Question

Listen and read the dialogue. Then answer the questions that follow.

Answer

  1. Mary's class has been discussing a possible school trip.
  2. They are choosing between Winchester and Canterbury.
  3. Noah prefers Canterbury because he describes it as a very traditional city with a wonderful historic center, and he mentions the stunning cathedral. He also notes the presence of a museum about The Canterbury Tales.
  4. Mary doesn't agree because she prefers Winchester. She argues that Winchester is less crowded, just as cultural, and has a splendid cathedral. She also mentions Winchester's association with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
  5. Mary finds "Murder in the Cathedral" by T.S. Eliot fairly gruesome.
  6. The dialogue doesn't explicitly state whether Mary convinces Noah that Winchester is better. However, based on their exchange, it seems they don't reach a consensus by the end of the conversation.
  7. Noah doesn't explicitly accept or decline the invitation to join the trip. He says, "I'll let you know. Maybe you can join us?" implying that he hasn't made a decision yet.
