Hello everyone and welcome to EnglishPod.
My name is Marco.
My name is Katherine and today we're going to be talking about a very fun game.
That's right, today we're going bowling,
a very popular sport amongst many people and so we're going to take a look at how you play this sport and all the vocab related to this great game.
Alright, so let's take a listen to our dialogue and we'll be right back.
Alright,
so the first thing you need to know about bowling is that you should never cross that line where the lane begins.
Why not?
Because they polish and oil it to make the ball slide down.
If you step there, you'll slip and fall.
Okay, so I got my bowling shoes, my ball,
our names on the scorecard, so now how the heck do I play this?
You throw the ball down the lane and try to knock down all the pins.
If you do, that is called a strike.
If you don't knock them all down in the first try, then you get a chance to get the spare.
After 10 frames, we add up the points and see who has the most.
300 is a perfect score, but very hard to get.
Got it.
OK, I'm going to give it a go.
