M: Ms. Brown, do you have a second to go over my last homework assignment with me? I think I struggled a bit with the grammar.

W: Have you finished your presentation for tomorrow's environmental science class?

M: Almost, but I'm having trouble finding the latest data on air quality improvement in cities. I know there have been important improvements, I just don't know how to show it.

W: Have you looked at the national environmental agency's website? They updated their numbers last month, and they usually include reports and charts that could be very helpful.

M: Thanks, that could really help me show some data more clearly and give me some useful facts to support my points about reducing pollution.

W: Also, consider talking about the new laws. They have led to better air in several big cities.

W: I'm thinking of joining the new cultural exchange club at school. It seems like a good way to learn about other countries.

M: That's a great idea! They mainly organize events where students share their traditions and talk about world issues, right? It's a great way to learn more.

W: Exactly! It sounds fun, learning and appreciating different views through direct student interactions. They learn how to play games from different countries. They also have guest speakers and cultural nights where you can participate in different traditions. And everybody loves the international food fair. That one might be my favorite.

M: Joining a club could really make your school life more interesting. Plus, you'll likely make new friends from around the world.

W: That's what I'm hoping for. I think it will help me see the world differently. That's something I really wanted in my school life, considering the small town I grew up in.

M: This food smells delicious!

W: Thanks. But it's not for us to eat. I'm taking dinner to Rachel tonight. She's been having a hard time, and I thought it would make her feel better.

M: I'm sorry to hear she's having a difficult time. What happened?

W: Well, she lost her job last week.

M: What happened? Did she get fired?

W: Not exactly, but she was let go. She had been working at a law firm, but the firm hadn't been getting many cases, so they had to let some of their staff members go.

M: Will she get unemployment benefits?

W: I think so, but she will be embarrassed about living on them. Besides, she loves being a lawyer, and she'd rather work than sit at home.

M: I understand. But at least she'll have a little money to pay her rent while she looks for another job.

W: Yeah. But actually, I was hoping you could help her find a job. Isn't your friend Theodore a lawyer? Is his office hiring?

M: They might be. I'll give him a call tomorrow and let you know.

M: I don't think I appreciate traditional festivals as much as my family.

W: What do you mean?

M: I'm just not that into them. They have many extra parts involved. I like to celebrate with the people I love in a comfortable environment. My favorite holiday is the summer festival.

W: Is it because of our tradition to swim in the pool every year before the parade?

M: No, though that is fun. It's because after the parade we go to my parents' giant barbecue with all their friends. Everyone brings a dish of food or drinks and then we talk and tell stories until the stars come out.

W: People do that on traditional festivals too, you know! I think it just depends on your family's traditions.

M: For some reason, I just feel that most people feel the need to buy expensive things that are unnecessary during traditional festivals. There is no expectation of getting or giving gifts. It feels like you are forced into being nice, because of a date.

W: Yes, but you don't have to do any of that to celebrate. My family makes gifts for one another or we make promises, saying we will help each other with projects or housework.

M: Thank you, Ms. Johnson. I'm honored to talk to your class today about something I know a thing or two about: being afraid. As you can see, I was born without arms. Every time I fell down, I was scared that I wouldn't be able to get up. My parents were too poor to afford plastic arms for me. But luckily one of my doctors, Dr. Wilson, showed me how to use my feet to do everything. Once I could do a few things by myself, I didn't feel scared of being alone anymore. In high school, everyone in my class made fun of me. Every morning, I was afraid of what they would say. That was the hardest and darkest time in my life. But my teacher Mrs. Dalton made sure I stayed focused on my schoolwork. She taught me to be strong and confident. Once I realized that it didn't matter what other people thought of me, I wasn't scared of being in the crowds anymore. Now that I have my own successful law company in Manchester, I can afford those plastic arms. Maybe I will get them one day. But for now, my missing arms remind me every day that I don't have anything to be afraid of.
