M: Oh. That sounds good. A friend of mine is visiting from out of town. He'll like that. 

W: Yes, but we have to put in the order for the restaurant in advance. You have a choice between the chicken with vegetables or the beef with rice. 

M: We'll both have the chicken. 

W: Here are your tickets. And by the way, we're expecting clear skies tonight. You won't want to miss taking photos of the city's skyline.  

W: Alex, what are you looking for? 

M: I've lost the medicine the doctor gave me. 

W: Well, you sometimes leave things in the car. 

M: It's not there, Lauren. I've looked and anyway, I walked to the doctor's yesterday. 

W: You could phone and ask for some more medicine.  

M: But I'd have to pay more money. And I really don't want to walk to the doctor's again. I'll just keep looking — it must be here somewhere.

W: Didn't you have a bag with you when you came back from the doctor's? 

M: Yes, but I've already checked the bag. Maybe I left it next to my glasses. I was wearing them when I read the instructions on the bottle. My glasses are on the kitchen table, so the medicine must be there.  

W: Well, go and get it then!

W: Hello everyone, I'm talking to Noah Kelly, who is a big fan of horse riding. Noah, why did you start horse riding?

M: Well, as a small child I never had much interest in horses though I wasn't scared of them. My older sister started horse-riding lessons. I used to see the look on her face when she came home — really cheerful — so that's why I decided to try it.  

W: Then do you think horse riding makes you fitter? 

M: Actually, I was always pretty fit because I liked walking. But being with horses so much has made me calmer — more willing to wait for things.  

W: Do you take part in horse-riding competitions? 

M: Yeah. I thought they were just for people who own their horses, but you can borrow or even hire one easily enough. I went with a group of friends from the horse-riding club. There was so much to do though — both before and while we were there. I was exhausted afterwards. 

W: Will you carry on riding when you're older? 

M: Mm. I watch the little kids having their lessons at the club, and I wonder about teaching, but I'm not sure if it's for me. What really attracts me is the idea of training horses.  You know, the ones they use for races.

W: Thank you, Noah.

W: I'm Rachel from the University of Chicago. I've been attracted by happiness most of my life. When I was a small girl, I noticed that though many adults were wealthy and educated, they were unhappy and this sometimes led them to behave in strange ways. Therefore, I wanted to understand what happiness was and how to achieve it. Then I decided to study psychology.  

At university, I tried to discover what made people happy. I started by studying creative people like artists  because they devoted their lives to doing what they wanted to, rather than things that brought them money. Later I invented a study method. Ordinary people were asked to keep an electronic machine for a week, which gave out a sound eight times a day. Every time it did so, they wrote down where they were, what they were doing, how they felt and how much they were concentrating. I found that as with creative people, ordinary people are the happiest when concentrating hard. So the most obvious cause of happiness is concentration.  

I have spent my life in studying happiness, and my belief that I have found the key to its secret has increased my happiness greatly.
