Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?

Again?

That's the third time this week.

Don't you ever eat at home, Chris?

Yes, sometimes I get takeout or order pizza.

I mean, don't you ever cook anything?

No, cooking is not my thing.

And I don't even have time for it.

Eating in a restaurant saves me time.

Do you have any idea how unhealthy it is to eat out so often?

Why do you think that?

Well, first of all, you can never be sure how fresh the ingredients are.

And most restaurants don't buy the best quality produce because it costs too much.

But the food is always so tasty,

so I'm sure it's very fresh.

That's because they use a lot of fat in seasonings like salt,

pepper and spices to improve the flavor.

Besides, eating out all the time can get expensive.

Think of all the money you could save,

Chris, if you ate at home.

You're right.

But I can't cook too many dishes.

You can watch a lot of cooking videos on YouTube.

There are so many quick and easy recipes that you could follow with no problem.

But then I'd have to go to the supermarket,

buy the ingredients, come home,

cook, and then do all that washing up afterwards.

I can't afford to waste so much time.

Eating out takes a lot of time, too.

You need to get in the car,

drive to the restaurant, wait to be seated,

wait to order your food,

wait to get your food,

pay for your meal, and then drive home.

If you plan your meals in advance,

you only have to shop once a week,

and washing up doesn't take that long to do.

I have an idea.

Let's start a dinner club.

We can also ask three other friends to join us.

Each of us will cook once a week.

That way we can have home-cooked food six times a week,

and go out for dinner once a week.

What do you say?

That's a great idea, Angela.

Don't you think so, Chris?

I suppose so.

But you'd better bring your indigestion tablets when it's my turn to cook.

Hi, Linda.

How are you?

Oh, not too well, I'm afraid.

I have a few problems at work,

and I don't know how to deal with them.

Well, why don't we talk them over together?

That might help you to sort yourself out.

Okay, thanks.

Well, first of all, Kimberly was going to give a very important presentation tomorrow.

But she says she's ill and isn't going to be able to do it.

I think she's just gotten cold feet,

as it's for such an important client.

Feeling a bit ill was just the perfect excuse for her.

I'd do it myself, but I'm busy with meetings all day.

Well, that calls for quick action if the presentation is tomorrow.

Why don't you do it yourself if it's so important?

You should cancel your other meetings.

I guess I'll have to.

The next problem is that personal belongings have been going missing from people's desks during the day.

Oh dear!

You should deal with that problem as quickly as possible.

Try to make a list of possible suspects.

Well, it just dawned on me that the thefts have always happened on the top floor.

So it couldn't be anyone who never goes up there.

That actually rules out quite a lot of people.

Think some more about exactly when and where things were stolen.

And you'll probably find that the answer jumps at you.

Thanks, Matthew.

It's good to work through things with you.

It really helps me to sort things out.

Hello?

Hi, Luke.

This is Sarah.

Oh, hi, Sarah.

What's up?

I was wondering if you could do me a favor.

Yeah, sure.

What is it?

Well, I need to go to my parents' house this weekend.

Would it be okay if I borrowed your suitcase?

Of course.

No problem.

Thanks a lot.

Is it okay if I come by and pick it up tonight?

That's fine.

Hi, Chizika.

This is Sarah.

Oh, hello.

How are you?

I'm very good, thanks.

Listen, the reason I'm calling is I have a really big favor to ask you.

100

Sure, how can I help you, Sarah?

101

Remember I told you that I hadn't seen my parents in a while,

102

and it's time I paid them a visit?

103

Yeah, I remember.

104

Are you finally going to see them?

105

Yes, I am.

106

The problem is that I took my car to the mechanic to have its brake pads replaced.

107

So, I was wondering if you'd mind landing your car for the afternoon to get there.

108

Oh, I didn't expect that.

109

I'd really love to help you out,

110

but I'm gonna need my car all weekend.

111

I have a friend coming in from out of town,

112

and I promised to show her the sights.

113

So, I'm afraid I can't help you.

114

I see.

115

It's okay.

116

Don't worry.

117

Sorry to bother you, Dan.

118

What's something that makes you sad?

119

Being looked down on for taking a certain career path.

120

You can't measure someone's worth by their occupation and not their character.

121

I totally agree about not shaming people about the job they do.

122

There are people that genuinely can't afford to pay for their studies.

123

I know many people that did so well in school,

124

way better than me.

125

They ended up being cashiers or carpenters.

126

Simply because they couldn't afford to pay for their studies.

127

They get looked down on because everyone just assumed they weren't smart enough for university.

128

It's sad.

129

Exactly.

130

What makes you happy?

131

True happy moments are those spent with family and friends and all the people I love.

132

Doing the simple things in life alongside them,

133

like hugs, smiles, conversations, good food,

134

brings me so much joy.

135

What about you?

136

The thing that makes me happy is when I contribute to someone's life.

137

I get great satisfaction from it.

138

That contribution can be financial, emotional, or physical.

