Questão 7

Read this dialogue between Melanie and Sam and then choose the correct alternatives according to it.

Melanie: Hi, Sam. How was your interview?
Hi, honey.... Well, I thought the interview
itself went really well.

Melanie: Then why the sad face?

[05] Sam: I think I failed. I was late getting there.
Melanie: Oh, no. Really? What happened?
Sam: I missed the train. The interview was
supposed to start at 10. Well, I was at the
train station by 8:30.

[10] I bought my ticket, and then I put my wallet
down for a few seconds. When I turned
around, it was gone. I spent ten or fifteen
minutes trying to find it.

But I never did.
[15] Melanie: What did you tell the interviewer?
Sam: The truth. I said I'd missed the train. And I
said I was sorry for being late.
Melanie: Didn't you tell him about your wallet?
Sam: No. I was sure he'd think I was just making
[20] an excuse. I don't think he even believed
me about missing the train.
Melanie: What did he say at the end of the interview?
Sam: He said my qualifications were really good
and he'd be in touch. You know, "Don't call
[25] us. We'll call you."
