M: Hello! You seem worried. Can I help you?
W: Oh, I feel so strange with my feet in the skis.
M: So you don’t know how to ski. Is it your first time skiing here?
W: Actually, it’s my first time seeing real white snow.
M: Are you kidding? Where are you from, young lady?
W: I used to live in Singapore. We do not have snow there. It’s always sunny.
M: No wonder. I guess you must be a good swimmer.
W: You bet.  Swimming is my favorite hobby. But I simply don’t know what to do with these skis.
M: Don’t worry. I’m sure you will learn it very quickly. I’ll show you how to move. Now walk like me, all right? Good! Let’s go up the hill and try, shall we? When you want to go up the slope, you should stand sideways and go up step by step, just like a crab.
W: Oh,  that’s really funny. I’ve never walked in this way, but it’s interesting.
M: Let’s move to the gentle slope. It will make it easier.
W: I guess I’m a little nervous.
M: Take it easy.  Trust yourself. Now, keep leaning forward while going down. If you want to stop, you should point the tips together, got it?
W: I see.
M: Now, let’s try. OK. Go! How do you feel? Still afraid?
W: No, not at all. As a matter of fact, I feel quite pleased and proud of myself, thank you very much. You are so kind.
