Hi Kate. What are you doing now?
Hi Mary. I'm watching TV.
Is there anything interesting on?
Yes. There is Royal Ascot, one of the biggest horse races in the UK.
Why is it Royal? Queen Elizabeth II and the members of the Royal Family go to this race
every year. The Queen even has her own race horses there.
Why do you like horse racing? I love horses. They are elegant and powerful. They run beautifully.
Can you ride a horse? Yes I can. I go to the riding school twice a week.
I am taking lessons with an instructor. He says that horse riding is good for health.
My next lesson is on Saturday. Join me if you like. No thanks. I prefer running. It's my
favourite sport. Why do you like it? It helps me to keep fit. I think running is the best
way to be active. I think any kind of sport is good. Bye Mary. See you at school. Bye.
