82. Being around Nature

Ruby is trying to get her friend， Tony， to go bird-watching with her.

R： You really should get some exercise， Tony. Why don’t you come bird-watching with me this weekend？

T： That sounds boring. What’s bird-watching all about anyway？

R： Bird watchers study birds in their natural surroundings. It’s a great hobby.

T： What’s the fun in that？

R： We enjoy listening to different birds sing， looking at them fly and watching how they behave.

T： What else？

R： Well， it’s also relaxing to be around nature. And walking in the mountains helps keep you fit.

T： Nothing’s more relaxing than watching TV in my air-conditioned room.

R： You’re hopeless！

T： And you’re birdbrained！
