W: Hello, Jim. What seems to be the problem?
M: Actually, I feel fine right now. But you know every year around the holidays like clockwork I come down with something.
W: So you're interested in prevention. What symptoms do you usually get?
M: You know, coughing, fever, a runny nose, and my head and bones ache etc. I usually feel miserably weak and it ends up ruining my holidays.
W: Sounds like typical flu to me. Flu often strikes when people are overtired, stressed and not eating nutritious food. You mustn't increase your exposure to any virus when you're in big crowds where lots of people are coughing and sneezing.
M: I certainly spend a lot of time in department stores around the holidays buying gifts for people. So what can I do to fight off the illness?
W: Actually it's fairly simple. Get a lot of rest and eat well. And most of all, keep away from the crowd during the holidays.
M: That makes sense. Thank you very much.

W: Welcome to our program, Mr. Smith.
M: Thank you.
W: Mr. Smith, how long have you been a police officer?
M: I've been a police officer for thirty years.
W: Thirty years? And you've had different types of assignments on the police force, I guess.
M: Yeah, I've done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work, and now I'm in charge of investigations.
W: Mr. Smith, I think most people would say that being a police officer is very stressful. Would you agree?
M: Yes, but it depends on your assignment. I guess the biggest part of the stress is the fear of the unknown.
W: What do you mean, Mr. Smith?
M: Well, in patrol work, you don't know from moment to moment who you are talking to or what their reaction is going to be. Let's say, for example, a traffic police officer stops someone for a traffic violation. It seems as though that would be a very low-stress situation. However, many police officers get injured during routine traffic stops.

Hello, everyone. The Winter Carnival is coming soon. We prepare different kinds of activities for it. I'd like to take this opportunity to talk about our plan for the Winter Carnival this year. We plan to hold the event from January 10th to February 12th at the Sky Site. We also suggest an entrance fee of $10. You can also bring your children aged 12 or under. No admission charge for them. The site will be divided into six areas. In the center, there will be a flower show. It is a good place to take pictures. To the side of the flower show, there will be two areas for amusement rides. We will set up 30 rides in these areas.  This year, there will be two new events — a fancy dress competition and an ice sculpture exhibition. We will set up a tent for the fancy dress competition. If you are good at designing clothes, bring your works to the competition. Finally, next to the entrance, there will be four food shops where visitors can enjoy food from around the world, such as Italian food, Chinese food, Japanese food, Mexican food and so on. I have attached a map for your reference. You can pick one up at the ticket office. That's all. Thank you.
