(以下C代表Cherry，B代表Bryan)
C: Bryan, what sports do you go in for?

C: That' cool. So which football team do you like best'?
B: I'm a firm United supporter. And you?
C: I used to be, too. I like the team which David Beckham joins in.
B: You girls! I don't know why people are so mad about him.
C: Thanks to two things: his bending kicks and his good look.
B: Well, in that case, maybe facial charm3 should be his leading card. After all, the majority of his fans are girls.
C: Maybe. I'm longing for seeing David for myself.
