Complimenting Your Host 


Anton: Jenny, you’ve outdone yourself. This is quite a spread. 


Jenny: Thank you. I’m glad you approve. 


Anton: Approve? I think everything on this table looks exquisite 1 and mouthwatering. 


Jenny: That’s nice of you to say. I wanted everything to be perfect. 


Anton: You’ve surpassed all expectations. If this food tastes even half as good as it looks, you’ll wow every guest. 


Jenny: If you don’t stop complimenting me, I won’t be able to stop blushing. 


Anton: I’m only just beginning, because you’re a vision in that dress. 


Jenny: Oh, it’s nothing special. 


Anton: Of course it’s special, but you could wear a sack and look ravishing. 


Jenny: Okay, now I know you’re buttering me up. What gives? 


Anton: Nothing, nothing at all. You’re so suspicious. I’m just giving you my candid 2 opinion. 


Jenny: If you say so. Where’s the camera you borrowed from me for your trip? Did you bring it? 


Anton: Ah, the camera. Did I mention how much I admire that necklace you’re wearing?
