Amanda: my friend Emily recently lost 18 pounds.

Carl: oh, really?

A: the point is that she has been persuading me to lose weight too.

C: well, it's a good thing for you.

A: good? Yes, it's good for her but not for me. You see, she tells me that I'll feel better about myself if I slim down. She keeps giving me newspaper clipping 1 about the latest miracle 2 diet and insists that I join a health club, as she has.

C:so you don't think you are fat and need to lose weight?

A: I just can't bear it that Emily made me feel like a baby who always pigs out on junk 3 food.

C: junk food is not good for your health. Too much of it will make you fat.

A:but junk food is so easy. It requires no silverware or plates, no rigid 4 mealtimes, no pleases and thank yous.

C: ok, but junk food has many disadvantages. As junk food contains high amout of iol and fat, you'll feel sleepy, not be able to concentrate 5 when you have a lot of it.

A: yes, but life without chips, ice cream and coca cola is boring.

C: let me see. You could exercise more to keep fit.

A: well, that sounds better than giving it up.
