Emma: Hey, youssra! Long time no see! How have you been?

Youssra : Hi, Emma! I've been good, just busy as a bee with school and all. How about you?

Emma: Same here. I'm burning the midnight oil for my exams next week. It's been tough, but I think I'll manage.

Youssra: I get that. I've been hitting the books a lot lately, too. But you know what they say, no pain, no gain!

Emma: Exactly! Speaking of which, I heard you joined the basketball team. How's that going?

Youssra : Oh, it's been great! At first, I felt like a fish out of water, but now I'm really getting the hang of it. Our coach is strict, but he's fair. He always says we need to put our best foot forward.

Emma: That's awesome! I'm sure you'll be the star player in no time. Just keep your chin up and don't throw in the towel when things get tough.

Youssra: Thanks, Emma. I'll keep that in mind. How about you? Any new hobbies or activities?

Emma: Well, I've started learning to play the guitar. It's tough, but I guess you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, right?

Youssra: That's so cool! I bet you'll be playing like a pro soon. Just remember, practice makes perfect.

Emma: Thanks, youssra! It's great to have someone cheering me on. We should catch up more often.

Youssra: Definitely! Let's not be strangers. Maybe we can hang out this weekend and paint the town red.

Emma: Sounds like a plan! See you then!
