Conversation One　　
　　Woman: Hello, Parkson college. May I help you?
　　Man: Yes. I'm looking for information on courses in computer programming. I would need it for the fall semester.
　　W: Do you want a day or evening course?
　　M: Well, it would have to be an evening course since I work during the day.
　　W: Aha. Have you taken any courses in data processing?
　　M: No.
　　W: Oh. Well, data processing is a course you have to take before you can take computer programming.
　　M: Oh, I see. Well, when is it given? I hope it's not on Thursdays.
　　W: Well, there's a class that meets on Monday evenings at seven.
　　M: Just once a week?
　　W: Yes. But that's all most three hours from seven to nine forty-five.
　　M: Oh. Well, that's all right. I could manage that. How many weeks does the course last?
　　W: Mmmm, let me see. Twelve weeks. You start the first week in September, and finish, oh, Just before Christmas. December 21st.
　　M: And how much is the course?
　　W: That's three hundred dollars including the necessary computer time.
　　M: Aha. Okay. Ah, where do I go to register?
　　W: Registration is on the second and third of September, between 6 and 9 in Frost Hall.
　　M: Is that the round building behind the parking lot?
　　W: Yes. That's the one.
　　M: Oh, I know how to get there. Is there anything that I should bring with me?
　　W: No, just your check book.
　　M: Well, thank you very much.
　　W: You are very welcome. Bye!
　　M: Bye!

　　Conversation Two
　　W: So, why exactly does your job have a reputation for being stressful?
　　M: Stress is generally driven by the feeling of being out of control of a situation, and the feeling of a situation controlling you. Trading in financial markets combines both.
　　W: How do you relax in the evening?
　　M: I very rarely do anything work related. So it's easy to escape the markets. I generally go to the gym or go for a run, especially If I've had a bad day. I always cook a meal rather than have a takeaway. To do something my brain would regard as creative.
　　W: Do you think what you do to relax is an effective way to beat stress?
　　M: I don't think there's a specific rule about how to beat stress. I generally find that what I do is effective for me.
　　W: Would you consider changing your job because of the high stress factor?
　　M: I have considered leaving my job due to stress related factors. However, I do think that an element of stress is a good thing, and if used the right way, can actually be a positive thing.
　　W: What do you enjoy about the stressful aspects of your job?
　　M: Having said all that, I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty. I enjoy a mental challenge. Trading generates a wide range of emotions second by second. How you deal with and manage those emotions dictates short, medium and long term trading performance and success.
