Alice Jackson and I have a friend Susan, whose son Ben is taking guitar lessons from you, and she suggested I call you.
M: Ok. Will the lessons be for yourself or a child?
W: They will be for myself. My son is only three and I’d like him to take piano lessons next year.
M: Fine. Have you had any musical experience before?
W: Well, I studied the piano for about three months but that was six years ago.
M: That’s good. So we don’t have to start right from the beginning again.
W: When can I take lessons and how much do they cost?
M: Well, that depends on you. We have a small group that meets on Monday and Wednesday evenings for two hours, that costs $5 an hour. Then on Tuesdays and Thursdays I give private lessons that cost $9 an hour. For children, I charge an extra dollar an hour.
W: I’m afraid I can’t make it on Mondays but I can come on Wednesdays.
M: When are you going to start?
W: Is this Wednesday evening all right?
