　　W: Sure. We can see what the new gym has to offer, and get some exercise, too. It’s fun to work out in a gym with other people. We might even meet new people with similar hobbies!
　　M: Hold on, let’s see what the gym looks like first before we start planning anything else. Let’s meet for lunch at the West End Café before we go. It might be the last good meal we eat!
　　W: Good plan!

　　W: Hi, Kevin. What are you doing here?
　　M: You can’t see what I am doing?
　　W: Well, it looks like you are watching television. But we have a maths exam tomorrow, so I thought you’d be studying for it and maybe I can study with you. After all, two heads are better than one.
　　M: Oh, well, I was just taking a break. This maths gives me a headache if I work on it too long.
　　W: I know what you mean. I’ve been working on it for three hours already.
　　M: But I can’t believe you are coming to me. I mean you know what I got on the last test, don’t you?
　　W: Yeah, I know. You told me. I just thought two heads are better than one.
　　M: I wish I were the person who got an A on the last test. She didn’t miss a question on the paper. Umm ... was it Elizabeth?
　　W: Oh yeah, Elizabeth! She is a friend of mine. She’d be a big help right now. Why don’t I give her a call?
　　M: What! It’s Sunday today. I don’t want to bother her.
　　W: Yeah, I guess you are right. But you know what, she owes me a big favour. Let’s at least give her a call and see what she says.

　　M: Sally Myers is a thirteen-year-old writer whose first book was published last year. Sally, tell us about that book.
　　W: Well, I loved writing. I had a diary for a couple of years. I wrote about my day, poems and stories. But I never showed people what I wrote. Then, because my penfriend was moving to a new city with her family — just like I’d done the year before — I wrote down some advice for her — things which had helped me. She thought it was great and said I should write a little book about it for other children. So I did. I only showed it to my dad after it was finished. He thought it was good, but he tried to stop me sending it to any publishers. He thought I’d feel disappointed if they didn’t like it. So, I sent it to just one company to see what they’d say. I did a search on the Internet and found that only a few publishers published this kind of book. I just e-mailed one of them the book. The next morning my parents got a phone call from them. They wanted to publish mine. Mum was really calm and businesslike on the phone, but as soon as she put it down she was like jumping up and down with excitement. She’d told me that this kind of thing just never happened, and I’d believed her, so I was too shocked to feel anything at first. Then my dad started worrying about what would happen in the future. But everything was OK in the end.
