2: Listening and speaking Favorite Web sites.

A: Listen to Joe and Lisa talk about a Web site.

What kind of Web site is it?

Why does Joe like it?

What are you doing, Joe?

I’m on the “Outdoors” Web site.

You know, the one about hiking and camping and stuff.

Huh. A Web site for hikers?

Yeah. They get 25,000 hits a day. So I’m not the only one!

Twenty-five thousand other people read it, too.

That’s amazing.

Well, it has lots of good articles. Some of them are really interesting.

Really? Like what?

Like there’s a really good one today, um, about places to hike, the best places…

In the U.S.?

No. All over the world. There’s a place in Peru, another in Japan, Scotland.

There are some amazing photos.

Look at this.

Yeah, that’s pretty.

But hiking up a mountain and sleeping in a tent doesn’t really look like fun to me.

I hate being cold.

I guess outdoor hobbies aren’t really my thing.

Well, there are competitions here, too, I usually try and enter them.

Let’s see, what’s the competition this month?

Oh, you can win a mountain bike.

I’d love to win that.

Yeah, nice bike.

Huh, I like to cycle.

I didn’t know that.

Yeah, but in a nice warm gym with the TV on.
