Mari: Hi, this is Mari. I'm here with Ron. Today, we'll talk about types of entertainment¹ and how often we do these things. Let's first start with watching TV. Ron, how often do you watch TV?

Ron: Usually I watch TV every day. I don't watch TV very long but I usually watch TV every day. Usually I watch the news.

 

Mari: Why just the news?

 

Ron: I like to know what's going on in the world, so I usually watch CNN or BBC².

 

Mari: And that's it. Nothing else?

 

Ron: Usually, yes.

 

Mari: Usually?

 

Ron: Other than that, sometimes I'll watch sporting events such as baseball or football.

 

Mari: But that's it?

 

Ron: Yeah.

 

Mari: OK, next, do you go to the movies? How often do you go to the movies?

 

Ron: I don't go to the movies very often, maybe twice a year, I would say.

 

Mari: That's it.

 

Ron: Yeah.

 

Mari: Do you rent movies?

 

Ron: I rent movies more than I go to the cinema, but also not very often.

 

Mari: What kind of movies do you like?

 

Ron: I like funny movies. Comedies³.

 

Mari: Comedies. What's the most recent movie you watched?

 

Ron: I watched Home Alone last night but it was on TV. I didn't rent the movie.

 

Mari: OK. How often do you read books?

 

Ron: I don't like reading⁴, so I don't read books very often. The only time I do read books is for school purposes.

 

Mari: What kind of books do you read for school?

 

Ron: Well, my major is International Relations⁵, so usually I read International Relations books, if I have to read.

 

Mari: If you have to read. So nothing? No books for pleasure?

 

Ron: Not for entertainment.

 

Mari: So when you're on the airplane, you don't read?

 

Ron: No. I try to watch the movies on the airplane.

 

Mari: OK. How often do you go to concerts?

 

Ron: I go to concerts once in awhile. In Hawaii, there aren't many concerts so when they're are concerts, I try to go.

 

Mari: What do you go see, or what type of concerts?

 

Ron: I like Hawaiian music so I go to Hawaiian concerts, and if a big star from America comes, I usually try to go also.

 

Mari: So music concerts.

 

Ron: Right, music concerts.

 

Mari: OK, Ron, thanks.

 

Ron: You're welcome.
