W:Of course,I do.But it’s still much less than I would pay to live in my own flat.Right?
M:Obviously.
W:The only thing I don’t like is that my mom wants to know every part of my life.Becky,what are you doing tomorrow?Where?With whom?The same questions every day.
M:Moms are like that.They ask because they care.You’ve got to be patient with them.My parents ask those questions too,but I may not move out soon.The thought of leaving them fills me with fear.What if one of them falls over?What if they both have a fall together?
W:That would be terrible.

W:It’s a pretty good conference,huh?
M:Yeah.All speakers are well-known and knowledgeable in the subject matter.Did you listen to John Miller’s speech on how to avoid business risks this morning?
W:No,I missed that one.I went to a speech at Alan Brown Hall.The speaker was David Thompson.
M:Oh,that should be a good one,too.I attended his lecture last year.By the way,there will be a workshop this afternoon on how to motivate employees.Are you interested?
W:Sure.I was promoted to the position of manager a few months ago.And I have to manage a staff of 12 people.It can be quite a difficult situation sometimes.That’s why I am here today.
M:Same here.I only have seven people reporting to me.Yet,sometimes I feel like pulling my hair out.I need to find a way to create harmony within my department.

W:Welcome to Star Fitness Club.I’m Tina Harrison.Before you start,I’d like to offer you some tips.We all know that regular exercise is important,but few of us know how to exercise properly.I’ve seen many people make the same workout mistakes in this place.One mistake people often make is sticking to the same routine.It is not good for building up your muscles.I’d like to suggest that you change your routine every other month.What’s more,you can try different kinds of workouts,such as jogging,biking,or swimming.This can help keep your whole body in shape.Another mistake most people make is to workout intensely almost every day.You need to give your body a break,and allow time for the muscles to grow.It is not the harder the better.Two hard workout days every week is enough.If you really hate to skip a day,you can plan easy exercises on other days.However,experts’suggestion is that you take one day off completely each week.
