If you want to be able to do more two years from now, will your computer be able to handle it?Bob: Well I don’t know. But I kind of doubt that I’ll need a new one anytime soon.Andy: Yeah, but with computers, there’s always a new model coming out that can do so much more. If you don’t keep up with technology, you'll get left behind.Bob: well, what’s wrong with that?ScriptDoctor: Hi, Julie. How are you?Julie: Her, Dr. Cassidy. I’m actually fine. It’s just that I’ve been a little tired the last few days, and my stomach is kinda upset.Doctor: Well, that doesn’t surprise me. I have some news that you might find exciting. You’re pregnant.Julie: No way!Doctor: Yes, you’re going to have a baby.Julie: Are you kidding me? Ah, I need a cigarette.Doctor: That’s the last thing you need. You need to stop smoking, and immediately.Julie: But I can’t stop smoking.Doctor: For your baby’s health, Julie, I’m afraid you have to.Julie: But smoking is the only way I can relax! It helps me when I’m stressed out.Doctor: Now, there are a number of things that are extremely important for pregnant mothers, and not smoking is only one of them. Another is to stop drinking alcohol. Do you drink?Julie: Well, I have a glass of wine with dinner, but I’m not an alcoholic. And I thought a little bit was supposed to be good for you anyway.Doctor: If you drink while you’re pregnant, your child coul d have birth defects. I cannot emphasize enough, Julie, the importance of quitting.Julie: Okay, then. What else is there?Doctor: Well, coffee.Julie: Do I have to give up everything I enjoy? I need coffee to wake me up in the morning. Doctor: I’m afraid,Julie, you’ll have to stop drinking that, too. Caffeine affects the baby’s heart rate. And, it’s also important to get regular exercise.Julie: You’re kidding! I have to quit smoking, stop drinking alcohol and coffee, and on top of all that, I have to start exercising? Boy, it is amazing that anybody ever gets pregnant.Doctor: I really hope you’ll take this seriously, Julie.ScriptSue: Randy, what’s going on in this picture? It looks like you have blood all over your shirt. Randy: No, that’s not blood. It’s ketchup.Sue: Ketchup? What happened?Randy: This happened when Tim and I were traveling around Asia. We were in Bangkok.Randy: …and we had reservations to catch an overnight bus to Chiang Mai.Sue: Yeah.Randy: And we were waiting at a ki ng of restaurant that was sort of a travel agency…and we went early, but the bus didn’t come, and I was getting kind of worried.Sue: Yeah…but what’s that got to do with ketchup?Randy: So, I was beginning to wonder if we’d been cheated, because we’d alrea dy paid for our tickets in advance.Sue: Right.Randy: Then, finally, a van pulled up , and we thought, no , this is not the bus…but then everyone else who was waiting pushed right past us and jumped in , and, bam!—just like that, the van drove away. And then this sweet little Thai woman, who was the tickets, came up to us.Sue: Yeah, and …Randy: …and she said, “Why you no get on?” And Tim was like, “ That wasn’t the bus, was it?” “Only one, why you not get on?” And I didn’t know she was talking about…Sue: So what happened?Randy: Well, the travel agent jus shrugged and turned and went inside her shop. Neither of us could believe it. I started to get really angry , like we’d been cheated, and now it’s dark and we’re stranded in this little restaurant…Sue: Oh, no…Randy: I followed her inside, I started arguing. I told her, “We paid for the bus. You didn’t tell us to look for a van. Now you have to get us a taxi to Chiang Mai. Now.” And I started pointing at the clock. I think that was the last straw for t he woman, because she started shouting. “You no go. You no go Chiang Mai!” She grabbed a ketchup bottle off the table you know, one of those plastic squirt ketchup bottles, and she squirted ketchup at me!Sue: No! She didn’t!Randy: Yeah! She did. And then she threw the bottle at me. And Tim snapped the picture. Just then the same van pulled up and the woman said, “Now you go.”Sue: So you got on the van.Randy: Yeah, we ended up at the bus terminal, where this big, air-conditioned tour bus was waiting to go to Chiang Mai. And all the people who had pushed ahead of us earlier were there, waiting to leave. I felt SO stupid for getting angry at the woman and making such a fool of myself. Sue: You must have felt terrible.Randy: Yeah, I wished there was some way I could go back and apologize to her. I realized that I have to be more patient, especially when I’m in another country.ScriptEd: Are you worried about having enough money? Are you worried about paying your bills?

