Speak English Like an American -- Lesson 4

 

Nicole tells her mother Susan about her successful presentation at school. Her bother Ted overhears and interrupts the conversation.

Susan:   How was your day at school today, Nicole?
Nicole:  It was great, mom. I gave a presentation on Hillary Clinton in government class.
             Afterwards, my teacher paid me a compliment.
Susan:   What did she say?
Nicole:  She said my presentation was head and shoulders above the others.
Susan:   Way to go!
Nicole:  She also said I should go into politics, just like Hillary.
Ted:      You are so gung ho about school. It drives me crazy.
Nicole:  Ted, don't butt in! You're just jealous.
Ted:      Right, you hit the nail on the head. I'm green with envy.
Nicole:  Would you just shut up? You're on thin ice with me right now.
Ted:      Oh no! Look at me. I'm shaking on my shoes!
