Question No. 14
W: Spring is here. Let’s get the vegetable garden started. I love home-grown tomatoes.
M: It’s still too cold for tomatoes, but we can plant some cucumbers.
W: I don’t particularly care for cucumbers.
M: Spinach grows really fast. Why don’t we plant that first?
W: Good idea. I’ll prepare the soil.
Question No. 15
M: Excuse me. Where can I find Natsume Soseki?
W: He’s in the Fiction section.
M: I looked over there already, but I couldn’t find his books.
W: Which book are you looking for?
M: I Am a Cat.
W: OK. Let me look it up in the database first to see if we have it.
Question No. 16
M: What is your oral presentation topic?
W: Japanese anime.
M: Remember, the teacher said we should talk about something historical.
W: I think the export of Japanese pop culture is worth looking into.
M: Well, I doubt she’ll accept it. It’s too recent.
W: I’d rather not change it anyway.
M: You’re taking a chance.
W: Yeah, I know.
Questions No. 17 to 19
W: What are you doing?
M: I’m filling out an entry form to run in this year’s ultra marathon in Morocco.
W: What’s that?
M: It’s a six-stage endurance footrace almost 250 kilometers long. Here, look.
W: Oh, I see. Each stage is a different distance. In the fifth stage, you run a regular marathon, right? It’s 42 kilometers.
M: Uh-huh. And the hardest part is before that ― more than twice the distance of the third stage.
W: That’s tough.
M: Yeah, but I’m most worried about Stages 2 and 3, which are run over desert sand for a total of 72 kilometers.
W: It looks like the first and last stages are shorter than the others so you can warm up at the beginning, and take it easy at the end.
M: That’s right. The organizers thought of everything.
W: Well, good luck and be careful.