Three hours of my life every day, five days a week, you know. I’ve got to wake up at six in the morning just to make it in to work by nine or so.I feel like a techno-self.Lori: that is long. I can walk here in 15 minutes. But you know, at least your commute is green. You can look at the trees and small towns…it must be nice.Carrie: For the first 20 minutes yeah. But as soon as the train gets closer to the city, it is all concrete and steel. That’s when it starts to get really crowded. Today so many people were in the train that I felt like a sardine in a big sardine can.Lori: Well, you could always move closer to the office.Carrie: But I love living in the country. The air is so fresh and clean, and I can have a bigger place and it’s safe and all that. I just wish I had more time to enjoy it. Sometimes it seems like my whole life is get up early/take the train/work all day/take the train home/go to bed, and then wale up and do it all over again.Lori: Wel l, can’t you find a way to make the trip more worthwhile?Carrie: Well, I read the newspaper and sometimes I bring a book, but I don’t really enjoy it.

And we were still sleep on a Tuesday morning, and a little after six o’clock, there was this horrible sound and the floor was just bouncing and rolling like waves, all at the same time.Anna: Oh my gosh! What did you do?Margaret: well, it took a second or two to figure out what was going on—that it was an earthquake. Then I climbed out of bed and under the table, and I shouted at Julia to come, but she just pulled the covers over her head like it was a bad dream or something.Anna: Whoa!Margaret: It lasted 24 seconds, and then it stopped. And Julia and I could hear people talking outside, so we tried to go out the front door , but it was jammed shut. And then the first aftershock hit.Anna: That must have been horrifying!Margaret: Well, I remember that someone shouted, “Get out of there, quickly!” And we shouted back, “We can’t! The door won’t open.” So they said, “Well, come out the window.” But I called out, “it’s too high up,” because we were living on the second floor. “Not any more,” the person shouted back. So, we looked out the window and , sure enough, we were down on the ground! Anna: Your second floor apartment was on the ground?Margaret: We couldn’t believe it. We opened the window and crawled out, and somebody helped us over all this rubble. Once we were down safely, we turned around and looked back at our apartment building. The whole first floor was gone—it was just totally flattened. And then Julia looked at me and said, “Margaret. Mr. Sanchez!” He was this elderly man who lived on the first floor.Anna: Oh, no. How horrible!Margaret: Yeah. Julia and I both just burst into tears. He never had a chance.ScriptDr. Monroe: This is Dr. Ellen Monroe on Love Talk.

They’re very traditional, so I’m afraid of telling them that I’m engaged. I’m worried that they won’t let me marry him.Dr. Monroe: Hmm.Sunhee: I can’t go against my parents’ will, but this is the man I want to marry.Dr. Monroe: Hmm. That’s Sunhee’s problem, folks. Now, what’s your advice to her?Sunhee: Hello. What’s your advice for our worried friend?Carla: Hello. I’m Carla, from Canada, and I married a Chinese man five years ago. When I first told my parents I wanted to marry a foreigner with different religious beliefs, they were very angry. You see, they’re very traditional. They’ve always expected me to marry someone Canadian, from the same religious background.Dr. Monroe: Then what happened?Carla: For four years, they hardly talked to me, and they never came to visit us. it was like they disowned me…Dr. Monroe: Four years, you say. After four years something changed?Carla: Yes. When our little girl was born, I sent my parents a picture of her, and wrote, “Your granddaugh ter would like to see you.” A week later they called, and a month after that they came to see us – well, they came to see my daughter, any-way. Now they’re trying –they still aren’t comfortable with my husband, but they’re trying to understand him.Dr. Mo nroe: So, what’s your advice?Carla: Don’t give in to tradition.

Oh, man, this is going to cost money.Sarah: it doesn’t have to cost a lot.Richard: Why can’t we just leave it the way it is? I like it. I feel comfortable here. You start putting a lot of nice things around and it’s going to be a museum.Sarah: But, Richa rd, we’re not the only ones that are going to be here. We want to have friends over, you know, have people over to study. They’ve got to have places to sit.Richard: Hey, that’s a good idea. We could get a couple of psychedelic posters and a lava lamp. Get a black light. Crank up the stereo. We could have cool parties here.Sarah: Parties, Richard? Richard, we are not going to have any time to party. We are going to be way too busy studying. That's what we’re in college for!Richard: College is about having parties about having friends over. I don’t want something that looks like my parents’ house.Sarah: Look. It doesn’t have to look like your parents’ house. We just need a few simple things like chairs. Maybe some plants you know, it’ll just make it nice a nd homey.Richard: Homey? Okay, I’m not looking for homey. I’m a college student.Sarah: At this rate, we’re never going to find anything that we both like.Richard: Yeah, well, at least we can agree on that.ScriptWhitney: Welcome to Life’s Concerns.

