Hello.
Welcome.
"Speak American English with Lyman Holton"
Today, you and I are going to have a conversation.
I'm going to be Lyman, as always ... and you are Kelly.
We're talking about food today.
We want to get something to eat. We're hungry!
Are you ready? Let's begin.
Remember ...
Repeat everything I say for Lyman and Kelly.
One-time, we'll go through this.
Then we'll start the conversation after our practice.
Hi, Lyman. How are you?
Are you repeating?
I'm fine, Kelly. And, how have you been?
I've been okay. No problems.
Let's go do something.
All right. What do you have in mind?
Nothing special. Have you eaten yet?
No, but now that you mention it, I am hungry.
Me too. What sounds good to you? Chinese?
No, I had Chinese for lunch yesterday. Maybe Italian?
Works for me. I haven't eaten Italian for a while.
What kind of Italian food do you like?
I'm not picky, just hungry. You choose.
Well, if you're really hungry, let's go for pizza.
Oh yeah! A large pepperoni with double cheese.
If that doesn't fill us up, nothing will.
I want some of those warm breadsticks too
The ones totally covered with Parmesan cheese?
You read my mind, Kelly!
Not really, Lyman. I just know how much you love cheese.
Yes, I do. Let's go. I am starving.
Okay, good job.
We went through it one time repeating everything
Now ...
Let's begin our first conversation.
You, speak out loud as Kelly.
Just listen when Lyman speaks.
