Learning a New Skill

Listen to a conversation about learning a new hobby and answer the questions. Read the transcript to help you if needed.

Amy: Hey David, I heard you started taking photography classes. How’s it going?

David: It’s great, Amy! I’ve always wanted to take better photos, especially when I go hiking.

Amy: Is it difficult? I’ve thought about joining, but I’m worried it’s too technical.

David: It was a bit confusing at first. You have to learn about light and shutter speeds, which can be tricky. But the teacher is excellent and explains everything clearly. We even go out into the city once a week to practice.

Amy: Do I need to buy a professional camera?

David: Not necessarily. Some people in the class just use their smartphones, but I decided to buy a second-hand DSLR online. It wasn’t too expensive.

Amy: Maybe I’ll come along next Tuesday then!

Answer the questions.