I‘ve got two words for you: ―student budget.‖ I can‘t afford to buy any clothing!Susie: Well, you‘re just a jeans and T-shirt person, aren‘t you? I am going to enjoy myself no matter how much it costs. I‘m on holiday. Look, Rachel, I‘ll buy you something, a new blouse , or skirt, whatever you want.Rachel: Well, I don‘t want anyone to buy me something I can‘t afford myself.Susie: Oh, don‘t worry about that. And, there is no need to thank me. It‘s the least I can do since you‘ll be cooking dinner every night while I‘m here.Rachel: Dinner? What are you talking about?ScriptRichard: Hello?Irma: Hi, it‘s me.Richard: Oh, hi! How was the job interview?Irma: Well, he hired me.Richard: You got the job? The management job? Oh,I rma: No, I didn‘t say I got the management job. He hired me for a job in customer service, selling hired me for a job in customer service, selling tours to Asia.Richard: Just customer service? But what about the management position? You were perfect for that job. You can supervise people. You understand the business.Irma: I know. I showed him my resume. I told him that I worked in travel management for five years back home, and that I even got a degree in Business Management here in the U.S. Richard: Oh, I can‘t believe that. You‘re perfectly qualified for that management position. Irma: That‘s what I thought. It‘s not fair! Why did I bother going to college here?Richard: Wait, wait a minute. Did he know that you were applying for the management position. Irma: Of course. And you know what he said?Richard: What?Irma: He said that everyone really expects the manager to be someone from the local community. But the person they hired is from New York. And she‘s a woman, too, so it‘s not because I am a woman. So that means the problem is my English.Richard: But your English is fantastic!Irma: But I‘m not a native speaker, and I guess that‘s what they want for the management job.Richard: Well, you know, you spend a little time at the customer service job and then you can work your way up to the management position…ScriptAmy: I know I have a picture of Luis around here some-where. Oh, here it is.Erika: wow! He‘s so handsome! He looks like a Greek statue.Amy: Yeah, he is very attractive. But I didn‘t think so when I first met him.Erika: You didn‘t?Amy: No. You know what I noticed when I first met him? He has really hairy hands.Erika: What?Amy: Yeah. His hands are just really hairy. Plus, his clothes were way more fashionable than I usually like. He just wasn‘t my type. And on top of all that, he was shorter than me.Erika: So how come you went out with him?Amy: Well, he was just really sweet and funny and I was so comfortable just hanging out with him. And the first time we went out he just swept me away with his personality.Erika: Really, how?Amy: He was just really easy to talk to.Erika: But still, if all those things bothered you, about his hands and all…Amy: well, you know, none of that was important once I got to know him more. His personality a nd the way we got along just made it clear to me that he is ―the one.‖Erika: So, when‘s the big day?ScriptEddie: Hey, what‘s up with you, Marty? You look kind of bummed out.Marty: You haven‘t heard?Eddie: Heard what?Marty: Kristy and Shawna are moving in with us.Eddie: Yeah, I heard. Simon got transferred to Florida, right?Marty: Yeah, so he and Lily got to go there first and do a whole bunch of stuff. That means that we get stuck with the twin brats.Eddie: Ah, come on, Marty. They aren‘t brats.Ma rty: Yeah, but you know what it‘s going to mean? Mom and Dad aren‘t going to have any time for us anymore. And it‘s going to get even more crowded here. Just one big happy family! Eddie: Yeah, there‘s a lot of us now, that‘s for sure. I hear we‘re going to have to sleep in the living room so that Kristy and Shawna can have our room.Marty: I wish we were back in our old house—just us, Mom and Dad.Eddie: Yeah, sometimes I do, too.Marty: And I wish Mom and Dad wouldn‘t try to solve everybody‘s problems.Edd ie: I don‘t think that will change. You know your mom wants to take care of everybody. She doesn‘t want to say no if anybody needs he.Marty: But nobody ever asks me what I want!Eddie: Kids never get to say what goes on in their house. That‘s the way it i s.Marty: Yeah, you‘re right. But now everything in this house is going to be Kristy and Shawna, Kristy and shawna. Or else Grandma.Eddie: Hey, don‘t get mad at your grandma. She‘s in a lot of pain, you know.Marty: I know. I‘m not really mad at her. I‘m mad at Mon and Dad. They used to always have time to help me with my homework, or play games with me, but they‘re always too busy. And now it‘s going to get even worse.Eddie: Hey, maybe I can help you with your homework. Bring