-------Lesson Dialog-------

----Formal ----

Sofia: Banen er frygtelig med alt det mudder! Det skal nok blive et sjovt løb i år.

Mia: Du skulle ikke have deltaget i løbet ligesom min bror?

Sofia: Nej, jeg synes, det må være forfærdeligt at løbe så tæt på andre på så lidt plads.

Mia: Så du nøjes med at kigge på? Jeg tror, der er mange på festivalen, der har det på samme måde.

Sofia: Jeg vil hellere deltage i et af de mange kvindeløb senere i år.

Mia: Hvordan foregår det? Jeg overvejer at deltage i ét.

Sofia: Du kan tilmelde dig på nettet. Du får både et nummer og en goodie bag. Nogle gader bliver også afspærret.

Mia: Så der er plads nok at løbe på? Jeg har hørt, at det næsten er umuligt at overhale andre.

Sofia: Nogle tager det meget seriøst og råber ad andre, så de flytter sig for dem.

Mia: Det lyder en smule uretfærdigt. Det burde være lige fair for alle.

Sofia: Ja, men andre deltagere bliver åbenbart irrelevante for den type løbere.

Mia: Det virker også lidt asocialt. Jeg kunne forestille mig, at mange også gør det for hyggens skyld.

Sofia: Især efter løbet når alle får kage. Desværre får din bror kun ildelugtende mudder i dag.

----Formal English----

Sophia: The track is horrible with all that mud! Surely, it'll be a fun race this year.

Mia: Shouldn't you be participating in the race like my brother?

Sophia: No, I think it must be awful to run so close to others in such little space.

Mia: So you'll settle for watching? I think there are many at the festival who feel the same way.

Sophia: I'd rather participate in one of the many women's races later this year.

Mia: How does it work? I'm considering participating in one.

Sophia: You can sign up online. You get both a number and a goodie bag. Some streets will also be blocked.

Mia: So there's space enough to run? I've heard that it's almost impossible to overtake others.

Sophia: Some take it more seriously and yell at others so they'll move for them.

Mia: That sounds a bit unfair. It should be equally fair for everyone.

Sophia: Yes, but apparently other participants become irrelevant to that type of runner.

Mia: It also seems a little antisocial. I could imagine that many also do it just for fun.

Sophia: Especially after the race, when everyone gets cake. Unfortunately, your brother will only get smelly mud today.
