M: Ruth, what is something you are afraid of? Like snakes, spiders or rats?
W: Probably sharks.
M: Sharks? Why sharks? I don’t think people can get close to sharks very easily.
W: I know that sounds quite irrational. I don’t live near the sea, but the thought of being eaten by a shark often appears in my mind. It’s horrific. I’m really very frightened every time I think of sharks.
M:(1 - 1)Have you ever seen a shark?
W:(1 -2)No. Thankfully. I think I’d run a mile. I have just seen them in some movies. So what are you afraid of? Anything that frightens you just like a shark does to me?
M: I don’t know what I’m really afraid of. I guess I don’t like heights too much. Yeah, so I have to admit that when I’m on a plane I get kind of freaked out. When I fly, I keep thinking "How is this thing staying in the air?" And then it makes me too nervous to enjoy my flight.
W: So I guess you’re always happy to land.
M: Yeah, yeah. Always, always, very happy to land, and often when 1 go home I have to fly across the Pacific and there’s no land so you look out of your window and you think,(2)" Ah, if something goes wrong with the plane we can’t land anymore" , but that’s very irrational because most accidents, I think, happen over mountains.
W: Even if you landed in the sea, there might be sharks.
M: That’s true. How do you feel when you fly?
W: I quite like flying actually. I mean I’m quite used to flying. I’ve flown to a lot of places.(3)If it’s a long haul flight, I guess it’s a bit boring, but I like the handheld computer you get to play with.
M: Yeah, those are nice.
W: They’re good.
M: So what’s the food like? I know that you’re a vegetarian. How do you like the food during flights?
W: Oh, well, the last time I flew I didn’t get any vegetarian food. I think I forgot to tell them, so I had to eat the chicken, whatever.
M: Really, you actually ate the chicken?
W: No, I didn’t eat it. Actually, I just had it in front of me.
M: Yeah, I heard that the vegetarian meals are actually better than the chicken or beef meal.
W: Really, they’re quite good.
M: Well, it was really an interesting conversation we had today.
W: Absolutely. Everybody is afraid of something, aren’t they? It is quite normal.
M: Yeah, we’re just humans after all. We have likes and dislikes. That just makes our life more colorful!
