III. Listening In
Task 1: Fear of Heights
Tony: Hey, Mary, some of us in the Outdoor Club are going camping this weekend. You interested?
Mary: Gee, I don’t know… where’re you planning to go?
Tony: Up into the mountains… We want to take advantage of the nice weather while it lasts.
Mary: The mountains… you mean climbing them?
Tony: Sure, many places have interesting mountains, but the ones here are the most beautiful I have seen—and only a few hours’ drive from here.
Mary: If I were to go, I wouldn’t appreciate the view. I’d have my eyes shut tight all the time. I’m
Scares stiff of heights.
Tony: You’ll be missing out on a lot of wonderful views.
Mary: Oh, Tony, I really prefer to stay at the foot of the mountain.
Tony: That’s Ok, Mary. Come anyway. You can skip the climbing—just stay in the camp and cook
and clean up for us.
Mary: That doesn’t sound like much fun. Maybe I should learn to overcome my fear of heights.
