Conversation 3

Man: What was life like in the army?

Woman: It was good, but it was very hard.

Man: Really, how so.

Woman: Well, we were always busy. Every day we would get up really early. Then we would march for ten miles. After that we would do more training.

Man: Wow, what would you do in the afternoon?

Woman: More training. Usually, we would’t stop training until late.

Man: That is so tough. How much sleep did you get?

Woman: Not much. We would usually get about six hours a night. It wasn’t enough though.

Man: Do you miss it?

Woman: Yes, sometimes.
