| JOYCE: her eyes checked? |
| TASHA: Yes, we did last year. |

| TASHA: Her classes are usually twice a week. Now she wants to swimming. |
| JOYCE: Swimming? Linda used to be the water. |
| TASHA: Oh, and what happened? |
| JOYCE: Well, she had a really great swimming teacher last summer. And now she's a lot. |
| TASHA: Oh, that's great! It isn't to find the right teacher. |
| JOYCE: That's right. |
| TASHA: And how about her piano? |
| JOYCE: Most of the time, she loves it. But lately it's been her to practise. |

| JOYCE: Usually. |
| TASHA: Lisa were interested in music. |
| JOYCE: But she likes to dance. |
| TASHA: That's true. But she just doesn't like piano. To her, dancing is much more fun. |

| TASHA: Isn't that the truth. Remember your own childhood? |
| JOYCE: Sure do. |
