Wow, that was a good game!

You play really well.

Thanks!

You’re good too.

My name’s Leo.

What’s your name?

I’m Mark.

Nice to meet you, Leo.

Nice to meet you too, Mark.

Do you come here often to play basketball?

Yes, I come almost every weekend.

How about you?

This is my first time here.

I just moved to this area last month.

Oh, really?

Welcome!

Where did you live before?

I lived in Chicago

But now I live near the park

That’s great.

Do you like this city so far?

Yes, it’s nice and clean.

The people are friendly.

I agree.

Do you play basketball for fun or in a team?

Just for fun.

I like to stay active.

What about you?

Same here.

I play after work to relax.

What do you do?

I’m an IT technician.

What about you?

I work at a coffee shop downtown.

Cool!

Maybe I’ll come for a coffee sometime.

Sure!

We can play basketball again after.

Sounds great!
