Task² 1: I hate flying.

Sue: Dave, I have some excellent news. I won first prize in the computer software⁴ competition.
Dave: That’s wonderful news. What’s the prize?
Sue: I’ve won a trip to Sydney.
Dave: Wow! That’s great—but how will you get there?
Sue: Fly, of course. It’s much too far to swim.
Dave: I hate flying. With just the thought of not having my feet safe on the ground, three things happen: my stomach turns, my face goes pale, and I break into a cold sweat⁵.
Sue: But if you want to travel, you have to fly.
Dave: That’s true. But if I were to fly, I’d have to get some medicines from the doctor.
Sue: That’s must cause you a lot of trouble.
Dave: Well, I have no other choice.
