ESL Podcast 411 - Eating Junk Food

Frank: Hand me that bag of potato chips.

Katie: Here. You mean you're still hungry after two burgers and French fries?

Frank: Yeah, I am. I'm a growing boy. Where's the popcorn¹?

Katie: I can't believe we're eating all of this junk food. I'm supposed to be watching what I eat.

Frank: Forget about it. Who can watch a football game without stuffing their faces? It's an American tradition.

Katie: Where did you get those candy bars?

Frank: Some kids were selling them door-to-door and I thought it was my duty to buy some.

Katie: It was your duty to buy 10 candy bars?!

Frank: What can I say? I'm a softy.

Katie: I'm getting another soda². Do you want one?

Frank: No, thanks. But while you're up, can you hand me the phone?

Katie: Sure, why?

Frank: I'm ordering a pizza.
