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! |
