Alice: Hi, Jerry, I heard you have fun with Peggy in Merry Park yesterday.
Jerry: Yes. We had a great time there. Why didn’t you come with us? We got
there by bus in only ten minutes.
Alice: I know, but the ticket is more expensive on the weekend. Also, I’ve been
there many times since it opened five years ago. Did you try the Dandelion
Seat there? It’s so popular that people have to wait for over an hour to get a
ride.
Jerry: You mean those flower-like umbrellas that fly high in the sky?
Alice: Yes. I enjoyed riding on the Dandelion Seat and looking over the city. It
was a great experience.
Jerry: Eh… I liked taking the train to get around the park better. I don’t think it’s
fun to ride in the air. I’d feel like I could fall down any time.
Alice: Maybe you would like it more at night. It’s wonderful to see the beautiful
lights below your feet.

Ben: Hi, Judy! I can’t believe you came to join us!
Judy: Hello, Ben. I came because I like your idea: when you give, you’re rich. I’m happy that I can do something for the Earth.
Ben: Right. That’s why we had this plan to get our clean beach back. Do you know if Paul’s coming? I remember he had the same idea and said he would try his best to come over.
Judy: But he just called and said he wouldn’t come today because it’s too hot.
Ben: I can’t believe it! He always says, “We can do this and that….”
Judy: Don’t you know him? He only pays lip service to what should be done but seldom does anything.

2. Check every part of your bike carefully.
3. Lear to fix some easy bike problems.

B.How to save money on a bike ride.
