Welcome Layla! Do you smell that pleasant scent today?
Welcome Karim! Yes, it is the scent of good food in the kitchen.
Hahaha! I am very hungry, and I want to eat now.
Wait a little! We cook dinner together this evening.
That is very wonderful! Cooking together is enjoyable and makes the time beautiful.
Today we learn six important phrases about food and the kitchen.
Our main phrase today is: We cook dinner together.
And we also listen to an amusing story and information about cooking in history.
Is there an ancient book about cooking in the city of Baghdad?
Yes, we have wonderful historical information about the book of cooking!
Wonderful! Come on, let's start our enjoyable conversation now Layla.
Last Friday, I invited my friend to my house.
And what did you do when your friend arrived at the house Layla?
I said to her with joy: Come, we cook dinner together tonight.
And was the kitchen ready for cooking at that time?
Yes, we entered the kitchen and started work with energy and pleasure.
And what is the dish that you chose to prepare in the kitchen?
I wanted to prepare vegetable soup with warm rice.
That is a healthy and very delicious dish for the dinner meal!
Yes, and I said to my friend: I prepare the food, and you help me.
And what did you ask her to do at the beginning?
I said to her: We chop the vegetables first with the small knife.
And did she chop the onions and tomatoes in the kitchen?
Yes, she started chopping onions, and suddenly she started crying a lot!
Hahaha! Onions make everyone cry when cutting always!
True, then my turn came to put the spices in the pot.
And what did you put in the big pot Layla?
I said to myself: I put the salt now carefully.
And was the salt present in a small white box?
Yes, but I took the box of sugar by a big mistake!
Oh dear! Did you put sugar instead of salt in the soup?
Yes, I put two big spoons of sugar in the pot!
Hahaha! Sweet vegetable soup! That is a very funny situation.
My friend tasted the soup, and laughed from her heart a lot.
And how did you resolve the difficult situation in the kitchen?
We washed a new pot, and we said: We cook dinner together anew!
That is wonderful! Trying again is a very excellent thing.
In the end, we ate with joy and said: The food is very delicious!
