Hello guys if you are still not tired of me ;-)
Here is another script: M: Can you join us for a picnic? We are going to Melissa Garden. W: Well, I’m up to my ears in work but there is no way I am going to take a rain check on this one. Q: What does the woman mean? Actually, I understand that woman agrees to drop by although there is plenty of work to do. But, I don't understand clearly the sentence "There is no way I am going to take a rain check on this one." Does anyone has an idea why there is no conjunction between "no way"and "I am going"? Thank you in advance. |

Here is my approach:
M: Can you join us for a picnic? We are going to Melissa Garden. W: Well, I’m up to my ears in work but there is no way I am going to take a rain check on this one. Q: What does the woman mean? (A) She will definitely come since she likes the place. (B) She will come but will only if she has a rain jacket. (C) She’s too busy to come but maybe another time. (D) She can come but not for long since she is busy. Answer is A.Woman says: I’m up to my ears in work but , "but" is important here. Even though she has a lot of work to do, "but" implies that she will come. And she continues: there is no way I am going to take a rain check on this one. I will not miss the chance of going this time, I will not leave it to the next time. |

Rain check is a small piece of paper you can get from store which has some goods for discount but out of stock. U can get the goods u want in the discount price next time when they are availabe.
So, the woman means if she dont go this time. she will miss it forever. |