it here.Marty: Really? You mean it? I‘m really stuck on this math.Eddie: Sure. While things are kind of tough around here, I‘ll help you out as much as I can.ScriptSteve: I can‘t believe these people. I can‘t believe what they do.Trish: Calm down, Steve. What are you talking about?Steve: Look at this. I just bought a donut. I‘m so sick of the clerk wrapping each pastry individually, then taping the bags shut, then putting those bags in another bag, folding it down, and then taping that bag shut. I can‘t take it anymore. It‘s crazy and it‘s bad for the environment. Trish: How long have you been living here? Don‘t you know that‘s the way it is?Steve: I just want them to stick ‗em in a napkin for me , so I can eat while I‘m walking to class. Trish: There you go again. Don‘t you know it‘s rude to eat while you walk?Steve: I‘m so tired of this place. I don‘t have time to sit down and eat. People here are too inflexible, and they have too many rules.Trish: Yeah, right, Steve, so you‘re gonna convert everybody here to your way of doi ng things? Steve: Yeah, there has to be more individual freedom to do whatever you want.Trish: Why don't you just relax and go with the flow?Steve: Go with the flow? The whole system is a waste of my time. The clerks here should learn how to be more efficient, like in the U.S.Trish: What are you talking about? When I was in the U.S., the clerks were really rude. They just ignore you, and seem offended if you want anything. Don't you think it‘s better this way? Steve: Are you kidding?Trish: Well, I kind of like it. It‘s nice to relax and enjoy the moment while your packages are being wrapped. I like all of the traditions, and the care and attention that people give you, and the manners. To me, it‘s a wonderful place to live.Steve: I think you‘re nuts.Tr ish: You‘re not gonna last long, mate.ScriptAndy: Hey, Bob. How are ya? Come and see what I‘ve got.Bob: Is that another new computer?Andy: Yeah. Look how fast it is.Bob: Wow! I can‘t believe it. And I thought your other computer was fast!Andy: It is fast, but this one‘s like lightning.Bob: And the picture‘s so clear.Andy: Mmm. Isn‘t it? The color is pretty impressive, too, don‘t you think?Bob: Yeah. You always have the latest, don‘t you?Andy: You bet. This machine is right on the cutting edge of t echnology. You wouldn‘t believe how much it can do. Apart from e-mail and free Internet service, I can watch TV on it while surfing. With this new desktop program, I can watch TV, e-mail, streamline videos, and scan artwork. And it‘s not that expensive to upgrade, either. Uh, speaking of computers, how‘s yours?Bob: Yeah, it‘s fine. Thanks!Andy: I know I gave you a good deal. It was only a year old. Still, are you sure it meets all your needs? Maybe you should think about upgrading.Bob: you know me – the only things tat I need a computer for are e-mail and word processing. Andy: Yeah, but does it give you room to expand? If you want to be able to do more two years from now, will your computer be able to handle it?Bob: Well I don‘t know. But I kind of doubt that I‘ll need a new one anytime soon.Andy: Yeah, but with computers, there‘s always a new model coming out that can do so much more. If you don‘t keep up with technology, you'll get left behind.Bob: well, what‘s wrong with that?ScriptDoctor: Hi, Julie. How are you?Julie: Her, Dr. Cassidy. I‘m actually fine. It‘s just that I‘ve been a little tired the last few days, and my stomach is kinda upset.Doctor: Well, that doesn‘t surprise me. I have some news that you might find exciting. You‘re pregnant.Julie: No way!Doctor: Yes, you‘re going to have a baby.Julie: Are you kidding me? Ah, I need a cigarette.Doctor: That‘s the last thing you need. You need to stop smoking, and immediately.Julie: But I can‘t stop smoking.Doctor: For your baby‘s health, Julie, I‘m afraid you have to.Julie: But smoking is the only way I can relax! It helps me when I‘m stressed out.Doctor: Now, there are a number of things that are extremely important for pregnant mothers, and not smoking is only one of them. Another is to stop drinking alcohol. Do you drink?Julie: Well, I have a glass of wine with dinner, but I‘m not an alcoholic. And I thought a little bit was supposed to be good for you anyway.Doctor: If you drink while you‘re pregnant, your child coul d have birth defects. I cannot emphasize enough, Julie, the importance of quitting.Julie: Okay, then. What else is there?Doctor: Well, coffee.Julie: Do I have to give up everything I enjoy? I need coffee to wake me up in the morning. Doctor: I‘m afraid,Julie, you‘ll have to stop drinking that, too. Caffeine affects the baby‘s heart rate. And, it‘s also important to get regular exercise.Julie: You‘re kidding! I have