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.

1. A friend who is not himself lately
2. He failed an important exam
3. Sitting in his room
4. Try to take him out
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: "Hey Mike. What are you doing?"
B: "Nothing much. What are you up to?"
A: "I was just concerned about Sam. He hasn't been himself lately."
B: "He took the civil service exam and failed."
A: "That sucks. He must feel depressed."
B: "Yeah. He's been sitting in his room everyday for the last 4
days."
A: "Why don't we take him out? We can try to take his mind off of it. In
the least show him that we're there for him."
B: "That's a great idea. Why don't you call him. I already talked to him a
couple of times and it might be good for him to hear from somebody else."
A: "Ok. I'll call you back after I'm done."
B: "Sounds good."
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.
