Woman: So, are you watching the cup final this weekend?

Man: Um..., no, I don’t think so.

Woman: Don’t you like football?

Man: No. I can’t stand it. Sorry to sound so miserable.

Woman: Mmm, I hate it too, but I watch the World Cup Final.

Man: I can’t play, that’s my problem. I’m hopeless at it! If I’m not very good at a sport, I don’t like watching it.

Woman: So, what do you like, then?

Man: I play golf.

Woman: Oh, right. ... My husband plays. I’m not interested in it, though. It’s...not my cup of tea. He plays golf, I go horse riding.

Man: Oh right. Well you could play polo—both of you. That’s half horse riding, half golf! ...I’d love to have a go at riding, actually. I bet it’s good fun.

Woman: Oh, it’s good fun

Man: So, do you have your own horse?

Woman: No, I’d love to have one, but um ... it’s expensive.

Man: Yeah. I’m quite interested in tropical fish. I’d like to have an aquarium, but ... it’s a problem if you travel a lot ...

Woman: Tropical fish?

Man: Yeah. I’d like to have some piranhas.
