Kyu : You don't seem to be eating at all. Aren't you hungry?
Sook : Well, I'm on a diet.
Kyu : But why? You are not fat at all.
Sook : Thank you for saying so, but I really have to lose some weight.
You know, the summer is just around the corner and I want to get into shape before the summer comes.
Kyu : Do you exercise regularly?
Sook : I used to go swimming two or three times a week, but not any more.

Idon't have time for it. How about you?
Kyu: I go jogging every day and play basketball on weekends.
Sook : Wow. I'm impressed. Now I can see why you are so fit.
Kyu : If you really want to get into shape, you'd better do regular exercise instead of going on a diet.
Sook : Thank you for the advice. I'll keep that in mind.
