20 #Going_to_the_zoo
GREG: Hey Steve. My family and I want to do something fun this weekend. Do you have any suggestions?
STEVE: The weather is going to be nice. You should do something outdoors.
GREG: Yeah, it's supposed to be sunny all weekend.
STEVE: How about a picnic at the park?
GREG: We do that often. I want to do something more fun.
STEVE: How about the city zoo? I heard that bear cubs were recently born there.
GREG: That's a good idea. We haven't been to the zoo in a long time.
STEVE: Then you should definitely go this weekend.
GREG: The last time we were there, it started raining. None of the animals wanted to come out.
STEVE: That must've been boring.
GREG: It was boring. The kids wanted to go home early.
STEVE: The animals should be more visible since the weather is going to be sunny this weekend.
GREG: Yeah. I think we will go to the zoo. Hopefully, this time it'll be more fun.
STEVE: Actually, I have four tickets to the zoo. You can have them. Our family won't be able to go. The tickets expire this weekend.
GREG: Thanks, Steve! Let me pay you for them. Zoo tickets are expensive.
STEVE: Don't worry about it. It's my gift to you since your last visit was not fun.
GREG: Are you sure! This is very generous of you.
STEVE: Also, you mowed my lawn a few times after I had back surgery last year. I really appreciated that.
GREG: I'm glad we're neighbors.

📖 #exercise
I often exercise in the morning before going to school, and my routine often changes from day to day. I usually go to a health club and swim twice a week. On the other days, I sometimes lift weights or go jogging. On the weekends, I often go hiking in the mountains near my home with my dog. I think that getting some exercise helps me stay fit, and it helps me burn off stress from the week. It's also a good way to lose weight and stay trim.

W: Mine was quiet high, too. I think it's because I've been using my heater so much in this cold weather.