to quit smoking, stop drinking alcohol and coffee, and on top of all that, I have to start exercising? Boy, it is amazing that anybody ever gets pregnant.Doctor: I really hope you‘ll take this seriously, Julie.ScriptSue: Randy, what‘s going on in this picture? It looks like you have blood all over your shirt. Randy: No, that‘s not blood. It‘s ketchup.Sue: Ketchup? What happened?Randy: This happened when Tim and I were traveling around Asia. We were in Bangkok.Randy: …and we had reservations to catch an overnight bus to Chiang Mai.Sue: Yeah.Randy: And we were waiting at a ki ng of restaurant that was sort of a travel agency…and we went early, but the bus didn‘t come, and I was getting kind of worried.Sue: Yeah…but what‘s that got to do with ketchup?Randy: So, I was beginning to wonder if we‘d been cheated, because we‘d alrea dy paid for our tickets in advance.Sue: Right.Randy: Then, finally, a van pulled up , and we thought, no , this is not the bus…but then everyone else who was waiting pushed right past us and jumped in , and, bam!—just like that, the van drove away. And then this sweet little Thai woman, who was the tickets, came up to us.Sue: Yeah, and …Randy: …and she said, ―Why you no get on?‖ And Tim was like, ― That wasn‘t the bus, was it?‖ ―Only one, why you not get on?‖ And I didn‘t know she was talking about…Sue: So what happened?Randy: Well, the travel agent jus shrugged and turned and went inside her shop. Neither of us could believe it. I started to get really angry , like we‘d been cheated, and now it‘s dark and we‘re stranded in this little restaurant…Sue: Oh, no…Randy: I followed her inside, I started arguing. I told her, ―We paid for the bus. You didn‘t tell us to look for a van. Now you have to get us a taxi to Chiang Mai. Now.‖ And I started pointing at the clock. I think that was the last straw for t he woman, because she started shouting. ―You no go. You no go Chiang Mai!‖ She grabbed a ketchup bottle off the table you know, one of those plastic squirt ketchup bottles, and she squirted ketchup at me!Sue: No! She didn‘t!Randy: Yeah! She did. And then she threw the bottle at me. And Tim snapped the picture. Just then the same van pulled up and the woman said, ―Now you go.‖Sue: So you got on the van.Randy: Yeah, we ended up at the bus terminal, where this big, air-conditioned tour bus was waiting to go to Chiang Mai. And all the people who had pushed ahead of us earlier were there, waiting to leave. I felt SO stupid for getting angry at the woman and making such a fool of myself. Sue: You must have felt terrible.Randy: Yeah, I wished there was some way I could go back and apologize to her. I realized that I have to be more patient, especially when I‘m in another country.ScriptEd: Are you worried about having enough money? Are you worried about paying your bills?

Three hours of my life every day, five days a week, you know. I‘ve got to wake up at six in the morning just to make it in to work by nine or so.I feel like a techno-self.Lori: that is long. I can walk here in 15 minutes. But you know, at least your commute is green. You can look at the trees and small towns…it must be nice.Carrie: For the first 20 minutes yeah. But as soon as the train gets closer to the city, it is all concrete and steel. That‘s when it starts to get really crowded. Today so many people were in the train that I felt like a sardine in a big sardine can.Lori: Well, you could always move closer to the office.Carrie: But I love living in the country. The air is so fresh and clean, and I can have a bigger place and it‘s safe and all that. I just wish I had more time to enjoy it. Sometimes it seems like my whole life is get up early/take the train/work all day/take the train home/go to bed, and then wale up and do it all over again.Lori: Wel l, can‘t you find a way to make the trip more worthwhile?Carrie: Well, I read the newspaper and sometimes I bring a book, but I don‘t really enjoy it. Lori: How about audiotapes or CDs? There‘re novels or language learning tapes, relaxation tapes, relaxation tapes , all kinds of stuff on tape and CD.Carrie: Yeah, good idea, maybe I‘ll look into it. Anything will be better than complaining about this commute all the time.Lori: Yeah, that‘s for sure!ScriptAnna: Margaret, what‘s the scariest thing that ev er happened to you?Margaret: The scariest thing? Surviving the San Jose earthquake.Anna: You were in the San Jose earthquake? Tell me what happened.Margaret: Well, I was living in an apartment downtown with my friend Julia. And we were still sleep on a Tuesday morning, and a little after six o‘clock, there was this horrible sound and the floor was just bouncing and rolling like waves, all at the same time.Anna: Oh my gosh! What did you do?Margaret: well, it took a second or two to figure out what was going on—that it was an earthquake. Then I climbed out of bed and under the table, and I shouted at Julia to come, but she just pulled the covers over her head like it was a bad dream or something.Anna: Whoa!Margaret: It lasted 24 seconds, and then it stopped. And Julia and I could hear people talking outside, so we tried to go out the front door , but it was jammed shut. And then the first aftershock hit.Anna: That must have been horrifying!Margaret: Well, I remember that someone shouted, ―Get out of there, quickly!