Betty: “Yesterday I was busy in the evening because I had a lesson. I completely forgot that I had promised Alice to phone her. So now I have to explain everything to her. I’ve told her that I’m taking private dancing lessons at the moment. Actually, she knows I don’t really like dancing. I only want to learn to dance beautifully because I like a boy who is a wonderful dancer. And you can’t go out with a dancer if you can’t dance at all, can you? Besides, somebody told me Greg only likes girls who can dance well. Naturally, I want to impress him. A dancing lesson lasts an hour. But sometimes we forget to stop because it’s so much fun. For example, yesterday we danced for two hours! We learn different dances there like the waltz, the tango, stuff like that. I still don’t like dancing. But Greg is there, too and at least I am learning everything about him!”

But when she added she had met a cute boy, I understood everything. Betty is ready to do anything for a cute boy! And it seems this one is really cute. He is a wonderful dancer.
