Lesson 41: THE FOOD TASTES GREAT

  • How do you like the food?
  • It tastes really great. Did you cook it?
  • Yes. I made it this afternoon. Would you like some more?
  • OK, just a little though. I’m really full.
  • Oh. Would you like some soup instead?
  • What kind is it?
  • Tomato and rice. Have you had that before?
  • No. This is my first time. How does it taste?
  • It’s good, try it. What do you think?
  • Wow. It is good. Did you make that also?
  • Yes.
  • You’re a really good cook.
  • Thanks, next time I’ll make chicken soup for us.
  • That sounds good. Did you study cooking in school?
  • No, I learned by myself. I have a good cookbook that I read when I have time. 

Lesson 42: HELPING A FRIEND MOVE

  • Kelly, will you help me take these things to the car?
  • OK, which car do you want me to put them in?
  • Bring them to my wife’s car.
  • Which one is hers?
  • The blue SUV in front of the Honda.
  • What should I take first?
  • That chair over there, but please be careful with it. It was a gift from my mother-in-law.
  • Don’t worry, I won’t drop it. Wow, it’s really heavy. I don’t think I can move it by myself.
  • Let me help you with that. I don’t want you to hurt your back.
  • Where are you taking all this stuff?
  • Didn’t I tell you? We’re moving to Florida?
  • You’re moving now? I knew you were moving, but I thought you said you were moving next month.
  • Yes, that’s true, but my wife found a new apartment on the Internet the other day and she wants to move right away.

 

Lesson 43: VISITING FAMILY

  • Judy, your husband has a really nice car.
  • Thanks. It’s a lot better than mine, and it’s new.
  • Where are you going?
  • We’re going to visit my sister in the city.
  • I didn’t know your sister lives in the city, when did she move there?
  • About a year ago. She lives in an apartment on 3rd street, across from the public library.
  • I see. It’s almost 5:00 PM now, don’t you think there will be a lot of traffic?
  • Oh, we’re not driving. We’re going to take the subway. The subway only takes about 20 minutes.
  • Yes, but it can be very crowded around this time. I always feel uncomfortable taking the subway.
  • I take the subway to work every day, so I’m used to it now.
  • Doesn’t your mother live in the city?
  • Yes, she’s lived there for about ten years.
  • I remember when she moved there. Apartments were a lot cheaper then.
  • I know what you mean. It’s hard to find anything that’s reasonable now.
  • Have a good time. Next time you’re free, give me a call and we’ll go play poker.
  • See you later.

Lesson 44: LOOKING AT VACATION PICTURES

  • Jim, I heard you took a trip to San Diego. Is that right?
  • Yeah, I just got back this morning.

  • Did you take any pictures?
  • Yes, I have them with me. Do you want to look at them?
  • Sure, I love looking at photos.
  • This one is of my wife and me on the beach, and this one is our daughter Emily standing next to my wife.

  • I know, they look very similar.
  • Where was this picture taken?
  • That was taken at the train station before we left.

  • What’s the reason you are sending her flowers?
  • Today’s her birthday and she told me she wants me to buy her flowers.
  • Do you know what kind of flowers she likes?
  • I’m not sure. I know I should know that, but I can’t remember right now.

  • More than six years.
  • That’s a long time.
  • Yeah, I started to learn English when I was in high school.
