Why Don't You Join Me at the Gym Sometime?


Peter: Hi, Laura. Where are you heading with that big bag?


Laura: Hi, Peter. I'm off to the gym. I've got to stay in shape, you known. I try to go three times a week, but I'm busy so I can't always make it.


Peter: I know more women who work out than men. What's the main reason you work out? For your health, or to look good?


Laura: To be honest, for both. With women, good looks are always a very important consideration.


Peter: If they were honest, most men who work out would admit that they also do it to look better, and not merely for health reasons.


Laura: How about you? Do you get any regular exercise?


Peter: I do a lot of walking, for exercise and enjoyment 2 -- sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a time -- but I never go to the gym like you do.


Laura: Well, walking is good exercise. How about sports?


Peter: Not since my school days. I used to love playing baseball, but it's impossible to get enough people together for a game now. Mostly I just watch sports on TV.


Laura: I play tennis fairly regularly with my friends, and sometimes go swimming and cycling by myself.


Peter: Oh, I forgot about that. I go cycling sometimes too. And I often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming.


Laura: Why don't you join me at the gym sometime? I can get you a guest pass.


Peter: Well, maybe someday, but I'm pretty lazy about things like that.

Watching a Game


Alan: Going to the football game today, Betty?


Betty: No, but I'll be watching it on television with some friends.


Alan: Weren't you able to get any tickets?


Betty: I didn't try. I really don't go to games so often.


Alan: But don't you enjoy going? Don't you find it exciting to be part of the crowd?


Betty: Oh sure, nothing beats the atmosphere at a sporting event: the cheering, all that energy. But sometimes it's just too inconvenient 3 getting into and out of the stadium before and after the game. And if you watch the game with friends, or at a bar or restaurant ...


Alan: ... you've basically 4 created your own crowd.


Betty: That's right. Another reason why I like to watch sports on television is that I simply find it easier to follow the action on TV.


Alan: Yeah, sometimes it is a little difficult to keep track of the ball when you're sitting in the stands.


Betty: Especially when your seats are high up in the grandstand, and far from the field.


Alan: It's like you're watching from an airplane, sometimes.


Betty: Also good sports commentators 5 on television can add to your understanding and enjoyment of the game.


Alan: After listening to you I'm starting to wonder how they are able to sell any tickets to these games!
