Q1. I'd like to give you a situation and ask you to act it out. Let's imagine that you want to hire a tutor to help you learn a language. Call the tutor, identify yourself and ask three of four questions to find out what you need to know.

Hello, nice talking to you. My name is jo kyoo sang and I am looking for a tutor who can help me with brushing up on my english. I haver studied english for more than ten years, but still have some problems expressing myself fluently. As I don't have any opportunities to use english in my daily life, I would like a tutor who I can work to improve my english proficiency. So, I would like to ask a few questions. 1. Do you have experience in teaching intermediate level speakers of english? I want a tutor with some experience in teaching students of my level. 2. Can you tell me what you rates are? Do you charge by the hour or session? 3. What days during the week are you available? Since I am mostly tied up during the week, I would like to have the tutoring sessions on the weekend. Can you briefly tell me what I need to know? Thank you.

Q2. Tell me the last time you met or talked with one of your neighbors. Can you describe who the neighbor was? And how or why you met him or her that day? Tell me all the details of that meeting.

I met one of my neighbors at a park near my apartment building a few years ago. I went to the park to jog and I bumped into him. He also seemed to be at the park to exercise. He lives on the same floor as I do and is a pediatrician. I first said hello and asked him how his work was going. Then we started talking about the new apartment complex that was being built nearby. He and I agreed that if the new apartments are completed, there would be much more traffic in the neighborhood, which was not something we liked. We also talked about the new buildings blocking sunlight. Since some of the new buildings are going to be built much higher than our buildings, we agreed that we would get less sunlight. Overall, we seemed to share concerns that the new apartment buildings would do more harm than good to our neighborhood.
