Hello. Welcome.
"Speak American English with Lyman Holton"
My name is Lyman Holton.
Today, you and I are going to have a conversation...
as two people in a restaurant with a beautiful buffet.
Are you ready? Let's begin.
Repeat everything I say for Lyman and Kelly.
I heard this restaurant has the best buffet in the city.
Yeah, I heard the same thing. I'm glad I finally got to come here.
Lyman, do you want to sit in a booth or at a table?
I prefer a booth. They're more comfortable.
Okay. I like booths too. They're more roomy and private.
Yeah, I know, Kelly. People are always bumping into me when I sit at a table.
This looks like a good place to sit. Are you ready to order?
There isn't any "ordering" here. We just grab a plate and get our food.
Oh, so we just pay on the way out?
That's right. We get our own food and drinks, and there's no tipping.
Ah, I love these all-you-can-eat places.
Yes, me too. There's such a wide variety of delicious foods to choose from.
Right! And, all for a reasonable price. Who could ask for more?
I'm going to start with some of that smoked salmon.
Wow. That does look good! But, I'm going for the pasta first.
Okay, Kelly. See you back at the booth.
Oh, my gosh! Did you see the dessert table? It's incredible!
Oh yeah, I'm going to dive into some of that pecan pie before we leave.
I'll be right beside you, Lyman, throwing down chocolate cake and ice cream.
I've got to get to that salad bar next. The watermelon is calling my name.
Let's begin our 1st conversation.
Speak out loud as Kelly. You are Kelly.
Just listen when Lyman speaks
