Eddie and Pedro are talking by the pool at the block of flats where they live.
Eddie:
Oh hello, you must be Pedro.
Pedro:
Yeah, how did you know?
Eddie: Well, Jim told me you were moving in with him. How's it going?
Pedro: Good thanks. Do you live here too?
Eddie: Yes I do. My name's Eddie. I live at number 5 with my wife, Linh.
Pedro: Nice to meet you Eddie.
Eddie: Nice to meet you too. Are you taking a holiday today?
Pedro: No, I'm a musician so I usually work in the evenings.
Eddie: Oh I see. What instrument do you play?
Pedro: The guitar. How about you Eddie? Have you got the day off?
Eddie: No, I'm a student.
Pedro: Oh….so you must have a lot of free time then.
Eddie: Noooo. I'm studying medicine. It's hard work at the moment and I don't have much free time. What do you do in your free time during the day Pedro?
Pedro: Well I have to practise the guitar of course, and I read a lot. I also spend a lot of time watching old movies, and music shows on TV.
Eddie: Hmmm, I love watching movies too. I often go the cinema with my wife. I also watch a bit of day-time TV.
Pedro: What kind of programs do you watch?
Eddie: Well…..the news, soaps and occasionally nature or science documentaries.
Pedro: Mmm, Jim watches a lot of news too, and we both love the sports channel.
Eddie: Then I guess you are going to the International Swimming Championships at the City stadium this weekend?
Pedro: Oh… I didn't know about them. Are you going?
Eddie: Yeah, Jim and I are going. We have a spare ticket for the swimming, Linh can't make it. Would you like to join us?
Pedro: Thanks, that would be great!
