Unit 1 Section A 2b&2c

Fu Xing: Hi, Emma, how was your weekend?

Emma: It was OK, but now I hurt all over!

Fu Xing: How come?

Emma: I went to the sports centre to try ice skating. People looked so beautiful doing it! But I didn’t expect to fall so many times!

Fu Xing: Oh dear!

Emma: I don’t want to go ice skating again.

Fu Xing: Why? Nobody expects you to be perfect from the start.

Emma: My instructor said that too. She also encouraged me to get back up whenever I fell. She told me not to give up so easily.

Fu Xing: Everything’s difficult before it’s easy. Like swimming. I love it now, but I used to be scared of water.

Emma: Really?

Fu Xing: Yes. I started swimming to get over my fear. Slowly, I became more confident. I have fun being in the water now!

Emma: You’re right. I’ll try ice skating again!
