Speak English Like an American -- Lesson 16
Bob brings Carol the cookies. He tells Carol that baking the cookies was easy because he had lots of help. Carol: Bob, how did the baking go? Bob: Slow at first, but we are getting the hang of it. Carol: Once you learn the ropes, it becomes second nature. Bob: To tell you the truth, I thought that baking 2,000 cookies would be a pain in the neck. But we managed to round up some helpers, and it was a piece of cake. Carol: Well, thanks for coming in person with the cookies. Bob: No problem. When will you need more? Carol: It depends on how many we sell today. Bob: How many do you think you'll sell? Carol: Maybe 500, maybe 2,000. Your guess is as good as mine. In any case, I'll keep you posted. Bob: Okay, just give me a ring as soon as you know.
