A Busy Day

Everyday English Conversation

🎧 Listen to the Story

Hi, Maria! You look tired. Are you okay?

Hi, David! Yes, I am fine, but I am very busy today. First, I went to the grocery store.

Oh? What did you buy?

I bought red apples, green vegetables, and some chicken. I want to cook a good dinner later.

That sounds nice. Did you see the movie tickets for tonight?

Yes, I checked on my phone. They are very expensive!

Oh, that is too bad. Hey, look across the street! Is that Sam walking to the library?

Yes, it is! He walks to work every day because the weather is nice. He loves his job.

He is always a happy person. Well, since the movie tickets are expensive, do you want to watch a movie at home?

That is a great idea. But first, let's finish our coffee.

Perfect. Then we can go to my house. My brother Tom wants to make pasta with tomato sauce for everyone tonight!
