Question 3
. Listen to the conversation. 
(Man) 
Hey, Lin? I have a question for you. 
(Woman) 
What is it? 
(Man) 
So maybe you’ve noticed I’ve gained about ten or twelve pounds since 
the year started. 
(Woman) 
Ah, the freshman fifteen. You don’t look fat, if that’s what you’re worried 
about. 
(Man) 
Not at all. It makes me look less like a skinny kid. But, I think that I’ve 
gained it kind of fast, and what I don’t want is to gain another fifteen by 
the end of the year, you know what I mean? 
(Woman) 
Why are you asking me? 
(Man) 
Because I see how you eat healthy and I’ve seen you go running a few 
times. 
(Woman) 
OK, so it’s exercise and food. 
(Man) 
So, do you think if I did a little exercise I’d lose weight? The problem is I 
don’t like exercise. 
(Woman) 
Yeah, well, you need to get over it because exercise is what keeps your 
body from falling apart. But, actually, Rob, just a little exercise isn’t going

(Man) 
Really? So I have to not eat sweets and stuff? That’s crazy…I’m not 
even twenty yet, and I have to …

(Woman) 
(interrupting) No, you can still eat sweets, just maybe not a huge piece of 
cake or a litre of soda. Cut back a little 
(Man) 
I don’t really want to watch what I eat. I prefer to eat as much as I want 
and whatever I want. So, I can’t just go for a walk or play a game or two 
of Frisbee
®
every week to lose weight?
(Woman) 
Here’s the thing. If you’re not going to make changes in what you eat, 
then you have to do a lot of exercise – like an hour a day. 
(Man) 
An hour! Maybe I could join the freestyle Frisbee
®
team, but even they 
don’t meet every day. I’d have to do two or three different sports.
(Woman) 
Well, that’s just reality Rob. You’ve got to burn more than you eat. 
(Man) 
So I have to eat way less or exercise way more. 
(Woman) 
Or eat a little less and exercise a little more. Somehow you’ve got to 
change the balance. You can’t eat like a teenager but sit around like an 
office worker.
