Ashley: do you like playing games?
David:I like playing computer games, but I'm not really into board games.
A: how about individual games like the Rubik's cube or solitaire?
D: the Rubik's cube is so difficult to solve that I think it should be banned!
A:if I taught you how to do it, I'm sure you could solve it.
D: how did you figure out how to slove the Rubik's cube?
A: I didn't really have to figure it out. I just followed the instructions!
D: I had no idea there were a set of instructions. I thought everyone who could solve it were all geniuses!
A: hints are really important when you're solving puzzles. If you give me some hints about playing that PS2 game, I’ll show you how to solve the Rubik's cube.
D: it's a deal.
A: do you remember, years ago, when everybody at the New Year's party had yo-yos?
D: yeah. That was a strange party. Can you still do any of those yo-yo tricks?
A: I don't know. I haven't tried yo-yo since that party!
D: I could never figure out how to use my yo-yo.
A: if you don't start when you're young, it's hard to get the hang of it.
D: let's get started with this game then.
A: ok.
