Dialogue

Jerry: Hey, Alexis. Great to see you. Ready for a bit of

skating?

Alexis: Yeah! I haven’t been roller-skating for ages.

Jerry: Me neither. But I’m a natural when it comes to sports.

So, what’s in your backpack?

Alexis: A few things: a helmet, some knee pads, elbow pads,

gloves, a waterproof jacket... the usual skating safety

gear.

Jerry: We’re only going around the park!

Alexis: Well, you never know...

Jerry: I don’t bother with helmets and knee pads or that sort

of stuf. I ind it gets in the way. I can’t maximise my

performance.

Alexis: Don’t you worry about getting hurt?

Jerry: No! I love danger. Just the other day, I went climbing

on this climbing wall and I didn’t even use a safety

harness. And I never wear shin pads when I play

football. If I get hurt, I just ignore the pain.

Alexis: Well, I’m not that brave.

Jerry: Hey, come on, let’s get going!

Alexis: Wait a sec. I need to get my gear

on. [Alexis puts on her helmet, knee

pads and gloves. Then they start

skating through the park.]

Jerry: Come on, slow coach! Oh, this is

amazing! It’s so much better without a helmet! I

can feel the wind in my hair! You should take yours of

and... [Suddenly, he crashes into another skater.]

Alexis: Oh no! Are you OK?

Jerry: Ow! It really hurts. I think I’ve cut my knee.

Alexis: Oh, come on! It’s just a little graze.

Jerry: [crying] Ow, ow! It really hurts. I think you should call

an ambulance?

Alexis: [smiles] Come on! You’ll be all right... Just try and

ignore the pain.

Jerry: [crying] Ow!
