Daniel: Hello, Mark. How are you today?
Mark: I am fine, thank you. How are you, Daniel?
Daniel: I am great! I don’t have school today so I am going to play baseball.
Mark: I didn’t know you like to play baseball.
Daniel: Yes, I love to play baseball. Also, I like to watch baseball on television.
Mark: Who is your favorite player?
Daniel: My favorite player is Barry Bonds.
Mark: Why do you like him?
Daniel: I like him because he is strong and fast. Also, I like him because he is a very good player.
Mark: I agree, he is a very good player, but I do not like him.
Daniel: Why not?
Mark: I do not like him because he took steroids. Taking steroids helps players get stronger and faster without working hard. It is like cheating.
Daniel: Oh, I did not know that.
