THE TEXT BELOW WILL BE USED FOR QUESTIONS 58 AND 59.
“Speakers normally have a communicative purpose and listeners are interested in discovering what that purpose is. However, even if listeners have some idea about the purpose, they must listen in orderto be sure. They cannot be sure, in other words, what it is before they hear what speaker says. [...] We communicate when one of us has an information that another does not have. This is known as an information gap. The aim of a communicative activity in class is to get learners to use the language they are learning to interact in realistic and meaningful ways, usually involving exchanges of information.” (Harmer, 2009, p.48)

On the other hand, he may genuinely want to know the time. So, there is not a gap between the two in the information they possess, and the conversation helps to close the gaps so that now both speakers have the same information. That is an information gap used for promoting interaction in a foreign language context of learning.
