Luyện nghe Speak English Around Town - (Lesson 13: At a Dinner Party)



Delayed by traffic, Lori and Mike arrive late to a dinner party. Their hosts, Lisa and Todd, tell them not to worry and then take their drink order.

Lori: I'm sorry we're late. We got held up in traffic on Route 95.

Mike: There was a pile-up on the highway involving three cars. A deer ran across the highway.

Lori: We were sitting in traffic for an hour. We would've been better off walking here!

Lisa: What a nightmare! Come on in and chill out now. Join the party!

Lori: (handing Lisa a bottle of wine): This is for you and Todd.

Lisa: Thank you.

Lori: (handing Lisa a toy car): And this is a little something for your son.

Lisa: Oh, how kind of you! You shouldn't have.

Lori: It's our pleasure.

Todd: Can I get you a drink?

Mike: A drink would hit the spot. What do you have?

Todd: You name it, we've got it.

Lori: I'll take a Bloody Mary.*

Mike: Lori, if you took Tylenol for your toothache, you'd be better off not drinking any alcohol!

Lori: Make that a virgin** Bloody Mary! Hold the vodka.

Todd: And what can I get you, Mike?

Mike: I'll take a vodka on the rocks.

Todd: Coming right up!

* Bloody Mary - a drink containing vodka, tomato juice, and usually other spices or flavorings

** A virgin drink is a mixed drink that does not include the alcohol.
