Exercise F, page 113.0:00
Speaker 1: I really don't like planes.0:06
I used to be terrified of flying in the past.0:10
Nowadays, the idea of flying still makes me nervous, but I try to do things that will make my flight as stress-free as possible.0:13
I avoid travelling on small planes, and I always book direct, non-stop flights so I don't have to go through more than one take-off and landing.0:21
I also give myself plenty of time to get to the airport.0:30
The good thing is that I don't panic anymore.0:34
When I was a child, I was afraid of dogs.0:42
I wouldn't even go to the park to play with my friends for fear of running into one.0:46
Until one day, when I heard barking as I was walking home from school.0:51
I turned around and saw a big dark dog running towards me.0:56
The dog came up to me and started wagging its tail.1:01
I realised it was a friendly dog and just wanted to play.1:04
From that moment, I never felt scared again.1:08
Speaker 3: I have a real fear of anything that crawls.1:15
Like spiders and ants.1:21
You know what I mean?1:22
I run and scream for my life.1:24
When I was 6 years old, we were having a picnic and I reached for a sandwich and I was shocked to see ants crawling all over it.1:26
I dropped the sandwich and screamed.1:34
They were everywhere and we couldn't get rid of them.1:37
It ruined our picnic and whenever I remember it, I still feel disgusted.1:40
I don't like thunderstorms.1:51
At home, the noise of thunder makes me hide under my bed.1:54
I always listen to the weather forecast and keep a watchful eye on the sky.1:58
It makes me anxious to venture outside during rainy or overcast weather because I'm terrified at the thought of being caught in a storm.2:02
The thing is that I know my fear is illogical, but I can't seem to help myself.2:10
Speaker 5: I can't remember the last time I entered an elevator.2:19
Just the thought of being stuck in one makes me shake with fear.2:24
My heart starts to beat really fast and I feel kind of sick.2:27
It's not just elevators though.2:30
As soon as I step inside a theater or cinema and the lights go down, I start to sweat and look for the exits.2:32
I just feel that something might go wrong and I won't be able to escape.2:39