‖ And we shouted back, ―We can‘t! The door won‘t open.‖ So they said, ―Well, come out the window.‖ But I called out, ―it‘s too high up,‖ because we were living on the second floor. ―Not any more,‖ the person shouted back. So, we looked out the window and , sure enough, we were down on the ground! Anna: Your second floor apartment was on the ground?Margaret: We couldn‘t believe it. We opened the window and crawled out, and somebody helped us over all this rubble. Once we were down safely, we turned around and looked back at our apartment building. The whole first floor was gone—it was just totally flattened. And then Julia looked at me and said, ―Margaret. Mr. Sanchez!‖ He was this elderly man who lived on the first floor.Anna: Oh, no. How horrible!Margaret: Yeah. Julia and I both just burst into tears. He never had a chance.ScriptDr. Monroe: This is Dr. Ellen Monroe on Love Talk.

They‘re very traditional, so I‘m afraid of telling them that I‘m engaged.I‘m worried that they won‘t let me marry him.Dr. Monroe: Hmm.Sunhee: I can‘t go against my parents‘ will, but this is the man I want to marry.Dr. Monroe: Hmm. That‘s Sunhee‘s problem, folks. Now, what‘s your advice to her?Sunhee: Hello. What‘s your advice for our worried friend?Carla: Hello. I‘m Carla, from Canada, and I married a Chinese man five years ago. When I first told my parents I wanted to marry a foreigner with different religious beliefs, they were very angry. You see, they‘re very traditional. They‘ve always expected me to marry someone Canadian, from the same religious background.Dr. Monroe: Then what happened?Carla: For four years, they hardly talked to me, and they never came to visit us. it was like they disowned me…Dr. Monroe: Four years, you say. After four years something changed?Carla: Yes. When our little girl was born, I sent my parents a picture of her, and wrote, ―Your granddaugh ter would like to see you.‖ A week later they called, and a month after that they came to see us – well, they came to see my daughter, any-way. Now they‘re trying –they still aren‘t comfortable with my husband, but they‘re trying to understand him.Dr. Mo nroe: So, what‘s your advice?Carla: Don‘t give in to tradition. Marry the person you love. But have your first child soon –don‘t wait four years like I did. That‘s too long to be divided from your parents.Dr. Monroe: Sounds like good advice to me.ScriptSarah: You know, Richard, I really think we ought to fix up our apartment a little.Richard: What for? What‘s wrong with it the way it is?Sarah: Are you kidding? It‘s so empty.Richard: Come on. A room is just a room. Why do we have to fill it up with a bunch of junk? Besides, it costs money.Sarah: Well, it doesn‘t have to be that expensive. I know this really neat little thrift store around the corner. We can go there and get a few simple things, just make it feel like a home.Richard: A few things? Oh, man, this is going to cost money.Sarah: it doesn‘t have to cost a lot.Richard: Why can‘t we just leave it the way it is? I like it. I feel comfortable here. You start putting a lot of nice things around and it‘s going to be a museum.Sarah: But, Richa rd, we‘re not the only ones that are going to be here. We want to have friends over, you know, have people over to study. They‘ve got to have places to sit.Richard: Hey, that‘s a good idea. We could get a couple of psychedelic posters and a lava lamp. Get a black light. Crank up the stereo. We could have cool parties here.Sarah: Parties, Richard? Richard, we are not going to have any time to party. We are going to be way too busy studying. That's what we‘re in college for!Richard: College is about having parties about having friends over. I don‘t want something that looks like my parents‘ house.Sarah: Look. It doesn‘t have to look like your parents‘ house. We just need a few simple things like chairs. Maybe some plants you know, it‘ll just make it nice a nd homey.Richard: Homey? Okay, I‘m not looking for homey. I‘m a college student.Sarah: At this rate, we‘re never going to find anything that we both like.Richard: Yeah, well, at least we can agree on that.ScriptWhitney: Welcome to Life‘s Concerns.

