2-- good morning, Gav! Did you sleep well last night?
1-- I slept like a baby. I fell asleep right away last night, didn't wake up once, and didn't have nay nightmares!
2-- that's great news! You look much more relaxed than you did yesterday.
1-- I feel much better, but I'm still worried about something.
2-- what's that?
1-- well, I have to drive to school for a meeting this morning, and I'm going to end up getting stuck in rush-hour traffic.
2-- that's annoying, but nothing to worry about.
1-- for me, traffic jams are quite stressful, because I'm pretty impatient. How can I prevent myself from getting stressed if I get stuck in a traffic jam?
2-- just btrathe deeply when you feel yourself getting upset.
1-- Ok, I'll try that.
2-- is there anything else bothering you?
1-- just one more thing. A school called me this morning to see if I could teach a few classes this weekend and I don't know what to do.
2-- do you have any other plans this weekend?
1-- I'm supposed to work on a paper that'd due on Monday.
2-- try not to take on more than you can handle.
1-- you're right. I probably should just work on my paper. Thanks!

2--担心什么?
1--呃,我今天上午要去学校开个会,我肯定会遇到上班高峰而堵在路上.
