M：My brother Mike is just on a course at the Green part camping school.
W：Really? What made him decide to do that?
M：Well, for one thing, some boys in his class decided to do it and they dared him to go with them.
W：You mean he really didn’t want to go?
M： I think he wanted to go, but I think he was also a little frightened. Of course, now that he has done it, he is very pleased with himself,and he’s always talking about it.
W：So he enjoyed it, didn’t he?
M：Not exactly. I think he’s enjoying the feeling of having done it more than actually doing it.
W：What sorts of thing did he do?
M： Em, (1)_______________________________________. One thing he had to do was to capsize a canoe and then ride it again without getting out.He said the water was very cold, but he hardly noticed it at the time.
W：Why not?
M：He was too busy riding the canoe.
W：That doesn’t sound very comfortable at this time of the year.
M：That’s what I said when he told me.(2)______________________________________________.
W：Was he frightened?
M：He was first, apparently. But then he got used to it.
W：It seems to me that the course did him a lot of good.I expect it made him more self-reliant.
M：That’s what he said. And now, he wants me to go.
