Katy
 Gab, do you have any plans for the weekend?
Gab
 I’m going mountain climbing with some friends on Saturday. Do you want to come?
Katy
 Thank you, but I’m staying at home. I’m not an outdoorsy person.
Gab
 You could make an exception. Climbing mountains is an incredible experience. You’re out in the open, surrounded by nature. Also, it’s good exercise.
Katy
 I’d rather just go to the gym if I want to exercise. It only takes an hour, and I feel pleasant and refreshed afterward.
Gab
 Yes, but the gym isn’t a real challenge. Climbing mountains forces you to push yourself to your limits.
Katy
 Maybe, but to me, it seems too unsafe.
Gab
 Not at all. Cars or even stairs injure way more people than mountains.
Katy
 I guess we’re different, then.
Gab
 That’s true. Anyway, I have to get ready now. See you next time!
