PROBLEM: F: I know you pay a lot of attention to exercise in your daily life. Could you tell me something about exercise? ,M: OK. I'm just interested in exercise. The importance of exercise is nothing new. Thomas Jefferson once wrote that to be successful and academic studies, a person should give about 2 hours everyday to exercise. ,F: 2 hours every day? I can't do that. ,M: Most experts today do not demand 2 hours of daily exercise. They recommend that people get 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity most days of the week.

PROBLEM: M: Good morning, Mary. You are up early. ,F: Good morning, Jack. It's cold today. ,M: It always gets cold after a heavy snowfall. Actually, we haven't seen much snow here for years.

I hope the lakes will freeze over soon. ,F: So do I. By the way, did you hear the weather forecast this morning? ,M: Yes. It said partly cloudy today with a strong wind from the Northwest. The highest temperature will only be 6 below 0 at least in the morning. But in the afternoon, it will rise a little bit.
