A2 Reading Comprehension

Yesterday, I met my coworker, Taro, at a park in Sapporo. We sat on a bench and talked about our weekend plans. Here’s what we said:

Me: Taro, what are you doing this weekend?

Taro: I’m going hiking with my brother. There’s a mountain near our house. What about you?

Me: That sounds great! I’m visiting a new art gallery in the city. They have modern paintings.

Taro: Nice! Do you like art?

Me: Yes, I love it. I also want to try drawing at home. Have you ever tried hiking before?

Taro: Oh, yes, many times. It’s tiring, but the views are amazing. Last time, we saw a deer!

Me: Wow! Let’s share stories on Monday at work.

Taro: Sure, I’d love that.

We also ate ice cream from a nearby stall. It was a fun afternoon.
