‘Would you like some chocolate?’
‘No, thank you.’
‘Why? I thought that you like chocolate.’
‘Yes, you’re right. I love chocolate.’
‘So why don’t you want it now? Please, take some!’
‘No, thank you. I eat too much chocolate. It’s not good for my health. I want to eat less chocolate.’
‘OK. Now I understand why you didn’t take sugar in your coffee in the morning.’
‘Correct. I usually drink my coffee with sugar, but this month I am not eating anything sweet.’
‘So next month you will eat chocolate again?’
‘Yes, I think I will eat some chocolate again, but only a little.’
‘It’s a good idea. Maybe I will try it, too.’
‘What is a good idea? What will you try?’
‘I will try not to eat chocolate for one month.’
‘And will you also drink coffee without sugar?’
‘I don’t think so. I cannot imagine it. I always drink my coffee with milk and sugar. I never drink it without sugar.’
‘I see. I was like you. But now it is no problem for me. I can drink coffee without sugar. And I like it too!’
