Lesson 16 -- Bob Brings the Cookies to the Villiage Market

Speak English Like an American -- Lesson 16

Bob brings Carol the cookies. He tells Carol that baking the cookies was easy because he had lots of help.

 

Carol:  Bob, how did the baking go?

Bob:    Slow at first, but we are getting the hang of it.

Carol:  Once you learn the ropes, it becomes second nature.

Bob:    To tell you the truth, I thought that baking 2,000 cookies
           would be a pain in the neck. But we managed to round up
           some helpers, and it was a piece of cake.

Carol:  Well, thanks for coming in person with the cookies.

Bob:    No problem. When will you need more?

Carol:  It depends on how many we sell today.

Bob:    How many do you think you'll sell?

Carol:  Maybe 500, maybe 2,000. Your guess is as good as mine.
           In any case, I'll keep you posted.

Bob:    Okay, just give me a ring as soon as you know.
