hotel.

W: Thanks. It's a new record for me.

and back, so when I went to high school and university, it was natural for me to enter
races.
M: Is it hard to be a long-distance runner?
W: Well, we have beautiful countryside. It's a pleasure just to run over those hills.
M: That's amazing. So what are your plans for the future? W: The Boston Marathon and the
Berlin Marathon next year.

afternoon.

M: Good morning, Jenny. B How can I help you today?
W: Good morning. I'm here because of sleeping problems. Shall I take some medicine?
M: How long has this been going on?
W: Since about 6 months ago.
M: I see. Was there a stressful event in your life at that time?
W: Well, I started a new job then. I do research for a tech company. I like my job, but
I work about 60 hours a week.
M: That sounds stressful.
W: Yeah. And my husband is not very understanding.
He is a professor of a university. His work is not as demanding as mine.
M: Is it possible for you to work fewer hours?
W: No, I'm a new employee and I have to prove my worth to the company. I don't think I can
reduce my hours for at least a year.
M: Well then, you need to find ways to reduce stress.
Exercise can be helpful. Perhaps you could go to the gym after work.
W: OK, I could manage to go to the gym a few evenings a week. Listening to the music is
also a good way of releasing stress, right? I'd try it.
Text 10
W: Have you ever forgotten an appointment at the doctor's or been late in getting to your
part-time job? Occasionally, these things happen to everybody. I forget to lock the door
when I went out three weeks ago. However, we can avoid such problems if we write out
schedules. Schedules help us see how much time we have to do the things that are
important, as well as those that are fun. A master schedule can be used to find out how
much time we really have for activities. This schedule lists all the activities that we must
complete. A weekly schedule can be used to help us plan time for the things that we really
like to do. Our weekly schedule should include time for activities. It should also include
activities that will help us achieve long-term and short-term goals. Finally, it should
include our study time and free time. Free time is necessary so that we can make needed
changes in our schedule. A daily schedule is a final suggestion to help us plan our time. I
started making daily schedules three months ago. Gradually, I began to use the first two
kinds of schedules, and they have really helped me a lot.
