英语播客中级版The Butcher

Hey guys!

I'm not a big meat eater myself. Actually, I'm kind of a fake vegetarian, I would say ;o) But anyways, I love the vocab of the lesson, so here we go:

***

M: Hello everyone! And welcome back to EnglishPod! My name is Marco.

C: And my name is Catherine.

M: And today we’re gonna be visiting one of my favorite places I must say.

C: Really, so you’re… you’re a big meat eater.

M: I am. I have to have meat everyday, so that’s why I usually go to the butcher.

C: Alright, so vegetarians, be warned.

M: Hehe.

C: Today’s dialogue is all about eating meat and where to go to get meat, so as Marco said, that place is called the butcher’s.

M: So we’re gonna be visiting the butcher and we’re gonna learn all the different types of meat you can find there.

C: Great, so, uh, we don’t have anything to preview, but before we get started [I] just like to mention that you’re gonna hear a lot of different kinds of words and we’ll be back in a minute to talk about what they mean.

DIALOGUE, FIRST TIME

Butcher: Hi. What can I get for you?
Gina: I’d like a half a pound of ground beef,please.
Butcher: Good choice! Our ground beef is extra lean, if you know what I mean.
Gina: Could I also have half a dozen pork chops and two pounds of boneless chicken breasts?
Butcher: No, no no no chicken breasts at the moment, but we have some nice chicken thighs.
Gina: No, that won’t do. I’ll take this smoked ham you have here.
Butcher: Okay, is there anything else?
Gina: Do you have any other cold cuts? Is this salami and bologna you have here?
Butcher: Yes! It’s very fine meat! Made it myself...
Gina: Sounds good. Okay, that’s it.
Butcher: Wait! We have T-bone, rib eye, and sirloin steaks. They are very fresh! Just
came from the slaughter house...
Gina: Mmm... No that’s okay, really. I think that’s all for today.
Butcher: Okay. That will be thirty-four dollars and fifty cents.
