英語情景會話

(以下C代表Cherry，B代表Bryan)

C: Bryan, what sports do you go in for?

B: Absolutely football! When I was in college. I used to be a key player in my team.

C: That' cool. So which football team do you like best'?

B: I'm a firm United supporter. And you?

C: I used to be, too. I like the team which David Beckham joins in.

B: You girls! I don't know why people are so mad about him.

C: Thanks to two things: his bending kicks and his good look.

B: Well, in that case, maybe facial charm3 should be his leading card. After all, the majority of his fans are girls.

C: Maybe. I'm longing for seeing David for myself.

B: Really? Here is a chance. I want to go to the South Africa to watch the World Cup in 2010. Do you want to go with me?

C: Great! I'd love to.
