Read and listen to the dialogue. How is Brad feeling? Why?
Josie: What’s up, Brad? You look a bit sad.
Brad: I didn’t get into the swimming team. Not even the reserves.
Josie: Oh no! I’m surprised to hear that. You must feel really fed up.
Brad: Yes, I do.
Josie: I can imagine. Cheer up - we know that you’re a good swimmer. You mustn’t get too down about it.
Brad: I can’t help it. It’s really disappointing.
Josie: Hey, look on the bright side. Now you don’t have to get up early for training every day!
Brad: Yeah, but I really enjoyed all that.
Josie: Don’t worry. It’s not the end of the world. I’m sure you’ll get another chance. You just have to keep improving.
Brad: I suppose I could try again in the autumn. There are more trials then, and I can practise all summer.
Josie: Exactly. It may even be better then. It’s a busy time now anyway, with all the exams and stuff.
Brad: Hey, you’re right. It might not be so bad after all. Thanks, Josie.
