Now, listen again and follow along with the script below.
Tom: I’m so bored! There’s nothing to do. Can I watch some TV?
Dad: No, I think you watched enough TV already. Why don’t you read a book?
Tom: But I already finished reading my books! All of them!
Dad: Oh. Well, then, let’s go outside and get some exercise.
Tom: Oh . . . I don’t know.
Dad: Yeah, come on, we can kick a ball around or something.
Tom: Maybe . . . .
Dad: Yeah, and don’t forget your frisbee. And your badminton rackets.
Tom: Well, I guess so. Where do you want to play? In the park, or in the field across the street?
Dad: Let’s play across the street. It’s already 11:00, and we’ll probably eat lunch at noon. The park is a little far
from here.
Tom: I have an idea. Let’s play badminton first, and then the loser has to do ten push-ups.
Dad: Uh . . . ten push-ups?
Tom: Ha ha! You’re afraid you’ll lose!
Dad: No . . . it’s just that . . . . Well, how about the loser does ten push-ups and the winner does five sit-ups?
Tom: What?! That doesn’t make any sense!
Dad: Ha ha! You’re afraid you’ll win!
Tom: No, of course not. Okay, . . . let’s do it.
Dad: Hey, wait a minute. Before we go outside, why don’t you call your friend, Marcel? He can join us.
Tom: No, I don’t have to.
Dad: What? Why not?
Tom: Because I see him out the window. He’s already outside playing in the field.
Dad: Hey, great.
Tom: I’ll race you. The last person there has to make lunch!
Dad: Okay, no problem. Uh . . . wait a minute. If you lose, what are you going to make for lunch?
Tom: That’s easy. I’ll just call and order a pizza!
Dad: What?!
Dad: No, I think you watched enough TV already. Why don’t you read a book?
Tom: But I already finished reading my books! All of them!
