对话文本


B: so, which sport do you prefer---basketball or baseball?

J: to be honest, I don't really care for either one.

B: I thought everyone liked basketball. Why don't you like it?

J: I used to play basketball when I was little, and I never scored a goal. Every time I watch a basketball game, I think about how horrible I was at it.

B: that makes sense.

J: how about you? What's your favorite sport of all time?

B: my absolute favorite is ice hockey.

J: have you ever seen a live game?

B: sure, many times. It's an exciting game for spectators to watch.

J: I've never really understood the game.

B: it's not that difficult. If you want to watch a game with me, I can explain the rules and the tactics while we're watching.

J: thanks, that'd be nice. When's the next ice hockey game on?

B: not for a while, but we could watch an old one on the internet so I can explain the game to you.

J: that's a good idea.

B: let's watch the Canadian team. They have a good manager and a great coach.

J: ok.
