James : Do you think Miss Thorpe is really going to resign?
Peter : —
James : Why do you say that?
Peter : It’s time someone taught the boss a lesson.

I hardly think so. Everything will be forgotten by next week.

I have no idea. What do you think?

She may. It won’t make much difference any way.

I’m not too sure. But I certainly hope she does.

Anyhow, she’s making a lot of fuss about nothing.

Soru 2
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Alan : When should we break the news to him?
Patricia : —
Alan : I quite agree. So, shall we say this evening?
Patricia : Agreed.

The sooner the better in my opinion.

Well, shall we say sometime tomorrow?

We’d better wait a week or so.

Whenever you think best.

I thought the doctor had already told him.

Soru 3
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Anne : I thought Helen and Mary were good friends.
David : —
Anne : What happened then?
David : I don’t know. But they are hardly on speaking terms now.

Yes; but Mary is rather a difficult person you know.

Well, aren’t they?

Oh they are. But their interests are rather different.

They used to be. But not any longer.

 They still are, aren’t they?

Soru 4
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Andrew : Have you read the Government’s new report concerning health and safety legislation?
James : Not yet. But I do intend to.
Andrew : —
James : I’ll let you know. It has certainly aroused a lot interest.

I shouldn’t bother. There is nothing of interest in it.

In that case I’ll give you my copy.

It’s short and to the point since it gives a full account of the causes of the problem.

Then what did you think of the distinction made between “risk” and “hazard”?

Yes, you should. I’ll be interested to hear what you think about it.

Soru 5
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Mr Fuller : Well, how did the shopping expedition go?
Mrs Fuller : Well, we bought some lovely things; but ...
Mr Fuller : —
Mrs Fuller : Yes, I’m afraid that’s the case.

Then why do you say “but”?

But what? I suppose you spent more than you intended to; is that it?

Well then, show me everything.

Was there any money left over for a new shirt for me?

You got back quite early considering you went with Mary.

Soru 6
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Jill : We’re collecting money for the cleaning lady.
Molly : Really? Why?
Jill : —
Molly : Oh how lovely! Yes, of course, we must get a present for him.

I thought you knew! Her husband is back in hospital and they are going to operate on him.

She has been out of work for a long while now and really has some bad money problems.

Haven’t you heard? Her first grandson was born last week.

Her purse was stolen last week; at least that’s what she says.

I really don’t know, either. But everyone seems to think we ought to.

Soru 7
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Laura : They are spending an awful lot on advertising their new range of hair-care!
David : —
Laura : What ? A poor product?
David : Yes; very often it does anyhow.

Really? I hadn’t noticed any.

I suppose they need to. There are so many hair-care products.

And you know what excessive advertising usually means, don’t you?

Well, they haven’t produced a new range for a long time.

They don’t need to. Their products are well-known and much appreciated.

Soru 8
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Andrew : Why, if inflation is falling, has the Bank of England raised interest rates?
Gerald : —
Andrew : Well, yes; I suppose that makes sense.
Gerald : And moreover, the present situation is such as to justify a small rise now.

I didn’t realize it had. We’d better, see what The Financial Times says about it.

Well, like you I can only make a guess; but it seems to me there is something odd going on.

To tell you the truth, I’m pleased. There’ll be a bit more in my bank account by the end of the
year.

Oh, it constantly goes up and down without apparently, any good reason.

I suppose because it is concerned, not about present day inflation, but about what it will be two
years ahead.

Soru 9
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Martin : Their latest advertising campaign is scandalous.
Edward : Yes. But technically they are within the law.
Martin : —
Edward : So do I. But there’s nothing we can do about it.

I very much doubt it. In fact, I’m all for filing a complaint against them.

We can launch a similar campaign.

Are you quite sure about that?

Still, I regard such tactics as completely unethical.

We must take some action. What do you suggest?

Soru 10
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Jenny : How was the journey?
Brian : Quite pleasant, really. There was a gorgeous sunset.
Jenny : “Sunset,” did you say?
Brian : —

The sun sets later here than in the East.

Yes. I rarely get the chance to see a sunset, so I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

If you want a really good sunset, there have to be some clouds in the sky.

Yes. I find these short days and long nights extremely depressing.

I suppose I did. But I didn’t really mean to.

Soru 11
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Matthew : Did you go to the theatre last night to see Rod Davis’ new play?
Carol : —
Matthew : Why do you say that?
Carol : Well, I’d never heard of him before, so I wasn’t expecting much.

Yes I did. And it was surprisingly good.

No. My father suddenly arrived in town, so I spent the evening with him.

Yes. And it was as boring as his previous play!

No. I go tonight. And I’m looking forward to it.

I couldn’t go so I gave my ticket to my sister.

Soru 12
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Adrian : Are you going to that cocktail party this evening?
Jennifer : Yes I am. It will be held in the garden, you know.
Adrian : —
Jennifer : How true! I hadn’t thought of that.

Will you be going by car?

Are Jane and Mary coming too?

The Marsden still haven’t decided whether to go or not.

That’s nice. We won’t be in a room full of smoke.

Let’s go together. Can you come for me at 6 o’clock?

Soru 13
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Martin : I’ve been reading about naval activities during World War I.
Colin : —
Martin : Quite a lot. Did you know that British submarines sank nearly 1,000 ships in European waters
alone?
Colin : No, I didn’t. That’s quite an impressive figure.
 Well, are you now an expert in these matters?

Yes, I know that book; I’m not sure how reliable the information is.

If you find it interesting pass it on to me when you’ve finished

That’s a subject I don’t know much about

Well, what have you learnt?

Soru 14
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Mavis : How are you getting on with that book? Gertrude Stein is supposed to be difficult to read.
Pat : Let’s say her style is unusual and you do need to get used to it.
Mavis : —
Pat : Oh certainly. Her ideas are really very interesting and
stimulating.

And how long does that take?

I suppose all good writers have their own individual style.

Well, in the end, is it worth all the effort?

I don’t think I’d enjoy her.

Does this special style of hers serve any useful purpose?

Soru 15
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Mother : Should I send my little son to his grandmother’s house as his brother Richard has the
mumps?
Doctor : —
Mother : Why not?
Doctor : Because you can’t prevent him from getting the infection, you can only postpone it; and the
older he gets the more serious it is likely to be.