Still like it?Bob: Yeah, it’s fine. Thanks!Andy: I know I gave you a good deal. It was only a year old. Still, are you sure it meets all your needs?

It helps me when I’m stressed out.Doctor: Now, there are a number of things that are extremely important for pregnant mothers, and not smoking is only one of them. Another is to stop drinking alcohol. Do you drink?Julie: Well, I have a glass of wine with dinner, but I’m not an alcoholic. And I thought a little bit was supposed to be good for you anyway.Doctor: If you drink while you’re pregnant, your child could have birth defects. I cannot emphasize enough, Julie, the importance of quitting.Julie: Okay, then. What else is there? Doctor: Well, coffee.Julie: Do I have to give up everything I enjoy? I need coffee to wake me up in the morning. Doctor: I’m afraid, Julie, you’ll have to stop drinking that, too. Caffeine affects the baby’s heart rate. And, it’s also important to get regular exercise.Julie: You’re kidding! I have to quit smoking, stop drinking alcohol and coffee, and on top of all that, I have to start exercising? Boy, it is amazing that anybody ever gets pregnant. Doctor: I really hope you’ll take this seriously, Julie.ScriptSue: Randy, what’s going on in this picture?

I told her, “We paid for the bus. You didn’t tell us to look for a van. Now you have to get us a taxi to Chiang Mai. Now.” And I started pointing at the clock. I think that was the last straw for the woman, because she started shouting. “You no go. You no go Chiang Mai!” She grabbed a ketchup bottle off the table you know, one of those plastic squirt ketchup bottles, and shesquirted ketchup at me!Sue: No! She didn’t!Randy: Yeah! She did. And then she threw the bottle at me. And Tim snapped the picture. Just then the same van pulled up and the woman said, “Now you go.”Sue: So you got on the van.Randy: Yeah, we ended up at the bus terminal, where this big, air-conditioned tour bus was waiting to go to Chiang Mai. And all the people who had pushed ahead of us earlier were there, waiting to leave. I felt SO stupid for getting angry at the woman and making such a fool of myself.Sue: You must have felt terrible.Randy: Yeah, I wished there was some way I could go back and apologize to her. I realized that I have to be more patient, especially when I’m in another country.ScriptEd: Are you worried about having enough money?

The stupid train was late again, and I missed my connection, and…gosh, I’m tired already, and the day hasn’t even started.Lori: How long is your commute?Carrie: Almost an hour and a half, on a good day. Three hours of my life every day, five days a week, you know. I’ve got to wake up at six in the morning just to make it in to work by nine or so. I feel like a techno-self.Lori: that is long. I can walk here in 15 minutes. But you know, at least your commute is green. You can look at the trees and small towns…it must be nice.Carrie: For the first 20 minutes yeah. But as soon as the train gets closer to the city, it is all concret e and steel. That’s when it starts to get really crowded. Today so many people were in the train that I felt like a sardine in a big sardine can.Lori: Well, you could always move closer to the office.Carrie: But I love living in the country. The air is so fresh and clean, and I can have a bigger place and it’s safe and all that. I just wish I had more time to enjoy it. Sometimes it seems like my whole life is get up early/take the train/work all day/take the train home/go to bed, and then wale up and do it all over again.Lori: Well, can’t you find a way to make the trip more worthwhile?Carrie: Well, I read the newspaper and sometimes I bring a book, but I don’t really enjoy it.Lori: How about audiotapes or CDs? There’re novels or language learning tapes, relaxation tapes, relaxation tapes , all kinds of stuff on tape and CD.Carrie: Yeah, good idea, maybe I’ll look into it. Anything will be better than complaining about this commute all the time.Lori: Yeah, that’s for sure!ScriptA nna: Margaret, what’s the scariest thing thatever happened to you?Margaret: The scariest thing? Surviving the San Jose earthquake.Anna: You were in the San Jose earthquake? Tell me what happened.Margaret: Well, I was living in an apartment downtown with my friend Julia. And we were still sleep on a Tuesday morning, and a little after six o’clock, there was this horrible sound and the floor was just bouncing and rolling like waves, all at the same time.Anna: Oh my gosh! What did you do? Margaret: well, it took a second or two to figure out what was going on—that it was an earthquake. Then I climbed out of bed and under the table, and I shouted at Julia to come, but she just pulled the covers over her head like it was a bad dream or something.Anna: Whoa!Margaret: It lasted 24 seconds, and then it stopped. And Julia and I could hear people talking outside, so we tried to go out the frontdoor , but it was jammed shut. And then