Lesson D: Ways to relax.

Two: Listening, Time to chill out.

B: Listen to four people talk about relaxing. Number the pictures.

1. You know, I can really get lost in a book.

Yeah.

If I’m really interested in something I’m reading, I mean, hours can go by, and I look up at the clock and say “Oh wow you know?

Uh-huh.

My husband watches TV to relax, but most of the time I prefer to read.

Oh, yeah, I do too.

But I watch TV, too. When I’m really tired.

1. I like to go sit somewhere alone and just think about things.

Right.

I like to listen to the birds and the cars.

Listen to cars?

Yeah, I like the sound of the cars when they go by. It’s relaxing.

Really?

Yeah, and sometimes I like to go to the mall and sit and watch people there. I just find people very interesting. I don’t buy anything, I just watch the people go by.

Uh-uh.

1. How do I relax? I take two baths a day.

Yeah?

Yeah. I take bubble baths, two a day. One to get me started in the morning, and one to help me go to sleep at night. And whenever I’m really upset, my husband says, “Go take a bath.” It always helps.

Uh-huh.

But, um, going home and playing with my little girl is probably the best thing. She’s really sweet.

1. Man I enjoy getting away from the TV, the telephone. I have a lot of friends, they want to do things all the time, but with fishing, you have to be very quiet and still.

Yeah.

If you can enjoy the quiet, it’s great. If you can’t, fishing’s not for you. It’s not easy.

Right.

Our lives are so stressful, you know? I just think water is very relaxing. Like when I’m swimming, that’s relaxing, too.

Uh-huh.

Especially if I’m in the pool alone.

Right!