No, I really do not recommend such a course.

Yes, I think that would be a very good idea.

No I don’t. He’s probably already caught it anyway.

You might as well let them both have it together.

It’s not good to separate children when they are ill. They can be very supportive of each other.

Soru 16

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Son : If you were my age, what sort of career would you chose?
Father : It seems to me that the electronics industry would be an extremely exciting area in which to
work.
Son : —
Father : More or less everything. It’s behind what’s going on in other industries, from aerospace to
telecommunications.
 Is it a job for a researcher or a practical person?

Tell me about it.

Then what sort of a degree is required?

Well, what does it involve?

How can I learn more about it?

Soru 17
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Patrick : I see the controversy over the use of cameras to stop speeding continues.
Ben : —
Patrick : Well, some people reckon that visible cameras are more effective, others that hidden ones
are.
Ben : Well, whenever I have been caught it has been by hidden ones.

I think we need them. There are more cars on the roads these days and more accidents.

Something more than speed control is needed.

Yes; and I expect it will go on doing so. Which side are you on?

That’s normal. Nobody wants them!

I wasn’t aware of it. What’s happening?

Soru 18
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Alison : What are you reading?
Brenda: An article on tulips. Apparently when a tulip is two-coloured, this is due to a virus disease.
Alison : —
Brenda: So do I.

Really? How interesting! But actually I prefer the single-coloured ones.

How can they be sure of that?

I find that hard to believe. They are always coming up with preposterous ideas!

I suppose it could be. I’ve certainly noticed that they aren’t as strong as the single-coloured ones.

That’s a shame! Because really they are so lovely? Don’t you agree?

Soru 19
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Amy : They say that Monet spent two weeks in Madrid studying the paintings in the Prado and ate
almost nothing the whole while.
Jane : Do you think that is true?
Amy : —
Jane : Maybe it is true. But one shouldn’t believe all one hears and reads.

Really? His great works nearly all show a strong Spanish influence.

I don’t know. That is what is alleged. Apparently he hated Spanish food.

 Obviously Spain attracted many painters throughout the 19th century.

I know that the Prado is one of the greatest museums in the world.

I didn’t realize that you were so interested in Monet’s paintings.

Soru 20

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Gregory : Have you read much Thurber? Robert : I can’t say that I have. But I seem to remember that
he often illustrates his writings with drawings.
Gregory : —
Robert : Yes. I remember now. There is apparently no detail, but they give a wonderful sense of
movement.

True; and his drawings are strangely unsophisticated and even crude.

He must be about the only modern author to write fables.

There is an interesting blend of the comic and the serious in his writings.

Actually, he deserves to be far better known than he is.

I always thought you were more familiar with his works and those of his contemporaries.

Soru 21
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Garth : What do you think of Carter’s appointment?
Perry : I’m not sure. He can be very unscrupulous, you know.
Garth : —
Perry : That’s also true. I really don’t know whether I’m pleased or not.

Why do you say that?

Quite frankly, I’m not looking forward to working under him.

In fact I’m already scanning the newspapers for job opportunities.

Do you really think so? I’ve never seen that side of him.

Did his appointment come as a surprise to you?

Soru 22
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Mary : Do you know anything about Ithaca?
Trevor : —
Mary : But was it?
Trevor : It could have been. Excavations support the supposition and so does the topography.

I can find it on the map for you.

Not much. Homer writes about it in The Odysseus.

A little. Traditionally, it’s identified as the home of Odysseus.

Yes, I’ve been there a couple of times.

 Quite a lot. What do you want to know about it?

Soru 23
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Brian : What’s on the agenda for the meeting?
Mark : The first item is books, text books.
Brian : —
Mark : Don’t you remember? At the end of last semester several staff members complained that the
present ones were out-ofdate.

Well, what about them?

That will take up a lot of time!

How many items are there altogether?

That reminds me, you haven’t returned that book I lent you.

We also need to talk about science books.

Soru 24
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Mrs Fairbanks : How’s your mother these days?
Mrs Curry : Oh, reasonably well, I suppose, considering
her age.
Mrs Fairbanks : Has the arthritis cleared up then?
Mrs Curry : —

No one really understands what causes rheumatoid arthritis.

No. And I really don’t know how to help her cope. She may have to go into hospital.

It’s actually getting much worse and stops her sleeping properly.

Not entirely. But it is certainly less troublesome now than when you saw her.

Fatigue and exposure to cold and damp seem to aggravate the condition.

Soru 25

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Molly : The farmers along the Eastern Black Sea coast are complaining that growing tea is no longer
economic.
Ralph : What do they mean by that?
Molly : —
Ralph : These days just about everyone is in the same boat !

Of course, a dry season always affects them badly.

They mean they are working hard but not making any profit.

I suppose they are really complaining about the prices of fertilizers and insecticides.

In the shops, though, tea is really quite expensive.

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Matthew : Well, what did you think of the last candidate?
Richard : He’s easily the best of the ones we’ve interviewed.
Matthew : —
Richard : Yes, he does. And after all, that’s very high on our list of requirements.

Right. And he really does have a good command of spoken English.

Do you think so? I’m not quite sure myself.

Undoubtedly. But I had hoped we’d find someone more experienced in field work.

And how bad most of them were!

Let’s give him a try then. We really need someone urgently.

Soru 2

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Barry : Have you ever heard of the Bridge to Asia organization?
Cliff : —
Barry : It’s asking here for people to help developing countries in Asia by donating back issues of
serious journals to help fill the empty library shelves there.
Cliff : What an excellent idea! I hope they get a good response.

It’s run by a group of rather peculiar people. Avoid it!

Yes. It was closed down two weeks ago, and for a very good reason.

Can’t say that I have. What does it do?

Yes, I have. And I do not want to hear any more about it.

The information they give there is not very reliable. Don’t take it seriously.
Soru 3

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Mrs Turner : How did the meeting go?
Mr Turner : —
Mrs Turner : And is that due to your clever advertising
techniques?
Mr Turner : I suppose it is. To some extent anyway.

Everyone’s rather concerned because we’re facing more competition than formerly.

Well enough. Actually, there wasn’t much to discuss and the chairman wanted to keep it short.

It was a waste of time, as usual. There wasn’t even anything of importance on the agenda.

