Directions: For this task, you will listen to a dialogue. You will hear a question about it. You will then have 20 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.
Student 1(male): Hey, Denise. Are you ready for spring break?
Student 2(female): You bet I am Charlie. I’m just not sure where I’ll be going yet. My roommates and I have been talking about going to the beach in the Bahaman Islands since last spring break, but it isn’t exactly cheap, and only Pat and I were able to save up enough money to go. These last few weeks Bo worked extra shifts at the restaurant, but he still couldn’t make enough money. We all feel really bad because we all wanted to go together. I don’t think we could go without him.
Student 1: Well, can’t you let him borrow some money so that you can all go together?
Student 2: I think we could do that. If me and Pat both pitched in and lent him some money, he might have enough. But I don’t know if he’d want to borrow money from us. He doesn’t usually do that.
Student 1: Well, maybe you just need to find another place to go then. If you all already have some money saved up, you should be able to find a closer, cheaper destination for spring break, right?
Student 2: I suppose we could, but it really just wouldn’t be the same.
Student 1: You should look around. Maybe you can find a place like the
Bahamas, just without the Bahamas price.
Narrator: Now get ready to answer the question.
Narrator: The students discuss two solutions to the woman’s problem. Which solution do you prefer and why? Provide examples to support your choice.
