Short conversations Conversation 1
W: The only thing I can do at night is to lie in bed and read, preferably while also eating a snack. I
never have time for exercising.
M: Don’t think it’s worth exercising only if you can run five miles or if you can bike for an hour.
Even going for a 10-minute walk is worthwhile. Q: What advice does the man give to the woman? Conversation 2
W: Hi, Mark, I’ve gained quite some weight recently. So, how can I eat healthily at social events?
M: Well, drink a full glass of water before you go. Focus mainly on fresh fruit and vegetables or
bread with whole grains. These will help you stay feeling full. Q: What can we know about the woman? Conversation 3
W: I heard that in South Africa smoking is banned in all enclosed public spaces. M: Yes, that’s right. But pubs and bars with separate, enclosed smoking rooms are excluded from
the ban, and most restaurants provide smoking sections, either indoor areas with good air
circulation or outdoor open areas.
Q: What can we learn about the smoking rules in South Africa? Conversation 4
M: So, your research shows that even when children are not direct targets of violence in the home,
they can be harmed by witnessing its occurrence?
W: Yes, that’s right. For example, they can suffer immediate and permanent physical harm.
They can also experience short- and long-term emotional and behavioral problems. Q: What are the two speakers talking about? Conversation 5
W: Skipping breakfast is common among people who are trying to lose weight, but it doesn’t
seem to be a successful strategy.

something simple like a hard-boiled egg, a piece of 100 percent wholegrain toast along with a
cup of 100 percent fruit juice.
Q: What is recommended for a healthy breakfast?
Long conversation M: I love working out!
W: Ugh! You’re sweating all over the floor …
M: I just ran five miles! A friend told me about this great park on Jefferson Street. I love exploring new parks!
W: I try running at the gym three days a week, but it’s so boring looking at the TV monitor or the
wall in front of me for an hour.
M: You should run outside! Being in nature, enjoying the beautiful flowers and the trees, I feel my
mind relax and the stress just falls away.
W: It is nice outside. My mom loves t’ai chi and a nearby t’ai chi group meets every morning at 6
a.m. I’ve tried going, but it’s too early for me to get out of bed …
M: T’ai chi is really good. You need some kind of exercise. It’s unhealthy for you to sit in front of
your computer all day, every day!

W: Well, I recently spend my weekends away from my computer.
M: Oh really? And what have you done recently that didn’t involve a computer or TV screen?
W: Pandas! I just went to the San Diego Zoo with my sister on Saturday! They have one of the
best panda exhibits in the US. The mother panda is from Wolong, China, and had had six baby
pandas by 2012 since arriving at the San Diego Zoo in September of 1996.
M: Oh, I bet baby pandas are amazing! Hey! Maybe you should get a zoo membership and go
jogging in the zoo!
W: A zoo membership! Now that’s a great idea! I love the San Diego Zoo. It’s near my house, I
can get good exercise and I can watch the baby pandas grow up!
Passage 1
Have you ever felt you don’t have enough hours in the day? Or that you’d give anything for a
whole day to catch up with yourself? Well, here are some ideas that work for me. First of all, make a to-do list every day and set clear priorities. The trick here isn’t making the
list; that’s the easy part. The trick is making the priorities. I look at my list and put a star next to

anything that is really urgent. Then I put the number “2” next to anything that will just take a
couple of minutes. I actually do these quick tasks before I get on with the urgent ones; it’s a bit
like clearing off the top of your desk before sitting down to write that important letter. Second, know when is the most productive time of day for you and do your work or study
then. One of the shocking discoveries I made about myself is that if I get up at 5 a.m., I can do a
day’s work and even fit breakfast in before half past nine. Of course, if you are an early bird, it can
be difficult to accomplish tasks that involve phoning “night owls”, but that’s what email’s for!
Finally, do not let your inbox run your life. I just realized recently how frequently I interrupted my real work to check my inbox and respond to the most trivial of emails. So, now I
only open it when absolutely necessary and this saves me hours. If your work depends on you
being constantly accessible by email, then you can’t do this; but be honest and ask yourself, “Am I an email addict?”
With these simple, practical techniques, you will become more efficient, less stressed and be
able to win some “me-time” for yourself.
