conversation 001
I’m a vegetarian
A: So, what should we order? I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse.
B: Well, I’m a vegetarian. So, I’ll just have a vegetarian set meal.
A: What? Really? How long have you being vegetarian for?
B: Since the university. I read some books about how we treat animals, I couldn’t eat any meat after that.
A: If I don’t eat meat, I don’t feel full. Do you eat eggs or cheese? How about fish?
B: I don’t eat fish, but I do eat eggs and cheese. I tried going vegan before, but I couldn’t give up cheese.
A: You know, I’m not ready to stop eating meat, but I think I should cut back a bit.
B: So, next time we have lunch, let’s go to a vegetarian restaurant. My treat!
We are at a restaurant. Very commom phrase
Can we change horse to another animal here? No, it is a fixed phrase.
Vegetarian eats only meat, vegan don’t wear any animal product. It is very difficult to live like this.
I need to cut back on smoking. I need to cut back on beer.
How do you use “cut back” in different ways?

Why do yo learn a foreign language?
Motivation is the most importan thing. without it we can't be sucess!
I am a PHD student, and we have to have English lessons in our high school and collage. I must write my papers in English. But the basic function of language is communication, I think oral English is more important than writting skills.
If you willn't come to China or became a translator, why do you lear Mandarin?

How do you celebrate your birthday?
We learned form our textbook, that Americans typically throw a party to celebrate their birthday. Is that true? If so, what will you do on the party? Eating favourate foods, or dangcing or singing or anything else? And who will pay for the cost.
Most time we can get a present from our parents, a little bit expensive things. We usually go out to dinner with our family, and eat noddle. You know the noddle is long&thin. in Mandarin the pronounciation of "thin" is the same as ”寿“ , means lifetime.So we eat noddle, expect for a long lifeO(∩_∩)O~
Thanks for your attention!

How do you say those two sentences in natural way?
I don't have any physical problem, but some unhappy things screw up my mood. So I can't read my book, and I can't prepare for my experiment. Just want to grap someone and have a talk.
