Module 3, 3E, Exercise 4, page 35.0:02
Speaker A: I've never been one to just sit at home with the telly on or read a book.0:08
I need to be around others.0:15
Whether it's shopping with my mates or grabbing a quick bite together, I find their company is what makes my troubles disappear.0:17
Sure, I like my job and find it interesting, but I really enjoy laughing and being with those I care about most.0:24
Speaker B: I never stop.0:33
When I'm not working, I'm teaching piano or gardening.0:36
People are always telling me to slow down or take some time off.0:40
What they don't understand is that all these activities help me stop worrying about things.0:44
I lose track of time and forget myself when I'm absorbed in an activity.0:50
There is nothing more satisfying.0:55
Speaker C: How you look at your life is really important.1:00
I try to live my life by my own standards, and not by what others have or do.1:05
Sure, I care about what my friends think, but I don't worry about keeping up with them.1:11
I try not to compare myself with others, and look at the bright side of things.1:16
I'm busy focusing on my own personal goals.1:21
Speaker D. For many people, it's their family, friends, and what they do in their free time that makes them happy.1:26
I, however, can't wait to wake up and go to the office.1:35
Don't get me wrong, it can be very tiring with long hours and stressful at times.1:39
Nonetheless, when I finish the day, I feel such a sense of accomplishment that it makes it all worth it.1:46
So many of my friends get caught up with what they have or want.1:57
Seeing what little some people have, and yet they are still positive, really puts things into perspective.2:04
I volunteer at the shelter because it feels fantastic knowing I'm making a difference in other people's lives.2:10
No job or hobby has brought me such fulfillment.2:17
