B: I'm very pleased with their performances. Timmy can cover the 100 meters in 12 seconds. That's very fast for a kid his age.
A: he's not very good at the long jump though, is he?
B; he's not bad. He can jump a distance of over four meters. I think he just prefers running to jumping. Jimmy's very good at the high jump. He can jump over two meters. Again, that's fine for someone his age.
A; two meters? That means that the high jump bar is above his head! Are any of them good at long-distance running?
B: the longest race we run is the 1500 meters. A few of the boys and one girls can do it in less than five minutes.
A: how are they at swimming?
B; they're ok. I ask them to swim 500 meters each day. That's 20 lengths of the swimming pool. They're not very fast, but that's ok. I just want them to build their strength up and keep in shape.
A; kate is very good at diving from a height of 10 meters.
B: I'd be afraid to jump from that height!
A: I think that these kinds haven't learnt to be afraid yet. She started diving from a lower height, but she soon wanted to go higher.
B; it seems that they really enjoy trying to go faster, higher and further.
