Truly, the soup was a masterpiece, but for me, it is surpassed by the great excellence of this chicken.
0%
Your soup was wonderful, but I enjoyed the chicken very much too. May I ask you where I could find the recipe?
100%
It's OK, thank you very much.
0%
I'm afraid we don't have that in my country and I thought it was not only strange, but horrible.
Q.4.
Later in the meal they are talking about a hobby (a pastime, e.g. some kind of sport) that they all share. They ask you what you feel about it, and you say: ...
0%
I've never tried that in fact, but it sounds very interesting; and yes, I think I'd like to 'have a go' if I had the chance.
0%
I'm sorry, but that doesn't sound like the kind of thing I enjoy at all.
0%
I wouldn't mind trying it, but I can't say I'm really bothered.
0%
That sounds like a really stupid way to waste your time and money.
Q.5.
They suggest that you might like to join them, doing this same hobby (whatever it is!) in a few days' time, at the weekend. You reply: ...
0%
Saturday afternoon is really inconvenient for me. What a silly idea!
0%
I suppose I could come along on Saturday, but how can you expect me to travel by myself?

That sounds quite fun, but I'm not sure whether I'm free on Saturday.

What a splendid idea! Yes, I'd love to come. Thank you very much for the suggestion.

It is now Saturday afternoon and you have spent a few hours trying out the new hobby with your friends. They ask you how you have enjoyed it. You say: ...
0%
Well, there were some good moments and some bad moments, but I'm glad I tried it!
0%
I can't understand why you people like doing this.
0%
I've really, really enjoyed myself ~ it was awesome ~ and I'm so, so grateful to you all for giving me this chance.
0%
What an absurd activity!
Q.7.
Your new friends now ask you whether you would like to go with them to a major event, in connection with this activity: such as a professional match (or other performance) at regional level. It is happening in a few more weeks' time: they are offering to take you as a guest and pay for your ticket. You reply : ...
0%
No thanks, I think I'm busy that day, or maybe I'll have gone home by then.
0%
That's very kind of you, but I shall need to check my diary.
0%
What a wonderful idea! I'd be really delighted to come, if you're quite sure ...
0%
Many blessings be upon you for this your inestimable generosity.
Q.8.
After the big event, your friends suggest moving on to visit a place where you know you should not go, or where you might feel uncomfortable (a casino perhaps, or somewhere that there might be alcohol or drugs, or some other activity that you don't believe in or approve of). What can you say politely, at this point?
0%
No, no , no, please no, anything else but that ... that's horrible and disgusting.
0%
I'm very sorry, but I can't go in there with you. It's something that I never do; I would not be comfortable.
0%
What, going in there? You must be joking! I'd never do that sort of thing! Leave me out of this!
0%
This is very kind of you, I'm sure; but I really can't go in, I'm afraid. I hope you'll understand if I wait for you outside.
Q.9.
You meet this group of friends one final time before you travel back home to your own country. Towards the end of your time together, what do you say to them?

I'd like to thank you all very much for being so kind and generous. I hope we'll keep in contact, and if ever you're coming to my country, please let me know beforehand so we can try and meet up again.

Nice to hear from you, but I am busy all that week.

Wonderful news that you are coming this way! I'd be really happy to show you our capital city and the lakes and mountains.

We could perhaps put you in the spare bedroom, I suppose. How many nights would you be here?

You can't come and stay here; I'm sorry, but it's as simple as that.
