Last week, I had a great conversation with my friend, Aryan. We talked about our favorite subjects in school and what we enjoy doing during the weekend. He asked me, "What are you doing this Saturday?" I told him that I was going to a park, and he asked, "Which park are you visiting?" We also talked about sports, and he asked, "How do you play basketball?" I shared that I practice every weekend, and he said, "Why don’t you teach me some moves?"
