M：Have you finished eating yet.
F：Not, I haven’t.Why are you in such a hurry.
M：I’m sorry, but you are such a slow eater.
F：A low eater? Well I try to enjoy my food. You just eat and swallow. I don’t see how you can even taste it.
M：Ok, I’m sorry. Do you mind if I get another glass of vine.
F：No, go ahead. I don’t want you to sit there putting pressure on me. I thought we were going to have a relaxing evening.
M：Yes, you are right. I’d like to relax, but I had a lot on my mind.
F：What created?
M：Yes. it is. I’ve been getting some strange emails from my boss. He wants me to cut down on my expenses. Maybe he wants to fire me.
F：Is business bad?
M：Yes, it is. But I don’t want to talk about it.
F：Ok, but I’m a good listener. You can tell me if you’d like to.
M：Thanks, maybe some other time. I’ll try to start thinking about it and deal with it tomorrow.
F：Good idea. You need to take a break from work. Your health is important and so am I.
M：Yes, you are. I don’t know what would I do without you.
