Questions No. 34 and 35
Mike:How about getting Timmy a violin for his birthday?
Pam:Oh, do you want him to play in an orchestra?
Mike:I hope he does, eventually.
Pam:Hmm... how about a saxophone? It’s more fun than the violin.
Mike:But I want to get him a violin while he’s still young.
Pam:Of course age is important for both instruments. Still, I was hoping that Timmy could play jazz someday. But with the violin, he’s stuck with classical music.
Mike:What’s wrong with classical music?
Pam:Nothing. But what’s better about jazz is that you can change the melody as you play. There’s more freedom. It’s more fun.
Mike:More freedom is all very good, but you need to learn to read music first. And classical music is the best for that.
Pam:Well, Timmy can learn to read music while playing jazz on the saxophone.
Mike:Couldn’t he learn the saxophone later if he wants?
Pam:Why don’t we let him choose? What’s important is that he enjoy it.

Questions No. 36 and 37
Joe:Wow, Saki. Look at all your books.
Saki:Yeah, maybe too many, Joe. I bet you read a lot.
Joe:Yeah, but I only read ebooks. They’re more portable.
Saki:Portable?
Joe:Well, for example, on long trips, you don’t have to carry a bunch of books with you, right, Keith?
Keith:That’s right, Joe. And not only that, but ebooks are usually a lot cheaper than paper books.
Saki:Hmm... ebooks do sound appealing, but... what do you think, Beth? Do you read ebooks?
Beth:No. I like looking at the books I collect on my shelf.
Keith:Yeah, Saki’s bookcase does look pretty cool. Those books must’ve cost a lot, though. I save money by buying ebooks.
Beth:That’s so economical, Keith.
Joe:So, how many books do you actually have, Saki?
Saki:Too many. Storage is an issue for me.
Joe:Not for me. I’ve got thousands in my tablet, and it’s still not full.
Keith:I know, Joe. And they probably didn’t cost very much, right?
Joe:No, they didn’t.
Saki:Even with my storage problem, I still prefer paper books because of the way they feel.
Beth:Me, too. Besides, they’re easier to study with.
Keith:In what way, Beth?
Beth:I feel like I remember more with paper books.
Joe:And I remember that we have a test tomorrow. I’d better charge up my tablet.
