Jackie: What’s your favorite sport Paul?
Paul: I like basketball because you’re always moving and never just standing around. You’re always trying to get open for a pass or dribbling down the court trying to make it to the hoop.
Jackie: Don’t you get tired quickly?
Paul: I’m usually having too much fun to even think about it. If I do get tired the coach will make a substitution and I can rest on the bench for a while.
Jackie: I get tired just thinking about it.
Paul: Well, which sport do you like?
Jackie: My favorite is table tennis. It’s challenging and running around the table like that is enough to tire me out without getting too exhausted.
Paul: Yeah, table tennis is fun, but I get bored just hitting a little ball back and forth. I like a sport where I can be more physical. What about hockey? There’s nothing more exciting than getting a pass from a teammate and then scoring a goal!
Jackie: But it can be so violent! You can get your teeth knocked out!
Paul: Of course you have to be careful and wear protective equipment.
Jackie: Still, it’s a little too intense for me. I prefer a sport like bowling where you can be competitive, but you don’t have to worry about serious injuries.
Paul: Are you a good bowler?
Jackie: Last time I went bowling with my dad, I bowled three spares and a strike!
Paul: Wow, that is pretty good.
Jackie: Yeah, we should go sometime.
Paul: What about right now? Do you want to go bowling?
Jackie: Yeah, for sure. Let’s go!
