Unit three, lesson nine, exercise two A, two B.

I'm John Doe. I'm a journalist with an important magazine. The other day I saw a white-haired man sitting in front of his house. I could see the wrinkles on his face and neck and his wrinkled hands.

Articles on the secrets of living to an old age are always popular with our readers, so I decided to ask him some questions to find out the secret of his long life.

Reporter: Is it all right, sir, if I talk with you for just a moment?

Old Man: Sure, I'll be delighted. Until not very long ago, I lived a full and active life.

Reporter: Well, I say that a lot of activity helps one to live a long time.

Old Man: That's true, very true. I still feel very well, though I walk more slowly now.

Reporter: Is it all right if I smoke a cigarette?

Old Man: Sure, go ahead.

Reporter: I suppose you don't smoke or drink.

Old Man: On the contrary. I've always smoked my head off. Until little while ago, I went dancing every night. As for alcoholic drinks.

Reporter: You mean to say that you've done all these things in your life?

Old Man: Of course. Why does that surprise you so much?

Reporter: I've always been told that doing those things is bad for the health.

Old Man: I never thought about it.

Reporter: I suppose that you have another secret. A lot of fruit, vegetables, a lot of exercise in the fresh air.

Old Man: Don't be silly. I hate exercise in the fresh air. I don't like any kind of vegetables.

Reporter: I can't believe it.

Old Man: What do you mean? What are you talking about?

Reporter: It's just that I can't understand how you've been able to live like that and to have lasted so long. Tell me, how old are you?

Old Man: I'm fifty-three!
