Unit 1 A time to remember 2. Conversation: Where did you learn the skate?p2 A: Oh, I am really sorry. Are you OK? I am fine, but I am not very good at this. Neither am I. Say, are you from south America? Yes, I am originally. I was born in Argentina. Did you grow up there? Yes, I did. But my family moved here ten years ago when I was in junior high school. And where did you learn to skate? Here in the park. This is only my third time. Well, it’s my first time. Can you give me some lessons? Sure, just follow me. By the way, my name is Ted.
