Model Conversation 02

A: Hey, I love basketball. Don't you?

B: Well, I like reading.

A: You should try playing basketball. It's fun.

B: No. I prefer to read. I can sit in a corner and travel to different, magical worlds.

A: That sounds very quiet and lonely. I think playing in a team is exciting.

B: I am happy reading. Books are my friends.

A: But if you are in a team, you learn how to work with others. Why don't you try it?

B: That does sound nice. There are many ways of learning to work in a team - through picnics, classroom work...

A: Perhaps you could introduce me to reading and we could play basketball sometimes.

B: Sure, I would like that. Later then?
