Read the following text carefully.
It’s lunch break. Lillian and Matt are in the playground
talking about their weekend.
Lillian: Last Saturday I invited some friends to visit me and
we just stayed at home. You know, we usually meet at the
shopping centre or we go jogging in the park but this time I
was so tired that I preferred not to go out. We watched a
good film and ate popcorn. It was fun.
Matt: But why were you so tired?
Lillian: Well, during the week I am always very busy after
school. I have guitar lessons and basketball practice three
times a week. After that I get home and I usually study. Last
week I had a Math and a Science test, so I had to study a lot.
Matt: I’ve got to admit that I am very lazy, so the best thing
for me is to spend my free time at home sitting in front of
the TV. I also like to have my laptop with me and I am
always surfing the net or checking my Facebook page.
Lillian: But this way you don’t hang out with your friends
and you don’t exercise.
Matt: You’re right about exercising but I often meet my
friends. For example, last Sunday I was on Facebook
keeping in touch with my friends. I am always with them
online. Come on, don’t look at me like that. I know it’s not
the same thing as being face-to-face with them but that’s
how I like it.
Lillian: Well, I have to say that’s too dull for me. You would
feel healthier and have more fun if you went out with your
friends. You can always experience something new. Why
don’t you go cycling with them next week?
Matt: You’re so right. I will ask them.
Lillian: That’s the spirit.
