Read and listen to four conversations using the grammar.
Conversation 1
Man: Hi there. I would like to know more about your hotel rooms.
Woman: Sure thing. We have standard and deluxe hotel rooms. Each room has a flat screen tv, a mini fridge, and a coffee maker.
Man: That's good. Does every room have a balcony? I need fresh air.
Woman: No, not every room, but all rooms have windows that open.
Man: Great. And how about bathrooms? Do they both have bathtubs?
Woman: No. Neither room has a bathtub, but both have a large shower.
Man: I see. And do both rooms have a large bed?
Perfect. And what about the view? Do all the rooms have a good view?
Okay. Thank you for the information. I think I'll book a room with a city view.
Great choice. Let me assist you with that.
Conversation 2
Man: Where do you buy your clothes?
Woman: I buy my clothes at the mall.
Man: Why don't you buy your clothes online?
Woman: I like to try on the clothes before I buy them.
Man: I see. Do all the shops have a changing room?
Woman: Most do, but not all.
Man: Does the mall have many shops for men?
Woman: Not on every floor, but there's some on the second floor.
Man: I'll have to check it out. I usually buy all my clothes online.
Woman: Well, next time I go, you can come with me.
Man: That sounds fun. I'd like that
Conversation 3
Man: What is the weather like in Thailand? I want to visit there and stay on the beach.
Woman: There are three seasons, hot, hotter, and hottest. Each season is very warm.
Man: Is it really hot all year?
Woman: Yes. Each season is very warm, but the dry season is not too bad.
Man: When is the dry season?
Woman: It is from December to March. It's sunny almost every day and cool at night.
Man: When does it rain?
Woman: In the rainy season, from August to October.
Man: How much does it rain?
Woman: Not that much, but it rains every day, but only for a few hours every evening.
Man: So there's the wet season and the dry season. What other season is there?
Woman: There's the hot season from March to August. That's when it's really hot.
Man: So if I go to Thailand, I guess I should go in dry season
Woman: Perhaps, but that's when all the tourists come. So all the beaches are crowded.
Conversation 4
Man: How many students do you teach?
Woman: Every semester? I have 100 students with 25 students in each class.
Man: That's a lot of students. Do you know all their names?
Woman: Yes, each and every one. But it takes a while to learn them all.
Man: Wow. How can you remember all the students' names?
Woman: I tried to call on each student every day.
Man: That still sounds very difficult.
Woman: I also try to learn a detail about each student. That helps a lot.
Man: How long does it take to learn all of the students' names?
Woman: For most classes, I can learn all the names in about a week.
Man: Wow, that is impressive.
Woman: Not really. Anyone can do it.
