餐厅指南—Restaurant Guides

While I was on a vacation last week, I decided to visit some restaurants to try some of the local cuisine; however, I didn't have a clue about the types of restaurants available, so I checked an online restaurant guide to give me some ideas and tips.

鞋店—Shoe Store

The new school year is just around the corner, so we took the family to the shoe store to buy some new shoes. Our kids have outgrown many of their shoes, so we first measured their shoe size. Our youngest kids needed athletic shoes for playing outsid

超市—Supermarket

I usually go to the supermarket about once or twice a week to buy groceries. Since I do a lot of shopping, I usually need a shopping cart to carry everything. I first stop by the deli counter to pick up some sliced cheese. Then, I look for some fruit

火车站—Train Station

I always take the train to work. At the station, I walk up to a ticket machine, select my destination by pressing a button on the machine, insert the correct change, and press another button to purchase a ticket. When the ticket comes out, I take it

药房—Pharmacy

I was feeling under the weather yesterday, so I went to the doctor, and she prescribed some medication for my illness. I took the prescription she wrote out, and I went to a local pharmacy near my house. I gave the prescription to the pharmacist, and

宠物店—Pet Store

I own a wonderful dog, and I often visit the pet store to pick up some animal supplies. Because I have a big dog, I have to buy a lot of dog food, but I also purchase a variety of doggie treats that I use to feed him when I do obedience training. In

晚饭食谱—Dinner Recipes

This evening, I'm going to make some delicious spaghetti and a healthy salad for dinner following an old Italian recipe my grandmother used to make all the time. First of all, I put a pot of water on the stove to heat up until it boils. I add about a

粉刷房子—Painting the House

The interior of our house was last painted about 15 years ago, and the painting is now peeling and chipping in some places. Therefore, we decided to give the house a new fresh coat of paint. We wanted to paint the house the same color, so we took a f

比萨饼店—Pizza Restaurant

I eat pizza at least once a week with my roommate. I usually order a large pizza with three toppings: sausage, pepperoni, and green onions, but my roommate doesn't like sausage or green onions, so we usually order a half-and-half pizza. On one half,

打理草坪—Lawn Care

During the summer months, I often have a barbecue with my friends. I first put charcoal in the grill, pour some lighter fluid over the charcoal, and then light the grill with a match. It usually takes a few minutes for the grill to get going, and I d

公园—Park

Every weekend, I take my kids to go the park to play on the playground equipment. It's also a good way for them to meet kids their own age and make friends. They really like to play on the swings, go down the slide, and climb on the jungle gym. They

洗车—Car Wash

My car really gets dirty throughout the week from dust and dirt on the road and in the air, so I pull it into the driveway or on my lawn and give it a good wash. I get a bucket, a sponge, some rags, and some car soap, and I'm ready to go. I first use

二手车经销商—Used Car Dealership

If you are looking for a car to drive, you can either buy a used vehicle (previously-owned car) or a new one. I suggest you buy a used car, but there are a few things you should keep in mind to get the best deal. First of all, be sure to shop around

发型塑造—Hair Styling

I often style my hair after I get out of the shower. I first blow dry my hair (with a blow dryer, of course), put some styling gel in my hair, and then comb my hair to the style I want it. If I run out of hair gel, I use hairspray instead to make my

改善房屋—Home Improvements

As a general rule, I prepare breakfast for my family using an old pancake recipe that my grandma taught me years ago. I mix together the ingredients including flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In the meantime, I heat up a non-stick pan
