A: People are frightened of lots and lots of different things. Are you frightened of anything in particular?

B: Well, I’m scared of dogs.

A: Really? What are you afraid of?

B: I don’t know exactly. They just make me nervous, and I’m scares to death when a dog barks at

me.

A: If you’re scared of dogs, you’ll miss a lot of fun. They are our good friends.

B: Maybe you are right.

A: To overcome this fear, you could find a doctor to help you get rid of that fear of dogs.

B: That’s a good idea. Thank you.
