Sakamoto: What do you do in your free time at home in China?

Fey: Well, I read a lot, and I really enjoy playing the piano.

Sakamoto: What kind of books are you interested in?

Fey: Mainly mystery novels, but I'm also very interested in history books.

Sakamoto: Really? Do you have much time to read?

Fey: I don't have very much time to read because I'm so busy at work, but I try to make time.

Sakamoto: I have the same problem! How long have you been playing the piano?

Fey: Since I was about 7 or 8, I guess.

Sakamoto: You must be a fine player. What do you usually play?

Fey: Chopin! He's my favourite composer. How about you? Can you play any musical instruments?

Sakamoto: I had piano lessons when I was a child, but I don't play anymore.

Fey: Why not?

Sakamoto: I don't have the time!
