Test B

A Listen to the people talking. Check the correct answers.

CHRIS: You know, Natalie, I earned a lot last year. Now I have all
this money in the bank, and I don’t know what to do with it.
Do you have any ideas?
NATALIE: Maybe you should just leave it in the bank for now.
Are you going to buy anything soon, like a boat or a
vacation home?
CHRIS: Not really. I have everything I need right now.
NATALIE: Then it might be a good idea to talk with someone in
financial services. You might get some suggestions that way.
CHRIS: I’ve already talked to my accountant. He said I should
invest it so I can make more money. The trouble is, I don’t
know anything about investments.
NATALIE: Well, why don’t you join an investment club? You
know, one of those clubs where people meet once a month, do
research, and buy things together. I know someone who
joined, and it helped him a lot. He said he learned a lot about
investments from other people in the group.
CHRIS: Hmm. That’s not a bad idea. Do you know where I can
find out more about these clubs?

B Listen to the people talking. Check the correct answers.

GRETA: Connor, I wonder what’s wrong with Melissa. She’s
usually in such a good mood at work, but she’s been really
depressed the last couple of days.
CONNOR: You know, Greta, she may have broken up with her
boyfriend – they’re always breaking up and then getting back
together again.
GRETA: That can’t be it. She hasn’t seen him for months.
CONNOR: Oh, I didn’t know that. Maybe it’s this new project
she’s working on. I know she’s had some problems with it.
GRETA: I don’t think it could be that, either. We were talking
about the project just yesterday, and she said it was going fine.
CONNOR: Well, I don’t know, then. Maybe we should just ask her.
You know, if something has happened to her family, or
anything, maybe there’s something we could do to help.
GRETA: You’re right, Connor. I’ll talk to her about it.