Fine. Four out of the five new products on the market are really selling well.

Remarkably well. It was as if everyone had decided to be as agreeable as possible!

Soru 4

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Kevin : Why does England import so many milk products? I’m sure she could be self-supporting.
Jenny : —
Kevin : Oh. It’s a question of you buy from me and I’ll buy from you.
Jenny : Exactly. Agriculture is the world’s largest industry and has to conform with the general
industrial plan considered desirable.

Being self-supporting isn’t necessarily an advantage.

Do you honestly think so? I doubt it.

She could I suppose. But people like variety and so foreign cheeses, for instance, are very
popular.

Of course she could. But actually it might be cheaper to import.

Yes, she could. But it’s a question of finding markets for her manufactured goods.

Soru 5

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Mark : I see the servicemen who were ordered to stand on the decks of their frigates during
hydrogen-bomb tests in the Pacific some 10 years ago, are going to court about it.
Jason : —
Mark : That their life expectancy has been reduced and that there is an unusually high rate of genetic
disorders among their children.
Jason : Well, if it is true, I certainly hope they win the case.

That’s interesting. What do they claim?

I can’t remember the incident at all.

People are always looking for easy ways to get money.

Well, I suppose they may have a case.

It won’t be easy to prove, that’s for sure.

Soru 6

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Sally :You know the old houses along the Bosphorus with their softly coloured wooden walls, actually
enhance the views.
Mark : They do indeed! Not like the harsh white concrete ones that ruin so many coastlines.
Sally : —
Mark : No, let’s not.

Please don’t remind me of them.

Let’s make sure it’s really safe, shall we?

I’d like to live in a house like that.

You know I could live here. I’ll never tire of the view.

Oh, don’t let’s think about them!

Soru 7

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Gwen : Apparently, Turkish textiles attracted a great deal of attention in Britain as far back as the
16th century.
Jennifer : I suppose it was the striking designs that attracted people.
Gwen : —
Jennifer : Yes, now I remember. The quality of the dyes was way ahead of anything in Europe.
 That, too, of course; but the high quality production techniques were also admired.

Turkish woollen fabrics were known to be extremely soft and strong.

It was through the operas on Turkish themes that Europeans were first introduced to Turkish
dress.

The paintings of certain Dutch artists are an important source of information about early
Turkish carpet designs.

At that time, many English merchants were trading with Turkey.

Soru 8

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
David : Can you recommend a book on astronomy? Preferably wellillustrated and fairly elementary.
Shop assistant : Oh certainly. Take a look at this one.
David : —
Shop assistant : Yes, indeed. And it’s full of practical information too, even on the types of telescopes
you can buy.

You don’t regard this as a definitive guide to astronomy, do you?

I think you need to know a fair bit about astronomy before you can follow this!

Astronomy is evolving rapidly so one needs to up-date one’s knowledge frequently.

Yes. It’s certainly got plenty of fascinating photographs and diagrams and star maps.

I like the look of this. But what else do you have?

Soru 9

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Wife : Why don’t you stop complaining about your partners and set up in business on your own?
Husband : I’d love to! But it would be hard going for at least three years!
Wife : —
Husband : That’s a good point. Maybe, we shouldn’t put it off any longer.

I think we’d both be a lot happier. What’s worrying you?

What do you mean by that? That we’d be short of money?

I wouldn’t mind that at all.

 Then let’s forget it! We can go on as we are.

We can cope with a bit of hardship now. Ten years hence it might not be so easy.

Soru 10

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Reg : Have you read this new book on Isaac Newton that
everyone’s talking about?
Harry : —
Reg : Why not?
Harry : I gather it’s not very scholarly and it’s rather disparaging of Newton.

I’m still only half-way through it.

I really didn’t know everyone was talking about it!

No, I haven’t. And I don’t intend to, either.

I’m not surprised. But it won’t be popular.

I gather it throws a new light on him; is that so?

Soru 11

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Alice : Listen to this: “The constraints facing investors today are no more serious than yesterday - just
more complex.”
Bruce : Well, what does that mean?
Alice : —
Bruce : Yes, it sounds like a typical advert. No meaning but dressed up beautifully in words.

I thought it would help you to decide how to invest your winnings!

I’ve no idea; I was just reading a part of a bank advert.

Nothing at all to me. Shall I go on and read some more to you?

I wish I had something to invest.

Why do you ask?

Soru 12
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Colin : How do people spend their money in Britain once the basic expenses have been met?
Gary : It rather depends on the age group. The young ones like to eat out and go to night clubs and
health clubs.
Colin : —
Gary : They tend to spend quite a lot on improving their homes and their gardens.

What about the summer holidays? Where do they like to go?

Are you sure? I thought they liked going off to France or Spain at weekends.

How old are these “young” people you talk about?

That doesn’t appeal to me. I must be getting old!

And what about the more sober middle-aged ones?

Soru 13

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Adam : In the 1980s, surely, there were high rates of unemployment in Italy as well as in England.
Clive : Quite so. But in England you saw the unemployed
everywhere, but not in Italy.
Adam : —
Clive : Because actually the people in Italy were all employed doing something in hundreds of
informal ways that the taxman presumably never knew about.

Not in Germany, either, I imagine.

Are you sure about that?

I never knew that. What happened?

I wonder why that was.

How odd! I suppose they all stayed indoors.

Soru 14

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Jean : Why are you applying for a position in a General Hospital in Southampton?
Adam : Well, to start with, it’s a first class hospital. Also, the situation appeals to me.
Jean : —
Adam : Not really. Just one hour by rail.

But it’s an awful long way from London.

I thought you’d prefer some place nearer to London.

You haven’t even seen the place!

Well, it certainly doesn’t appeal to me!

Otherwise, you’d be advised to stay nearer to London.

Soru 15

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
James : The third lunar attempt was classified as a “successful failure”. What an odd term!
Alan : Not really. It failed because it didn’t achieve what it set out to do; but the crew were rescued
and that was its success.
James : —
Alan : Right. And the emphasis is in the right place: on human life.

I believe one of the oxygen tanks was ruptured during the attempt.

Is that true or did you make it up?

Yes, now I understand. It’s logical when you think about it.

I can’t even remember why the attempt was aborted.

When the shuttle Challenger exploded, it killed the crew of seven.

