  11. M: I thought you would have the repairman come fix the water heater.
  W: I tried calling him all day but his phone apparently was out of order.
  Q: Why didn’t the woman have the repairman come?
  12. M: Hello, this is Dr. Muller calling. Is that Mrs. Weiner?
  W: No, this is Mrs. Pennington, Mrs. Weiner’s sister. Mrs. Weiner isn’t in right now. Can I take a message?
  Q: Who answered the phone?
  13. M: This perfume is a present, so I would appreciate having it wrapped.
  W: Our gift-wrapping department does that up on the third floor. The charge is quite reasonable.
  Q: Who does the woman suggest should wrap the present?
  14. W: My program says intermission is for thirty minutes. So Act II won’t begin before 9: 00.
  M: Then let’s stretch our legs and get some refreshments in the lobby.
  Q: What does the man suggest they do?
  15. W: I can’t cash your traveler’s check without some identification like a driver’s license.
  M: Since I have just arrived in the United States, I have only my passport. Will that do?
  Q: Why does the man offer the woman his passport?
  16. M: Yesterday, we went to Jane’s house to listen to records.
  W: I heard that she has over 100 jazz records. Is that true?
  Q: What do we learn about Jane?
  17. W: I’m going to change the color of my hair when I’m 50 years old.
  M: You are? Well, then when I’m 50, I’m growing a beard.
  Q: What do we learn from the conversation about the present ages of the two?
  18. W: Are you going to the movies tonight?
  M: Only if I finish all my work first.
  Q: What does the man’s comment suggest?
  Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
