They are both good activities. Q: What does the man say about the activities? 16. M: I can't for the life of me to get that washing machine downstairs to work. Do you have any suggestions? W: Try washing just half of the normal load. Q: What does the woman suggest the man do? 17. M: I'm think about dropping my swimming class. I am just not catching on. W: Stick with it. I did and I learned how to swim, eventually. Q: What can be inferred about the woman? 18. M: Doctor, this cough medicine doesn't seem to be helping. Can you give me a different prescription?
