Activity 2 听力文本 （I=Interviewer D=Dr. Maguire） I：Good afternoon. Today we’re going to talk about conflict，and how to deal with it. We have Dr. Maguire，from City University with us today. Good afternoon，Dr. Maguire. D： Good afternoon. I： Dr. Maguire，in our daily life，we may come across various conflicts.

D： Another possibility is to ask for help from somebody outside the situation. I： What do you mean exactly D： Well，this is when you call on somebody outside the situation，and they decide what should happen. This can be useful，especially if the conflict is serious.

Without doubt，the best thing to do is to try to negotiate with the other person. I： Right. Thank you very much，Dr. Maguire. Let’s have a break and we’ll be back soon.
