M: Well, you know, spending too much time indoors with all that artificial lighting can do that to you. Your body loses track of whether it39。 s day or night. Q: What does the man imply? 13. M: I think I39。 ll get one of those new Tshirts, you know, with the school39。 s logo on both the front and back. W: You39。 ll regret it. They are expensive, and I39。 ve heard the printing fades easily when you wash them. Q: What does the woman mean? 14. W: I think your article in the school newspaper is right on target, and your viewpoints have certainly convinced me. M: Thanks, but in view of the general responses, you and I are definitely in the minority. Q: What does the man mean? 15. M: Daisy was furious yesterday because I lost her notebook.

Long Conversations Conversation 1 M: I got two letters this morning with job offers, one from the Polytechnic, and the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy. W: So you are not sure which to go for? M: That39。 s it. Of course, the conditions of work are very different: The Polytechnic is offering two year contract which could be renewed, but the language school is only offering a year39。 s contract, and that39。 s a different minus. It could be renewed, but you never know. W: I see. So it39。 s much less secure. But you don39。 t need to think too much about steady jobs when you are only 23. M: That39。 s true. W: What about the salaries? M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short term. I39。 ll be getting the equivalent of about ￡ 22,000 a year there, but only ￡ 20,000 at the Polytechnic.

W: Mmm… M: Then the type of teaching is so different. The Polytechnic is all adults and mostly preparation for exams like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit of exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in panies and factories, and a couple of children39。 s classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching. W: Well, that sounds much more varied and interesting. And I39。 d imagine you would be doing quire a lot of teaching outside the school, and moving around quite a bit. M: Yes, whereas with the Polytechnic position, I39。 d be stuck in the school all day. Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard: Q19.
