A: "Why are you so quiet?"
B: "My girlfriend just broke up with me."
A: "You must feel terrible now."
B: "Yeah."
A: "I remember my first break up. It was the worst feeling in the world. I
was crying everyday for three months. And slowly, it got better. I know you'll
feel better too."
B: "You've been through this too?"
A: "Yeah. I remember it very clearly. The pain makes it easy to remember.
I know you're really hurting right now, but you know many people experience
break ups."
B: "But it hurts too much."
A: "I know it's painful, but it's only temporary. After the pain goes
away, you'll find other girls."
B: "What if I don't want to find another girl?"
A: "You'll change your mind. Look at everyone in the world. They all break
up and move on. The faster you understand this, the quicker you will
recover."
B: "You're right."
A: "I also know you must still have strong feelings for her, but try to
think of all the bad things. You know she didn't treat you that well. Is that
the person you want to spend the rest of your life with?"
B: "Yeah. Thanks for the talk."
A: "I'll give you a call later. We should hang out. It's good to be around
people."
B: "Ok. I'll talk to you later."
You should read the Conversation Dialog to help you study after going through
