Lesson 4

Talking about Your Interests and Routines

Sasha: Hi, Maria! How was your weekend?

Maria: It was great but I am all sore now.

Sasha: What does ‘sore’ mean?

Maria: ‘Sore’ means your muscles are painful because you did a lot of

exercise. If you do sports, you know this feeling well.

Sasha: Hm…I see.. so why are you sore?

Maria: Well, I did yoga in the morning, then I went for a run with my dog.

After that, my friends called me and we went out.

Sasha: Oh, where did you hang out?

Maria: We went bowling to Plazma and went for a drink after that.

Sasha: What a coincidence! I was in Plazma, too.

Maria: Really? How come I didn’t see you there?

Sasha: I only went shopping.

Maria: Did you get anything?

Sasha: Just a few shirts and a bag.

Maria: At least, you are not sore and you’ve bought something useful!
