Trixie: No, he isn’t playing volleyball. He is
playing baseball.
Shaine: Do you know what body parts are use to
play baseball?
Trixie: Yes, clear mind and eyes are important.
He also needs strong hands and feet to
become a good baseball player
Shaine: Do you think he is fit and healthy?
Trixie: Yes, he looks fit and healthy but he is
sometimes sickly. He sleeps late at night
watching television.
Almira: Maybe he has to eat nutritious food. That
boy must be drinking milk and has to drink
at least eight glasses of water every day
