A: "Hey Jane. How are you doing?"
                              
B: "Hi Jack. I'm doing great."
A: "I hope you haven't been waiting too long."
B: "No. I just got here a few minutes ago."
A: "Do you know if smoking is allowed here?"
B: "I think this is a no-smoking place. Do you want to go somewhere else?"
A: "That's alright. I don't need to smoke."
B: "Why don't you quit?"
A: "I never thought about it. All my friends smoke, and we hang out a lot."
B: "So do you smoke by yourself?"
A: "When I started I didn't, but after a few months I started smoking at home. Usually when I'm bored."
B: "Do you smoke cause you're bored?"
A: "Yeah. It helps to kill the time. I also think it's out of habit. I'm so used to having a cigarette every now and then."
B: "How much do you smoke in a day?"
A: "I smoke about a half pack a day."
B: "Well, I think you should quit. You know it's bad for you?"
A: "I always knew it was bad, but I never thought about it."
B: "You better start thinking about it now. You might not feel the difference now, but after 10 years of smoking, you might feel it and then it will be too late."
A: "That's a good point. I'll try to quit."
B: "Good. And if you need any support, I'll always be here for you."
A: "Thanks."

                TRADUCCION
A: "Hola Jane. ¿Cómo estás?"
B: "Hola Jack. Estoy muy bien".
R: "Espero que no hayas esperado demasiado".
B: "No. Acabo de llegar hace unos minutos".
R: "¿Sabe si se permite fumar aquí?"
B: "Creo que este es un lugar para no fumadores. ¿Quieres ir a otro lugar?"
R: "Está bien. No necesito fumar".
B: "¿Por qué no renuncias?"
R: "Nunca pensé en eso. Todos mis amigos fuman y salimos mucho".
B: "Entonces, ¿fuma usted solo?"
R: "Cuando comencé no lo hacía, pero después de unos meses comencé a fumar en casa. Generalmente cuando estoy aburrido".
B: "¿Fumas porque estás aburrido?"
R: "Sí. Ayuda a matar el tiempo. También creo que es una costumbre. Estoy tan acostumbrada a fumarme un cigarrillo de vez en cuando".
B: "¿Cuánto fuma en un día?"
R: "Fumo alrededor de medio paquete al día".
B: "Bueno, creo que deberías dejarlo. ¿Sabes que es malo para ti?"
R: "Siempre supe que era malo, pero nunca pensé en eso".
B: "Es mejor que empiece a pensar en ello ahora. Puede que no sienta la diferencia ahora, pero después de 10 años de fumar, puede que lo sienta y entonces será demasiado tarde".
R: "Ese es un buen punto. Intentaré dejar de fumar".
B: "Bien. Y si necesitas apoyo, siempre estaré aquí para ti".
A: "Gracias".
