Speaker Dialogue Feeling

I'm feeling really down right now. I can't talk to my school friends about my
Speaker
problems. They never listen to me. My teachers don't help me either and I feels let down

failed all my exams.
I used to be really good friends with a girl I met at college. But recently
Speaker
we've disagreed on loads of things and got angry with each other. So, we has argued with

don't speak to each other anymore. It's for the best, really.
my new boss is great. She's really easy-going even when there's a huge
Speaker
problem. And I think it's amazing how she copes with everything. She's so respects someone

professional.
I've been keen on another girl for over a month now. I've paid her loads of
Speaker
compliments and even ask her out. But I haven't told my girlfriend. That's feels ashamed

Kathy :Hi, Danny. How are you? The last time I saw you, you weren't getting on very well with your
brother and sister. Are things any better?

Danny :Well, sort of. I'm speaking to my younger brother now, but he still drives me crazy when he
takes things from my room and he doesn't ask me first.

Kathy :Yes, I totally understand how you feel. My sister often goes into my room and borrows my
clothes, but she doesn't tell me. It makes me so angry. What about your sister?

Danny :She's okay, I think because she is the oldest. She tries to stop my brother and me arguing all
the time. In fact, she really listens to my problems and tries to help me when I'm in a bad mood.

Kathy :That's great. My dad is usually the one that helps us solve problems when we don't agree
on things in my house. He always tries to make us sit down and talk about things in a calm way.

Danny :Really? That's amazing.

Kathy :Yeah, but it doesn't always work. I find it difficult to say what I really want to say when I'm
angry. And then I feel a bit stupid and uncomfortable.

Danny :I know what you mean. Anyway, talking about something more positive I heard you got the
highest mark in the class in the math exam. Your parents must be pleased.

Kathy :Yeah, I did. But I studied for hours you know. My mom is so happy. She's been telling
everyone about my results. How embarrassing.

Danny :Come on, let's celebrate. Do you want an ice cream?
