L: Morning, dad. What are you busy with?
D: Morning, son. I'm preparing for the Sunday tennis training. The rackets, the sports shoes, the water…, you know, lots of stuff.
L: But look, it is raining hard outside, and the wind is strongly as well! Is it possible for us to take the training course in such bad weather ?
D: No worries. You know our schedule on Sunday. I have got used to it. Anyway, we're taking practice today, so the wind or rain won't have anything to do with our training. And I don't want to change the plan at will, you know.
L: I can understand, but I still want to know tennis training is that important to us.
D: Son, it's not difficult to understand. Firstly, everybody wants to keep healthy, and we're not . Without sprots, we will become weak easily. Secondly, if we want to be good at something, we have to practice it hard. Never find any excuses to give up easily.
L: Yeah, I agree. You always tell me to hold on when with difficulties.
D: I'm glad you still remember this. I want to set an example for you, and hope you can understand the spirit. One more thing, sports are a good way to help people understand the importance of team work. and cooperation ( 合 作 ) happen when doing sports, you know.
L: Yeah, I do know if a team want to win, the members have to keep talking to make sure everybody knows the team's goals and encouraging each other. It's important to work hard in sports games.
D: I'm so happy you understand this. we can benefit ( 获 益 ) a lot from sports training, why not get ready and start out?
L: Ok, dad. Wait for me a few minutes. I need to prepare something, too. D: No problem. Just hurry up!
