Kathy: Thanks for inviting 1 me to see your team. Who’s your best player?
Brad: That would be Sarah. She’s a natural. No one comes close to her speed and dexterity 2. She has good instincts and a flair 3 for getting out of difficult situations.
Kathy: She sounds promising 4. Anyone else I should be keeping an eye on?
Brad: Mollie is a good player, too. In terms of scoring points, she can almost do it in her sleep. She’s also very good at being a leader to the other players, and she has a knack 5 for getting along with even the most difficult teammates.
Kathy: As you know, we recruit only first-rate players for the national team, and this year, we hope to be head and shoulders above any of the other teams. The days of making do with mediocre 6 players are over.
Brad: I understand that. We have a game this Saturday. Why don’t you come out and judge for yourself? I think you’ll be impressed with the talent you see.
Kathy: I’m sure I will. I’ll be here on Saturday ready to be dazzled.
