question:
M: Hi, Laura. Where are you heading with that big bag? W: I'm offto the gym. I've got to stay in shape, you know. M: I know more women who exercise than men. What's the main reason you do that? For your health, or to look good? W: To be honest, for both. With women, good looks are always a very important consideration. M: I see. W: How about you? Do you get any regular exercise? M: I do a lot of walking for exercise and enjoyment-sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a time-but I never go to the gym like you do. W: Well, walking is a good exercise. How about sports? M: Not since my school days. I used to love playing baseball, but it's impossible to get enough people together for a game now. Mostly I just watch sports on TV W: I play tennis fairly regularly with my friends and sometimes go swimming and cycling by myself. M: Oh, I forgot about that. I go cycling sometimes too. And I often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming. W: Why don't you join me at the gym sometime?
