M: Hello, Linda. You seem to be very tired.
W: Yeah, I have just had a football match.
M: You? Really? I didn’t know you are into sports before. It really surprises me.
W: Well, don’t be. I am really crazy about sports.
M: Really?
W: Yes!
M: Then let’s talk about sports.
W: But I’m not big on sports.
M: Well, that’s OK. So you don’t like sports?
W:(6)Well, I like sports but I’m just not a keen sports watcher. You know I would usually rather watch a movie or some kind of history program.
M: Oh. So you’re into history?
W: Oh, yes!
M: What kind of history?
W: That’s a kind of a difficult question.(7)I would say, ah, primarily I am interested in the ancient and medieval history, but I also like studying the history of the countries that I have visited. It makes it more interesting when I go sight-seeing.
M: What countries have you visited?
W: I’ve been to 26 countries.
M: Really?
W: Yeah!
M: Oh. Yeah, you can’t name them all.
W: The big ones I would say, I’ve been over a good bit of Europe, ah, Mexico, and Peru. I spent almost a year in Egypt and I went to Isreal, Jordan,(8)and now I’m here in Japan. I’ve been here in Japan for a year and a half. And while I have been here, I visited Korea for about a week.
M: Wow. That’s a lot. So did you see the Pyramids in Egypt?
W: Oh, yes. Actually, I climbed the pyramids.
M: Oh, really? Nice. What’s it like on the top?
W:(9)Very, very interesting. But it was during the summer, so the visibility was rather low.
M: Oh, OK.
W: But we were on the Great Pyramid, and to see the second Pyramid, it is a very different perspective.
M: Wow! So you were in Peru, right?
W: Yes.
M: What’s the big thing people see in Peru?
W: Machu Pichu.
M: Machu Pichu? So what is Machu Pichu?
W:(10)Machu Pichu is the ruins of a city that was built by the Inca People.
M: OK.
W: Over maybe three... six hundred years ago, it was lost. No one knew what happened to it until it was recently discovered about a hundred years ago.
M: Wow, nice. Alright, thanks a lot.
W: You are welcome. Nice talking with you. See you next week!
