Let's Learn English - Lesson 51: A Good Habit:
| Anna | D.C. is a popular city for marathons! A marathon is a long race. Many marathons raise money for charity, you know - good works. A marathon is a good fitness goal too. I want to challenge myself in a marathon and maybe win a medal! Hey, there’s Ashley. Ashley! Wait for me! It’s Anna! |
| Anna | Ash … ley. Ash … ley. |
| Ashley | Are you okay, Anna? |
| Anna | I just ran … from over there. |
| Ashley | Do you want to sit down, Anna? Do you want some water? (Anna takes the bottle and tries to return it.) No thanks. You keep it. |
| Anna | Thanks. I didn’t know you like to run. |
| Ashley | I love running. In fact, this weekend, I will run in my first marathon. |
| Anna | Me … too. |
| Ashley | Really? You are running in a marathon? |
| Anna | Yeah. In a couple of days. Why do you ask … like that? |
| Ashley | What do you know about running in a marathon? |
| Anna | I know that there’s a lot of running and sometimes you can win a medal. |
| Ashley | How long have you been training? |
| Anna | I started today. I’ve been training for an hour … no, an hour and seven minutes! |
| Ashley | Anna, training a little every day is a good habit to get into. Not all at once! |
| Anna | Thanks for the advice, Ashley. But I’m running in a special race. |
| Ashley | What marathon is it? |
| Anna | I don’t remember the name. But the website said everyone gets a medal. |
| Ashley | Okay, well, good luck, Anna! |
| Anna | Thanks, Ashley. Good luck to you, too. |
| Ashley | Thank you. |
| Anna | Bye! |
| Ashley | Bye, Anna! |
| Anna | See you! |
| At the race - an announcer calls out race information) | |
| Anna | Hello. I am here to enter the race! |
| Woman | But ma’am you can’t enter the race. |
| Anna | What? How am I going to meet my goal? |
| Woman | Ma’am, this race is for children. You can’t run with the children. |
| Anna | Children? Children. That’s perfect. I just might win! |
| Woman | No, ma’am. You really can’t run with the children. |
| Anna | I’m sorry. Of course. I was only thinking of my goal. |
| Woman | Well, you can help us with our goal, which is to raise money for sick children. Would you like to help us? |
| Anna | I’ve just found my new goal. And I get to wear a medal. (to child who finished race) Good job! |
