W :
Hey, Jin. What are you planning to do this weekend?
M :
I don’t have any plans, Kate. Why do you ask?
W :
Well, I wanted to invite you to join the meditation club that I lead. We’ve been practicing meditation for two years now, and we’re looking for new members to join by September 5.
M :
Meditation? I’ve never tried that before.
W :
You should give it a try. We usually sit still and focus on our breathing for about 10 minutes. It’s really calming.
M :
Hmm... I don’t know. I’m not sure if I can sit still for that long.
W :
Don’t worry. We start with short sessions and gradually increase the length as people get more comfortable.
M :
What are the benefits of meditation?
W :
It can help you concentrate better, reduce stress, and promote emotional well-being. You should try it.
M :
Okay. I’ll give it a shot. How do I join?
W :
Great! We have sessions every Monday at 12:30 in room 501. You’re welcome to come and check it out. Our community is really supportive.
M :
Thanks for letting me know.
