Dialogue: W: Did you see today's newspaper? That building over there in Centerville was just struck by lightning for the fourth time. M: I'm not surprised. If the conditions for lightning to strike are right one time, they might be as good another time. W: Well, I don't take any chances. If I'm caught in a thunderstorm, I will look for a building or a closed car. Also, I was told that if you're stuck outdoors, the best thing you can do is to keep yourself close to the ground and avoid bodies of water. M: To tell you the truth, even when I'm at home, I don't take baths or showers during a thunderstorm. And I don't use anything that works electrically. Maybe I'm too anxious. W: I wouldn't say that. According to the article, lightning starts thousands of fires every year in the United States alone. Hundreds of people are injured or even killed. I think you're just being sensible.

Dialogue: M: I'm thinking about transfering out of state college into another school in the fall. W: After a year and a half? How come? I thought you liked it here. M: I do. But here our flight program doesn't give degrees, only licenses, and I need both a license and a degree. W: So where do you want to go? M: I wouldn't mind going to Makmillen university. It has an excellent reputation for its school of aviation, but I have a feeling it's very selective. W: But you've gotten good grades in the three semesters you've been in the state college, haven't you? M: Yah, mostly A's and B's. W: So what are you worried about then, just ask your professors to write letters of recommendation for you, and you'll be set.
