Tony: Ok. What’s the score?
Daming: Spain scored a minute ago.
Tony: Wow! That’s fast!
Daming: That’s right! Last week the match on TV was so boring because no one scored
at all. So this week’s match is already more exciting.
Betty: What’s the matter with you, Tony? You look tired.
Tony: I’m really tired after last night’s tennis match. And I hurt my knee.
Daming: That’s too bad! Sit down and watch the match. It’s safer than playing tennis.
Betty: Yes, watching is not dangerous and it’s more relaxing too!
Tony: Well, I’m not sure about that. Nothing is more enjoyable than playing tennis.
Betty: But you enjoyed watching the Olympics on TV, right?
Tony: Yes, but that’s because it was cheaper than buying tickets for all the games.
Daming: And staying at home was easier than going to the stadium. Oh, look at that!
Tony: Oh, he missed! Oh, bad luck!
Daming: Never mind. There’s still plenty of time for them to score.
