Step 3: Show Conversation Dialog
A: "Martha. What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
B: "Jake just broke up with me."
A: "I'm sorry. When did this happen?"
B: "Yesterday. I didn't even know it was coming. He just told me he found
someone else."
A: "What a jerk. He doesn't deserve you."
B: "But it still hurts. I thought I loved him."
A: "He didn't treat you that well either. Maybe you don't want to hear
this, but I think you can do better."
B: "Better or worse, it doesn't matter. I had a lot of feelings for him. I
really liked him"
A: "It must be really painful. I remember when Josh and I broke up. I was
crying for a week."
B: "I know I'll get over him. My first break up was painful because I was
naive."
A: "Exactly. You'll find someone again. You should get your mind off of
this. Let's go shopping."
B: "Maybe tomorrow. I don't feel like it tonight."
A: "How about coffee down the street?"
B: "Sure."
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.
