　　Part B: Listening Comprehension

　　Questions 1 to 5

　　【原文】

　　M: I am thinking of learning Italian. Are you familiar with the language? Don’t you speak Italian? I thought you’ve learned Italian before.

　　W: Well, I did. I used to go to adult classes to do Italian in my spare time. And I loved it, it was wonderful and I really enjoyed learning it.

　　M: Is it easy?

　　W: Well, it’s quite easy, because I think particularly in Italian, they have one word that means an awful lot. I mean many things or ideas. But the thing is that I’ve forgotten an awful lot because I haven’t…I mean I used to go to Italy quite a lot, and I haven’t been there for a long time. And of course, if I’m there again, I’ll find I’ll pick it up really quickly.

　　M: So you find it easier actually in the country?

　　W: Oh much easier. I mean I have kind of worked there very briefly, but well for a couple of months. By the time I came back, I was wonder…I mean I was really excellent.

　　M: The thing is that I want to get to know the language, to be able to speak it quite well first, so that I don’t kind of make a fool of myself when I get out there, because I don’t particularly like making mistakes.

　　W: Oh, you shouldn’t worry about making mistakes. That’s ridiculous.

　　M: No, I suppose not really. I should be a bit more adventurous really.

　　W: Well, and also I tell you it’s completely different when you are there. I mean when you hear people talking naturally, and the right sort of speed, and everything. It sounds so different. And also when you have to, when you have to do things. You know, if you go to a shop, you have to buy something and you have to communicate, so you just do it. I mean you just learn how to do it.

　　M: And what about vocabulary and these things? Do you…If there are words you don’t know, I mean, how do you look them up and translate back to them?

　　W: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I used to have a wonderful time. I used to always go back and get really frustrated by something I wanted to say and then go home, look it up and work out how to say it. And I’ll be really pleased with myself that I’d come up with the phrase that, you know, somebody might understand.

　　M: When you learned, did you have…? Was it one onto one? Did you have a teacher? Or just you or another person in the class?

　　W: Oh, no, no…it’s a big class.

　　M; So you all used to do conversation with each other?

　　W: Yes, I mean…Should you kind of take…

　　M: I think I also prefer a big class.

　　W: Yes, also I mean, it can be a great fun. I mean if there’s sort of a nice bunch in the class and everything, it can be very funny. And also when you get it wrong, it’s a hoot. I mean, and you get homework. I mean it’s a bit like going back to school….but it’s some…no, no…it’s a great fun. And I used to do things like you’d go to an Italian restaurant, say, and you’d all have to speak, order your food in Italian or do or cook a meal or something. So it wasn’t just sort of sitting behind the desk, you know, repeating the grammar.

　　M: Yes, that’s the way to do it. Yes.

　　W: Oh, it’s lovely, lovely. I think you should do it.

　　M: I will.

　　W: Definitely.
