翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Did you see the skiing photos Xiao Chen posted recently? He looked really cool.
Huahua: I saw them too. It looks like a lot of fun. I’m thinking about whether I should learn how to ski.
Qingqing: I heard that if you sign up for a ski class, there will be a coach to guide you through the practice.
Huahua: But I’m a little afraid of falling, and the equipment seems kind of expensive.
Qingqing: Everyone definitely falls at the beginning, but we can start with a beginner’s course — it’s safer.
Huahua: You’re right. What about you? Do you want to come too?
Qingqing: Count me in. We can first look around to see where they offer coaching and beginner-friendly classes.
Huahua: Sounds great. If we both happen to be free, let’s go to a ski school together and give it a try.
