developing tactics for listening, 10- listening 2

10- listening 2

1. I used to lift weights, but I didn't really enjoy it. So that's when I started swimming. Now I do it about twice a week. It's much more fun. I go to a nice pool near my office. It's never too crowded, which is great. There are friendly people who go there, so it's a good place to meet people.

2. I go out every morning. It's a great way to start the day. It's more interesting than exercising at home like I used to. That was really boring. I go to a beach near my house. It's lovely in the early morning. There's hardly anyone there and you can listen to the ocean as you do it.

3. I used to play both tennis and volleyball. But I play mainly volleyball now. I think it's a lot more fun. I thought tennis was very tiring. It was also difficult to find a partner, and the courts were always crowded, too. With volleyball, I have no trouble finding somewhere to play.

4. I used to take long walks every day, but it got boring. I wanted something more exciting, so that's when I took up rollerblading. It's really fun! But. it's not as easy as it looks. It took me a long time to learn how to do it. I fell a lot at the beginning. The great thing is you can do it almost anywhere. My friends think I'm kind of strange because none of them do it. but I love it.

5. I finally bought myself a bicycle. It's a great way to keep fit. I think it's better than going to a health club. It took me a long time to learn to ride it in traffic. I nearly fell off a couple of times. I don't often go on busy streets because that can be dangerous, but there are plenty of places where I can ride near where I live. I use it to get to work sometimes, but only if the weather is nice.

6. I used to go to aerobics class, but I found it pretty silly—all that jumping around. So that's when I decided to take golf lessons. It can be pretty expensive because you have to buy all your equipment and club fees are high. People think it's very easy, but it's not. It's also good exercise because you have to walk a lot.

1. I used to lift weights, but I didn't really enjoy it. Antes levantaba pesas, pero no me gustaba mucho. So that's when I started swimming. Entonces empecé a nadar. Now I do it about twice a week. Ahora lo hago unas dos veces por semana. It's much more fun. Es mucho más divertido. I go to a nice pool near my office. Voy a una bonita piscina cerca de mi oficina. It's never too crowded, which is great. Nunca hay demasiada gente, lo cual es estupendo. There are friendly people who go there, so it's a good place to meet people. Hay gente amable que va allí, así que es un buen lugar para conocer gente.

2. I go out every morning. 2. Salgo todas las mañanas. It's a great way to start the day. Es una forma estupenda de empezar el día. It's more interesting than exercising at home like I used to. Es más interesante que hacer ejercicio en casa como solía hacer. That was really boring. Eso fue realmente aburrido. I go to a beach near my house. It's lovely in the early morning. Es precioso por la mañana temprano. There's hardly anyone there and you can listen to the ocean as you do it. Apenas hay nadie y puedes escuchar el océano mientras lo haces.

3. I used to play both tennis and volleyball. Solía jugar al tenis y al voleibol. But I play mainly volleyball now. Pero ahora juego sobre todo al voleibol. I think it's a lot more fun. I thought tennis was very tiring. El tenis me pareció muy agotador. It was also difficult to find a partner, and the courts were always crowded, too. También era difícil encontrar pareja, y además las canchas estaban siempre abarrotadas. With volleyball, I have no trouble finding somewhere to play.

4. I used to take long walks every day, but it got boring. I wanted something more exciting, so that's when I took up rollerblading. Quería algo más emocionante, así que empecé a patinar. It's really fun! But. it's not as easy as it looks. It took me a long time to learn how to do it. Me llevó mucho tiempo aprender a hacerlo. I fell a lot at the beginning. Me caí mucho al principio. The great thing is you can do it almost anywhere. Lo mejor es que puedes hacerlo casi en cualquier sitio. My friends think I'm kind of strange because none of them do it. Mis amigos piensan que soy un poco rara porque ninguno de ellos lo hace. but I love it.

5. I finally bought myself a bicycle. It's a great way to keep fit. Es una forma estupenda de mantenerse en forma. I think it's better than going to a health club. Creo que es mejor que ir a un gimnasio. It took me a long time to learn to ride it in traffic. I nearly fell off a couple of times. Casi me caigo un par de veces. I don't often go on busy streets because that can be dangerous, but there are plenty of places where I can ride near where I live. No suelo circular por calles muy transitadas porque puede ser peligroso, pero hay muchos lugares donde puedo hacerlo cerca de donde vivo. I use it to get to work sometimes, but only if the weather is nice.

6. I used to go to aerobics class, but I found it pretty silly—all that jumping around. 6. Solía ir a clases de aeróbic, pero me parecía una tontería, tanto saltar de un lado a otro. So that's when I decided to take golf lessons. Entonces decidí tomar clases de golf. It can be pretty expensive because you have to buy all your equipment and club fees are high. Puede ser bastante caro porque tienes que comprar todo tu equipo y las cuotas de los clubes son elevadas. People think it's very easy, but it's not. It's also good exercise because you have to walk a lot. También es un buen ejercicio porque hay que caminar mucho.
