W: Nowadays, more and more people like to go traveling in their spare time.  Do you enjoy traveling?
M: Yes, I like it very much.  If I have time, I always go traveling.
W: If the journey lasts more than 2 hours, it seems very boring to most people.  What do you do to prevent boredom on a long journey?
M: If I go on a journey, I try and take a particular magazine, a novel, a newspaper and my walkman. And I try and read for fifteen minutes and listen to the walkman for fifteen minutes, then get up to go and buy a cup of tea. I try and have various things to do throughout the journey so that the journey does not seem as long and boring as it can often be.
W: What about crossword puzzles?
M: No,I don’t really bother with crossword puzzles.
W: What about engaging in conversations with people?
M: Well, I think this might be another English thing. I just don’t do it. Partly because ! think they might think I’m taking liberties in talking to them.  But if somebody starts to talk to me and if they are interesting, then I’ll talk to them. If they are boring, then the walkman goes on.
W: I see.  You don’t want other people to invade your space.
M: That’s it.
