Read the below conversation. M: When in Rome, do as the Romans do, they say. W: What do the Romans do? M: They live in Rome, of course, and go to work by car or bus. But sometimes it takes too long that way because of the traffic jams, so they walk. W: In other words, the Romans do what everyone else does. M: Yes, but they do it differently. Everything is different. W: What do you mean? M: Well, the climate is different for a start. It doesn't rain so much as it does in England. The sun shines more often. W: I envy them for the sun. M: I Know. You hate the rain, don't you? W: I certainly do. M: And a Roman really loves life. They always eat spaghetti and drink wine. W: Not always, but they like a good meal. Lots of tourists go to Rome just for food. What would the listener say?

Q: Read the below conversation. W: Police in North London are treating as murder the death of a man thought to be in his forties whose body was found in a pedestrian subway in Neasden. The man leading the hunt is Detective Chief Superintendent John Day, who explains what they know of the man's movements in the early hours of this morning. M: What we've learned is the fact that he left the Level One Club, which is a drinking club in Neasden Lane, about 1:30 a.m., and we're trying to account for movements up till 2:15 a. m., because it was about that time he was found by a member of the club, an employee. He was found in the underpass, the pedestrian way, under the North Circular Road. Death was due to multiple head injuries. We understand that there may have been two girls and a man who was drunk in close proximity to the entrance to the subway, who may have seen the man walking in that direction, or any attacker who may have been following him. W: About what time would you think that they were there? M: Just after half past one to a quarter past two. W: Then in that case the gap you have is really quite short. It's only more or less half a hour or forty minutes. M: In fact, yes, as short as that. W: And how far away from the Neasden underpass was the drinking club? M: Fifty meters. W: And at the moment you know of no other people in the area whom you want to talk to, other than the drunken man and the two women who were seen with him or near him at some time? M: Yes. The club closed at half past one and there may have been other people who left the club who went that way. We understand that there were also minicab drivers parked in the area who may have seen something as well. W: As it is, I take it you haven't been able to identify them. M: No, not at this stage. What would the listener say?
A: W: Well, thank you very much.

[Q]: Read the below conversation. W: We all know that poetry is not everyone's cup of tea. But according to Dr James Stewart. M: Hello! W: Hello! If you are suffering from anxiety or depression, poetry may be the solution to your problems. Dr Stewart, how does poetry help? M: Em, OK! Look, let me give you an example. A patient came into our clinic last month. He was a middle-aged businessmen, and he was feeling, well, like most middle-aged businessmen, really stressed and with his life out of control. He talked to me about it, and, well, I was convinced that medication just wouldn't help him. Then I read him a poem called Leisure by WHDavis. Do you know the one? It begins, er... W: I do, yes. M: What is this life, er, so full of. It is so or if... W: I think it's if. M: If full of care, that's it, yes. We have no time to stand and stare. Well, you know the one. The next time he came to see me, he told me that, well, it was a sort of turning point for him. The poem made him think about the quality of his life and the need to find a balance between his work and his social life. Er, you see, because the idea was expressed poetically, he felt that he could identify with it, and actually feel the message in a way that he wouldn't if he simply discussed it with me. And we just had the usual kind of conversation about it. W: Yes, I see. M: You see, reading poetry to patients seems to make them calmer. Encouraging them to write it has an even more dramatic effect, actually. Era, there.., there are something about the process of expressing confused thoughts and feelings and emotions in writing that actually helps people or suffering from stress and anxiety. This happens especially if the words are written in a poetical way with a sense of rhythm rather than in prose, you see. Er, now, for a long time, we've been asking patients to write diaries to put their feelings into words. But it turns out that writing poetry seems to work much better for many patients. W: Right, and have you found that other doctors and therapists have made the same... What would the listener say?
