Dialogue: W: I have no idea how to finish the timetable. M: You don't have to be very creative. It's very standard and more or less the same every year. For example, the sports day begins with throwing events. All jumping events take place before lunch. W: Why? M: That's because the school doesn't want the athletes to jump after eating. The jumping events take place after the throwing events. And the long distance race takes place before the jumping events. W: And after lunch? M: Actually, the school doesn't want any events to take place at that time. But they can practise for the next event. W: Do you mean the 100-meter race? M: Yes.
