Short conversations Conversation 1 W: The only thing I can do at night is to lie in bed and read, preferably while also eating a snack. I never have time for exercising. M: Don ’t think it ’s worth exercising only if you can run five miles or if you can bike for an hour. Even going for a 10-minute walk is worthwhile. Q: What advice does the man give to the woman? Conversation 2 W: Hi, Mark, I ’ve gained quite some weight recently. So, how can I eat healthily at social events? M: Well, drink a full glass of water before you go.

But pubs and bars with separate, enclosed smoking rooms are excluded from the ban, and most restaurants provide smoking sections, either indoor areas with good air circulation or outdoor open areas. Q: What can we learn about the smoking rules in South Africa? Conversation 4 M: So, your research shows that even when children are not direct targets of violence in the home, they can be harmed by witnessing its occurrence? W: Yes, that ’s right.

Q: What is recommended for a healthy breakfast? Long conversation M: I love working out! W: Ugh! You ’re sweating all over the floor
