I am used to friendly opening exchanges when doing business. Here in Chicago, things are different. There is no time for getting to know one another. This does not seem _1_ to me. There is no chance to develop a sense of trust when people meet to talk over issues. There are no _2_ like tea or coffee before discussing business, though this is a(n) _3_ in my country. When we discuss business it starts with a(n) _4_ chat. I think that it is important for business partners to get familiar with each other first and to feel relaxed. If the exchange is too _5_ , there is a risk that something will be forgotten. Some possibilities go without being _6_ when there is too much pressure. I dont believe this is the best strategy for proper communication. Besides, the _7_ is that they just dont care about you as an individual here. You are basically just another _8_ of making money.

Other than my father, no one had come out to speak against my relationship with Will. It did not seem _5_ for them to show their resistance to our marriage in this way.

We wanted not only to love one another, but also to _8_ racial hatred by loving one another. We probably werent being all that _9_, but we did succeed with one person.

One thing that seems to _4_ love is distance. The common idea is that the love between people grows as they are _5_. Sometimes it is true that longing for someone who has gone overseas becomes more _6_. Something that _7_ love is danger.

He is fifteen years old and until recently I had always been grateful for how easy he has been to raise. Lately, though, he has _1_ to listen to what I say.

The other day I asked him to come straight home after school, but instead he _3_ and stayed out until ten oclock. Later I found out that he had _4_ school completely that day. I found out that he was with a(n) _5_ of boys who often cause trouble. I decided to _6_ him to do anything with those boys, but he didnt listen to me.
