W1: I admire my grandmother, actually. She’s not around anymore, but she was a teacher like I want to be and she taught me so much about life.

M1: Nelson Mandela, I admire him a lot because er, not only because he was imprisoned, which er, and he survived that for many years and wasn’t bitter.

T = Tim; J = John; P = Peggy

T: So what about your memory, Peggy? How good is it?

P: It’s OK, which is lucky ‘cause I need to remember lots of things.

J: Like what?

P: Well, I’m a sales rep for a publishing company so I’m usually out visiting schools, trying to sell books.

J: So you need to remember ... what exactly?

P: Oh, lots of things. The worst thing when I started was just trying to remember how to get to these schools in my car. I used to get lost all the time. I’m not very good at directions.

T: Oh, I see.

J: But it’s funny: For, for other things I have a terrible memory. I’m totally useless. I always forget birthdays and dates. I’m always late for things. It’s just ... yeah ... luckily, I’m OK with my lines. P: What about you, Tim?

T: I5m probably the same as all other students. At least all other history students. I have to memorize dates and also names. But it5s not that difficult because you read about them so much you can’t really forget them. But for other things I have a really bad memory. I can never remember jokes or films. Some times I’m watching a film and after an hour I realize I’ve seen it already. I’m
