M:It’s much better than last week.It was too warm then.

W:I’m glad summer is over.I like autumn best.

M:So do I.It’s neither too hot nor too cold.The sky is clear and blue.

W:It’s a good time to have a picnic.Do you want to have one this weekend?

M:I’d love to,but I think it’s going to rain.The weatherman said it will.

W:I don’t think he’s right.It hasn’t rained for a week.

M:But he is usually right in his weather news.

W:I’m sure we’ll have fine weather for our picnic.

M: What do you usually do in your spare time?

W:I have joined a singing group and we practice two afternoons each week.

M:That’s a very interesting thing to do.

W:Yes.It’s a small group of only fifteen girls and boys.But nobody has been late for the practice.

M:I see.How many songs can you sing now?

W:We started only three months ago,but we’ve practiced eight songs.

M:Are you going to perform any time?

W:Yes,there will be a school show next month and we are going to sing a song in it.We are practicing a new song now.It’s written by one of the singers in our group.

M:Really? What’s the name of the song?

W:Sunny Days.

M:That’s a nice name.I hope to listen to it soon.Can I visit you when you practice?

M:Okay.
