Module 3, 3E, Exercise 4, page 35.0:00
Speaker 1: I've never been one to just sit at home with the telly on or read a book.0:06
I need to be around others.0:12
Whether it's shopping with my mates or grabbing a quick bite together, I find their company is what makes my troubles disappear.0:14
Sure, I like my job and find it interesting, but I really enjoy laughing and being with those I care about most.0:21
Speaker 2: I never stop.0:29
When I'm not working, I'm teaching piano or gardening.0:33
People are always telling me to slow down or take some time off.0:37
What they don't understand is that all these activities help me stop worrying about things.0:41
I lose track of time and forget myself when I'm absorbed in an activity.0:47
There is nothing more satisfying.0:51
How you look at your life is really important.0:57
I try to live my life by my own standards, and not by what others have or do.1:00
Sure, I care about what my friends think, but I don't worry about keeping up with them.1:06
I try not to compare myself with others, and look at the bright side of things.1:12
I'm busy focusing on my own personal goals.1:16
For many people, it's their family, friends, and what they do in their free time that makes them happy.1:23
I, however, can't wait to wake up and go to the office.1:30
Don't get me wrong, it can be very tiring with long hours and stressful at times.1:34
Nonetheless, when I finish the day, I feel such a sense of accomplishment that it makes it all worth it.1:40
So many of my friends get caught up with what they have or want.1:51
Seeing what little some people have, and yet they are still positive, really puts things into perspective.1:57
I volunteer at the shelter because it feels fantastic knowing I'm making a difference in other people's lives.2:03
No job or hobby has brought me such fulfillment.2:10
