W: Did my magazine come in today? M: Sorry, I have bad news for you. W: What's that – no magazine today?
M: Worse. The magazine's in, but I'm afraid that it's going to be the last issue. Says so on the cover.
W: No more Sports for Women Illustrated? Can I see it? M: Sure, here it is.
W: This is too bad. I really like this magazine. There isn't much news about women in sports.
M: Maybe you should take up sports rather than just read about them. Mother's Day is coming up. How would you like me to get you a basketball?
W: Well, that'd be different from what your sister is likely to get me. But I think basketball is more of a young person's sport. M: Maybe a tennis racket would be better.
W: Maybe. But I'd like to check out what my female friends are doing in terms of sports. I'm sure that many of them will also be disappointed about the magazine.
