2020.12.23. – Getting ready for Christmas

Szia,

Ma folytatjuk a karácsonyos témát, és a heti utolsó leckében egy párbeszédet hoztam, amely az ünnepekre való hangolódásról szól. 

Nálunk azonban nincs leállás, ezért érdemes minket követni a Facebook oldalunkon is, ahol minden nap új mini leckékkel várunk az ünnepek alatt is. 

Nagyon kellemes karácsonyt kívánok neked! 

Üdv, 

Nóri

GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS
KARÁCSONYI KÉSZÜLŐDÉS

Woman: Oh, my God! It’s already December. Christmas is knocking at the door and we haven’t yet done any preparation for it. I’m afraid we won’t be ready in time.
Man: Calm down. Why are you freaking out? We’ve got plenty of time. It’s just a matter of planning ahead and good organisation.
Woman: You might be right, but I still feel panicky. I would like to have a perfect Christmas without any failures.
Man: Well, honey, it’s quite a lot to ask for. But I agree that we deserve a better Christmas than last year when everything went wrong and we ended up eating something out of the freezer after the turkey had been ruined.
Woman: Don’t even remind me of that. I’m still ashamed of not having been able to prepare a proper Christmas dinner.
Man: Never mind. Everyone survived. I’ve got an idea. We’d better order the food this year instead of you spending the whole day in the kitchen. I’d rather you spent some quality time with the kids preparing for the evening. You could read the Christmas story together and watch Christmas movies.
Woman: Sounds good. Any idea where to order food from?
Man: I saw a post on Facebook that the restaurant on the corner takes orders for Christmas food and they deliver it on the 24th December. The photos were mouth-watering and very tempting.
Woman: What kind of dishes do they offer?
Man: Roasted duck with potatoes and apples with cranberry sauce. Your favourite food.
Woman: Are you serious? Really? Then it’s a deal. Let’s order it. What about the presents?
Man: You can always order them online. There is plenty of time for delivery. I’m sure they will be here in time. I would like to have a hassle free Christmas with the least possible stress involved.
Woman: You are right. Let’s do it this way this year.