the first aftershock hit.Anna: That must have been horrifying! Margaret: Well, I remember that someone shouted, “Get out of there, quickly!” And we shouted back, “We can’t! The door won’t open.” So they said, “Well, come out the window.” But I called out, “it’s too high up,” because we were living on the second floor. “Not any more,” the person shouted back. So, we looked out the window and , sure enough, we were down on the ground!Anna: Your second floor apartment was on the ground?Margaret: We couldn’t believe it. We opened the window and crawled out, and somebody helped us over all this rubble. Once we were down safely, we turned around and looked back at our apartment building. The whole first floor was gone—it was just totally flattened. And then Julia looked at me and said, “Margaret. Mr. Sanchez!” He was this elderly man who lived onthe first floor.Anna: Oh, no. How horrible!Margaret: Yeah. Julia and I both just burst into tears. He never had a chance.ScriptDr. Monroe: This is Dr. Ellen Monroe on Love Talk. This is the part of the show where we listen to our callers’ advi ce. Tonight we have Sunhee, a woman with a love problem. Sunhee, tell us about your problem.Sunhee: I’m from a Korean family, and I’m in love with a man from India that I met here in the U.S.Dr. Monroe: Okay, and…Sunhee: He’s asked me to marry him, and I said yes.Dr. Monroe: So what is the problem? Sunhee: It’s my parents. They’re very traditional, so I’m afraid of telling them that I’m engaged. I’m worried that they won’t let me marry him.Dr. Monroe: Hmm.Sunhee: I can’t go against my parents’ will, b ut this is the man I want to marry.Dr. Monroe: Hmm. That’s Sunhee’s problem, folks. Now, what’s your advice to her? Sunhee: Hello. What’s your advice for our worried friend?Carla: Hello. I’m Carla, from Canada, and I married a Chinese man five years ago. When I first told my parents I wanted to marry a foreigner with different religious beliefs, they were very angry. You see, they’re very traditional. They’ve always expected me to marry someone Canadian, from the same religious background.Dr. Monroe: Then what happened?Carla: For four years, they hardly talked to me, and they never came to visit us. it was like they disowned me…Dr. Monroe: Four years, you say. After four years something changed?Carla: Yes. When our little girl was born, I sent my parents a picture of her, and wrote, “Yourgranddaughter would like to see you.” A week later they called, and a month after that they came to see us – well, they came to see my daughter, any-way. Now they’re trying – they still aren’t comfortable with my husba nd, but they’re tryi ng to understand him.Dr. Monroe: So, what’s your advice?Carla: Don’t give in to tradition. Marry the person you love. But have your first child soon –don’t wait four years like I did. That’s too long to be divided from your parents.Dr. Monroe: Sounds like good advice to me.ScriptSarah: You know, Richard, I really think we ought to fix up our apartment a little. Richard: What for? What’s wrong with it the way it is?Sarah: Are you kidding? It’s so empty. Richard: Come on. A room is just a room. Why do we have to fill it up with a bunch of junk? Besides, it costs money.Sarah: Well, it doesn’t have to be that expensive.I know this really neat little thrift store around the corner. We can go there and get a few simple things, just make it feel like a home.Richard: A few things? Oh, man, this is going to cost money.Sarah: it doesn’t have to cost a lot.Richard: Why can’t we just leave it the way it is?I like it. I feel comfortable here. You start putting a lot of nice things around and it’s going to be a museum.Sarah: But, Richard, we’re not the only onesthat are going to be here. We want to have friends over, you know, have people over to study. They’ve got to have places to sit. Richard: Hey, that’s a good idea. We could get a couple of psychedelic posters and a lava lamp. Get a black light. Crank up the stereo. We could have cool parties here.Sarah: Parties, Richard? Richard, we are not going to have any time to party. We are going to be way too busy studying. That's what we’re in college for!Richard: College is about having parties about having friends over. I don’t want something that looks like my parents’ house.Sarah: Look. It doesn’t have to look like your parents’ house. We just need a few simple things like chairs. Maybe some plants you kno w, it’ll just make it nice and homey.Richard: Homey? Okay, I’m not looking for homey. I’m a college student.Sarah: At this rate, we’re never going to find anything that we both like.Richard: Yeah, well, at least we can agree on that.ScriptWhitney: Wel come to Life’s Concerns.

And she was in so much pain at the end. Oh. Whitney: I’m really sorry. That must have been very difficult for you.Clayton: Yeah. At the end, there, you could tell she just wanted it to be over.

You get to know someone pretty well in 56 years, don’t you?。
