Jane: Well, what's this about? I've received more than twenty useless fliers.
Shirley: Yes, that's really annoying. But this one is about bodybuilding.
Jane: Bodybuilding? Let me have a look!I do need such kind of thing. I start to look a little plump.
(Jane has a close look at the flier.)
Shirley: So, what do they say? Is there something special?
Jane: Yeah, it says they have a health club, a health farm and a health spa.
Shirley: And what sort of courses do they offer?
Jane: Let me see, oh, they have aerobics, yoga, hip-top, Taekwondo and things like that.
Shirley: Sounds nice! Aerobics is my favorite activity. It's effective to deal with this waistline. Don't you think my waistline is getting smaller?
Jane: Yes, I've noticed that. You know, my waistline has been a big problem since my son was born. I've tried a number of things, but they've all turned out to be useless. It's really irritating.
Shirley: Yeah, what does it say about personal trainers? We may want to look into that, because some of them are irresponsible and unskillful.
Jane: That's right. The flier says all the aerobics trainers there graduate from International Personal Trainer Institute.
Shirley: Oh, It's relief to hear that. And another thing, can you hold on to it from beginning to the end?
Jane: I see that could be a real problem for me. Do you have any suggestions?
Shirley: Once you made up your mind, don't give yourself any excuse for quitting. But I still wanna say before making any decision, you have to think it over.
Jane: That's definitely right. But beauty never comes cheap. I believe I will overcome it.
Shirley: Yes, nothing is impossible to a willing heart. I know you can do it.
Shirley: Aerobics is my favorite activity. For one thing, it helps people to lose weight, especially the waistline. Look at my waistline. Now, that's the most powerful evidence. For another thing, people can relax while listening to aerobics music. How amazing! You don't even feel a bit tired after aerobics.
