On the lower right side of the picture, there is a tall guy with a hat and sunglasses.

He is pulling his luggage and looking at the camera.

Bdside him, two women are passing in the other direction.

One of them has short brown curly hair and is carrying her bag on her shoulder.

The other woman is wearing a black skirt and looking at a historical building.

In front of the building that looks like a museum, there are some bushes and postes.

On the right side of the picture, a traffic light and a parking sign are attached to a street light.

It seems like people are enjoying the nice weather outside.

You have agreed to participate in a telephone interview about cash.

It depends on the price of the product I am buying at the time.

I usually use cash when I buy cheap products like canned coffee, and I use a credit card for expensive items.



Q5

Yesterday, after taking my TOEIC speaking class, I was very hungry.

So, I went to the fast food restaurant to have a hamburger.

I bought the food with cash.



Q6

What are some advangtages of using cash?

There are many advantages of using cash.

When I use cash, it's easy to keep track of money and not spend more than I actually have.

Also, I sometimes get discounts when I purchase products with cash becasue some stores prefer to be paid in cash rather than by credit card.

Moreover, cash is acceptable almost everywhere.

A credit card is sometimes unacceptable at some places such as traditional markets and street vendors.

Q10

In your response, be sure to

show that your recognize the problem, and propose a way of dealing with the problem.



Hi, Laura. This is Yvette from the design team.

I have a problem that I want to bring to your attention.

It's about the silk that we have decided to use for the next spring and summer collections.

We finished the designs and selected beautifully dyed silk from India.

When I first checked with our regular fabric company to see if they could provide enough silk for the collection on time, there seemed to be no problem.

But I just got a call from them this morning, saying that there is a problem with the dye that they are using, so only about half of what we asked for would be shipped on time whereas the other half can only be shipped about three weeks later.

They also mentioned a different type of silk which is very similar in color but a bit different in texture, so I asked for a sample, which should arrive this afternoon.

I'm very worried about this because we have to prepare everything for the show, but I don't want the material to ruin the designs that we put so much thought and effort into making.

Since you are the one in charge.

I want to get some advice from you about how to handle this situation.

Please call me back as soon as possible at extension 512. Thanks!



Hello, Yvette. this is Laura returning your call.

I feel bad about the problem we are having since I've been looking forward to seeing the new collections made of the beautiful silk we spent so much time selecting.

From what I understand, it seems that we will not have enough silk for the fashion show.

so we will either have to choose an alternative or come up with a new solution.

Since you said that the new sample is on the way, please bring it to my office when it arrives so that I can talk about it with you in person.

If worse comes to worst, and the new silk is not suitable for our designs, we will have to find another supplier to provide us enough silk for the collection.

I have a list of three reliable fabric suppliers, so I'll call them right away to see if they presently have enough silk.

We will find a way to solve the problem.

so don't worry too much about it.

I hope it all works out well, and I'll see you at the office in a few hours. Thanks.

Q11

Do you agree with the following statement?

"Politicians these days are more concerned about their reputation than they were in the past."



I agreed that politicians these days are more concerned about their reputation than they were in past.

There are some reasons to support my opinion.

First, politicians have always been concerned about their public image because it directly affects the votes they get at the elections.

Since more and more people get interested in politics and study about it more these days.

the politician's reputation has a bigger influence on the votes.

So, if they don't keep a good reputation, it's hard to be reelected.

Second, with the development of technology, rumors go around quicker than the past.

When something happens, it often gets exaggerated which makes the situation worse.

Sometimes the politicians don't even get a chance to make an excuse about it and just lose their reputation.

In conclustion, the politicians nowadays are more worried about their reputation than the past.
