英文原版对话1000个:1191 Alex's Weekend

 　　Katia: Hey, Alex.

 

　　Alex: Hi, Katia.

 

　　Katia: Listen, I just have a question. What do you like doing during the weekends?

 

　　Alex: During the weekends? Well usually I like mountain biking. That's one of my hobbies so whenever I've got time and the weather is fine, I like taking my bike and going somewhere. Sometimes I go far and sometimes not that far but I like doing that.

 

　　Katia: That is so cool. Do you usually go alone?

 

　　Alex: Well whenever I have friends or I have someone to go with I try to go but most of the times I go alone, yeah.

 

　　Katia: That's cool. What about during the mornings or in the evenings, what do you do?

 

　　Alex: Well if I can get out, go somewhere with my friends, I always try to go drinking or I try to go have dinner or something. Usually when I'm at home, I try to get together with my family. My mom likes cooking and likes having everybody over so sometimes my cousins come, my grandparents too, so that's one of the things I do when I'm home. When I'm not then I try to meet my friends. Sometimes I invite my friends over, I cook for them, nothing more.

 

　　Katia: What about Saturday night? Do you go to a restaurant or to a bar¹?

 

　　Alex: Yeah, I love going to restaurants and bars² but I really don't enjoy going to discos³ or clubs. I don't know, I'm not such a big fan⁴ of that. I like going downtown⁵ like, yeah, meeting my friends, going to bars, talking.

 

　　Katia: So you don't like crowded places or loud music?

 

　　Alex: It's really not about crowded places or loud music, it's more that I enjoy being⁶ with my friends and I enjoy being able to talk and to say things and when I go to those places, you know like there are so many people that you don't really get to talk to people, I don't know. I don't enjoy that much.

 

　　Katia: During the weekends do you usually or sometimes go out of town or on a trip?

 

　　Alex: I do. I do and I love going to places but that's really when the weather is nice and I've got some time. If the weather is not so nice then I'd rather just stay home because I kind of like resting. Usually during the weeks I'm kind of busy but if the weather is nice and I've got time and I can go with friends or something, I do that. I don't enjoy going somewhere in the weekends just by myself.

 

　　Katia: Nice.
