1. I enjoy reading books.
Hello. Come in, the door’s open! Hello, Brian!
Hello, Francis! What are you doing?
I’m making a bookcase. I like books. I like buying books and I enjoy reading them. But I don’t want to buy a bookcase.
Why not?
Bookcases are expensive. And I enjoy making things, so I’m making a bookcase.
Well, I’m playing tennis this afternoon. Would you like to play?
No, thanks. Not this afternoon. It’s too cold, and I’m busy. I’m making this bookcase.
You never play tennis.
Yes, I do! I sometimes play. But I prefer watching it.
I like tennis. I like playing tennis. I enjoy playing tennis.
I enjoy watching tennis. And I enjoy making things, like this bookcase. It doesn’t matter. I’ll start again.
2. He’s good at tennis.
Who’s winning? Brian or Peter?
Brian’s winning.
He usually wins. He’s good at tennis. Peter isn’t. Look!
Thanks, Beryl.
Peter plays well sometimes.
He isn’t playing well today. He’s playing very badly. Where’s Francis?
He’s at home. He doesn’t like playing tennis.
He enjoys watching. He often comes here and watches.
And sometimes he plays tennis, too. He played against Brian last week.
Did Brian win?
Yes, he did. Francis isn’t good at tennis, I’m afraid.
Yes, Peter is better than Francis. Hahaha. . .
Well. . . that’s it. Why do you always win?
Because I’m better than you are, Peter. Did you enjoy the game?
Not much.
Why not?
Because you played well and I played badly. And I don’t enjoy playing badly.
Hahaha. . .
Hello.
Brian played well.
Brian is good at tennis.
Peter isn’t good at tennis.
Brian played better than Peter.
Ann—what happened to your arm?
I broke it. In a game of hockey.
Who did it?
Susan.
And what did you do?
I broke Susan’s leg.
You broke her leg?
Yes.
Hahaha. . .
