of this event compared to other types of
wrestling. So you say informatively: ----

more challenging as it increases slipperiness.
B) As you know, there are many wrestling styles,

visit the archaeology museum, but it is closed
due to renovations. He seems disappointed
and asks you to suggest an alternative museum
nearby. So you show him the available one in

do here. You should explore the city on your
own.

you’ll have to wait until the attraction reopens
to visit it.
C) I think you can still try to visit the museum
anyway; maybe the renovations have come to
an end.

walk from here. You may enjoy their pieces of
local history.
E) Well, how about a guided bus tour around
the city instead? You can easily visit all the
landmarks.

has applied for a language programme in

some concerns. You think that it is best to be
completely involved in the culture to learn a
language and to encourage her, you say: ----
A) Have you ever thought about homesickness or
cultural differences?
B) Yeah, I’ve noticed your interest, but why go all
the way to Japan for a course?
C) Oh, that sounds interesting. What sparked your
interest in Japanese?
D) Why on earth would you go there? You’re
already fluent in Japanese.
E) I’m proud of you for taking this big step. It’s
such an incredible opportunity.
64. During the restoration of a historical monument,
you notice some workers who use harsh
chemicals that could damage the structure. You
are concerned about the potential long-term
effects of these chemicals on the monument
and want to recommend a safer method. So you
say: ----
A) If we can finish the restoration, we can open
the monument to the public sooner than
expected.
B) People won’t notice the difference in materials
if we prioritise the preservation of the
monument.
C) Modern chemicals are just as good and
effective as old methods when they are
carefully selected.
D) Using traditional materials may take longer, but
it will protect the monument’s historical value.
E) Let’s just finish the restoration quickly by using
available materials so that we can all go home
early.
