  Dialogue 1


  W: Is there anything wrong?


  M: I’m worried about my daughter. She can’t decide about college.


  W: Don’t worry. That’s just a part of being a teenager.


  M: I don’t mind that. But she disagrees with me about everything.


  W: You should encourage her to make up her mind by herself. You shouldn’t affect her decision.


  M: But I just want to give her some tips.


  W: Oh, she can make her own decisions.


  M: I guess you are right.


  W: Believe me. Everything will be ok.


  M: I hope so.


  Dialogue 2


  W: I’m sorry, dad. But you can’t do that. It’s for me to decide.


  M: Oh, I see. You’ve already decided, have you? Now, you listen to me, you’re only 19.


  W: I didn’t say I’d already decided, dad. I said it was for me to decide. There is a difference.


  M: Oh. So you think you can just do whatever you want, do you?


  W: I didn’t say that either. I was hoping we could discuss the matter together. I want your advice but I don’t want you to tell me what to do. I’ve got to make decisions for myself, dad.

  M: I’ve decided to go to the cinema alone this evening.

  M: Maybe you’re right.


  Dialogue 5


  M: I can’t decide what to do today.


  W: Well. Let’s go swimming.


  M: Don’t you think it’s a bit cold for that?


  W: Then why don’t we go for a walk in the hills. It’d be very good for us you know.
