JACK: You know, Ava, I’ve gained a lot of weight recently. I really wish I could learn to control my appetite. AVA: Are you under a lot of stress, Jack? They say that people eat more when they feel stressed. JACK: Well, that’s not really my problem. I just like to eat, especially salty snacks. AVA: Hmm. It might be a good idea to talk with a diet counselor or a nutritionist. JACK: I’ve already tried that. I talked with someone who told me to eat more fruits and vegetables. The problem is, I don’t like most fruits and vegetables. AVA: Well, what about joining a weight-control group? I know someone who joined a group and found it very helpful. He said it was easier to lose weight when he could talk with other people who had the same problem. JACK: Maybe I should try that. I know I can’t change my eating habits by myself.

ALICIA: Hey, Alex. I wonder what happened to Aaron? He was supposed to meet us here at six, and it’s already a quarter to seven. ALEX: His car may have broken down again, Alicia. You know how his car is always breaking down. ALICIA: That was his old car. He got a new car last week, and his new car works fine. ALEX: Oh. I didn’t know that. Well, he might have just forgotten to come. ALICIA: That doesn’t sound like Aaron, either. He never forgets anything. ALEX: Well, I don’t know, then. I saw Aaron yesterday, and the last thing I said to him was, “See you at Alicia’s on Thursday.” Uh, by the way, today is Thursday, isn’t it? ALICIA: No, Alex, it’s Wednesday! You told Aaron to meet us here tomorrow. You told him the wrong day. ALEX: Uh-oh. Sorry, Alicia. I’d better text him and explain.
