Conversation Test จะเป็นเหตุการณ์สั้นๆ
เป็นบทสนทนาทั่วไปที่เราใช้กันในชีวิตประจำวันนะคะ
การฝึกทำข้อสอบ conversation ก็จะช่วยให้เราได้ฝึกใช้ประโยคสนทนาโต้ตอบในชีวิตประจำวันได้เช่นกันค่ะ
ลองฝึกทำดูนะคะ

ตอบข้อ d ค่ะ Bob, I can’t make it at 2 o’clock. Are you free at 4?

มาดูสำนวนที่น่าสนใจกันค่ะ stand somebody

สำนวน make it นี่ก็มีหลายความหมาย ถ้าบอกว่า I can make it at 2 pm. ก็คือฉันมาเจอคุณได้ตอนบ่าย 2 แต่ในตัวเลือกเป็น I can’t make
it ก็คือฉันมาตอนบ่าย 2 ไม่ได้น๊า
