W:No.I’ve just started working actually.I am teaching maths in a middle school.

M:Do you use the public swimming pool?

W:Yes.Twice a week, I suppose.But I go there once a week when I am busy.It might be much less in winter.

M:How about the cost? Are the charges reasonable?

W:Well, I think they are a bit too high, especially for school kids.

W:Well, we need a girl who’s dependable.

M:Yes.If she doesn’t show up on time, everything will be ruined.

W:And she has to be hard-working.

M:That’s true.The performance requires a lot of practice.It’s hard work.And we don’t have much time before the school’s art festival.Besides, it’s a challenging role, so she has to be smart.

W:So who have we got? How about Nancy? She’s both dependable and hard-working.

M:But sometimes she’s a bit slow.Janet is smart, but she’s lazy.How about Katie?

W:Yes, she has all of the qualities we’re looking for.She has something else as well.She can sing and dance really well.

M:Great! We’d better give her a call right now.Today is October 11 and we have only nine days left.

M:Let’s have a break from swimming, Karen.Tell me when you are off to Madrid.

W:Probably in August.This is my first visit to Spain and I want to look for another woman to share the driving.I’m going in my camping car.

M:Well, good luck to you! What sort of person are you looking for?

W:Someone who loves dogs.You know I always take my pet dog while I travel somewhere.And someone who is a bit like me.

M:You mean someone always on the move doing things?

W:No.I’m not like that on vacation.I enjoy a bit of swimming or climbing but what I really like is lying on the beach enjoying the sunshine.

M:Does she have to speak Spanish?

W:No, I speak Spanish pretty well.

M:Really? Did you take the subject at college?

W:No.Don’t forget I used to live in Chile.

M:So where are you going to look for the person?

W:I don’t know.I thought of putting a small ad either in a university or on the noticeboard at this gym we are in now.What do you think?

M:I’m not sure really…

　　In the summer of 2018, a game took place in the famous Wembley Arena in London.Over 12,000 fans were there shouting and cheering loudly.But this wasn’t a football, basketball or tennis match.It was e-sports and the prize money for the game was ￡3 million.

　　Now so many people play games for fun.Some of them have made playing games their full-time job.However, it is not an easy job.The players practise for many hours a day and they also study videos of other players to look for ways to beat them.

But are e-sports really sports? Are the players athletes? Some say no.They think e-sports players don’t need to run, jump or throw like players in other sports.At the moment, the UK government classifies e-sports as kinds of games, not as sports.But in China and South Korea, e-sports are already sports.For many e-sports fans and players, the most important thing is that e-sports are becoming more and more popular.If e-sports are not as important as other sports at the moment, I’m sure it will be in the near future.
