Hello and welcome.
"Speak American English with Lyman Holton"
My name is Lyman Holton.
In this lesson you and me are going to have a conversation...
as two people talking about the hours and days a store is open.
Also, a little bit about social media...
and, does is make me look fat?
Are you ready? Let's begin.
Repeat everything I say for Lyman and Kelly.
Hey, Lyman. Do you know what hours the grocery store is open?
Sure. It's open from 8 AM to 9:30 PM Monday through Saturday.
Is it closed on Sundays?
I don't remember for sure. I think it's open from 12 noon to 6 PM.
Thanks. My new neighbor was asking me about it.
Oh, when did your new neighbor move in, Kelly?
Just yesterday. He seems like a nice guy. He's from Japan.
Oh, really? Japan? That reminds me of an old friend of mine.
You have a friend who lives in Japan?
Yeah. I haven't seen, or heard from, him in years.
Why don't you keep in touch with him? It's easy enough to do.
That's true. I'm not very good at staying in touch with people.
Just do a search for him on the Internet. It's really easy to do.
Hmm... I should do that. His name may turn up someplace.
It's worth a try. Just about everyone is connected through social media now.
That's a good idea, Kelly. Care for a cup of coffee?
Sure, that sounds good. I'm going to drink mine black.
But, you never drink black coffee? You always use cream and sugar.
Yeah, I switched to just black coffee. I've been trying to lose weight.
Why? I've seen people fatter than you. I'm just kidding, Kelly. You look fine!
Let's begin our 1st conversation!
Speak out loud as Kelly. Just listen when Lyman speaks.

Why? I've seen people fatter than you. I'm just getting, Kelly. You look fine!
