Mark:
Hey, Lisa. How was your day?
Lisa:
Pretty good. It was really busy. I'm glad it's over now. How about you?
Mark:
Same here. I just finished dinner. So, when do you usually eat in the evening?
Lisa:
I usually eat around 7:30. Tonight, I had some pasta with vegetables.
Mark:
Oh, well, that sounds nice and healthy. Do you usually cook at home?
Lisa:
Most of the time. I like cooking, but sometimes I order takeout if I'm tired.
Mark:
I know the feeling. And, well, after dinner, do you usually watch TV or something else?
Lisa:
Yeah. Sometimes, I watch a show or a movie, usually on my phone. If I'm not in the mood for that, I just read a book.
Mark:
Nice. I usually check the online news or listen to some music, which helps me relax.
Lisa:
The news helps you relax?
Mark:
[Laughing] Well, okay, it doesn't help me always relax, but, uh, I guess. I guess the music is what helps me relax.
Lisa:
Yeah, that makes sense. You know, around 10:00, I start getting ready for bed. Do you go to bed early?
Mark:
Not really. To be honest, I try to be in bed by 11:00, but sometimes it's midnight, and even later if I have a lot of homework.
Lisa:
Well, if I have a lot of homework, I have to stay up later, too.
Mark:
Well, uh, I'll let you go so you can finish that wonderful homework. See you tomorrow.
Lisa:
See you tomorrow.
