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 more to do with recipes that look at specific needs, like including ingredients that will help build up your bones and make them stronger, that sort of thing.

而是更多地做特定需求的食谱，比如食谱中加入了有助于骨骼生长和增强体质的食材。

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