Aunt:Xiao Jie, are you tired? Have a rest!

Xiaojie, how did it go with your cousin yesterday?

Xiao Jie:My cousin took me to play table tennis at the sports centre. Guess who won?

Aunt:Let me guess. Did your cousin win?

Xiao Jie:Haha. No, I won and I felt awesome.

Aunt:Look at you, so pleased with yourself!

Xiao Jie:Of course.

Aunt:Well, do you still want to play table tennis today?

Xiao Jie:Not really. Do you like swimming?

Aunt:Sure. Swimming is good for losing weight. Some people even say swimming a lot can make you smarter.

Xiao Jie:Really? There's a swimming pool at the sports centre.

Aunt:I know. I was there yesterday. I'm going swimming again today.

Xiao Jie:How about I come with you? I haven't swum for ages.

Aunt:Sure. You can. Xiao Jie, have you brought your bathing suit?

Xiao Jie:No. What are we going to do?

Aunt:Not a problem. They sell bathing suits at the sports centre. We can buy one there.

Xiao Jie:That's great. Let's go.

Aunt:Xiao Jie, look at all those bathing suits!

Xiao Jie:Let me have a look. They're all so pretty!

Salesperson:Hello!

Aunt:Hi, I'd like to buy a bathing suit and a swimming cap.

Xiao Jie:Plus a pair of goggles.

Salesperson:Which bathing suit would you like?

Aunt:Xiao Jie, which one do you like?

Xiao Jie:I like the blue one.

Salesperson:Here you are. Take care.

Aunt:Thanks. Come on. Xiao Jie, let's go.

Xiao Jie:Is the swimming pool big?

Aunt:It's standard size, 50 metres long.

Xiao Jie:Is there a shallow pool there?

Aunt:We'll know once we get in.

Aunt:Look, the pool's shallow at this end and deep at the other end.

Xiao Jie:I think I'll swim at the shallow end first.

Aunt:Xiaojie, come and swim at my end.

Xiao Jie:How deep is the water over there?

Aunt:Around two metres. Will you come and try it?

Xiao Jie:I'm not good at swimming. I'm a bit scared about swimming in deep water.

Aunt:How about I buy you a safety ring?

Xiao Jie:I'll have a try first.

Aunt:Xiao Jie, be careful! You're doing just fine.
