23. I’m working in Chicago. I take people around the city and show them all the places of interest in
town, the tall buildings, the lake, the art museum,…. The best part is meeting interesting people from
all over the world. Most of the people on the tours are from Central and South America, so I get to
practice my Spanish.

A B C

24. I managed to get a job at a hotel. I’m working at the front desk. The hotel is usually pretty busy,
so sometimes it’s really stressful. I don’t like that. The best part is that a lot of celebrities stay at our
hotel. I’ve met some very famous people! To do this job well, it’s important to have good listening
skills. I have to find out exactly what each person wants, and then give it to them right away.

A B C

25. I always take mine to this garage on Market Street. It takes a long time to get there from my
house, but it’s worth the trip. It’s the best repair shop in the city. The mechanics do great work, and
they never try to charge you too much. In fact, the prices are great—about half the price of the other
places in town.
 A B C

26. I get almost all of my shirts there. All of their stuff looks great and fits perfectly. It’s really good
quality, too. They also have a lot of different styles and colors to choose from. The displays are a
problem, though. They aren’t organized well, so it takes a long time to find the size you want.

A B C

27. This flat-screen TV works great if you take care of it properly. The image is sharp and the color is
perfect. It’s really convenient because you can hang it on the wall—not like those old clunky TVs
that were so big and boxy and took up half of the living room. Direct sunlight is not good for it, so
you shouldn’t put it near a window.

A B C

28. This will get your dishes nice and clean. It’s very powerful, so you don’t have to rinse anything
before you wash it. That’s the best feature. Now, remember, you shouldn’t put too much soap into it.
If you use too much soap, your dishes will come out sticky.

A B C
29. I love my apartment. I wish I could afford to stay here. The location is perfect. It has a great view
of the park, and I love being able to step outside and walk under the trees. The problem is the rent.
It’s just too high now, so I can’t stay.

A B C

30. What do you think of it? I really need it for work. These days we have to dress up at the office, so
I can’t just wear a shirt and tie. It will keep me warm in the winter. And I like the way it buttons up
the front. It was on sale for $75—not bad for something that’s imported from England. What did he
buy?
