B: Well, you can do it alone but I do it with other people. Our college has a special club. A: Does it require special skills or training? B: No, it doesn’t. That’s one of the things I like about it. Anyone can do it. A: Is it popular? B: Yes, I see many people doing it in the morning when I am on my way to college. And there are lots of people doing it when I visit the track in the evening. A: So, is jogging your favorite sport? B: Yep. A: Terrific! Jogging is also my favorite sport! Audio Track 3-7-2/Audio Track 3-7-3 My favorite hobby is nature photography.
