Mari: Hi, this is Mari. I'm here with Ron. Today, we'll talk about types of entertainment 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 BBC.
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. Comedies.
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 reading, 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 Relations, 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.
