Speak English Like an American » LESSON 6 - Susan Stays Home and Bakes Cookies
Susan: Bob, I baked cookies for you.
Bob: That was so nice of you, dear. You've got a heart of gold!
Susan: Go ahead and pig out!
Bob: These are delicious!
Susan: I thought they might cheer you up. You've been in a bad mood lately.
Bob: I guess I have been a little on edge. But these cookies are just what the doctor ordered!
Nicole: Do I smell cookies?
Susan: Yes, Nicole. Help yourself.
Nicole: Yum-yum.* These are out of this world. You could go into business selling these!
Bob: You could call them Susan's Scrumptious Cookies. You'd make a bundle.
Susan: Good thinking!
Nicole: Don't forget to give me credit for the idea after you're rich and famous!
Susan: You know I always give credit where credit is due!
* Yum-yum: this is said when something is delicious. You can also say "mmm, mmm" or "mmm-mmm, good."
NOTE: You can tell somebody to "Cheer up!" if they are feeling sad.
NOTE: Pay attention to the reflexive form: Help yourself in singular, help yourselves in plural.
NOTE: Pay attention to the preposition "on" after the verb "to pig out." One can pig out on hotdogs, pig out on candy, pig out on ice cream.
