1. steak restaurant I went to a new steak restaurant last night that opened near my house. I love trying new places. To start the meal, I had an interesting appetizer. It was some kind of seafood with a spicy sauce on it… Mmm! The main dish, of course, was steak. It was very small and a little tough, though. However, the vegetables were great—nice and fresh, but not too oily. The final thing was the best—the dessert! It was apple pie with a lot of ice cream on it. I know that I shouldn’t eat so many sweets, but it was delicious! 2. seafood restaurant Have you ever tried that seafood restaurant on Main Street? You should, it’s great! I go there often. In fact, I went there last weekend. To begin, I had a salad. It was nice and fresh with a great house dressing. My main dish was a fish that I had never tried. I really enjoyed the spices it was cooked in. The vegetables were good, very fresh and tasty. For dessert, I had chocolate cake. It’s usually very delicious, but this time

1.  Hey, what a great party that was!   There were lots of interesting people  there, and some really cute guys. I met one really nice guy named Tony—I think he’s going to call me next week.   Anyway, the best thing was the music. Everyone danced a lot. I’m really glad we didn’t have to play party games or sing stupid songs. The food was good, too. We ate outside—you know, barbecue style. 2. Peter’s party was terrible. We had to play all sorts of stupid games, like memorizing everyone’s name. Twenty questions I think. Then we watched a home video of Peter’s vacation in Hawaii. Boring! Actually, I prefer parties where people just sit around and talk and eat, but we didn’t eat till very late. The worst thing was when we finally did eat, there wasn’t enough food. I was still feeling hungry when I left. 3. I went to this party on Saturday night When I arrived, I looked around and I didn’t know  anyone  there, but everyone was really friendly and soon I got to know a lot of pe

  Apartment living [căn hộ chung cư] 1. The bookshelf looks really good in the living room. And the TV is just fine. When I find a stereo, I’m going to put it in the bookshelf. I don’t have a stereo now because I want to find a cheap one. I’m going to check out the sales next week. I’ve got a dinner table, but I still need a sofa. Now I have to sit at the dinner table to watch TV. My living room is small, so I want a small sofa. 2. If you have an old bookshelf you aren’t using, I’d be really happy to buy it! I haven’t been able to find one that is the right size. All the ones I looked at were too big. Right now there are books all over the floor. But I managed to pick up a really good TV and stereo at a yard sale last weekend. I still need to find a dinner table. All the ones I looked at in the stores were too expensive. 3. I was thinking about getting a bookshelf, but I don’t have many books yet, so I guess I can wait. I was lucky. I got a really cheap used TV the ot

The drivers drive too fast and really dangerously. And they’re often rude. The cars are mostly in pretty poor condition. But what I hate the most is that they aren’t air conditioned. It’s so hot here. They really need air-conditioned taxis. By the time I arrive somewhere, I feel really hot and uncomfortable. 2. I’ve taken quite a few taxi rides recently. I’ve never had any big problems using taxis here. They’re usually clean and the cars are pretty new. The prices are good, too. The thing I like most, though, is the drivers. They drive very carefully, and I think that’s very important. 3. I find that taxis here are okay. They’re pretty comfortable. Most of the cars they use are new and they keep them really clean. They’re a little expensive, though. I paid $50 to come from the airpo
