013 kitchen

Beginner
A: can you give me a hand with some things in the kitchen? I don’t think I can finish everything in time.
B: ok, what do you want me to do?
A: first of all, I need you to do the drying up. I’m almost finished the washing up. I’m going to clean the cooker when I finish.
B: ok. I’ll put the plates and cutlery away as I dry them. Where is the tea towel? Oh, here it is.
A; we’ll have this finished in no time with two if us working on it.
B: while you’re cleaning the cooker, I’ll wipe the worktop. That was a great meat, by the way.
A; actually, it was just some leftovers 1 from yesterday. I made far too much food to eat alone. I am glad you could come over to help me finish it.
B: my pleasure! This tea towel’s a little ragged 2. Do you have another one?
A: yes. Look in that drawer. I should throw the old one out.
B: keep it and use it as rag. You can clean your bicycle with it.

Intermediate 3
A: so, what’s new in the kitchen? That refrigerator is new, isn’t it?
B: yes. I needed a large one. Before, I had a separate refrigerator and freezer, but this has both combined into one.
A: That’s usual nowadays. You’ve added a few shelves too.
B: yes. You know I’ve been cooking more kind of food recently and I needed some extra space for spices and ingredients.
A: Did you buy new cupboards too?
B: no, I didn’t. I gave them a really good clean, so they just look new. The worktop was in poor condition, so I had a new one added.
A: I see that you have bought several new pots and pans and utensils 4.
B; yes, I have. I need them to help me with these new dished I’m trying to make. I need a little more practice before I invite guests over.
A: looking at the spice rack, I’d say you’ve been learning how to make asian food.
B; yes. I’ve always likes Indian and thai food, so I’ve been trying to make dishes from those countries. I’m pretty good at making curries 5 now, but I still need practice at making thai food.
A: both kinds of food are becoming popular. Nowadays, it’s very easy to pick up the ingredients at the supermarket.
B: I hope you can stay for dinner. I need a guinea pig!
