　　Cooking

　　Adam：I’d like to help pitch in with dinner。

　　Sophie：Really? You’re joking。

　　Adam：No. I’d like to do something special for you on your birthday。

　　Sophie：I’d like that. Alright, put on this apron first。

　　Adam：OK…Now how can I help, hon?

　　Sophie：Hmm, let me see…Boil some water and then whisk two eggs。

　　Adam：Easy. I could do that with my eyes closed。(after a while)Done.    

　　Sophie：Not bad. Okay, now take some meat and potatoes from the fridge。

　Adam：How many potatoes do you need?

　　Sophie：Three. And bring four bell peppers。
