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! |
