A. Now listen. Why hasn’t Hal made much progress with his saxophone?

Hey, what’s this saxophone doing here?

I have a lesson after work.

You must be getting pretty good by now.

I wish! I haven’t made much progress lately.

Huh. How come?

Well, you see, I used to practice every morning. But then I started this job, and somehow I can’t get myself to practice at night.

Well, you must be tired after work.

Yeah. But you know, I just joined a band.

That must be fun.

Yeah, it really is, and it keeps me motivated to practice. In fact, that’s why I joined.

I see. Well, let me know if your band performs anywhere. I want to hear you play!
