What are you good at?
Abidemi and Rory talk about things they are good at and things they are not skilled at?
Abidemi: Okay, Rory, are you good at sports?
Rory: Yeah, I am. I'm good at soccer, I think. And I run quite a lot. I'm getting faster. So yeah, I think I'm quite good at sports.
Abidemi: Wow.
Rory: How about you?
Abidemi: No, not really. It's something that I never really practiced when I was a child so I'm not really good at sports. But when people look at me, they always say, "You look like you can run so fast. You look like you can play all these sports." I can run, but I don't do it often or played so many sports. Yup.
Rory: Okay. And are you good at math?
Abidemi: Yes. I feel like I'm bragging when I say that but I enjoy math. And when I was in school, I did well in it. I think up to high school level math, I'm good. What about you, Rory?
Rory: Yeah, the same. So I think I'm quite good at math. I enjoyed it at high school but I didn't do it after that. Now I help my daughter with her math homework, and yeah, I think I'm pretty good.
Abidemi: Lucky her.
Rory: And how about computers? Are you good at computers?
Abidemi: I think I have the basics down. So I'm good at the basic things in computers. But overall, when it gets too complicated, I'm not too good at it. What about you, Rory?
Rory: Yeah, I'm okay. I can use a computer but I can't – I'm not good at programming, things like this, you know. I don't understand this.
Abidemi: I think this is a big one for people. Are you good at getting up early?
Rory: I'm really good at getting up early.
Abidemi: How early?
Rory: You know 5:00 or 6:00 o'clock is no problem for me.
Abidemi: Wow.
Rory: And I think it's because ever since I was young, I've always got up early. I used to do a paper round when I was a kid.
Abidemi: I see.
Rory: I get up before 6:00 o'clock. So how about you? Are you good at getting up early?
Abidemi: No, not really. I like to sleep in. Especially when it's winter, I'm not good at getting up early at all. My body just wants to sleep the whole day. In the summer, I'm a lot better with the sun.
Rory: Okay.
