How long have they been seeing each other? Nicole: Oh, I mean, it39。d sure love being the taste tester for his recipes. Woman 1: Exactly what I was thinking. Well, I39。s half the reason she married him! Woman 2: Well, that is a good reason. She is really lucky. I wish my husband liked to cook. He pletely avoids anything that has to do with the kitchen. Woman 1: You know, my husband39。t know that? Lynn39。s been real nice talking to you, but, uh, I39。re going to make a fool out of yourself.Man 1: Hmm. That39。re too old? Man 2: Oh, no.

Pete: Well, you might be seeing me around here for a while longer, too. Oh,...wait a minute. I39。ve applied for a teaching job overseas. I guess I39。t had much time to sample the food. Liz: I know what you mean. I can39。s great. This might be the last time I see some of these people for a long time, so I39。s mother. Donna has told me all about you. Pete: Nice to meet you, Mrs. Morton. Liz: It39。s advice, I went to Miami. I had an amazing vacation!Unit 6Unit6: Lesson A: ListeningFirst conversation Liz: Hi,...Pete? Pete: Yes. Hello. Liz: I39。s like the more I think about something and consider all the options, the more frustrated I get. I could sit and analyze something forever. My friends say that I can always see both sides of everything, which makes it hard to decide on anything! You can imagine how irritated my friends must get. When I was deciding where to spend my long Christmas holidays last year, I asked everyone for help. Basically what I did was pose this question: Where would you go in December if you had three weeks? I listened to all the answers and then made my decision. You might think I39。ve been pretty lucky. The people I39。s funny, my boss does it pletely differently. She just likes to sit and think, you know, mull over the information and let the decision e to her. We have pletely different styles! I think I39。t hired. It39。m in charge of hiring new staff for my department at work. I mean, several of us do the interviews, but I39。t go into a showroom and choose a car! No impulse purchases for me! I needed a lot of time to think it over and consider the options. So, I read consumer magazines to see how they rated their cars. I wanted to know the average prices and safety records of different cars. I mean, you never know...I also talked to people in the field who are knowledgeable. You know, the guy down the street who works in the garage, oh, and, uh, also, my brotherinlawhe39。s why we spend so much time learning about the arts.Dominique: You see, I find making an expensive purchase quite difficult. Probably because I don39。t listen to what they say. I guess you could say that I think for myself. Sometimes it makes my friends angry, but that39。t always want to hang out with the group. There39。m really quite a bit different from my classmates! Renato: My life is pretty typical, I think. I head off school at seven in the morning, and school finishes at midday. After school, I usually study or play soccer. On weekends, I like to get together with my friends. We usually hang out in one of the shopping centers. Everyone just shows up there on Saturdays and Sundays. It39。s pany transferred him overseas, and of course we went with him. Living in a foreign culture was really tough at first, but I guess I39。s one big way I39。t control, although I should be able to. Once I had the dream when one of my children was very sick, and I just felt pletely helpless. I hate feeling that way.Unit 5Yoshiko: In some ways, I39。m feeling there39。t move. It39。t even open my eyes, or I can open one eye, usually I have to alert someone, or possible save someone, although the person often changes. Anyway, I can39。s really strange because usually in the dream I am exactly where I am in real life like in my own bed in my bedroom and everything is very realistic. The only part is dreamlike is that I can39。m not sure from what, and I can39。s a nightmare. I39。ve missed an important test, or something. Basically, that39。ve missed most of it, and I don39。m late for class, and this really worries me. Finally , I wind up in my math class, but it39。t find it. No matter how far, how many hallways, I just can39。s very unfortable. I keep thinking. What am I doing here? Well, I think it must be a couple of weeks into school, and I39。m much older and shouldn39。m now twenty years old, I had to go back to high school and study with all these fifteenyearolds. It39。m addicted. When I feel especially frustrated, it feels good to go to the gym and throw those weights around. The other thing I do it is get out of the city. Every month or so, I go for a drive in the country. The fresh air and the quite do wonders for me.Lucia: I have this recurring dream. I39。s house something like that. Anything to take my mind off school and work. Victor: I work in the hospital emergency room. You can imagine how stressful that is! Everyone is in a hurry and under tremendous pressure. The doctors are demanding, and there39。t have to deal with office politics. But, you know, th
