PRIMER PASO: En esta primera etapa concéntrate en el audio tratando de captar el sentido general de los comentarios. Por favor, no leas ahora la transcripción que se encuentra más abajo.

Sandra:	Health insurance bills, child-care bills, rent! Now that I'm going to school and only working part time, I have a hard time making ends meet.
Teddy:	Health insurance is so expensive, isn't it?
Sandra:	Yeah! My company used to pay for it when I was working full time.
Teddy:	And child care isn't cheap either, is it?
Sandra:	No, it's not. After I pay for rent and groceries, almost all my money goes to pay for my son's day care.
Teddy:	Your college should provide free day care for students with children.
Sandra:	I think so, too. But they don't have any services like that. Oh, listen to me. I'm always complaining, aren't I? Anyway, how are things with you?
Teddy:	Oh, not bad, but I'm still not sure what I'm going to do after I graduate.
Sandra:	Yeah, it's hard to find a job these days, isn't it?
Teddy:	It's not that. I'm just not sure if going to law school was the right thing to do.
Sandra:	What do you mean?
Teddy:	I only have a few more months before I graduate, and I'm wondering why I did this. I don't want to be a lawyer. It all seems like a waste of time now.
Sandra:	So what are you going to do?
Teddy:	Well, I'd like to move to Mexico and open a coffee shop, but I think my parents would kill me.
