[originaltext]M: Oh, I am not looking forward to this upcoming trip to Europe.

M: Oh, I am not looking forward to this upcoming trip to Europe.
W: But Europe is amazing! You’re going to Frankfurt, right? I’ve been there twice, and it’s a delightful city! You’ll love it!
M: Oh, I’m sure I’ll like it when I get there, that is, if I get there.
W: I’m not following you.
M: I’m terrified of flying! Every time I get on a plane, my heart starts beating faster, I sweat, and the sound from the airplane makes me sure we are going to crash. (6) It’s so exhausting that I arrive at my destination completely unnerved.
W: Wow! That doesn’t sound like fun. I assume this condition is quite common. I know lots of people who don’t like to fly.
M: Everyone should be afraid of flying! (7) After all, it’s completely unnatural! We are crammed into a metal tube that’s flying through the air at hundreds of kilometers an hour.
W: Yeah sure, but in fact, (8) your chances of being in a fatal accident is something like one in 5 million. Those are pretty good odds!
M: Yeah, I’ve read those statistics, but I guess when I’m driving at least I feel in control. I feel completely helpless when I’m on an airplane.
W: (9) You certainly picked the wrong profession. You are an international sales representative, so traveling is part of the job!
M: I know! I thought my fear would lessen the more I did it, but it’s been 10 years now and I’m still afraid of flying.
W: You know, the idea that you are more in control behind the wheel of a car than you are in an airplane might not be valid. Think about it: how much control do you have over road conditions or other drivers on the road? Very little, right?
M: That’s true.
W: (10-1) Have you ever tried pretending that you’re on a bus? My uncle uses this trick when he’s flying. Whenever the plane runs into some turbulence, he just closes his eyes and pretends he’s sitting on a bumpy bus.
M: Hmm...I’m not sure if that would work, but it’s worth a try.
W: Where do you usually sit on the plane?
M: As close as possible to an emergency exit.
W: (10-2) My uncle says the best place to sit is as close to the wings as possible because in his experience, the center of the plane is more stable.
M: That makes sense. I’ll try to find a seat near an emergency exit by the wings.
W: Of course, (10-3) if nothing else works, you can always see a doctor and perhaps he can prescribe some anti-anxiety medication for you.
M: I’d rather not use medications, but thanks for your advice.
