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!

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, it was much too sweet. I couldn’t eat more than two bites! That’s okay, though, because I’m on a diet.

My new girlfriend took me to a Chinese restaurant in her neighborhood the other night. It was pretty good. First we had some egg rolls. They were the best I had ever tasted. Then we ordered the beef and pepper stir-fry. It came in a very interesting sauce—spicy, but not too spicy. We also ordered the steamed vegetables, but they were awful. They were really too soft. The dessert was a big bowl of fresh fruit. Some of the fruit I had never seen. It was fantastic—and so was my date!

4.

For lunch, my co-worker and I went to a nice little French restaurant near our office. He didn’t feel like eating much, so he just had a small salad. I had a large meal, though. First, I had the onion

soup, but it was much too salty. For my main dish, I had a piece of pork. It was too dry and had no taste. The vegetables were perfect, though—broccoli and peas. Those are my favorites. Finally, I had a large bowl of chocolate mousse. It was just like the chocolate mousse I had in France during my last vacation—very creamy and delicious. I think I’ll have it next time, too.

Introverts and Extroverts http://www.elllo.org/english/1351/T1397-AbidemiRory-01-Personality.htm Abidemi : Hi. So Rory. Rory : Yeah, hi. Abidemi : Hi. Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Rory : I’m not sure, you know. Sometimes I think that I’m basically an introvert. Like as I get older, I much prefer  my own company . Abidemi : Interesting. Rory : I don’t really like going to parties that much if there’s going to be new people there. If it’s my friends, I’m happy to go out, but I don’t know. What about you? Abidemi : It’s funny what you said. I feel the same way. I think sometimes I’m an introvert and other times I can be an extrovert. But maybe  in reverse  to what you said. I feel like the older I get, the more extroverted I become. Rory : That’s interesting. Abidemi : While I was younger, I was a lot shier, so I preferred my own company. But now I find that sometimes too, I really enjoy people. So I like to meet new ones. So yeah. Rory : Yes...
