Is there something new you want to try?
Diane: Actually, I want to try playing the drums. It may be a bit challenging, but I think it could be fun.
Robert: The drums? No kidding!
Diane: I like listening to drums in songs. They can be really powerful and strong. And I think that drumming is good for you. I read it reduces stress and burns calories.
Robert: That sounds cool!
Diane: What about you, Robert? What would you like to try?
Robert: Well, I really like football.
Diane: You mean American football or soccer?
Robert: I mean soccer. I would like to try teaching it. I could do it as a volunteer at an elementary school.
Diane: A teacher? That’s great!
Robert: Actually, I have always been interested in teaching. And you know I’m crazy about soccer. So, it’s the perfect combination!
