The context of the following conversation is Taylor took it easy even though he had a big track meet coming up next week.:
Taylor says I have been skipping track practice all week..
The friend responds Why have you been skipping practice, don't you need it?.
Taylor responds I am the star on my team. I'm resting so I can be in good shape at our next meet..
The friend responds Shouldn't you be practicing for the next meet if it's important?.
Taylor responds I want to save my strength. I'm just taking it easy..
The friend responds You know what they say. Practice makes perfect..
