But she has a pet cat and I'm very allergic. --What does the man mean? 17. --One of the members of the dormitory council is quitting. Do you know of anyone who would be interested in taking her place? --I'm not sure. But I'll certainly keep an eye out for you. --What will the man probably do? 18. --Have you heard about the new fitness center they are building downtown? --Yeah. I can hardly wait for it to open. --What does the man mean? 19. --Hi. I'd like to sign up for the film selection committee. Is this the right place? --Yes, it is. There are a lot of fun people on that committee but you have to put a lot of hours. I hope your schedule isn't too tight. --What does the woman imply? 20. --You don't seem to be able to sit still today. What's going on? --Today they announce who gets the big scholarship for the next year. --How does the man probably feel? 21. --I'm really looking forward to the picnic tomorrow. --If we are lucky, we'll have some sun this year for a change. --What does the man imply? 22. --What a mess with the custodian to clean up. --You can say that again. --What does the man mean? 23. --I wish we had more time for lunch. --Me too.

I'm usually here on weekends. It's my dad's shop. So you are looking for a bike? * Yeah. Now that the weather is warming up, I thought I get some exercise instead of taking the bus all the time. * Well, you came to the right place. Do you know what you would like? * Well, I don't want a racer or a touring bike or anything. Mostly I'll just be using it to get me back and forth from work. * How far is that? * About four miles. * Are there a lot of hills on the way? * Some I guess. But maybe I should tell you at the front that I only got 150 dollars. Can I get anything decent for that? * Well, you are not going to get anything top of the line. But we do have a few trade-ins in the back that are in good condition. * That sounds good. * And you are right. For the kind of ride you are going to be doing, the most important thing is comfort.
