Though in fact most of the people who attend the classes find it's a nice way of getting to know one another.

事实上，大多数参加课程的人都认为这是一种了解彼此的好方法。

They're quite new, they just opened six months ago, but I've heard good things about them.

I don't know if I'd be interested in that.

我不太确定这是不是我想要的。

Official: Well, I don't think they particularly focus on low calorie diets or weight loss.

It's free and you don't need to book or anything, just turn up at 7.30.
