Task 1 what a clumsy man!

Maria:	Jack, can you help me move this heavy box?
Jack:	No problem, Maria. Here let me lift this end... Oops!
Maria:	Ouch! My foot! Come on, can't you be a little more cautious?
Jack:	I'm so sorry. It was an accident. No need to be furious!
Maria:	You're always so clumsy, Jack. I'm really losing my patience with all the stupid mistakes you make around the office.
Jack:	Calm down, Maria; I'll certainly be more careful next time. This was just an accident.
Maria:	If you aren't more careful, then next time someone could be badly hurt. Oh, look! The glass in the box is all broken now. Mr. Johnson is going to fly into a rage.
Jack:	Oh no! What can I do to keep him from hitting the roof?
Maria:	Well, you can begin by helping me clean up the mess and then honestly tell him about your mistake.
Jack:	Maybe if I offer to pay for the damage, he won't be so angry. What do you think?
Maria:	That might help solve the problem, though it could be quite expensive to replace it.
Jack:	Well, I'm willing to do what it takes to keep Mr. Johnson from exploding. I need to keep my job!

Task 2 causes of depression

Hello, everyone. Today I invite you to join me in an exploration of the causes of depression. There are many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.

Heredity certainly plays a role. The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.

Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain, called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear, it is known that antidepressant medications do relieve certain symptoms of depression.

Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one's personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is frequently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.

Another factor causing depression is one's early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can increase the likelihood of depression later in life.

Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.

It is worth noting that those living with someone suffering from depression experience increased anxiety, which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.
