Probably, you remember that 7 years ago our entertainment centre was, in fact, an indoor playground for very small kids. By now, those toddlers have turned into teenagers, who still often come to spend their free time with us, enjoying our creative activities. And we are still growing! Starting from now, we are removing any age restrictions in our club as there’s lots of room and entertainment for people of any age and with any interests. There’s also a Bingo and board games club!

Hi, Dad! I’m so sorry, it looks like I’m going to be late for Granny’s birthday. You know, right after our excursion to the historical museum I was going to Granny’s house. My timing was perfect! But ... A group of Japanese tourists had got lost and asked me how to get to the railway station and while I was explaining the way to them, it started to rain and I got wet to the bone. I had to go home to change my clothes. I’m at home at the moment and heading to Grandma. See you there.

Jill: Hi, Ben! Sorry, I missed your call.

Ben: Hi, Jill! I just wanted to remind you about the book you promised to lend

me.

Jill: Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot about it. Yesterday I was at the theatre with my cousin and it was such a rush! She had got last-minute tickets and...

Ben: No need to feel sorry. Did you enjoy the show?

Jill: It was wonderful! Look, I’m going to the fitness centre in an hour or so. I can take the book with me. Let’s meet up on the way there. At the bus stop, is that OK?

Ben: A bus stop? Well… I’ll be at the fitness centre today too. Let’s meet up right there.

Jill: Perfect. You can find me in the aerobics class from 4 to 5 pm.

Ken: Hi, Sue! Are you shopping for sportswear?

Sue: Yes. I’ve bought a tracksuit for myself and a couple of tennis shirts for my brother. He’s taking part in a tournament soon but his old shirts are too small already. And what have you bought? Is it a glove for boxing?

Ken: No! I did some boxing years ago but that sport is not for me.

Sue: It looks cruel to me though some people find it exciting.

Ken: Right.

Sue: And what’s the glove for then?

Ken: It’s a baseball glove. I’ve joined our school baseball team.

Sue: Congrats!

Ken: Too early. I’m just a beginner in this game. My first training session is tomorrow and I’m feeling nervous.
