W: Justin, when are you leaving for home?

M: This Sunday, August 28th.

W: Have you got the train ticket yet?

M: Yes. I’ve already got it.

W: What time does your train leave?

M: At half past four in the morning.

W: Good heavens! It’s so early.

M: Yes, but there’re no other trains.

W: Then why won’t you go back home by plane?

M: It’s too expensive. My parents can’t afford that at all.

M: You found a job downtown. That was a long way from home.

W: Yes. I had two hours to travel morning and evening to get back home.

M: Really? Did you continue with your sports?

W: No, I didn’t. Because by the time I got home at night it would have been too late to do any training, and I have my homework to do.

M: When you say no, do you mean none at all?

W: None at all. I once did my training in the field where there were many horses and cows.

M: Oh, but everybody expects sports tracks in these days, don’t they?

W: Yes. But not in those days. That was over ten years ago, you know.
