Speak English Like an American -- Lesson 5
Ted leaves to go visit his girl friend Amber. Ted mother Susan says she doesn’t really like Amber. She wishes him a good time anyway. Ted: See you later, mom. Susan: Where are you going, Ted? Ted: I told Amber I’d drop by. Susan: What are you two going to do? Ted: Maybe go to the movies or to a party. Our plans are still up in the air. Susan: Why don’t you invite her over here? Ted: I don’t want to hang around here. Dad is really down in the dumps. Susan: Is Amber the girl with the nose ring and the purple hair? Ted: Yeah, I am crazy about her. Susan: Don’t take this the wrong way. But she is not exactly my cup of tea. Ted: Take it easy, mom. We are not about to get married. We just enjoy hanging out together. Susan: I guess there is no accounting for taste. Have a good time. Ted: Don’t worry. We will have a blast! Susan: (under her breath) That’s what I’m afraid of! |
