M: Hi, Alice, have you made any New Year's resolutions?

W: Just the usual. I'd like to lose some weight, and I want to save some money.

M: Come on! Everybody makes those resolutions.

W: I know, Henry. Well, I hope I'll get a good job after I graduate this summer, but that's not a resolution. I'm going to work harder. How about you?

M: Hmm. I stopped smoking last June. That was last year's promise to myself.

W: So what do you want to do this year?

M: I want to start getting more exercise. I have to lose weight, so I'd like to join a health club.

W: I'd like that, too. Jeff told me he'd like to treat himself to a really nice vacation.

M: Oh? Where does he think he would go?

W: He might go to a quiet beach in Mexico, or go fishing in Canada. He hasn't made up his mind yet.

W: Can I help you?

M: Yes, I'm looking for a flat.

W: To buy or to rent?

M. Oh, to rent.

W: How much do you want to pay?

M: About two hundred a month.

W: Well, I've got one here on Sydney Road. It's two hundred and fifty a month.

M. How big is it?

W: It has a kitchen-dinner, a bathroom and one bedroom.

M: Well, actually, I'd prefer something bigger if that's possible.

W: Yes, I think so. Here's an interesting one. It's opposite the park.

M: How much is it?

W: It's three hundred a month. It's the biggest flat we've got in this area.

M: What's it like?

W: Well, there are two bedrooms, a sitting room, a kitchen and a bathroom.

M: It sounds very interesting. Can I go and see it?

W: Of course, sir. Can I have your name and address?

M: So, what do you want to do tomorrow?

W: Well, let's look at this city guide here. [ okay ! ] Uh, here's something interesting. [ Oh ! ] Why don't we first visit the art museum in the morning?

M: Okay. I like that idea. And where do you want to eat lunch?

W: How about going to an Indian restaurant? [ Humm. ] The guide recommends one downtown a few blocks from the museum.

M: Now that sounds great. After that, what do you think about visiting the zoo? [ Oh... umm ...well... ] Well, it says here that there are some very unique animals not found anywhere else.

W: Well, to tell you the truth, I'm not really interested in going there. [ really?] Yeah. Why don't we go shopping instead? There are supposed to be some really nice places to pick up souvenirs.

M: Nah, I don't think that's a good idea. We only have a few travelers checks left, and I only have fifty dollars left in cash.

W: No problem. We can use your credit card to pay for my new clothes.

M: Oh, no. I remember the last time you used my credit card for your purchases.

W: Oh well. Let's take the subway down to the seashore and walk along the beach.

M: Now that sounds like a wonderful plan.

W: Hello! Have you been waiting long?

M: Not very long. It's good to see you. How was your trip? When did you leave?

W: Just before noon. I had lunch on the plane.

M: What did they give you?

W: Salad and sandwiches, and cake for dessert.

M: Have you picked up your bag yet?

W: No. It's a big one, I'm sorry to say. I hope they put it on the plane!

M: I hope so, too...Here's the Baggage Claim. But the things from your plane aren't here yet. What does your bag look like?

W: It's a big black one. Here's the truck now. Look at all those bags!

M: And look at all the people. Let's stand over here. There's a big black bag.

W: That's not mine. Mine is bigger. There it is.

W: Let’s check the number. This says 703 - 9926.

W: That's my bag. I'm sorry it's so heavy.

M: Never mind. Let's go out that door...Wait here with the bag while I get my car from the parking lot.

     Now let's go on with the topic about "My Interests". When my interest changed from space to the sea, I never expected that my friends would be so surprised and puzzled. Yet I can understand their feelings. As I have been writing and talking about space flight for the best part of 20 years, a sudden switch of interest to the depth of the sea does seem rather strange. To explain, I'd like to share my reasons behind this unusual change of mind. The first excuse I give is an economic one. Underwater exploration is so much cheaper than space flight. The first round-trip ticket to the moon is going to cost at least 10 billion dollars if you include research and development. By the end of this century, the cost will be down to a few million. On the other hand, the diving suit and a set of basic tools needed for skin-diving can be bought for 20 dollars. My second argument is more philosophical. The ocean, surprisingly enough, has many things in common with space. In their different ways, both sea and space are equally hostile environment. If we wish to survive in either for any length of time, we need to have special equipment. The diving suit helped the design of the space suit. The feelings and the emotions of a man in the deep sea will be much like those of a man out in space.
