Long Conversation 1
W: Can I help you?
M: Well. I’ m not sure. I hope so. (9) You see, actually, I’m getting married soon. And my friends want to buy me presents and things.
W: And would you like some things for the kitchen.
M: Yes, that’s right. I thought if I could find out things about kitchen things. They would be the best sorts of presents.
W: Well. I suppose the first thing you need is a cooker. Do you like an electron one or a gas one?
M: Hm. I think I probably prefer a gas one. But cookers are very expensive. Aren’t they? How much is this one?
W: It’s 175 pounds, including tax and delivery. It’s a very good one though.
M: But It’s a lot of money, isn’t it? What sorts of things could I ask people to buy? You know, cheaper.
W: Well. You need some pans, won’t you? A set of pans, I suppose, and drying pans. Do you like cooking?
M: Yes. I suppose so.

Long Conversation 2
M: Good morning, Mrs. Thomson.
W: Oh, Mr. Minesuka. Please come in and sit down. I want to talk to you about something that has come up.
M: What's up? Anyway, I'll be glad to help you with anything I can.
W: Some advice, Mr. Minesuka. (12) I've been offered a new job.
M: A new job?
W: As a matter of fact, it isn't the bank in New York.
M: It's the offer from another bank?
W: It's from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development in Washington.
M: (13) You mean the World Bank?
W: (13) That's right. And it's really very unexpected, I might say.
M: You've established reputation in international banking circles. May I ask what kind of position they've offered you?
W: A rather important one, as a matter of fact, deputy director of the International Finance Corporation.
M: (14) Isn't that the part of the Bank that makes loans to private companies in the developing countries?
W: (14) Yes, it is. It's a job that certainly offers a chance for public service.
M: It seems to me that it's a real honor for you.
W: Yes, it is. But I've been with this bank for so many years, ever since I graduated from college, in fact.
M: (15) But it's an honor for the bank too, for the training and experience it's given you.
