Maria: Honestly speaking Luke, I’m not very sporty but I like baseball a lot.
Luke: Can you run well?
Maria: Yes, certainly. I’m quite good at it. I also do some snorkeling and golf.
Luke. I see. Sounds interesting. I like swimming but my favourite sport is basketball.
Maria: That’s obvious. You are rather tall.
Luke: Are there any sports that you don’t do but like watching?
Maria: There are many such sport types. For example, I enjoy watching football, hockey, tennis, alpine skiing, biathlon, figure skating, bobsleigh and many others. How about you? Do you like watching sport events?
Luke: I certainly do. My favourite events are connected with football and curling.
Maria: What about curling? Is it a team game? And how is it played?
Luke: Curling is a team game. It is usually played in teams of four. The equipment includes stones and brooms. In this game players should try to slide stones across the ice sheet towards the target area, which is called the house. The point of the game is to slide the stone closer to the centre of the house. Each team has eight stones.
Maria: That sounds like an interesting sport. When I get the chance I will definitely watch a curling event.
Luke: I’m sure, you’ll like it.
Maria: Have you ever tried to surf or windsurf?
Luke: No, I haven’t. But I think it feels great. Can you tell me a little bit about these sport types?
Maria: Yes, of course. I’m very much into these water sports. Surfing is quite popular among young people nowadays. Surfing in other words is wave riding. Surfers stand on special boards and try to ride the ocean waves. Windsurfing is the combination of surfing and sailing. Both sports are very spectacular.
Luke: Are there any special events or competitions in surfing and windsurfing?
Maria: Yes, there are. There are World Surfing Championships. Windsurfing features such disciplines as Slalom, Speedracing, Freestyle and else.
Luke: I’d like to see one of those competitions. Let me know if there is a coming up event.
Maria: Will do. I’m glad we have similar interests and preferences in sport.