Soru 16

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Greg : If they say something is a “foregone conclusion”, what do they mean?
Father : They mean it’s pretty certain what’s going to happen.
Greg : —
Father : They mean there’s not much doubt about which country is going to win.

So, imagine they are talking about who is going to win the tenis tournament.

So, if they are talking about who is going to win the war, what do they mean?
 Can there be a foregone conclusion when they are deciding on Nobel Prize winners?

But can one be quite certain about anything?

Are you quite sure you are going to get that promotion?

Soru 17

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Janet : Was “The Flying Scotsman” an aircraft?
Bruce : —
Janet : Then why is it described as “flying”?
Bruce : Because it was a fast train. It was a luxury express running between London and Edinburgh.

No, it wasn’t; it was a train.

I’m not sure. Perhaps it was.

I don’t think so. It could have been an athlete.

Ask Richard. He’s knowledgeable about aircraft.

I don’t see why it should be.

Soru 18

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Greg : What are the advantages of digital photography over the traditional one?
Brian : Well, you can see the image almost instantaneously on the camera’s display.
Greg : —
Brian : You certainly can. And that, of course, is another advantage. You can try again as often as you
like.

And if you don’t like it, can you get rid of it?

How can you put pictures onto a web site?

How difficult are they to operate? Do you think I could use one?

Is it possible to get good close-ups with a digital camera?

Do I need a computer to print my digital photos?

Soru 19

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Dick : What are you doing? That’s children’s TV you are watching!
Pam : I know it is. It’s a noisy, happy contest between two schools. But it’s also putting across some
good lessons.
Dick : —
Pam : They are stressing the importance of concentration.
Before showing a short film they told both teams to concentrate hard so they would remember all
the details and be able to answer the questions.

Why not? Are you sure it’s worth watching?

Are the children learning those lessons?

You’re quite right! It really is noisy!

Yes. TV’s potential as an education aid should be exploited.

Give me an example.

Soru 20

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Jenny : It seems that every magazine I pick up has something to say about obesity.
Molly : —
Jenny : True. But all this shouting about it isn’t altering the trend.
Molly : It may start to do so soon. Be patient.

Apparently the incidence of obesity has been rising rapidly in Japan, too, in recent years.

Does it? I wasn’t aware of the fact.

Yes. I’ve noticed that too. But I suppose we should be made aware of the fact that it is on the
increase.

I didn’t know that. But an article I read the other day suggested that it’s not what we eat but
how much we eat that affects our weight.

That could be. The French eat much smaller portions of everything than the Americans do.

Soru 21
Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Greg : I see Japanese banks are suddenly giving a lot of details about their plans to deal with bad
debts.
Frank : Really? I wonder why.
Greg : —
Frank : Could be. Certainly they need to take some drastic measures if they are to improve the
financial situation.

I don’t think we should look for an explanation.

It’s possibly in response to the governments threat to intervene.

They’ve recently been under attack from all sorts of quarters.

I’ve no idea. Have you?

Change does not necessarily mean a change for the better.

Soru 22

Diyalogta boş bırakılan yere gelmesi gereken ifade aşağıdaki şıkların hangisinde doğru olarak
verilmiştir?
Pat : I like this book review; it’s refreshingly honest!
James : I think I know the one you mean. The book is about stres and how to avoid it, isn’t it?
Pat : —
James : Yes. No originality but it’s beautifully expressed!

Actually, to be fair, in the review, we’re also told that, quote, “It’s as comprehensive as anything
you’ll find outside of a medical textbook”.

Why did you read it?

Everyone is talking about stres these days, and how to avoid it; but honestly, I don’t think
anyone can.

Right. And we’re told the advice can be summed up as, quote, “Eat sensibly, exercise regularly,
and try to avoid difficult situations”.

Nowadays people experience stress; in the old days we all used to worry too much.

Alison : Now doesn’t this sound fascinating! In the middle of Bristol city centre they’ve set up a living
rain forest.
Sally : Are you sure you’ve read it right?
Alison : —
Sally : Then let’s go. It’s in easy reach of London.

Why don’t you read it for yourself?

Quite sure. And there are more than 150 animal species there.

I’m not sure that I believe it myself!

I’ve always wanted to see a rain forest. I wonder how big it is.

Do you think it might be worth a visit?

Jennifer : You know, I took a course in finance, but I really annot follow these arguments that are
going on concerning the stock markets.
Colin : That’s because in finance text books, markets are perfect and stock prices reflect all available
financial information.
Jennifer : —
Colin : Exactly.

Can’t they do something to ensure that individual stocks are more accurately valued?

But how are investors reacting?

Are genuine earnings actually appreciably lower than investors have been led to believe?

I suppose you’re actually saying that in the real world this is not the case; is that it?

Actually, I reckon the buying and selling of stocks is basically a form of gambling; what do you
think?

Giles : I see the question of immigration continues to carry
a lot of weight in Switzerland.
Chris : —
Giles : Yes; they are not allowed to forget that; and they’ve
developed a complex about it.
Chris : Still, immigration is a problem for them, and a fifth of the Swiss population is now foreign.

Last year some 12% of asylum applications were accepted, this being an increase on previous
years.

The party’s supporters nearly all come from the German-speaking cantons.

Voters have again rejected proposals by right-wingers who are seeking to limit immigration.

That’s because the authorities turned back Jewish refugees at the height of the genocide during
the World War II.

They continue to be sensitive about criticism abroad on this issue.

Gary : In Germany, only one in five workers is a trade union member.
Patrick : —
Gary : That wouldn’t be as easy as it sounds. A fair proportion of their lower house of parliament are
union officials.
Patrick : Is that so?

I didn’t know that. So what’s the problem?

Then why doesn’t the government simply stand up to the unions?

So the unions can’t have much power!

Then why is their power so great that they are regarded as a kind of shadow government?

But they still make their presence felt in various ways.

Alec : How are you getting on with that book of short stories James gave you?
Malcolm : —
Alec : Why was that?
Malcolm : Well, all the stories make strange things seem ordinary, and ordinary things strange. It’s
rather disturbing at first.

Fine now, but I found it a bit difficult to get into at first.

I haven’t even begun to read it.

It’s too modern for me; it’s also too literary.

To be honest, I don’t really like autobiography.

Grand. Iris Murdoch is one of my favourite writers.

