Conversation A:
Carla: Dan, did you remember to make that invitation list for our New Year’s party?
Dan: Oh, sorry, Carla. I’ve been putting in so many hours at the office. I just haven’t had
the time.
Carla: I know. You’ve been working so much recently. I hardly ever see you.
Dan: Well, I don’t really have a choice. The boss gave me this big project to finish.
Carla: Your boss is always giving you big projects.
Dan: I know, but it’s not just me—the guy’s got everyone working hard.
Carla: Well, I hope you’re not going to invite him to the party.
Dan: Definitely not.

Conversation B:
Carla: What about the other guys at your office?
Dan: Actually, I was thinking of asking Harry. He’s been helping me a lot this
week—without him there’s no way I’d ever get this project done.
Carla: Don’t you think he’ll feel a little uncomfortable? I mean, he won’t know anyone at
the party.
Dan: I doubt it—he’s not the shy type. He loves meeting new people.
Carla: OK. So, invite him. But hurry up with that list. I need to mail out the invitations
tomorrow.

Conversation C:
Dan: Hey, Carla. Here’s that invitation list for the party.
Carla: Finally! Let’s have a look. Hmm. . . You want to invite John?
Dan: Yeah, why not? He is our neighbor.
Carla: But he’s such a pain in the neck! Last week he complained that our tree was
dropping too many leaves in his yard.
Dan: Did he really?
Carla: And he thinks he’s such a brain. I was outside replacing the porch light and he
gave me this half-hour lecture on what type of light bulb to use.
Dan: Yeah, that’s true. He thinks he has the answer to everything.

COMPOSICIÓN

35. RES:
(Sample response:) There are pros and cons to both optimism and pessimism. Optimists tend to be very
hopeful and always expect the best results. This perspective can be uplifting and inspiring; however, it is not
always realistic. Pessimists, on the other hand, tend to be more cynical and focus on the problems of a given
situation. While it is important to recognize and acknowledge difficulties, this perspective can make people
want to give up. Being flexible enough to be able to go back and forth between these two perspectives in
different situations is essential.

36. RES:
For me, finding balance in life can be quite challenging at times. I often over-schedule myself and find that I
have no time for myself and not enough time for my family and friends. Some of my friends say that I am a
workaholic, but the truth is just that my boss can be a real tyrant. They say I need to stop worrying about
work so much and remember to enjoy life more. I know that they are right and plan to remember to make
more time for the important people in my life from now on.
