A For all these reasons, they enjoy meeting other dancers.

 

B Listening to different styles of music also helps.

 

C Travelling long distances to dance schools can be tiring, too.

 

D Attending one of their public performances is a good way of finding out.

 

E If they develop poor technique, they may have problems later on.

 

F Few people know where to find them.

 

G This allows them to compare themselves with teenagers from other schools.

 

H That means they do not waste time travelling from home to dance classes.

A I'm the only woman in this group.

 

B That was a very long time to live in space.

 

C People often ask what food tastes like in space.

E On the other hand, the ISS is a perfect environment to do scientific experiments.

 

F That's the meeting where we discuss what needs to be done during the day.

 

G They like my desserts, and they have a dark bread that I love.

C He always came top of his university class.

 

D As a result, few people wanted to buy frozen food.

 

E They didn't catch many fish because they couldn't keep them fresh.

 

F However, he was unable to afford the teaching fees, and had to leave.

 

G For example, they were taken to nearby towns.

 

H As they pulled out fish, these immediately froze in the extremely cold air.

A That surely isn't the best way to start the day!

 

B And, surprisingly, we often forget that it didn't!

 

C Despite this difficulty, messaging can be much quicker than a conversation.

 

D However, I think it's just nice to stay in touch.

 

E Another reason is that often we just can't wait to see our friends.

 

F There are plenty of good things about messaging too.

 

G One of these, they say, is our connection with our parents.

 

H Many of us message while we're doing other things, like homework.
