生活英语情景口语:我们一起做晚饭吧...

Julia: do you have any plans for dinner tonight?

Lucas: no, I was thinking of putting a frozen pizza in the oven or something. How about you?

J: I was thinking maybe we could make dinner together tonight. What do you think?

L: I'm absolutely useless at cooking!

J: I could teach you how to cook something healthy. Frozen pizza are so bad for you!

L: I know they aren't good for me, but they are cheap, convenient, and fairly tasty.

J: I recently saw a piece for spicy¹ chicken curry² in a maganize. Maybe we could try that?

L: yeah, why not. Do you have all the ingredients?

J: I bought all the ingredients this morning, so let's start!

L: what do we do first?

J: first, you need to wash the vegetables and then chop them into little pieces.

L: ok. Should I heat the wok³?

J: yes. Once it gets hot, put a little oil in it, add the vegetables and stir-fry them for a few minutes.

L: what about the chicken?

J: that needs to be cut into thin strips about 3 cm long and then it can be stir-fried on its own until its cooked through.

L: how about the rice?

J: I'll prepare it. Do you prefer white rice or brown rice?

L: white rice, please. None of that healthy brown stuff for me!
