1:
Listen to Dialog
Do not view the questions until after you have listened to the audio file.
Reading the questions first will not help you improve your English listening
skills.

View Answers
1. Money and happiness
2. Take away a lot of responsibilities
3. Person will become bored eventually
4. Neither of them are rich
If you are uncertain about the answers to the questions, listen to the audio
file again after having read the questions. After you have made all your
selections, you may view the answers to see how you did.
Step 3: Show Conversation Dialog
A: "Life's so boring."
B: "Well, most of the time it is, I guess."
A: "What do you think will make you happy?"
B: "I think money will make me happy."
A: "You heard people say that money doesn't guarantee happiness."
B: "It will for me. Then I can do all the things I want to do."
A: "You'll get bored eventually."
B: "Then I can find something new to do. If I don't have to worry about
money, then I don't have to work."
A: "That's true, I guess. If I didn't have to work, I think I would be
happy."
B: "You see... money doesn't equal happiness, but it takes away a lot of
responsibilities."
You should read the Conversation Dialog to help you study after going through
the listening lesson. Do not view the Conversation Dialog prior to listening to
the audio, or prior to answering all the questions.
