[speaker001:] Hello, Jim. What was the film like?
[speaker002:] Awful. It was a complete waste of time.
[speaker001:] Why? What was it about?
[speaker002:] It was about a married couple. They had to live with the wife's mother, because they didn't have enough money to buy a house of their own.
[speaker001:] A lot of young people have to do that.
[speaker002:] Yes. but the husband had to work overtime three times a week, so he was always tired.
[speaker001:] lt sounds like the story of my life.
[speaker002:] Yes, it does, doesn't it? But this man was always over-tired, and he couldn't sleep.So he used to take two sleeping pill every night.
[speaker001:] I take sleeping pills sometimes.
[speaker002:] Yes, but not two every night. Anyway, the strain was too much for him. He had nervous breakdown and had to go to hospital.
[speaker001:] It sounds a very depressing film.
[speaker002:] Not really. His wife was able to find a good job as an interpreter, because she could speak French and German fluently. After a few months 'work, she had a better job than her husband. So in the end,
[speaker001:] I don't know. My wife used to speak French. I must tell her to brush it up.
