M: oh, Iris, it’s about the job with the PR company.
I: it’s a great opportunity. You should be happy with the offer.
M: but my mother won’t allow me to accept any part-time job. I’m afraid she will say no again.
I: why? It’s unfair. You can learn a lot from it.
M: she says a part-time job is cursed blessing. It takes so much time and energy that I won’t be able to focus on my study.
I: that may be true. But I’m sure you’re able to find a balance between them. Why not try it?
M: I turned down quite a few offers before for her sake. But I’m a senior now, I don’t want to miss the chance this time.
I: I agree with you but I think you really need to talk to your mother and tell her what's on your mind.
M: I’ll try, but what if she insists?
I: just let her know that the experience will be both amazing and rewarding. And more importantly, you can manage both your study and the job.
M: do you think it will work?
I: sure. Every cloud has its silver lining. Just try.
M: ok, I’ll do that. Thank you, Iris.
I: sure. Good luck, Maria!

Simon: sure, here you are.
W: thanks, I didn't expect the dish to be so spicy. Are you ok?
S: yeah, I think the food is alright, it's not too spicy though it's a little salty for me. But you are Chinese, you should have known better.
W: well, not every Chinese can handle spicy food in the way people from Sichuan and Cuizhou provinces can. Back where I come from, people don't eat a lot of pepers and chilies.
S: Oh, I see how this food can be really hard for you. I can sympathize with that. I stayed in Sichuan for a year. The food was difficult at the beginning. Every dish was so spicy. After a while, I got used to the taste, and now I won't consider anything a real dish if it isn't spicy.
W: yeah, you can increase you tolerance for spicy food, but so far, I haven't had the need or the opportunity. Every timr I try spicy food, it is a total disaster for my nose and eyes.
S: I completely understand. I didn't intend on liking spicy food at first either, but when you have no other choicess, you've got to adapt.
W: yeah, I guess that's a typical example of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do."
S: exactly.
