Why don't you go to the gym with me sometime?
Peter: Hello, Laura. Where are you going with that big bag?
Laura: Hello, Peter. I'm going to the gym. You know, I have to keep fit. I try to go three times a week, but I'm busy, so I can't always arrive on time.
Peter: I know there are more women working out than men. What is the main reason for your fitness? For health or for beauty?
Laura: To be honest, they are both. For women, beauty is always a very important consideration.
Peter: If they are honest, most people who exercise will admit that they also want to look better, not just for health reasons.
Laura: What about you? Do you often exercise?
Peter: For exercise and entertainment, I often take a walk-sometimes 10 to 20 kilometers at a time-but I never go to the gym like you.
Laura: Well, walking is good exercise. How about sports?
Peter: Not since I was at school. I used to like playing baseball, but now it is impossible to get enough people together to play a game. I usually just watch sports programs on TV.
Laura: I often play tennis with my friends, and sometimes I go swimming and cycling by myself.
Peter: Oh, I forgot about it. I also go cycling sometimes. I often go swimming during holidays, but it's just for fun.
Laura: Why don't you go to the gym with me sometime? I can give you a visitor card.
Peter: Well, maybe one day, but I'm lazy about this kind of thing.

Watch the game
Allen: Betty, are you going to watch the football match today?
Betty: No, but I will watch it on TV with some friends.
Allen: Didn't you get a ticket?
Betty: I didn't try. I really don't go to the games very often.
Allen: But don't you like going? Don't you think it's exciting to be a part of the crowd?
Betty: Oh, of course, there is nothing like the atmosphere of sports events: cheers, all the energy. But sometimes it is too inconvenient to get in and out of the stadium before and after the game. If you watch a game with friends, or in a bar or restaurant. ...
Allen: ... You have basically created your own crowd.
Betty: That's right. Another reason why I like watching sports games on TV is that I find it easier to watch games on TV.
Allen: Yes, it is sometimes difficult to track the ball when you are sitting in the stands.
Betty: Especially when your seat is high in the grandstand, far away from the stadium.
Allen: Sometimes it's like when you look at it from an airplane.
Betty: Excellent sports commentators on TV will also increase your understanding and enjoyment of the game.
Allen: After listening to your words, I began to wonder how they could sell tickets for these games!

Did you hear the weather forecast?
Allen: Oh, look at the sky, Michelle! It's starting to get cloudy.
Michelle: I see it. I hope it won't rain. I thought it would be fine today.
Allen: When they choose today as the date of the annual picnic, that's certainly what the department wants.
Michelle: You can't have a picnic without good weather. Sunshine is needed for eating, playing and entertainment.
Allen: Yes, sunshine-but not too much! Do you remember last year?
Michelle: Of course I like it. It's too hot, so all we do is look for shade and ways to avoid the sun.
Allen: Nobody wants to take part in any planned activities. All we want is a cold drink. Then I dozed off.
Michelle: If only there was a breeze to cool us down. ...
Allen: But no. There is only a burning sun, there is not a cloud in the sky, and the temperature seems to be getting higher and higher.
Michelle: Obviously, we don't have this problem this year. Allen, did you listen to the weather forecast? Will it rain?
Allen: I don't know. I didn't watch the weather forecast. But if it rains, it may just be a short shower, which will make the weather cooler. That may not be bad.

A thunderstorm
Lili: Look, Betty, it's all dark!
Betty: Oh, wow. A thunderstorm is coming. But I guess it won't last long.
Lili: Yes, about 20 minutes. It feels like the end of the world. Then the sun will come out again.
Betty: I like this storm. Summer is dramatic. What do you think, Lily?
Lili: Yes, these storms do come suddenly in summer. It seems that I am often found without an umbrella.
Betty: But getting caught in the rain occasionally in summer is not so terrible. Now, if you are soaked to the skin on a cold and dreary winter day, it is really terrible.
Lili: That's right. Ah, it's starting to rain now. Here it comes. Yes, it began to rain heavily.
Betty: Lightning and thunder are coming.
Lili: At least it will clear up later this afternoon, and it will be sunny tonight.
Betty: That's good, because I'm going to meet some friends tonight.
Lili: Well, it is likely that you will have a very pleasant evening, because this storm will take away some moisture.
