W: | Why don't you try smoking one cigarette less each day, as well as going jogging every morning? |
M: | Good idea, but I don't want to go jogging in the street and a treadmill may be a better choice. I'm sure the trainers at the gym would be able to give me more professional advice. |
W: | That sounds good. There is one near my company. I am its regular member. |
M: | Really? I will go in to have a look. |

M: | It seems to be your source of comfort to pray when you are on your own at night. |
W: | Yes, it is. I don't know what I will do if I didn't have faith. |
M: | I know it's important for you to be able to pray. That is why I need to find a way for you to say your prayers and yet be sure the other patients are not awakened. |
Q: | Where does the conversation most probably take place? |

W: | Oh, I couldn't possibly do that. I couldn't tell my husband and anyway, who'd look after him? |
M: | I can understand your concerns. If you knew that he would have come here today, what do you think he would say? |
W: | He'd be so worried. He doesn't like it when anyone is sick and he hates hospitals. |
M: | Well, you might also think about what you would say to your sister and daughter? |

M: | Do you often worry about things? |
W: | I used to worry but not now. I know it's not worth it. |
