1. Listening. Could I ask a favor?

B. Now listen to the complete conversations. Check your answers, and listen to find out if each person agrees to the request. Check the boxes.

1. Oh,I can’t find my hair dryer.

Here, you can take mine. How long are you staying with your parents?

Um, three days.

Gosh, three days? You have a lot of stuff!

I know. Woman 2 Anyway, I’m going to go to the mall…

Oh, wait. I need something to read on the train. It’s a three-hour trip. Can you get me a magazine or something?

Well, actually, I’m going to go see a movie, too, and you’re leaving soon, right?

Yeah. Never mind. I can get one at the station. Don’t worry about it.

1. Why don’t we go for a walk? I’m tired of studying.

We could, I guess. But I think it’s going to rain.

Well, we can take an umbrella, Let’s just go to the coffee shop and get a hamburger or something.

OK. Are you ready right now?

Yeah. Oh, wait, where’s my wallet? I can’t find it.

I don’t know. Oh, don’t worry. Let’s just go before it rains.

OK, well, um, do you mind if I borrow some money?

Again! No, it’s OK. I have enough for both of us.

OK. Thanks! Oh, I hope it doesn’t rain.

1. What are you doing?

Making a scrapbook with my college photos.

A scrapbook? What’s that?

It’s like a photo album. You know, you put photos and cards and tickets and stuff in it.

It’s like a book of memories.

Oh, OK. My mother made me a baby book like that with old black-and-white photos.

Oh, yeah. I had one, too, but I lost mine.

You’re making a mess!

Yeah, I guess I am. There are bits of paper all over the coffee table. Hey, would you mind getting me the wastebasket?

OK. Hold on. There you go. Uh, Melissa, is that a photo stuck on your leg?

1. Are you going out tonight?

Yeah. And I’m running late. Are you going to use the shower, or can I take a shower first?

Sure. Go right ahead. I can take one later.

I’m going out with some guys from work. Oh, no, I don’t have any clean clothes. I didn’t do any laundry this weekend. Do you mind if I borrow one of your shirts?

Well, actually, I don’t have any clean shirts, either. And anyway, last time you borrowed a shirt, you got spaghetti sauce all over it!
