Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Юлия Ваулина, Джунни Дули 11 класс, Просвещение: Jim: Megan! You’re still smoking! You said you were going to give up two weeks ago! Don’t you know how bad it is for you? Think of all the illnesses you can get. Megan: I know all that, Jim. I’m not stupid. I’m just finding it really hard to give up. Jim: Have you tried? I mean really tried? There are so many therapies these days that can help. Megan: What do you take me for? I’ve tried everything under the sun. Nicotine patches, hypnosis… you name it. Jim: Well, I suppose I can’t talk. You know I used to smoke, don’t you? Megan: You? No way! Jim: Uh-huh. I took it up when I was at university and I was under a lot of pressure during exam time. I’m telling you, it was the worst thing I ever did, taking up smoking. I couldn’t play basketball any more without getting out of breath. I kept getting an awful cough. My clothes and hair stank. But I managed to quit a couple of years ago. I haven’t touched a cigarette since. Megan: So how did you do it? Jim: Well, like you, I felt I had tried everything. Nothing worked for me. I was really desperate. Then, my girlfriend said she was fed up with me smoking. She told me to give up or she would break up with me! Megan: Wow! So what on earth did you do? Jim: Well, I really didn’t want to lose my girlfriend, so I decided to give up smoking however hard it was! In the end, I went to an acupuncturist. There’s one at the health centre in town and he’s really good. I had three sessions and after that, I just didn’t feel the need for a cigarette any more. Megan: Yuck! I can’t imagine having needles stuck all over my body! I don’t think I could do that. Jim: Well, if giving up smoking means enough to you, you’ll try it. It was brilliant. It doesn’t hurt. In fact, you hardly feel it at all. Megan: Is it expensive? Jim: Well, no if you think of all the money you’ll save by not buying cigarettes… Megan: You’re right. Have you got the number?
