Liz: It was a good evening, Tom. Thank you!

Tom: You're welcome. I liked it too.

Liz: Emmm… It's getting dark. Could we go home now?

Tom: Why? It's only 9 o'clock. Why don't we … What's the matter, Liz?! You're getting pale! Are you OK?

Liz: Sorry, I should have told you that I have nyctophobia…

Tom: What's that?

Liz: Well… I'm afraid of darkness and dark places.

Tom: Gosh, that doesn't sound good. If I had known beforehand, I would have offered to meet earlier.

Liz: It's not your fault. I didn't think that the concert would finish later than it had been planned.

Tom: Emmm… Are there any symptoms of this phobia?

Liz: I can feel dizzy and sometimes start to panic.

Tom: How do you feel now? Any signs of dizziness?

Liz: No, no… I'm alright… I just need to get home till it gets too dark.

Tom: OK. I'll get a taxi and you'll be at home soon.

Liz: Great idea! Thank you. And have you got any phobias?

Tom: Well, not really. I'm afraid of heights, but I can't say that it's a phobia. But my brother is extremely afraid of being in enclosed places. He never closes the door to his room.

Liz: Oh, I understand. Claustrophobia is a very widespread phobia. And my mother has agoraphobia that is opposite to fear of enclosed places.

Tom: Well, here's the taxi. Thank you once again for a great evening. We can meet earlier tomorrow if you don't mind.

Liz: That would be great. Thank you too. See you.
