at does the man suggest the woman do?
13. W: Bob said that Seattle is a great place for conferences.
M: He's certainly in a position to make that comment. He's been there so often.
Q: What does the man say about Bob?
14. W: Mr. Watson, I wonder whether it's possible for me to take a vacation early next month.
M: Did you fill out a request form?
Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
15. M: Do you want to go to the lecture this weekend? I hear the guy who's going to deliver the lecture spent a year living in the rain forest.
W: Great! I'm doing a report on the rain forest. Maybe I can get some new information to add to it.
Q: What does the woman mean?
16. W: Wow! I do like this campus: all the big trees, the green lawns, and the old buildings with tall columns. It's really beautiful.
M: It sure is. The architecture of these buildings is in the Greek style. It was popular in the eighteenth century here.
Q: What are the speakers talking about?
17. M: This article is nothing but advertising for housing developers. I don't think the houses for sale are half that good.
W: Come on, David. Why so negative? We're thinking of buying a home, aren't we? Just a trip to look at the place won’t cost us much.
Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?
18. M: Would you pass me the sports section, please?
W: Sure, if you give me the classified ads local news section.
Q: What are the speakers doing? Now you'll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: Hello, Gary. How're you?
M: Fine! And yourself?
W: Can't complain. Did you have time to look at my proposal?
M: No, not really. Can we go over it now?
W: Sure. I've been trying to come up with some new production and advertising strategies. First of all, if we want to stay competitive, we need to modernize our factory. New equipment should have been installed long ago.
M: How much will that cost?
W: We have several options ranging from one hundred thousand dollars all the way up to half a million.
M: OK. We'll have to discuss these costs with finance.
W: We should also consider human resources. I've been talking to personnel as well as our staff at the factory.
M: And what's the picture?
W: We'll probably have to hire a couple of engineers to help us modernize the factory.
M: What about advertising?
W: Marketing has some interesting ideas for television commercials.
M: TV? Isn't that a bit too expensive for us? What's wrong with advertising in the papers, as usual?
W: Quite frankly, it's just not enough anymore. We need to be more aggressive in order to keep ahead of our competitors.
M: Will we be able to afford all this?
W: I'll look into it, but I think higher costs will be justified. These investments will result in higher profits for our company.
M: We'll have to look at the figures more closely. Have finance draw up a budget for these investments.
W: All right. I'll see to it.

Conversation Two
W: Sir, you've been using the online catalogue for quite a while. Is there anything I can do to help you?
M: Well, I've got to write a paper about Hollywood in the 30s and 40s, and I'm really struggling. There are hundreds of books, and I just don't know where to begin.
W: Your topic sounds pretty big. Why don't you narrow it down to something like... uh... the history of the studios during that time?
M: You
