Finding Out Common Interests

(1) Theo: Listen
It was very nice meeting you today.
(2) Irene: Listen
Thanks. Me, too.
(3) Theo: Listen
Let's do something together, soon. Do you like playing any sports?

"like playing" is verb + verb-ing pattern.

(4) Irene: Listen
Yes. I love playing badminton. It's very good for your [vocab word=body]body[/vocab]. Do you like playing badminton?
(5) Theo: Listen
I've never played badminton. I like playing [vocab word=football]football[/vocab]. Do you like football?

Theo hasn't played badminton even once in his life.

(6) Irene: Listen
I enjoy watching football. But, I don't play football. I'm too old for that.
(7) Theo: Listen
Do you like [vocab word=table tennis]table tennis[/vocab]?

"Table tennis" is also called "Ping pong".

(8) Irene: Listen
Yes! I love playing table tennis. I played it in high school. In fact, I [vocab word=consider]considered[/vocab] [vocab word=become]becoming[/vocab] a professional table tennis [vocab word=player]player[/vocab] once.

"once" means "in the past" in this sentence.

(9) Theo: Listen
Oh, wow. That's amazing.
(10) Irene: Listen
I [vocab word=practice]practiced[/vocab] playing table tennis every evening in high school. In the end, I chose to go to university.

We say "choose to do something", not "choose doing something". "Chose" is the past tense of "choose".

(11) Theo: Listen
I'm not that good but I'm not a beginner either. I think we'll enjoy playing table tennis together.

Theo is not really good at table tennis, but he is not very bad at it either.

(12) Irene: Listen
Let's meet again next week. I know a good place with many [vocab word=ping pong]ping pong[/vocab] tables.
(13) Theo: Listen
Sounds good.
(14) Irene: Listen
I will [vocab word=text]text[/vocab] you the [vocab word=address]address[/vocab] later. It's a little [vocab word=far]far[/vocab] from here, though.

"Text you" means to send a text message.

(15) Theo: Listen
I don't [vocab word=mind]mind[/vocab] traveling. I like driving.

"I don't mind doing something" means "Something is okay. I'm okay with doing something. I can do something."
