A, show your concern about B.

You’re not looking yourself these days, Jane. What’s the matter?

B, respond to A’s concern, saying you get the holiday blues.

Oh, nothing. I guess I’m just a little blue after the holidays.

A, ask for the reason why B is blue after the holidays.

Why? Didn’t you have a good time?

B, explain how you spent your holidays and how much you enjoyed them.

That’s the problem. I went to Niagara Falls and saw so many wonderful things. It was amazing!

A, say that you don’t understand what the problem is.

I’m confused. That sounds like a great vacation. So what’s the problem?

B, account for your problem.

I’m back here! Compared to Niagara Falls, home is pretty boring.