Larry : It’s residential area that is literally fenced off from the rest of a town and privately guarded.
Kitty : —
Larry : Oh, usually the rich and the famous; for instance, a lot of the country’s top football players.

I wouldn’t be happy living like that.

In Britain, what sort of people live there?

It might suit people of a nervous disposition.

Are they common in Europe and America?

That doesn’t necessarily make them particularly safe!

Mary : According to this survey, the majority of really
successful businesswomen invest themselves in their
careers, and are actually very lonely.
Jenny : And what about the successful businessmen?
Mary : —
Jenny : I can believe that. But it’s odd, isn’t it?

Surely you’re not suggesting that they are lonely too.

I haven’t got to them yet. I’ll let you know when I do.
 I don’t know. I’ve never met one.

I hadn’t thought about that. Aren’t they too busy to be lonely?

Their case is very different. They are usually happily married and have children.

Colin : I thought that with the introduction of the euro, price variations in Europe would more or less
disappear.
Peter : —
Colin : Why not?
Peter : There are several reasons. One is the different tax rates, especially on things like alcohol.

A lot of people thought like that. And it might still happen.

Actually, quite the reverse has occurred.

It’s still too early to comment on the matter. But the differences are growing less.

That’s what everyone expected. But it hasn’t worked out like that.

Price variations aren’t such a bad thing after all I hope they won’t disappear.

Jane : What were you doing all day? I kept phoning but you were never in your office.
Neil : —
Jane : Was that really essential?
Neil : It certainly was. Morale and the company spirit both have a bearing on productivity.

The morning was taken up with meetings. And there was a staff party in the afternoon that I
had to attend.

I spent most of the day in the factory: we are reorganizing the assembly line.

I wasn’t out all that much, but I did have to go to the bank.

What did you want me for, anyway?

Meetings! Most of them related to the installation of the new boiler. I have doubts about the
reliability of the contractors.

Patrick : Why are you so insistent that we must find a framework of collective security that does not
rely on nuclear deterrence?
Mark : —
Patrick : Why is that?
Mark : Surely it’s obvious: they have no cities that can be bombed in reply and they are not focussed
on self-preservation.

I am convinced that reliance on nuclear weapons will be obsolete in the near future.

Because the very existence of nuclear weapons gives rise to the pursuit of them.

Because we need to work towards global security.

Actually I’m not: I don’t think it’s feasible.

Because the rise of terrorist groups makes this essential.

John : Borrowing to buy a house ought to be as simple a
transaction as borrowing to buy a car; don’t you agree?
Robin : Yes, I do. Why do you ask?
John : —
Robin : I guess it is because the sums are much much bigger, and the period of repayment is longer.

Because I am interested in how banks fix mortgage rates.

In fact, interest rates have been rising since early summer.

But the government has introduced new tax subsidies for home loans, and that’s a good thing.

Because it’s not. There’s far more paperwork required, and it’s altogether much more
complicated.

I think it’s important. Governments should pay more attention to housing finance.

Helen : —
Chris : I believe so. I do know they’ve put in orders for 51 new planes for next year.

Yes, I remember reading something about it; but it’s a long time ago now.

Well, that’s certainly good news. Will they be flying further afield?

The security controls you have to go through at airports make air travel quite objectionable.

That sounds reasonable. So many people continue to avoid travelling by air.

Airports are already for too big, don’t you agree?

so I’m saving it up till I’ve got a prolonged period of leisure time.
Jennifer : —
Karen : No, only with the ones I expect to be really good.

I read a review of it only the other day and it certainly does sound fascinating!

Quite right too! What else do you plan to do?

Do you do that with all the boks you buy?

Goya is not one of my favourite artists, but that book helped me to appreciate him a lot more.

You’ll find the book throws a great deal of light on his The Disasters of War.

I don’t know. But there’s now a prize for economics.

I really don’t know. I used to think it was the Swedish National Bank.

Do you know, I’d never thought about it!

The cash awards are quite high, so it’s an interesting question.

Mostly from the interest on the Nobel endowment fund.

Yes do. Aren’t you feeling cold?

Clare : —
Greg : No, it isn’t. Any shop that sells watches will do the job for you. It only takes a couple of
minutes.

I’m quite sure you could if you tried.

The last time it needed changing my father did it for me.

I don’t even know if this battery is the right size.

Where will I find an expert? It sounds so complicated!

researched and sensitively presented!
Mary : So did I. Until the end of the film!

I don’t know. I got bored and turned the TV off.

Oh! The end was a terrible let down. It turned out that there was no historical basis for anything
at all!

As you’d expect, it ended with his death; and really, I felt sorry for him.

The trouble is I missed the beginning, and that might have helped me understand the end
better.

Throughout the film, excitement was given preference over historical fact.

Australia’s most prolific diamond mine is the Argyll one.

Did you know that blue ones are rarer than pink?

Did you realize that of the diamonds mined only a very small percent are of jewellery grade?

Did you know that colour in a diamond is due to a slight fault occurring in its development?

what they are.

I don’t think Dubai’s success will continue.

Of course, they are all very grateful to the Crown Prince.

Does that mean that when the leader goes the country will have hard times?

I think vision and energy would be a better choice.

Coal that has been “aged” gives out more heat and fewer gases.

This specific chapter is on the evolution of patterns on the wings of butterflies.

For instance, the markings that resemble eyes on butterflies may help them startle predators

This has to do with genetics. One should try to learn more about it.

This book gives examples of all of this and more.

No, but did you know that he wasn’t really respected by the public during his own lifetime? It

I’m planning to see all of them. In fact, I’ve already bought a season ticket.

Do you know, Shakespeare’s really not my favourite thing.

of the major rivers in the country.

Most comprehensively prepared. It is very upsetting to know how endangered most of the
nation’s rivers are.

Indeed, as you have just suggested, dams and canals can be harmful to fish and wildlife
populations.

As I recall from previous reports, coal mining operations fill streams with coal and dirt.

It has always been admitted that the use of rivers as a water supply for domestic and industrial
needs causes much depletion.

Doctor : Good to see you again. What’s the problem this time?
Patient : Upon awakening, I feel pain and tightness on the sides of my face.
Doctor : _____
Patient : I hope it’s not serious and can be treated easily.

