  1. What do you recommend my family and I do at this vacation resort?  (45 sec.)

[B]Possible Answer: [/B] [I][B] I recommend that you and your family go to the water slides.  This resort has some amazing slides.  I guarantee that you will have a lot of fun there.  Since you are staying at the resort, you will not have to pay an entrance fee.  Also, I know you have small children, so you'll be happy to find that there is a small wading pool for young children.  Also, I recommend you try the kamikaze slide.  It is really exciting.  [/B] [/I]

2. Please give me directions from the hotel to the bike rental shop. (30 sec.)



  3.  What are the advantages of doing quiet activities such as reading, and doing more active things such as participating in sports?  Discuss both.  (60 sec.)

[B]Possible Answer: [/B] [I][B]One of the advantages of doing quiet activities is that it helps you to relax.  After a busy day at work I like to sit down at home and read a book or magazine in a quiet place.  At that time I can turn my mind to other things and forget about my stress and problems.  On the other hand, an advantage of doing something which is more active is that it is good for your health.  Whenever I play basketball with my friends, I sweat a lot.  I feel much stronger after doing something that is very active.  Also, it helps me to reduce my stress. [/B] [/I]

  4.  4.  Story Telling  (60 sec.)

[B]Possible Answer: [/B] [I][B]One Saturday afternoon Tom and Susan were out on a date to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.  They went downtown and saw a poster for a concert by a famous opera singer that would begin at 8:00 p.m.  It was the last performance.  They decided to take a bus and waited for one hour, however, a bus didn't come.  Finally, in a hurry, they took a taxi instead.  The taxi got caught in a traffic jam on the way to the theater.  When they got to the theater, all the tickets had already been sold out, so they couldn't attend the concert.  It was a very disappointing night for both of them. [/B] [/I]

  5.  What could they have done to prevent this situation?  (45 sec.)

[B] Possible Answer:  [/B] [I][B]I think they should have made a reservation before they left for the opera.  They could have called and asked for two tickets to be reserved for them.  If they had done that they could have attended the opera even though they were a little late.  Also, they should have planned more carefully so that they could have avoided the heavy traffic.  People in cities generally know when the traffic is worst.  They could have planned to leave at a time when the traffic wouldn't be so heavy. [/B] [/I]

  6.  Call the department of transportation and complain that there were no buses at the bus stop in front of your house today.  (45 sec.)

[B]Possible Answer: [/B] [I][B]Hello.  Is this the department of transportation?  I have a complaint to make.  Today I waited for forty-five minutes for a bus in front of my house.  Finally, I had to take a taxi.  I wonder if the bus route has been changed?  I depend on buses for transportation.  Please talk to the bus driver and find out what happened today.  I hope this will never happen again.  Would you please call me back and let me know what the problem was and if it has been corrected.  Thank you very much. [/B] [/I]

  7.  Please recommend a particular music performer in your country.  Why do you recommend this person?  (60 sec.)

[B] Possible Answer: [/B] [I][B]I recommend try listening to some of Eric Clapton's music.  He is a famous music artist in America and throughout the world.  I think he is one of the most talented guitarist and vocalist I've ever heard.  He has played in numerous well known and successful bands.  These days he performs alone without a band.  His jazz guitar is particularly good.  One of his most popular songs, around the world, is 'Tears In Heaven'.  Some people like him so much that they say he is god (of music, of course).  I don't know about that, but I really like his music. [/B] [/I]

  8.  What are some of the ways students learn from formal school education?  (60 sec.)

[B] Possible Answer: [/B] [I][B]One way that students learn from formal school education is through participation in the class organization.  In the classroom students learn to cooperate with other students and the teacher.  They have to learn to control themselves during class and to obey all the rules.  Also, students learn about how to solve problems as they do their class work.  When they have a problem they must learn to ask the teacher questions.  I think this helps them to be courageous and to develop self confidence. [/B] [/I]

  9.  What have you done to achieve your goals in the past?  (60 sec.)

[B] Possible Answer: [/B] [I] [B]To achieve my goals, in the past, I decided on an exact date when I would accomplish them.  By choosing a specific date to complete my goals, I had enough motivation to continue diligently working on them.  Without a specific date for completion, I have found that it is too easy to procrastinate and put off working on them.  Also, I like to tell others about my goals, so that I can get extra encouragement and support from my friends and family.  These things have helped me a lot as I have set and accomplished many goals throughout my life.  [/B]  [/I]

  10.  Graph Description

[B] Possible Answer:  [/B] [I][B]This graph compares one family's water usage in gallons over the period of one year.  The graph shows that the family used more water in the summer months than the other months of the year.  July was the highest month for water consumption.  The graph shows that about 600 gallons of water were used in July.  Both June and August were also quite high, being at over 500 gallons each.  All other months shown on the graph were greater than 300 gallons, but less than 400 gallons.  We can see clearly from this graph that the family used much more water in the summer months. [/B] [/I]

11.  What could the family do to reduce water usage?

[B]Possible Answer: [/B] [I] [B]I think the family could go out more often to avoid using water as a way to cool off.  I think people tend to use water in the summer to cool off.  For example, some people take a shower two or three times a day in the summer.  Instead, I think they should go swimming more frequently at a lake, ocean or a swimming pool.  Also, buying some cool refreshments at the grocery store could help them to cool off and help them to reduce their water consumption. [/B] [/I]

[B] Possible Answer:[/B] [I][B]Welcome everyone to today's meeting for the Cherry Valley Club.  Our first subject for discussion this afternoon is our Canoe Trip.  There have been a few changes made to our schedule and I'd like you to take some notes of these changes as I give them to you.  First of all, we will move the trip to April 19th instead of going on April 12th, if it rains.  There are some reports that there will be a lot of rain on the weekend of April 12th, so we probably should plan on moving the trip to April 19th.  Our departure time will be at 7:00 a.m. instead of 7:30 a.m.  Also, please note that children will not be allowed to enter the recreation center unattended.  Adults must attend their children for them to gain entrance.  Also, those of you who volunteered to help with the trip should note that they will be required to transport equipment in their vehicles.  Finally, all application forms must be turned in by March 30th.  These are the changes to the trip.  If you have any questions about these changes, please ask me those questions now. [/B] [/I]
