Listening: Obsessive Behavior


Kathy always obsesses about English. She constantly worries about taking the TOEFL test. When she worries, she always rubs her hands together. They are always chafed. Her friend Gabrielle is the opposite. He always ops to remain relaxed. He always reprimands Kathy. “Kathy, stop obsessing about English dammit!”. Kathy never stands up to Gabrielle directly. She just says, “I’m sorry, please don’t be mad”. Then she says, “Hmm, but let’s go to the library now and study English please..”. Gabrielle always nixes this idea. “hell no! we’ll not studying English!”. Kathy feels unsettled, but she says hesitantly, “Oh! okay”. However in her head she silently starts to review English grammar. Then she feels much better.
