M: Hi Jessie. Do you have any plans for next weekend? ,F: Not at all, David. ,M: Do you want to join me to go mountain climbing next weekend? ,F: Mountain climbing? Me? ,M: Yes, you. ,F: Why me? ,M: You need some exercise. Mountain climbing is one of the best ways to build your strength and balance. ,F: Wait a minute, are you talking about hiking or mountain climbing? ,M: Mountain climbing, the tougher one. ,F: I never did that before. Do I need any training before I go? ,M: Yes. You better take some instructional courses at the climbing gym. ,F: You can't be serious. ,M: I'll take you to my gym tomorrow. ,F: Can I say no? ,M: Don't worry so much. I'll also find you a partner. ,F: Partner? What for? ,M: You need a partner to manage the climbing rope for you. ,F: My God. ,M: When you first start, you'll get tired quickly and suffers slightly sore forearms the day after, but later on, you'll get accustomed. ,F: I'm not going. It's not my type of workout. I'd rather stay at home and serve on the Internet. Thank you all the same.
