Where did you get the sofa? ,F: My friend Jack is moving next week, but his new apartment is very small. So he is giving me his sofa. ,M: It's good that your place is large enough to fit the sofa. Where will you put it? ,F: I have space in the living room. My current sofa is a little old and dirty, so I'm just going to throw it away. ,M: Yeah, my sofa gets dirty easily as well. Hey, I know Jack from work. Where is he moving? ,F: He is actually just moving across the street. Even though he won't have much space, he will have a great view. ,M: And you get a new sofa? ,F: Yup, it will be nice to get rid of my old one. ,M: Maybe Jack needs to get rid of some other furniture when he moves. ,F: I guess you can find out next week.

But I'm still worried about something. ,M: What's that? ,F: Well, I have to drive to school for a meeting this morning and I'm afraid I may get stuck in the rush hour traffic, and I will be pretty upset. ,M: Don't worry! Just breathe deeply when that happens. ,F: OK, I'll try that.
