Lesson 7 – Step 1 – Reading

Goal

Let’s start the lesson with some reading. You can read it on your own or play the audio and follow along.

Once you have finished, you can go to the next step.

I need advice!

Jane: Hi Megan, we haven’t had coffee together for some time, how is everything going with Ryan? I want to know everything!

Megan: Well… It’s going well I guess. 

Jane: You don´t look very convinced or happy, what’s wrong?

Megan: Everything is ok, but you know men…, they don’t always realise what we want or need. What would you do if he asked you to pay the bill on our very first romantic date?

Jane: oh! If Mathew asked me to pay on our first date, I would smile and say something to make him realise.

Megan: Ok, and what would you do if he kept looking at his phone when we are out walking in the park?

Jane: Sometimes men don’t realise because nobody has told them nicely. If I were you, I would wait until you are both calm and tell him.

Megan: I did, but he got angry.

Jane: I guess you should try not to accuse him or make him feel bad. A relationship is a process where both of you have to know each other and change for the best. I am sure you need to change too.

Megan: That´s true! Thank you very much for your help! What would I do without you? How can I ever repay you?

Jane: Well… Maybe you can start by buying your friend a piece of that amazing chocolate cake!

Megan: Yes, and I´ll buy a piece for Ryan later.
