5. Recommendations/suggested actions. These questions ask you to identify what one speaker recom-
mends or suggests to the other speaker. Here’s an example:
Man: I haven’t started my essay for American Literature because I’ve been so busy studying for
physics and calculus exams. And the essay is due tomorrow!
Woman: Why don’t you ask if you can hand in the essay a few days late?
Question: What does the woman suggest that the man do?
a. hand his essay in late
b. talk to the professor about handing the essay in late
c. not write the essay at all
d. ask someone else to write the essay
Answer: b.
Tip: Recommendations and suggestions are often signaled by the phrases “you should,”“you ought to,”“why
don’t you,” or “why not.” Listen carefully for these verbal clues.
