PRACTICE

_Ann_: Your house is very nice, Trang. _Trang_: Thanks! let's go upstairs. I'll show you my room. _Ann_: I love your dollhouse. It's amazing. Did you make it yourself? _Trang_: Yes. I like building dollhouses very much. _Ann_: Really? Is it hard to build one? _Trang_: not really. All you need is some cardboard and glue. Then just use a bit of creativity. What do you do in your free time? _Ann_: I like horse riding. _Trang_: That's rather unusual. Not many people do that. _Ann_: Actually, it's more common than you think. There are some horse riding clubs in Ha Noi now. I go to the Riders' Club every Sunday. _Trang_: I'd love to go to your club this Sunday. I want to learn how to ride. _Ann_: Sure. My lesson starts at 8 a.m.
