Have You Ever Tried Fortune Cookies Before?
Page 2 Dialogue
Listen to the dialogue.
(In the living room)
Help yourself to some fortune cookies.
Have you ever tried fortune cookies before?
No, I haven’t.
Really? They’ve been very popular in the USA since the early 1900s.
That’s right.
They’ve been an important part of American food culture for a long time.
Here, try one.
Hmm....
What’s this small piece of paper inside?
Oh! That’s your “fortune.”
Go on! Read it.
It says, “You’ve already gone through the worst part of your life.”
Wow! How did the cookie know that?
My sentence says, “All roads lead to Rome.”
Why did the cookie say that?
I’ve never been to Rome.
Come on, Peter.
This is fun.
Are there any more “fortunes”?
Sure. But you’ll have to eat up all the cookies first.
Oh, no problem.
I haven’t eaten my lunch yet.
