“Do you want to come with me?” Sally asked her brother. “I’m going to meet some friends at the bike course(赛道,路线)down the block. We’re going to practice for the race next week.”
“No, thanks,” Mark replied. “Sam’s coming over to play basketball.”

After the race Mark saw his sister. “Wow, you must have done a good job in the race. What place did you get?” Mark asked.
“Third place!” Sally answered excitedly.
“That’s great! I came in ninth place. But I’ll do better next year because I’ll be 46 enough to practice the course with you,” Mark made a face at his sister and replied.
