Mari: Hi, this is Mari. I'm here with Ron. Today, we'll talk about types of entertainment 1 and how often we do these things. Let's first start with watching TV. Ron, how often do you watch TV?
Ron: Usually I watch TV every day. I don't watch TV very long but I usually watch TV every day. Usually I watch the news.
 
Mari: Why just the news?
 
Ron: I like to know what's going on in the world, so I usually watch CNN or BBC 2.
 
Mari: And that's it. Nothing else?
 
Ron: Usually, yes.
 
Mari: Usually?
 
Ron: Other than that, sometimes I'll watch sporting events such as baseball or football.
 
Mari: But that's it?
 
Ron: Yeah.
 
Mari: OK, next, do you go to the movies? How often do you go to the movies?
 
Ron: I don't go to the movies very often, maybe twice a year, I would say.
 
Mari: That's it.
 
Ron: Yeah.
 
Mari: Do you rent movies?
 
Ron: I rent movies more than I go to the cinema, but also not very often.
 
Mari: What kind of movies do you like?
 
Ron: I like funny movies. Comedies 3.
 
Mari: Comedies. What's the most recent movie you watched?
 
Ron: I watched Home Alone last night but it was on TV. I didn't rent the movie.
 
Mari: OK. How often do you read books?
 
Ron: I don't like reading 4, so I don't read books very often. The only time I do read books is for school purposes.
 
Mari: What kind of books do you read for school?
 
Ron: Well, my major is International Relations 5, so usually I read International Relations books, if I have to read.
 
Mari: If you have to read. So nothing? No books for pleasure?
 
Ron: Not for entertainment.
 
Mari: So when you're on the airplane, you don't read?
 
Ron: No. I try to watch the movies on the airplane.
 
Mari: OK. How often do you go to concerts?
 
Ron: I go to concerts once in awhile. In Hawaii, there aren't many concerts so when they're are concerts, I try to go.
 
Mari: What do you go see, or what type of concerts?
 
Ron: I like Hawaiian music so I go to Hawaiian concerts, and if a big star from America comes, I usually try to go also.
 
Mari: So music concerts.
 
Ron: Right, music concerts.
 
Mari: OK, Ron, thanks.
 
Ron: You're welcome.