139

It makes me happy to connect and speak to ordinary people from different backgrounds

140

and share stories about how we live our lives.

141

Seeing other people in a positive mindset after being down or in a low place for a long time

142

also makes me so happy.

143

Please have a sit, Maggie.

144

Thank you.

145

Now, what seems to be the trouble?

146

Well, I've been very stressed and down lately.

147

The stress has taken a toll on my personal life.

148

I don't seem to have a social life anymore.

149

I just worry all the time,

150

and I can't seem to relax.

151

I see.

152

What is causing this stress?

153

It's my job, mainly.

154

I've had to do a lot of overtime recently.

155

My boss keeps giving me impossible deadlines to meet.

156

And I'm scared that he'll give me the sack if I don't get everything done on time.

157

Hmm, that's not good.

158

Have you considered changing your job?

159

Yes, I have.

160

I've been searching for another job.

161

But there's just nothing available right now,

162

and I really do need the job.

163

Well, in that case, perhaps you should talk to your boss and ask to cut down on the hours you work.

164

I'm afraid he would never agree to that.

165

If you really want to beat stress,

166

the best thing you can do is make more time for yourself.

167

You need to make sure you use that time to do something just for you,

168

to help you relax and put your problems aside.

169

I see.

170

Well, it's true, I don't have much free time at the moment.

171

When I'm not at work,

172

I have to take care of my two children.

173

Why don't you consider daycare for your children?

174

That might be the answer to your problem.

175

I suppose I could do something like that.

176

My advice to you would be to try to take things easier for a while.

177

Cut down on the overtime.

178

Put your children in daycare.

179

Oh, and try to find time to relax.

180

I'll try that and see how it goes.

181

Well, thank you for your advice.

182

No problem.

183

I hope things start to get easier for you.

184

Do you have a good memory?

185

I wish I had.

186

I'm a disaster.

187

I'm good at remembering things like appointments and meetings at work.

188

That's fine.

189

But I'm terrible with faces and names.

190

It happens all the time that I meet people and immediately forget their name.

191

Me too.

192

I'm hopeless.

193

I can never remember faces.

194

The other day I was walking along the street and this man came up and said hello.

195

And I had no idea who he was.

196

And who was he?

197

He was my boss's husband.

198

Oops.

199

Very embarrassing.

200

What about dates?

201

Do you remember people's birthdays, that kind of thing?

202

Well, I'm okay with birthdays because I write them all down in my diary.

203

I wish I didn't have to, but, you know.

204

And phone numbers?

205

I can't even remember my own phone number half the time.

206

Personally, I wish I could remember things like writers' names or the name of songs.

207

It happened quite recently that we were talking about books

208

and I'd read an excellent novel and I wished I'd remembered the name because I wanted to recommend the book.

209

But I just couldn't remember it.

210

What book's that then?

211

Um, I can't remember the title.

212

Have you seen Laura lately?

213

Yeah, I see her pretty often.

214

We work together.

215

How's she doing?

216

I've been meaning to call her.

217

Well, to be honest, I've always thought she was a little difficult.

218

But these days I find her impossible.

219

What do you mean?

220

Oh, you know how she is.

221

She has such strong ideas about everything,

222

and if you don't agree with her,

223

she lets you know what she thinks of you.

224

Yes, that's true.

225

She is very blunt.

226

Very straightforward.

227

She never tries to hide her feelings.

228

That's why we love her, right?

229

Well, it's good to be straightforward as long as you don't hurt people, don't you think?

230

She's changed a lot since she started college.

231

She talks about herself all the time and she always manages to mention how good she is at everything she does.

232

Hmm, maybe I won't call her after all.

233

So how was your date with Paul?

234

Well, I was worried at first,

235

especially when I saw that he rode a huge motorcycle.

236

I thought that he might turn out to be a weird guy with whom I'd had nothing in common.

237

And he's just a regular kind of guy?

238

Yes, he is.

239

We got along really well.

240

I'm glad you liked him.

241

What does he look like?

242

He's pretty tall, with dark hair and brown eyes.

243

What was he wearing?

244

He was wearing a black leather jacket and jeans.

245

How old is he?

246

He's 22.

247

And he's really funny.

248

He had me laughing hysterically at the coffee shop.

249

So are you two going to get together again?

250

Definitely.

251

In fact, we're going to the party together.

252

That's great!

253

Excuse me?

254

Yes?

255

How can I help you?

256

You see this shirt?

257

I bought it here a few days ago.

258

But the first time I washed it, the color changed.

259

It went from bright red to light pink.

260

How did you wash it?

261

Well, I just tossed it into the washing machine with my other clothes.

262

What temperature did you use?

263

I usually wash my clothes in hot water, so I guess hot.

264

Well, did you check the washing instructions?

265

Um, maybe not.

266

Well, you see here on this label,

267

it says wash in cold water only.

268

Uh-huh.

269

So I'm really sorry, but since you didn't follow the washing instructions,

270

I can't really do anything for you.
