K: I see… When do you have time to do these types of activities? In the morning,
evening, while at school, during the weekends, or on holidays?
A: Well, I usually have time to paint on the weekends, and write my blog in the
evening before going to bed, and I play basketball on Sunday afternoons.
K: Are there any new hobbies that you would like to take up in the future?
A: Yeah, I’m really interested in carpentry or modelling, because I like building
things with my hands.
K: How nice! Did you think of turning one of your hobbies into a future career?
A: Oh, yeah. When I was younger I wanted to play in the NBA, but I gave up on that
dream. Maybe someday I’ll chose a simpler life and will become a full time
artist. That would be really interesting.
K: What a wonderful idea! Do you have any plans for this upcoming weekend?
A: Well… I’m going to take my sister for a hike on Saturday, and go to church on
Sunday.
K: Sounds great. Would you like to watch a movie with me and some friends this
evening?
A: Oh, I’d love to but I have other plans. Maybe next time. Thanks for the invitation.
K: Sure. See you next time.
A: Goodbye!
