Dialogue

Sasha: Happy New Year, Brian!

Brian: Happy New Year, Sasha! So, what’s your New Year’s resolution?

Sasha: I’m not sure. What’s your New Year’s resolution, Brian?

Brian: Mine is very simple. I want to exercise more. I have a big race coming up this summer, but I was way too lazy over Christmas. I will try to improve my exercise routine from now on. The more exercise I do, the more prepared I will be.

Sasha: I see. Hmm. I would like to spend more time with my friends this year.

Brian: That’s nice.

Sasha: Last year, I mainly texted people because it’s so convenient. But of course, it’s better to talk in person. So, I want to text less. This year, I will make more time for hanging out so that we can chat more.

Brian: Good idea! Let’s hang out more this year.
