Leemos el diálogo en voz alta junto al profesor/a）
Sarah is now in a gym. Her personal instructor gives her a workout program.
Instructor : Sarah, have you prepared for today’s exercises?
Sarah
: Yes I have, but I am afraid I might not be able to sustain this workout.
Instructor
: Don’t be! I am here to guide you. First, I’ll teach you how to do sit-ups, and then later on, we will do
push-ups.
Sarah
: Oh, I am here to lose weight, not to gain muscle... Do I really need to do sit-ups and push-ups to
make my diet successful?
Instructor
: Good question. Gaining muscle is exactly the key to make your diet successful. It promotes the
basal metabolism and helps your body consume more energy.
Sarah
: Cool! Now I’m encouraged! I really want to say goodbye to my obese body!
Instructor : Good motivation! Way to go Sarah! Let’s start the training then. Are you ready?
Sarah
: I’m ready when you are!
