W: Welcome to our programme, John.
M: Thank you.
W: You have been playing basketball in the U.S.A. for quite a few years. Have you [alculated how much money you’ve made?
M: No. Seriously speaking, I haven’t done that.
W: It must be a very large mount. Everybody knows that. What significance does it have for you?
M: At the beginning, I was a little bit excited. But after that, I didn’t feel anything special.
W: Why were you excited?
M: It was a big change for me, a huge increase in my income.
W: Can you make a comparison?
M: At least I can say ! have much more money than I used to. I had a dream when I was a small child that I would buy a lot of toys and a lot of delicious food when I had money. But when I had money
finally, I suddenly lost all the interest in these things. I just thought how childish my thoughts had been.
W: Childish? Really?
M: Yeah. However, it was those childish thoughts that gave me the drive to study hard as a student and to train hard as an athlete.
W: Which do you like better, the way you are now or the way you used to be?
M: Well, whenever people ask me what film or music I like, I find they are hard questions because it depends on the mood I’m in. When I’m happy, sad films aren’t good choices.
W: Do you mean it depends on your mood?
M: Don’t you think so? When you feel something is the most important thing in your life, then it becomes the most important thing-- the best thing in your life.
W: I see. Let’s take a break and then we’ll move on to our next topic.
M: OK.