Sleeping pills may be used occasionally to help people who have trouble sleeping because of
pain.

How interesting! I have always stated that people can take steps to break the habit of tooth
grinding.

I see. Generally, a case like these results from muscle spasms brought on by repeated muscle or
tooth clenching and tooth grinding.

Of course, treatment is needed when a person has jaw pain or trouble moving his jaw.

People with this condition need to suppress yawns, cut food into small pieces, and eat food
that’s easy to chew.

Frank : To learn a little bit about how to cope with physical allergies, I’ve done some reading.
Celia : Tell me in simple terms what you have learned.
Frank : _____
Celia : Sounds very sensible, doesn’t it?

Surely you are aware that photosensitivity, which is an allergy, may also result from concurrent
use of certain drugs or substances applied to the skin.

My suggestion is that people who are very sensitive to sunlight should use sunscreens and
minimize sun exposure.

As far as I am concerned, itching, asthma, or nasal stuffiness are among the most common
symptoms of physical allergy.

The common point everyone agrees on is that the best way to deal with any physical allergy is
to prevent it by avoiding whatever tends to cause it.

As everybody knows, a physical allergy is a condition in which allergic symptoms develop in

response to a physical stimulus.

Jane : - The point is made in this article that we need a reliable source of electricity to meet our
needs in the 21st century.
Larry : But we also need clean air.
Jane : _____
Larry : So you mean that nuclear power plants don’t pollute the air. Right?

Well, with nuclear energy, we can have both.

Why not? Nuclear energy already generates more than 20 per cent of America’s electricity.

Year by year there is a growing need for more energy nationwide.

In other words, the development of new energy sources is very important to America’s energy
future.

I am afraid the world is fast heading towards a huge environmental disaster.

Charles : Aircraft manufacturers are doing their best to build ever more efficient, more reliable, less
polluting, quieter planes.
Colleague : Yes, but there is a long way before absolute reliability can be achieved!
Charles : _____
Colleague : There’s no doubt about that. Yet every effort must be made for ultimate reliability.

Let me stress once again that, as the economy develops and per capita income rises, per capita
travel rises even faster.

Considered in technical terms, there have been few dramatic changes in large-aircraft design
since the 1960s.

It is a fact that, by the early 1940s, airplanes had made it possible to cross the Atlantic in one
long day of travel.

On the other hand, in the 1960s, touring families and students could fly from the US to Europe
on overnight charter flights.

Agreed. However, despite occasional horrific crashes, modern airliners are about the safest
means of travel ever devised.

Kate : That’s what I’ve read in a booklet on China.
Lucy : _____
Kate : A varied topography indeed! Besides, the Yangtze River is the third-longest river in the world.

The principal mountain ranges are the Tien Shan, the Kunlun chain, and the Trans- Himalaya.

Moreover, from the map one can see that the greater part of the country is mountainous, and
the Gobi Desert lies in the North.

I understand it has three great river systems: the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and the Pearl
River.

The earliest recorded human settlements have been discovered in the Huang Ho basin.

As you know, in the southwest is Tibet, which China annexed in 1950.

Ralph : I’ve learned that there are many details to learn about the maintenance of home aquariums.
Dick : _____
Ralph : At first glance, it’s true. But do you know that even the decorative materials used in
aquariums should be placed properly? Otherwise, for example, they may obstruct the filter pipes.
Dick : Really? I hadn’t thought of that before.

Yes. For example, fish don’t disrupt the cleanliness of the home with messy fur or feathers.

Right; routine maintenance only requires a few minutes of your attention daily, supplemented
by an hour or so once a week.

Oh, are there? I’ve always thought that looking after an aquarium is very easy.

Anyone knows that keeping an aquarium is expensive.

In fact, I am as interested as you are in aquariums.

Robert : No, I didn’t. I wonder what other tenors thought of this.
Chris : _____
Robert : In which case, I suppose opera fans are also accepting the situation.

Well, at first they were not in favour of it, but now they are doing the same thing themselves!

It was at least 20 years ago that his record company asked him to make this album.

As far as I know, it was the song “Caruso” that made him do it.

He asked three well-known singers to join him, but for some reason they said no.

I don’t know. Presumably, they were annoyed.

Lee : - Do you know about the Iron Age hair gel found on the head of a 2,300-year-old body
discovered in Ireland?
Ron : - Yes. I read that the body was found with its hair gelled unusually high above the head. Also,
chemical analysis by scientists shows that the hair gel was made of a vegetable oil mixed with a resin
probably imported from France or Spain.
Lee : _____
Ron : Well, the body has been preserved incredibly well in a peat bog because the bacteria that
decompose flesh can’t survive in that oxygen free environment. Even fingerprints can be seen.

I can say that it’s a bit like a Mohican style. Do you know what it is made of?

It seems our ancestors were not so primitive that they didn’t like to take care of themselves.

I think this indicates he was a wealthy member of Irish society; do you agree?

Oh, that’s interesting. But how do they know so much about the gel and the body?

These findings must be important. But what can we learn from them?

in a new and fresh way.

Which of the great philosophers are you going to study?

But are you enjoying it?

Well, I hope you’re finding it interesting!

I might take the course next year.

What I look for is flight safety.

strong.
Jane : I see. I didn’t know that.

As far as I know, there are chain zips, coil zips and concealed zips. Right?

What about coil zips? I’ve read something about them; they are lighter and synthetic.

Really? Can you give me an example and say where it can be used?

Well, some are ideal for fine fabrics and others are for stronger ones.

Does that mean that some of them break easily?

Not yet. I don’t go to such exhibitions till they’ve been going for some time.

I was there at the opening. What about you?

Yes. I was surprised at how few large paintings there were.

Mike : That’s to be expected. After all, Iran is the second-largest producer of oil in OPEC.

Well, Iran’s nuclear aims seem to have increased international tension.

To my surprise, 50% of Iran’s revenue comes from its oil exports.

Clearly, the global economy is suffering heavily from the current US economic crisis.

Just one point: every day, the world spends around $5.5 billion at current price levels on crude
oil purchases.

It seems that China, India, and Japan have become the primary markets for the Middle East’s oil
and gas.

Steve : _____
Ken : So, it seems that the NATO-led attempts to bring peace to this country have already failed.

You know that the aims of the NATO intervention in this country have been clearly defined.

