Lesson 25 -- Ted Brings Home More Good News

Speak English Like an American -- Lesson 25

 

Ted tells his family that a talent agent wants to meet him. The agent will fly Ted and Amber to New York. Nicole announces she's been named president of the Spanish club.

Ted:        Amber and I are going to break into the music business. Last night after our concert, a talent agent asked us to meet with him in New York.
Susan:     Congratulations! We'll give you some spending money for your trip.
Ted:        No need. The agent is footing the bill for everything. And when we get
               there, he is going to wine and dine us.
Susan:     Wow, he must think you're the cream of the crop.
Ted:        He thinks we sound like the Goo Goo Dolls.
Nicole:    Who are they?
Ted:        You are really out of it. They are a popular rock band.
Nicole:    Our family is certainly on a winning streak. I was elected president of the Spanish Club today.
Ted:        The Spanish Club? Big deal!
Nicole:    You don't get it, Ted. This is only the beginning. Today, president of the Spanish Club. Tomorrow, ambassador to Spain!
Ted:        Well, Ambassador, you'll need to wrap up my Chemistry homework
            before you leave for the Spanish embassy.
Susan:     A rock star and a diplomat ---- I am so proud of both of you!
