Flight attendant: What’s the matter, sir? You look pale.
Benjamin: I feel dizzy and weak. And I’m having this pain in my ear. I think I am sick.
Flight attendant: Are you often traveling by plane?
Benjamin: No, this is the second time.
Flight attendant: That’s right. It’s normal if you don’t often take the plane. Just relax a little bit.
Benjamin: Why this happens to me when I am on the plane? I feel bad.
Flight attendant: Don’t worry, sir. It’s just because of the lower pressure.
Benjamin: What should I do about it?
Flight attendant: You may feel much better if you chew some gum or peanuts.
Benjamin: OK, thanks. Does it work really? I’ll give a try.
Flight attendant: Are you feeling better now? Do you need some pills?
Benjamin: Much better. Thank you. I just feel tired but I can’t fall asleep.

Benjamin: I am not used to wearing that. Thanks.
