1. M: You don't look so happy today. What's the matter?↵
W: I wore my sister's favorite T-shirt. But I got grape juice on it.↵
M: Oh, no. Did you tell your sister?↵
W: No, not yet. I don't know what to do.↵
2. W: David, you look down today. What's the matter?↵
M: I got a haircut but it's too short. I look funny.↵
W: Take off your hat and let me see. (pause) Oh, it looks fine.↵
M: Really? I guess I'm just not used to it yet.↵
3. W: You look tired. What's the matter?↵
M: I didn't have breakfast this morning. I'm so hungry.↵
W: Oh, that's too bad. We still have two more hours until lunch break.↵
M: Our school should have a snack bar. Then, we could have a quick breakfast or snacks.↵
W: I think so, too. How can we make that suggestion?↵
M: We can post it on the suggestion board.↵
4. W: I don't know how to do better in math. Can you give me some advice?↵
M: How do you study for tests?↵
W: I just solve a lot of problems.↵
M: Well, don't solve everything. I think you should focus on the ones you got wrong.↵
5. W: I was late for class again. I just can't wake up in the morning.↵
M: Do you set an alarm?↵
W: Yeah, but I turn it off and go back to sleep.↵
M: I think you should put it far from your bed. That way, you'll have to get out of bed.↵
6. M: Ms. Morris, I just can't stop playing computer games. What should I do?↵
W: Well, why don't you use a special program? When you set a time limit, the computer shuts down at that time.↵
M: Oh, that's a good idea.↵
W: And I think you should move the computer out of your room and into the living room.↵
M: I think I should. Thank you for the advice, Ms. Morris.↵
7. M: Hello, you're on the air.↵
W: Hi, Solomon. I'm Amy.↵
M: Hi, Amy. What's the matter?↵
W: I hate sharing my room with my little sister. She uses my stuff without asking me first. What should I do?↵
M: Hmm... . I think you should tell her your feelings. And you should also make some rules with your sister.↵
W: Oh, I'll try that. Thanks for the advice.