Indeed, northern Afghanistan remains reasonably peaceful and open to trade.

Sure, but a large part of the country, especially the troublesome southern parts, are controlled
by rebel groups.

In fact, for this country to achieve peace and security, there is an urgent need for more foreign
involvement.

Actually, several nations have helped to build roads, bridges, and other important facilities.

of the population lives below the poverty line, defined by the World Bank as earning less than $2 per
day.
Tony : Unbelievable. Despite record oil profits for those countries?
Tim : _____
Tony : In that case, one can say that Arab governments have been negligent of their social
responsibility.

Yes, indeed. In fact, this clearly shows that the current oil boom has not benefited the average
Arab citizen at all.

It is true that higher oil prices allow governments to avoid making difficult decisions.

Moreover, massive infrastructure and housing projects have been undertaken.

So far, open economies have done much beter than the closed ones.

For instance, in the Gulf states, rising real estate prices have pushed up rents and housing costs.

EU?
Brian : In the short term, tensions will be high, but before long things will settle down smoothly
again.
Liz : How can you be so positive?
Brian : _____

Russia’s decision last year to reduce gas supplies to Europe was based on economic
considerations rather than on any political aim.

Russia has always shown a keen interest in European politics and often tries to influence it to its
own advantage.

The response of France has been to construct several new nuclear power stations.

If we’re to live side by side, there must be a good measure of trust.

Very simple. Russia needs European goods and technology as much as Europe needs Russian
gas.

Antony : How interesting! Anything particularly drawing your attention?
Richard : It is claimed by some linguists that the early Egyptian language might represent the survival
of a “root” language from which the other languages of the Afro-Asiatic group evolved in the past.
Antony : _____

Possible. In fact, the language of the ancient Egyptians has for long been a matter of debate
among linguists.

Actually, as you may remember, the first known permanent settlement in Egypt dates back to
approximately 4750 B.C.

You know that the patterns of development in ancient Egypt differed greatly from those of the
Sumerians in Mesopotamia.

It is true that, due to the Nile, ancient Egypt was able to forge a cultural and political unity.

You must recall that the Egyptian system of pictographic writing, called hieroglyphs, has always
fascinated modern scholars.

Judy : What do you know about John Stuart Mill?
Tom : As far as I can recall, he was the most committed and influential defender of personal liberty in
Victorian Britain in the 19th century.
Judy : _____
Tom : Indeed, he was. He wrote many essays on women’s political rights.

Agreed. In his On Liberty, he defended individual freedom in the face of the state and “the
tyranny of the majority.”

I know his On Liberty became one of the defining texts of Western liberalism.

He strongly argued that human freedom was essential to social progress.

Yet, for me, more importantly, he was a dedicated supporter of suffrage for women.

Historically, the Reform Bill of 1867 in Britain marked the high point of British liberalism.

John : By the way, can you tell me what the expression “the scramble for Africa” means?
Harry : Oh, I thought you knew it, since you are seriously interested in the history of Africa.
John : _____
Harry : Well, it is about the colonization of Africa. It indicates the scope and speed with which the
major European powers, excited by stories of rubber forests and rich diamond mines, conquered and
colonized Africa in the 19th century.

For instance, I know that in 1884 a conference, attended by the representatives of the European
colonial powers, was held in Berlin to settle the matter of control over the Congo River basin.

It has been pointed out that by the 1830s the French had created a general government of their
possessions in Algeria.

I am afraid I don’t. I came across it in an article I was reading yesterday. There was no
explanation given.

Actually, the colonial powers’ partition of Africa in the 19th century was the most striking
instance of European imperialism.

According to some eyewitness reports, in the colonies, Africans worked in appalling conditions,
with no medicine or sanitation and too little food.

Susan : I don’t know where to start. I think one obvious reason is improved standards of health care.

Thank you so much. I’ll take your advice and do some research on the subject.

Exactly. You can perhaps outline some of them for me.

I believe a new type of demographic crisis different from this confronts Western governments.

One can definitely see that globalization has a serious impact on the world’s population.

Especially Asia’s population as a whole has increased nearly four times over since 1900.

Ares : I suggest you focus on a specific topic rather than giving a general account.
Harriet : _____
Ares : So, your article will, I am sure, arouse a great deal of interest in academic and political circles.

Right. I will demonstrate how the Cold War has given way to more complex global relations.

You know the Eastern European revolutions of 1989 brought about the collapse of the Soviet
Union.

Especially the Soviet Union’s increasingly severe domestic problems led to mounting protests in
Russia in 1991.

Everyone knows that the Iron Curtain had established one of the most rigid borders in European
history.

In my opinion, since the end of the Cold War, adapting to change has been difficult throughout
Eastern Europe.

Isabel : _____
Fred : Well, we know from history that, in education, Byzantine schools based their instruction on
classical Greek literature.

In fact, Byzantine achievements in art and architecture have always been admired.

Evidently, Byzantine scholars were very interested in the politics of ancient Greece.

As it has been argued by most historians, religion dominated Byzantine life.

One can point out that inventiveness was highly prized in Byzantine culture.

It gives a full account of the Byzantine interest in classical Greek literature.

human-related source.

Is it true that some American building companies use inorganic refuse such as metals in
roadbeds and heavy construction?

Do you mean engineers have developed an efficient way of dealing with trash?

What do you mean exactly? You seem to be implying something.

America produces more trash than any other country in the world, doesn’t it?

Don’t you think such a huge volume of trash can be processed to produce electricity?

world’s poorest nations.
 Moreover, travel enriches one’s life. Don’t you agree?

Actually, it fuels economic growth, doesn’t it?

Do you believe that travelling broadens our experience of the world?

Furthermore, tourism enables people to explore other cultures and geographies. Right?

Yes, true. Yet, worldwide mobility because of tourism has its drawbacks. Do you agree?

Tony: You mean the terrible plague that devastated Europe in the 14th century?
Mary: _____
Tony: Also throughout villages, towns and cities. As a result, the population of Europe was cut nearly
in half.

Right. I didn’t know that its effects were worst in confined places like hospitals, prisons, and
monasteries.
 According to a contemporary account, the city of Florence lost 96,000 people between March
and October of 1348.

European men and women were convinced that the plague had been sent as a divine
punishment.

