Tips: For main idea questions, listen for what they talk about most.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Choosing a restaurant for dinner downtown.: They only mention food briefly. The main talk is about the game, not choosing a restaurant.
• Problems with travelling around the city.: They mention travel, but only as part of the plan. Travel problems are not the main topic.
• Their favourite hockey teams.: They never talk about favourite teams. They only say who is playing.

Correct Answer: Near Union Station.

Why this is correct: Speaker A clearly says they can meet near Union Station. He even mentions a Tim Hortons there. This tells you the meeting place.

Tips: When you hear a place name, check if it is for meeting or traveling.

Why the other options are wrong:

• At a restaurant in Mississauga.: Mississauga is where Speaker B comes from. They do not meet there.
• Inside Scotiabank Arena.: They go to the arena after meeting. It is not the meeting place.
• At Speaker A's home.: They never talk about meeting at Speaker A's home.

Correct Answer: By GO Train.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says he is coming from Mississauga. He then says he will take the GO Train. This clearly shows his travel plan.

Tips: Match the transport choice to the correct speaker.

Why the other options are wrong:

• By taxi.: They never mention a taxi. This option is not in the conversation.
• By subway from the east end.: The subway from the east end is Speaker A's plan, not Speaker B's.
• By car and park nearby.: They say parking is a nightmare, so they do not plan to drive.

Correct Answer: They think it would take too much time.

Why this is correct: Speaker A says a sit-down dinner might be tight. Speaker B agrees, saying Saturday night downtown is busy. This means it would take too long.

Tips: For why questions, listen for explanations after suggestions.

Why the other options are wrong:

• They already ate earlier in the day.: They never say they already ate earlier.
• They do not like restaurants downtown.: They do not say they dislike downtown restaurants.
• They want to save money for the game.: They never talk about saving money for the game.

Correct Answer: Very excited and grateful.

Why this is correct: Speaker B says he is really excited. He also thanks Speaker A for the tickets. This shows excitement and gratitude.

Tips: Feelings are often clear at the end of a conversation.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Unsure if the plan will work.: He never shows doubt. He agrees with the plan.
• Disappointed about the seats.: He says he does not care where they sit.
• A bit nervous about the crowds.: He says the crowd will be loud, but he sounds happy about it.
