Part 1: Dialogue
Receptionist: Oakwood Community Center. Good morning.
Mark: Hello. I saw a poster about the "Healthy Lifestyle Club" and I’d like some information. When does the club meet?
Receptionist: Well, we used to meet on Tuesdays, but many members were busy. So now, we meet every Thursday.
Mark: Thursday evenings work for me. And what exactly do you do in the club?
Receptionist: We focus on different aspects of a good lifestyle. For example, last week we did yoga. This week, a chef is coming to teach us how to prepare Italian food. It’s going to be delicious and healthy pasta.
Mark: That sounds great. Do I need to bring any ingredients?
Receptionist: No, the center provides the food. However, there is a short fitness session before the cooking. So, please bring a pair of trainers so you can move easily.
Mark: Okay, I will wear my sports clothes. Where is the room? Is it in the Main Building?
Receptionist: No, the cooking equipment is in the other building. We meet in the Sports Hall, right next to the car park.
Mark: The Sports Hall. Got it. And how much is the fee?
Receptionist: It’s pay-as-you-go. A single session is 5 pounds. But if you sign up for the whole month, it is 15 pounds total.
Mark: That’s a good deal. I’ll sign up for the month.
Part 2: Monologue
Sophia: Hi everyone, welcome back to my travel blog. Last month, I left the noisy city to live with a tribal group in the high mountains. It was a life-changing experience. In the city, I am always rushing. But in the village, life is different. People don't look at the clock. They look at the sun. For the first few days, I felt like the days were incredibly long because we did everything so slowly.
One thing that surprised me was their use of technology. Many people think tribes don't have technology. Actually, they have solar panels. However, they use electricity strictly for cooking, not for lights or TV. They go to bed when it gets dark.
Their social habits are fascinating too. In my country, we shake hands or hug. But here, greeting is a common practice done by bowing slightly. They never touch each other when saying hello.
The hardest part for me was the night. In the city, I hear cars and sirens. Here, it was silent. I actually couldn't sleep for the first two nights because the silence was too heavy. I felt lonely.
But overall, looking at their strong bodies and happy faces, I am sure that their way of living is much better for our health than our stressful city lives.
