Unit 2-Conversation 1
Kate
:

Come in. Hey, Janet.

Ja
n
et:

Hi Kate, are you busy?

Kate
:

Yes, I'm just doing an essay. But it's great to see you.
So what's new?

Janet
:

Well, nothing much.

Kate
:

You look a bit fed up. What's bugging you?

Janet
:

Well, I had a phone call from my parents and it made
me feel homesick. It happens every time they call, and it gets
me down.

Kate
:

I'm
sorry
to
hear
that.
I
know
how
you
feel.
I
love
speaking
to
my
mum
and
dad,
but
I
always
feel
miserable
after the call.

Janet
:

My dad doesn't say much, and I want to speak to him,
but I wish I knew what to say.

Kate
:

Don't let it get to you. My dad doesn't say much on
the phone either. I call, he answers the phone, and says,
I'll pass you to your mother.

Janet
:

But
I
miss
him
and
my
mother
a
lot,
and
I
like
to
hear his voice.

Kate:

Just tell him what you're up to.

Janet
:

Sometimes
I
feel
as
if
I
made
a
mistake
leaving
home and coming to Oxford. Sometimes I feel like a moody
teenager.

Kate
:

Try
not
to
worry
about
it,
Janet.
It's
normal
to
feel
like that. I understand how you feel, but I bet everything will
be fine next term. You'll get used to it. Hey, why don't you do
what I do?

Janet
:

What's that?

Kate
:

When
my
dad
calls,
I
ask
him
for
more
money!
He
usually says no, but at least I get to hear his voice!

Janet
:

Maybe.
I'm
sorry
to
take
up
your
time,
Kate,
but
I
must go now. Bye!

Kate
:

Wait a minute ...!
seriously.

Mark
:
I
wouldn't
worry
about
it.
Put
yourself
in
her
shoes.
How would you feel if you were a student at college in

China?

Kate
:

I know. That's why I feel bad. If only she had stayed
longer! I wish I could have helped her more.

Janet
:

Hey, everyone!

Mark
:

Hi Janet, you look cheerful!

Janet
: Yes, I've just got my essay back. I got an alpha minus!

Kate
:

What an amazing grade! Well done.

Mark
:

I'm really happy for you, Janet.

Janet
:

I feel on top of the world!

Sebastien

Hi. I'm Sebastien. I'm from Germany. Um, the idea of IQ
of a measure of your brain power has been around for a while,
but
recently
there's
been
this
new
idea
of
the
EQ
-
your
emotional
quotient.
And
by
now,
it's
actually
almost
being
regarded as more important. If you look at it, businesses will...
Well, they will prefer employing people with great EQ. Well,
of course, IQ cannot be disregarded, but um, EQ does have its
importance as well. Uh, I believe that, um,... I mean, people,
most
people
will
have,
um,
their
basic
means
of
communicating with other people. Most people are somewhat
socially
adept,
and
just
like
most
people
have,
you
know,
a
basic general knowledge. But then, what I think really is the
difference
between
IQ
and
EQ,
I
mean,
you
can
have
a

if
you
just
can't
get
along
with
him,
if
you
just
can't
communicate with him, I mean, you know, he's not really that
useful.

Kim

Hi. This is Kim. I'm originally from Korea, and I was
raised in California. And today, we are going to talk about
the differences between IQ and EQ -IQ meaning your
intelligence, EQ meaning your emotions. Now, in ... When
I was, when I was a little, little boy in Korea, I had to
take ... I think I'd taken like two or three IQ tests before the
age often, which is when I moved to California. So, I guess
we stress a lot of importance on intelligence, on having
great IQ1 scores. But after I moved to the States, I learnt
how to associate with people, and along the lines that this
word EQ came up, you know, emotional, caring lout... It's
basically how you deal with people, how you make people
feel, and how people make you feel. t
hink they're equally
as, as important, but it seems that in the Eastern world they
kind of stress on that a lot more back in the days
. But I
think again, you know, now that with Internet and people
are communicating so much faster, there's a better mixture
of the two I link.
There's a stress on EQ in Korea as well,
and a stress on IQ in the State
s. Thank you.

Unit 2-Conversation 2

Kate
:

I think I may have upset Janet last night.

Mark
:

What happened?

Kate
:

She came to see me. I was busy doing an essay but I
was really pleased to see her. She'd had a call from

home, and said she was feeling homesick.

Mark
:

Poor kid! It must be tough when you guys living so
far away from home.

Kate
:

I tried to make her laugh, told her not to worry about
it, and that it was normal to feel miserable. Suddenly

she looked miserable, and then she got up and said,
go now

as if I'd said something wrong.

Mark:


Maybe
she
was
just
being
polite.
It
was
probably
because she realized you were working and didn't want to

disturb you.

Kate
:

I just wonder if she found it difficult to talk about her
feelings with me. Maybe I shouldn't have tried to

make
her
laugh?
Perhaps
she
thought
I
wasn't
taking
her
