Weekend Talk

Listen to two people talk about their weekend.


Todd: Key, Katie. How was your weekend?

Katie: It was really great.

Todd: What did you do on Saturday?

Katie: On Saturday, I went to the library with my friends.

Todd: Okay.

Katie: I read lots of books and I had a really, really relaxing time.

Todd: Wow. Sounds like you took it easy.

Katie: Yeah, I did.

Todd: Yeah, we need to take a break sometimes.

Katie: For sure.

Todd: Did you do anything else on Saturday?

Katie: On Saturday evening, I went to a restaurant with my co-workers.

Todd: Oh, nice. What kind of restaurant?

Katie: It was a restaurant that sells only chicken wings.

Todd: Really?

Katie: Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Todd: Was it good chicken?

Katie: It was so good. It was very delicious.

Todd: Oh, okay. I think I know that place.

Katie: Yeah?

Todd: Yeah, it has the very spicy chicken.

Katie: Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Todd: Oh, that place is crazy.

Katie: It's my favorite.

Todd: I ate there once. The chicken was too spicy.

Katie: Too spicy.

Todd: Yeah.

Katie: Did you eat it?

Todd: I did and it hurt. It burned my mouth.

Katie: Oh, no.

Todd: Yeah. I definitely burned my mouth. So what about Sunday? Did you do anything on Sunday?

Katie: On Sunday I went shopping with my friends.

Todd: Oh, did you buy anything?

Katie: Oh, I bought lots of stuff.

Todd: Yeah, what did you buy?

Katie: I bought some new shoes and I bought a new dress?

Todd: Oh. Why did you buy a new dress?

Katie: It was cheap.

Todd: Okay.

Katie: It was on sale.

Todd: No special plans?

Katie: No, I just like buying clothes.

Todd: Oh, that's good. Yeah, I'm the opposite. I don't like buying clothes. So did you do anything else on Sunday?

Katie: After I went shopping, I went to a café with my friend.

Todd: Okay. Oh, cool. Nice.

Katie: And we drank some coffee.

Todd: What café did you go to?

Katie: I went to Starbucks.

Todd: Oh, everybody goes to Starbucks.

Katie: I love Starbucks.

Todd: Yeah, I love Starbucks too.

Katie: How about you though, what did you do this weekend?

Todd: Well, I had a great weekend. I took it easy also. I didn't do too much. I saw a movie on Saturday night, that was fun.

Katie: Oh, really? What movie did you watch?

Todd: I finally saw the new Star Wars movie, Rogue One.

Katie: You saw the new Star Wars movie.

Todd: Yeah, I loved it. It's so good.

Katie: Wow, sounds good. I haven't seen it yet.

Todd: Oh, it's really good. I hated the first Star Wars movie, the last one, The Force Awakens.

Katie: Oh, really?

Todd: No, I didn't like it.

Katie: Why?

Todd: It's just boring. It wasn't that interesting. But the next one Rogue One was so good.

Katie: Oh, I see. Why did you think so?

Todd: I just liked the characters. The story was interesting. It was fun, it was a good movie.

Katie: I see. Did you go with anybody?

Todd: No, I went alone.

Katie: Oh, really?

Todd: Yeah. I often go to movies alone. So I like to go to movies alone, actually.

Katie: Oh, why?

Todd: Because I rarely see movies and if I see a movie, I just want to watch the movie.

Katie: I see.

Todd: Yeah, I know, it sounds boring, hm?

Katie: I don't like it when people eat popcorn in movies either.

Todd: Oh, I know. Yeah.

Katie: : I don't like the noise that people make.

Todd: Oh, I know, it's so annoying.

Katie: So I can understand why you want to see movies by yourself.

Todd: Yeah.

Katie: How about Sunday? Did you do anything on Sunday?

Todd: Yeah, I had a good time. I went to the park. There's a beautiful park down by the bay and I went jogging. And I took a bunch of photos because the weather was beautiful.

Katie: What did you take photos of?

Todd: Oh, I just took photos of the water, of people at the park, of the mountains. It was a clear day and the sky was really, really beautiful.

Katie: Sounds nice.

Todd: Yeah.

Katie: You'll have to show me afterwards.

Todd: Oh, yeah, you have to go there. It's a great, great park. Well, it sounds like you had a good weekend.

Katie: You too.
