Lesson 10.2 Feelings

1, Happy – Interactive practice
A: "Hey John. I have some great news."
B: "What happens?"
A: "I get a job offer from Dell."
B: "That's great. I thought you said you didn't get the job."
A: "I thought I did bad on the interview, but I guess I was wrong. I'm so happy right
now."
B: "I bet. That's great news. I'm very happy for you."
A: "Thanks. I feel like celebrating. Let's go have a beer. It's on me."
B: "Sounds good."

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: "People say that money doesn't guarantee happiness."
B: "It guarantees for me. Then I can do all the things I want to do."
A: "You will 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 think. If I don’t have to work, I think I will be happy."
B: "You see... money doesn't equal happiness, but it takes away a lot of stress."

2, Stress – Interactive practice

A: "What stress you out the most?"
B: "Maybe my parents."
A: "Why?"
B: "Well, during school, they want good grades. After I get a job, they want me to
get a better job. And finally, they want me to get married."
A: "You have to deal with a lot of pressure from your parents."
B: "Your parents are not like that?"
A: "Because I brought home some bad grades in elementary school, they never
expect much."
B: "You're lucky."
A: "What do you do to deal with the stress?"
B: "Not much. It's always there. I sometimes go out with some friends and drink,
but that's only a temporary solution. The stress always returns in the morning."
A: "That sucks. Do you want to go grab a beer?"
B: "Sure. Sounds great. Let's go."
