AUDIO TRANSCRIPT
Olivia: What’s for dinner? I want soup!
Ben: I’m thinking about making pasta. But we need to go shopping. Let’s make a list.
Olivia: What do we have in the kitchen?
Ben: Hmmm. We have a lot of eggs. And a potato.
Olivia: Do we have any onions?
Ben: Yes, we have some onions. There are three onions here.
Olivia: What about fruit? Do we have any apples?
Ben: No, we don’t have any apples. I’m writing apples on the list.
Olivia: I think we need bread.
Ben: You’re right. We don’t have any bread.
Olivia: I want some honey. This jar is empty.
Ben: Sure. I like honey. I think we also need sparkling water. Can you check? Do we need any sparkling water?
Olivia: No, we don’t need any sparkling water. There are lots of bottles under the stairs. But what about dinner tonight? This shopping list doesn’t sound like pasta or soup.
Ben: I have an idea. We can use the eggs to make an omelet. If we get lots of lettuce, then I can make a salad tonight, and we can have salad for lunch tomorrow, too!
Olivia: Sounds great. Healthy and delicious. Let’s go!
