Tamal:            Hi, my friend! Nasreen and I are reporters for the 

                       English Club Magazine. Would you mind answering 

                       some questions?

Sima:              Sure. No problem. It's my pleasure. 

Tamal:           Could you tell me your name and which class you

                         are in?

Sima:             I'm Sima. I'm in Class 5.

Tamal:          How do you spend your leisure time, Sima? 

Sima:            Well, I like to walk in the park. I also like to sing. 

                       My cousin lives in the UK. Sometimes, I talk to her 

                       and her friends on the internet.

Nasreen:      So, talking on the internet keeps you connected. 

Sima:            That's right. 

Tamal:

Biju:              (to Biju) Hello! Can I ask you the same questions? 

Biju:               My name's Biju and I'm in Class 5, too. I love 

                       swimming. It keeps me fit. I also like painting. 

                       I'm not very good, but painting makes me happy. 

Tamal:          What about reading? Do either of you like reading?

Biju:               I do. I often read magazines in my free time. I like 

                      magazines about sports, especially football and cricket. 

Sima:           Oh, I like to read, too. I love reading funny stories, 

                     especially stories of Nasiruddin Hojja.
