Question
Write down the conversation between Shawn and Tricia.
Answer
Shawn: How's life treating you?
Tricia: It's been tough lately, feeling a bit down.
Shawn: What's been bothering you? Why the rough patch?
Tricia: Well, I moved to a new school a few months ago, and the new classmates aren't as friendly as my old ones.
Shawn: That's rough. I'm sorry to hear that. Just hang in there. Sometimes people can be a bit standoffish at first.
Tricia: Thanks. I know things can get better. I guess I could try to be more open-minded too.
Shawn: That's a great idea.