However, as one learns from the article, the plague did not last long, but actually began to
dissipate by 1351.

I feel that more study must be made of the social and political impact the plague had on
medieval Europe in general.

Malcolm: I believe a great deal of research needs to be made of Martin Luther King and his ideas.
Jacob: I fully agree with you, since he was the preeminent figure in the civil rights movements started
by blacks in the United States during the 1960s.
Malcolm: _____
Jacob: On the contrary. Fundamentally, he aspired to a fully integrated nation of all the Americans.

Before King, various civil rights groups in America had started to organize boycotts and
demonstrations to condemn racial discrimination against blacks in all walks of life.

Unfortunately, his inspiring career as a defender of civil rights in America was tragically ended
by assassination in 1968.

In fact, civil rights laws passed under President Lyndon B. Johnson in the 1960s did bring
American blacks some measure of equality with regard to voting rights.

Yes, of course. Yet, he’s been accused of seeking complete independence from white society.

As you know, the civil rights movements of the 1960s in America clearly showed the chasm
between the egalitarian promises of American democracy and the real inequalities at the core of
American social and political life.

Stanley: Alright, I will try. Beginning in the 1990s, increasingly sophisticated computers have brought
people into instant communication over the internet with each other across continents in new
cultural and political settings, and this has had a great impact on the everyday lives of men and
women around the world.

In other words, are you suggesting that advances in electronic technologies have provided new
worldwide platforms and connections for commercial interests?

Do you mean the wide-ranging effects of information technologies on political struggles around
the globe?

Are you saying that electronic systems and devices designed to create, store and share
information have become more powerful and accessible?

Are you claiming that embattled ethnic minorities have found worldwide audiences through on-

What does that exactly mean? Can you be more specific?

John: Good morning, Christine. By the way, have you seen this article on North Korea?
Christine: I’ve just come to the office. You know mornings are always a rush. Tell me what the main
argument is.
John: _____
Christine: Besides that, there may also be other hidden reasons such as the provision of nuclear
weapons to international terrorist groups.

Let me tell you this: historically, at the end of World War II, the Soviet Union occupied the
northern part of the Korean peninsula, while the Americans held the south.

You know that, after the loss in 1991 of Soviet patronage, the isolated North Korean
government faced a very serious economic disaster, with verified reports of local starvation in some
regions of the country.

It emphasizes that the North Korean government has pursued the development of a nuclear
arsenal not for self-defence, but as a bargaining chip against Japan and the United States.

As you may recall, in June 1950, the communist North Korean troops attacked across the border
that divided the Korean peninsula and crushed resistance in the south.

Agreed. Yet Japan and the Western states have always feared that North Korea may be secretly
helping Iran and other rogue states to develop nuclear weapons.

Terence: It is a fact that the overseas maritime explorations in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth
centuries improved our knowledge of geography tremendously.
Jim: Well, we all know it. Why do you bring it up?
Terence: _____
Jim: Naturally, the same view was held by the Church and also the crusaders.

Ancient geographers divided the earth into five climatic zones that are still recognized today.

Actually, in antiquity, geography owed most of its development to the Hellenistic astronomer
Eratosthenes.

The amazing thing is that, by means of sundials placed some hundreds of miles apart, the
astronomer Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the earth.

For the simple reason that the world was understood differently and wrongly in the Middle
Ages. For instance, medieval geographers regarded Jerusalem as the centre of the earth.

In fact, it was the Hellenistic astronomer and geographer Eratosthenes that first suggested the
possibility of reaching eastern Asia by sailing west.

George: Recently I have been much interested in the social history of the marketplace in medieval
England, on which I plan to write a book.
Juliet: The social history of the marketplace? It is rather a dull subject, isn’t it?
George: _____
Juliet: Really? Then I take back what I’ve just said. I’ll be keenly interested in what you write about it.

Well, in a way, yes. In the past and today, the marketplace was just a site for the buying and
selling of commodities.

On the contrary. In fact, the heart of the matter is that the marketplace served as a place to
socialize and a forum for interaction among people from all walks of life.

At first glance, it would seem that there are many differences between the marketplaces of the
past and the marketplaces of today.

Unfortunately, the stock and commodities exchanges and malls have none of the spirit of the
traditional marketplace.

Exactly. It is hard to define the purpose and goal of the marketplace not only in England but also
in the rest of Europe.

Fred: I have been doing some research for a paper on the emergence of fascism in Italy. There is a
vast amount of material that I have to consult. A tough job.
Colleague: I agree. Not an easy one. You know, like many European nations, Italy emerged from
World War I at a heavy cost, but surely there were various causes for the rise of fascism in the
country.
Fred: _____
Colleague: I am sure, as I gather from what you are saying, your paper will provide us with a full
account of how Italy turned to fascism.

Under Mussolini, the Italian economy was placed under the management of twenty-two
corporations, each responsible for a major industrial enterprise.

In fact, I will mainly focus on how Italy was divided into a prosperous industrialized north and a
poor agrarian south.

To tell you the truth, World War I had cost Italy nearly seven hundred thousand lives and over
$15 billion.

In my opinion, you are mistaken when you claim that the Italian fascist movement depended
heavily on Mussolini’s leadership.

Undoubtedly. Among them can be mentioned political corruption, weaknesses of parliamentary

democracy, high inflation, rising unemployment, and nationwide strikes.

Harry: Today, at the conference, two professors were involved in a fierce debate about the Marshall
Plan. They really got on each other’s nerves.
Janet: Sorry, dear. I know nothing about the Marshall Plan. You must first tell me about it.
Harry: _____
Janet: I see. Since it was certainly to the benefit of Europe, I can’t understand why the two professors
should quarrel about it.

As far as I am concerned, among the most striking aspects of World War II’s aftermath was the
speed with which Germany was reintegrated into Europe.

Indeed, the United States countered the expansion of Soviet power and kept communist
movements based in Europe.

It was an American programme that started in 1948 and provided $13 billion in aid for the
industrial redevelopment and economic recovery of Europe.

The American government forced certain terms on the countries participating in the Marshall
Plan such as decontrol of prices, restraints on wages, and balanced budgets.

On the other hand, the Soviets viewed the Marshall Plan as the United States’ deliberate
intervention in Europe’s affairs and, therefore, strongly objected to it.
