Dialogues

1. Winning and losing

Eric and Pam are walking home. Pam had a swimming race this afternoon in her gym class.

Eric: How did the race go?

Pam: Awful! I came in last.

Eric: Last? You came in first last month, what happened?

Pam: I guess I'm out of shape. Even Gino can beat me. We had a race last night, and he won.

Eric: Well, you haven't had any exercise for weeks. You've just sat home and studied.

Pam: That's true. From now on I'm going to exercise as much as possible. Did Larry's team win their football game last Saturday?

Eric: No, they lost three to nothing to Gainesville. Larry was really disappointed. Gainesville beat them three to nothing the last time too.

Pam: Let's face it. Larry's not a great football player.

Eric: That's true, but he's a pretty good swimmer.

Pam: I know. I'm glad I don't have a race with him for a month or two!

2. My favorite game

Interviewer: So, Joe, what sport do you play?

Joe: I play football, volleyball, tennis and table tennis, but volleyball is my favorite game as it's a team game and you can play it with your friends, and enjoy it as a team.

Interviewer: Is it quite a fast game as well?

Joe: Yeah. It's fast and that's another reason I enjoy it.

Interviewer: Where do you play?

Joe: I play at local sports centers during the winter and sort of play in tournaments around England.

Interviewer: What sort of equipment do you need?

Joe: Well, first of all you need a ball and a net, and obviously a court. But you may also need knee pads and your volleyball kit.

Interviewer: So, how often do you play volleyball, Joe?

Joe: Well, during the season, which is from September to June, I play twice a week. One time is practice, and the other is a match. During the summer, I play beach volleyball, but that's only once a week.
