Yesterday, I had lunch with my friend Aya at a café in Yokohama. We talked about our favorite hobbies. Here’s our conversation:

Me: Aya, what’s your favorite hobby these days?

Aya: I’ve been learning to play the ukulele. It’s small and fun to play. What about you?

Me: That’s cool! I’ve been gardening. I grow tomatoes and herbs in my backyard.

Aya: Nice! Do you eat the tomatoes?

Me: Yes, they’re so fresh! I made a salad last week. Have you played the ukulele for anyone?

Aya: Not yet, but I want to play at a small concert next month. I’m a bit nervous.

Me: You’ll be great! Let’s have a picnic soon and you can play for me.
