Conversation Test 1
Conversation Test จะเป็นเหตุการณ์สั้นๆ เป็นบทสนทนาทั่วไปที่เราใช้กันในชีวิตประจำวันนะคะ 

การฝึกทำข้อสอบ conversation ก็จะช่วยให้เราได้ฝึกใช้ประโยคสนทนาโต้ตอบในชีวิตประจำวันได้เช่นกันค่ะ 

ลองฝึกทำดูนะคะ จะได้คุ้นเคยกับประโยคเผื่อสถานการณ์จริงจะได้นำไปใช้ได้ค่ะ

ตอบข้อ d ค่ะ  Bob, I can’t make it at 2 o’clock. Are you free at 4? = บ๊อบ ผมไปเจอคุณตอนบ่าย 2 ไม่ได้ คุณว่างตอน 4 โมงไม่ครับ 

มาดูสำนวนที่น่าสนใจกันค่ะ stand somebody up = ไม่มาตามที่นัดไว้ ปล่อยให้เรารอเก้อ (เป็น informal จ้า)

สำนวน make it นี่ก็มีหลายความหมาย ถ้าบอกว่า I can make it at 2 pm. ก็คือฉันมาเจอคุณได้ตอนบ่าย 2 แต่ในตัวเลือกเป็น I can’t make it ก็คือฉันมาตอนบ่าย 2 ไม่ได้น๊า ขอเป็นตอน 4 โมง ว่างไม่
